Resco CRM connector is a group of web API services that you can use to connect your third-party backend to Resco Cloud to exchange data between the systems. These are the components involved in Resco CRM Connector.

• Your system: any CRM/ERP system
• Resco CRM Connector: Synchronization module between your backend and Resco Cloud
• Resco Cloud: Fully customizable backend for Resco mobile apps
• Resco mobile apps: Any of the end-user applications customized for Resco Cloud, such as Resco Mobile CRM

Resco Cloud and mobile apps are provided by Resco. Resco Cloud allows you to define schema and stores data for mobile apps, which is used to display the data.

You can now build your own Resco CRM Connector to enable the synchronization between your backend system and the Resco Cloud. Resco Cloud acts as a passive module — it does not initiate any synchronization. Mobile apps must initiate the synchronization process to download/upload data. This also applies to Resco CRM Connector. It must determine when/whether to synchronize ERP system data with data stored on the Resco Cloud. For example, every hour, every day, etc., depends on how current the data must be on the clients. To check whether there are new/updated data on the Resco Cloud use “GetMaxRowVersion” web service method to get the current row version. If the current row version changed from the last stored row version, there are new changes available on the Resco Cloud.

Available APIs

Resco CRM Connector offers multiple APIs:

• REST data service - a set of REST web service methods divided into metadata service and data service
• OData service
• Questionnaire OData service - read-only OData v4 API service for accessing questionnaire results
• Resco Cloud Client web services API

This article describes the REST data service.

Data types

• UniqueIdentifier
• String
• Integer
• Float
• Decimal
• DateTime
• Picklist
• PicklistMap
• Boolean
• Money
• Binary
• Lookup
• RowVersion
• PartyList

By default, the data type format in data service requests and responses is in invariant culture (for example, the decimal separator is always a dot).

Date fields are in UTC time, in the following format: yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ; for example, 2020-12-12T09:00:00. Optionally, you can use syntax defined in RFC 3339 to modify this format.

Lookup fields are essentially strings in the following formats:

• entity:id (for create/update requests)
• entity:id:name (for fetch requests)

PartyList fields use the following format (parts in square brackets are optional):

<party [addressused='rajesh@example.com']>entity:id[:name]</party>
<party [addressused='howard@example.com']>entity:id[:name]</party>
...

Data service

Data service helps you access and manipulate data on Resco CRM server. The web service URL depends on server settings; whether the server uses domain organization selection or simple URL organization selection.

• URL organization base web service URL is: https://example.com/rest/v1/data/{organization}
• Domain organization base web service URL is: https://{organization}.example.com/rest/v1/data

Examples

• Resco Cloud server uses the following domain organization selection: https://{organization}.app.resco.net/rest/v1/data
• Resco Inspections cloud server uses the following domain organization selection: https://inspections.resco.net/rest/v1/data/{organization}
• Resco Routes cloud server uses the following domain organization selection: https://routes.resco.net/rest/v1/data/{organization}

                </OutputVariables>
</WorkflowExecuteRequest>

• WorkflowReference - EntityReference to record in resco_workflow entity.
• PrimaryEntity - Determine the primary entity used in the workflow as the 'Entity' variable. It can be defined as a new Entity.
• PrimaryReference - Determine the primary entity used in the workflow as the 'Entity' variable. It can be defined as an EntityReference to an existing entity record.
• InputVariables - Determine input variables that can be used in the workflow.
• OutputVariables - Determine names of variables that should be returned from the workflow.

Result:

<WorkflowExecuteResult>
                <Result>Succeeded</Result>
                <Saved>true</Saved>
                <Log>Workflow log.</Log>

                </OutputVariables>
</WorkflowExecuteResult>

• Result - Determine the result status of the workflow (InProgress, Succeeded, Failed, Canceled).
• Saved - Determine whether the WorkflowExecuteRequest.PrimaryEntity was changed and updated after workflow execution.
• Log - Determine the result log printed by workflow.
• OutputVariables - Contains the output variables returned from the workflow.

Asynchronous operations

All operations with "Multiple" in their names support asynchronous execution. Use the Prefer header to instruct the server to use async operations:

Prefer: respond-async
Prefer: respond-async, wait=10

The wait HTTP preference is optional. It indicates the maximum duration the client is willing to wait for a response. The default value is 20 seconds. The server returns "200 OK" when completed within the wait time or "202 Accepted" when not.

To poll the current status of the async operation, execute the "Multiple" method with an empty body and $ticket={ticket} query string, where the {ticket} is returned with the first request "202 Accepted".

There is a response header "Progress" with the progress of the async operation.

Webhooks

Resco Cloud REST API supports webhooks. A create, update, or delete operation on the server can trigger a callback to a URL of your choosing.

CreateWebhook: /$hook?$entity={entity}&$action={action}

• entity: entity name
• action: one of [Create | Update | Delete]
• POST BODY: <Url><CallbackUrl>URL to invoke</CallbackUrl></Url>
• RESPONSE HEADER: Location: URL to delete webhook

The BODY of the request to the external URL is in JSON format: '{ "id": "record id" }'

Sample C# project

For your convenience, we have prepared a C# project that implements the data service.
