Dataverse Integration

This plugin directly connects WordPress with Dataverse (formerly Common Data Service), Dynamics 365 / CRM, creating powerful portal solutions for your business.

Dataverse (formerly Common Data Service) lets you securely store and manage data that’s used by business applications. Data from your Dynamics 365 applications is also stored within the Dataverse allowing you to quickly build apps which leverage your Dynamics 365 data and extend your apps using PowerApps.

The plugin extends the Power platform to WordPress and provides full access to the Dataverse data. Written from ground-up, the plugin uses Web API to communicate with Dataverse.

Disclaimer

For this plugin to work, access to a working instance of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement or Dataverse for Apps is required. Without that the plugin is absolutely useless. Please, do not raise issues related to that fact. If you are curious to try, you can always sign up for a free trial of Dynamics 365.
