Submitting form values to an external website after record insertion.

Hello,

I seek a little advice as i am new to this (external accessing) concept.

From what i understand, is that an external access to Sage CRM in a secure and the only way can be achieved by using Web Services which are using Sage API.

However, lets just say that, i only need to post a form to a URL after a record is saved - in other words, i am the one who wants to use a web service or a simple website URL for seamless and external data submission.

One way would be to do it with JavaScript or JQuery form submission and the other way would be to do it on the server side with C#.Net which is more secure.

Is a form submission on the server side with POST method (meaning no query strings) possible? - if so are there any Sage APIs, i can take advantage of?

Could someone provide a simple example in C#.Net please? - It could save me a lot of time.

Regards,

Michal

    I think I need to know a little more about the external form and Sage CRM.

    Is the website that serves to form to the person entering the data on a website beyond the corporate firewall? Is it within the DMZ and is the Sage CRM server within the corporate network?

    If the web form and Sage CRM are within the same server then COM is an additional choice (and that can be used ina an ASPX page. But if the web form and the Sage CRM are separate then you'll need to use either web services or possibly use a mechanism like webform to email - and then handle the email using the Advanced Email Manager.
