Configuration

tip

For more information on the setup of a connectorConnectorAn integration that links Dime.Scheduler to a back-office system, routing data in and scheduling decisions back out., read this first.

Setting up the webhook connector takes a single step: add a connector to Dime.Scheduler and point it at your URL. That URL must be publicly accessible and able to receive a POST request. By default the data is passed as JSON.

For example, you can use the webhook connector to push appointments back to the Power Platform and everything connected to it.

In the connector settings, set the HTTP POST URI:

The full appointmentAppointmentA task scheduled to a resource for a specific period - the scheduled instance you see on the planning board. schema is published every time you act on the planning boardPlanning boardThe main graphical scheduling surface where dispatchers drag tasks onto resources across a timeline., so you have access to properties such as:

• Subject and body
• Start and end time
• Assigned resources
• The work item (task and job)
• Visual indicators
• Custom fields
• ...and more

Source App

The source appSource appAn identifier Dime.Scheduler attaches to data so it can route a change back to the correct back-office system. identifies which back-office system the resourcesResourceAn entity that can carry out work - a person, vehicle, tool, or room - that you schedule on the planning board., tasksTaskA unit of work that belongs to a job. It appears in the open task list until it is scheduled to a resource. and appointments belong to. You can tie a connector to another system, such as Business Central, to handle ancillary tasks like sending out emails, and reuse the same source app identifier as the BC administration.

In other cases the target is more fundamental, such as a CRM system you want to write planning data back to. Whatever the use case, use a unique and descriptive name to identify the originating system.

Alternative: Power Automate triggers

You can reach the same result with the Dime.Scheduler connector in Power Automate. Behind the scenes, Power Automate registers a new connector in Dime.Scheduler when you start the flow with one of Dime.Scheduler's triggers:
