CRMUGDC 2017 Meetings:
Let's jump into the CRM blogs and news from the last month.
Leon Tribe posted on Actions: The New Workflow Function. Actions are steps designed in a workflow but called from code.

Now in Dynamics 365 these can be called from workflows with the added benefit of accepting and returning values.
