Automated SharePoint contact creation
Development of a web service for contact data processing in SharePoint
The HR consulting company Promerit has commissioned eWorks to develop a web service for contact data processing in SharePoint 2013.
The web service developed has the task of saving data in the form of a contact in a SharePoint contact list, as well as deleting and checking whether a contact already exists.
The web service was implemented using the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF); the methods can be called up according to the programming paradigms of the REST architecture (Representational State Transfer). The web service is given a person's contact details, which are processed and inserted into a contact list using the SharePoint Client Object Model. If a contact already exists, which is recognized on the basis of predefined criteria, this contact is updated.
Modern technologies such as C#, the Microsoft .NET framework, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and the SharePoint Client Object Model are used.
