Hi Experts ,

i am implementing a crud operation using conversational AI , i am successfully able to connect S/4 HANA to conversational AI through ODATA provisioning and able to read the data from ODATA service , Now my doubt is in creation/updation of record at S/4 HANA i want to send the Json payload from conversational AI along with my ODATA Service URL , but i am not getting any documents or blog how to do it .

Hi Nitin,

In Action tab, before passing the JSON payload data to SAP using POST call, we need to fetch the X-CSRF token first, for this we need to make a dummy call using GET method as below screen.

Once CSRF token is fetch need to make a POST call and provide below required information.

similar way you can pass the payload data to SAP.

Hi nitssaxena2608

Try to use webhook method and build it through python/nodejs script calling odata service and upload it BTP cloud foundry service.

you can see many examples from blogs :
