How to properly develop your own REST methods for on-premise Bitrix24

During one of our recent implementations, CRM Bitrix24 was used as a backend for another external system - for a student's account. Through an account interface, students can apply for training in the chosen course, upload the necessary documents, monitor the status of their application, pay tuition bills, and also interact with their curators. All this is very deeply integrated with Bitrix24 business processes. For such a deep integration of Bitrix with a third-party system, we lacked standard REST methods - the logic for using requests became too complicated and confusing.

How to add a custom activity type in Bitrix24 CRM

During one of our recent self-hosted Bitrix24 implementations, we had the task of adding a new type of Activity to CRM - something between a Call Activity and a Visit Activity. The customer wanted this new Activity to be able to participate in CRM reports and filters. To begin with, it was necessary to add a link to a new Activity type in the CRM entity card. We found out that the crm.timeline component is responsible for the output of this part of the interface. In particular, its template.php contains a list of displayed links to case types. For example, for a call, something like: Accordingly, as we can see, this is a regular link with the data parameter item-item-id. So we can add ours, with our own unique data-item-id. As you can see, the href for the link is set as "#" - clicking on this link is processed by the JS code from the script.js of this component. Indeed, the BX.CrmTimelineMenuBar function is responsible for this.processItemSelection().

AWS Config - custom rules for automating system administrator's work

AWS Config is a service that enables you to assess, audit, and evaluate the configurations of your AWS resources. Config continuously monitors and records your AWS resource configurations and allows you to automate the evaluation of recorded configurations against desired configurations. What does this mean in practice? I'll tell you about my recent case. One of my clients uses the AWS Secrets Manager service to store OAuth keys and API tokens. There are a lot of keys and tokens (several hundred). Secrets rotation (update) is carried out using various AWS Lambda functions. It was difficult for the administrators to manually monitor whether everything in the system works correctly and if there are any keys that, for some reason, have not been updated for a given period of time. So I faced the task of creating 2 custom AWS Config rules:

Cloud Bitrix24 and Post Tracking - SOAP Integration via AWS Lambda

I like to use Serverless AWS technology: Lambda and API Gateway to customize the cloud Bitrix24. It is comfortable, simple, elegant and very cheap. For example, AWS Lambda gives us the possibility to check post tracking numbers for free for the first year through the Post SOAP service. After a year, if my measurements and calculations are correct, checking 100,000 post tracking numbers will cost about $12.  What do we need for this:
