How to call a Dynamics 365 Action with Input parameters from Logic App or Microsoft Flow On my previous post How to call Dynamics 365 Action from Logic App. I have described how to call an Action from a Logic App or Microsoft Flow. So you can refer that post to set up your configuration. This post is going to be about calling an Action that has Input parameters from Logic App or Microsoft Flow. We are going to use the Http Request. As a Sample Action we are going to create a global Action with 2 Input parameters , S tring EntityReference After we have set up our Http Request with the proper Authentication we will call the Sample Action as follows Parameters Inputs are passed under the body, for any EntityReference the following entries are expected : type → “Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.{{entity name}} id → Guid as string Happy Coding :)

How to Run Logic Apps for more than an hour while using Until Action. I was working on a Logic App that pulls data from Dynamics 365. Since I have more that few thousands of records i will take multiple hours for the Logic App to complete. Apparently the Using Action by default can run only for an hour, even if your custom defined condition is not satisfied. So what is causing the Time Out. As you can see under Change Limits we have two entries, Count = defines how many times it will iterate Timeout = defines how many hours it will run So to increase run time of Until Action you just have to increase the entry under Timeout. Make sure to follow the following format PT{Hours}H PT1H = 1 hour PT2H = 2 hours PT3H = 3hours ... I think you get the logic. Happy Coding :)
