How to call a Dynamics 365 Action with Input parameters from Logic App or Microsoft Flow


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,
  1. String
  2. 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:
  1. type → “Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.{{entity name}}
  2. id → Guid as string


Happy Coding :)

The idea is to fork my Azure DevOps Repo to a different organization and push changes between them. Bad news DevOps doesn’t allow to fork Repos to a different organization, you have only the capability to fork to a different Projects within the same Organization. I’m pretty much sure there are so many other ways to solve this issue, but this is the one that I found to be easy to implement. Import Repo to the new Organization Remember here you have to generate a personal token to be able to import the Repo you have to be a member of the new organization as well This might take a few minutes depending on the size of your project, once its complete you will receive a confirmation email, or just refresh it after few minutes So far all looks good, you can clone the solution in your new Organizati...

XMLHttpRequest vs Xrm.WebApi

  XMLHttpRequest vs Xrm.WebApi If you have written JavaScript code for Dynamics 365 you have seen the use of XMLHttpRequest or Xrm.WebApi to make server-side calls. The question is which one is the right one to use? So, let’s analyze the two types of calls. XMLHtttpRequest 1.        Synchronous a.        Sample Code var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v9.1/accounts", false ); 2.        Asynchronous a.        Sample Code var req = new XMLHttpRequest(); req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v9.1/accounts", true ); So, passing true parameter is going to make asynchronous call while passing it false is going to make a Synchronous call.
