Fixed – Hide field option missing for dropdown (OptionSet) field in Marketing Form – Dynamics 365 Marketing

Recently while designing the marketing form, we realized the Hide field option missing for our dropdown fields.

There are 2 ways to solve this –

In the HTML designer mode for the Marketing form –

Add the attribute hidden=”hidden” for the field

The field will be hidden but the Hide field toggle won’t be available in the designer.

Change the data-editorblocktype from “Field-dropdown” to “Field-checkbox“.

This adds the Hide field toggle option in the designer.

The result –

How to – use Page Personalization in Dynamics 365 Marketing

Page personalization uses cookies stored in the user’s browser for identifying the contact, and then fetches values for the contact record using JavaScript.

For page personalization to work –

The domain should be authenticated
It must use HTTPS
Contact should have Prefilling enabled i.e. Prefill Marketing Form field in the Contact record should have the value Allow.
Specify the contact fields to be made available.

Below is the marketing form (landing page) that we’d be using.

The form has a Remember Me element in it required for Personalized Pages. It gets automatically added to the form if we enable PreFill for the form.

https://nishantrana.me/2022/11/16/how-to-enable-prefill-for-marketing-forms/

We have only kept Pre Fill enabled for the City field. The other fields in the form have prefilled disabled.

Create a new personalized page, navigate to Outbound marketing >> Marketing Content >> Personalized Pages and add

Personalized page fields to it

After adding the fields, Click on Go live.

Going live generates the JavaScript
code, that we’d paste into our page, in the <head> section of the HTML.

As we have added 3 Personalized page fields, we will have access to the value of only these 3 fields on the page where this script is used, even though our Marketing form can have multiple fields or even if the cookie has other values stored as part of another marketing form.

Below we have added the JavaScript code in the head section and modified it to fetch the value of 3 fields added and also we have the code for embedding the Marketing form.

Lastly, we have a Div element to show the personalized message to the user.

Below is our page

Let us populate the values and submit the details (with Remember me enabled)

Let us refresh the page after a few seconds. This is because in the background we will have the lead/contact record either created or updated based on what we have specified in the Marketing form.

As expected, we have the div populated with First Name, Last Name, and City details using the Personalized Page’s JavaScript.

Also as we had Pre-fill enabled for only the City field, we can see the value automatically populated for it.

Implementing Dynamics 365 Service Bus Listener using Azure Function

YanivRDT

One of the built-in triggers for Azure Function App is Service Bus (ASB) queue trigger, which makes Azure Function a listener for ASB events.
While Azure Service Bus provides a robust decoupling mechanism, the receiving side has to poll for messages or implement a listener.

This trigger makes Azure Functions an ideal implementation component for Inbound Asynchronous Integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365,
one that allows you to write custom code, but releases you from explicitly writing a listener.
An Inbound Asynchronous Integration pattern describes scenarios where a business event occurs in an external application and must be reflected into Dynamics 365.
Processing of the event in Dynamics 365 does not occur immediately and sometimes no response is required from Dynamics 365 side (one way).

In this post I’ll walkthrough the process of setting an Azure Function as an ASB one-way listener which posts incoming messages into Dynamics 365.

How to enable prefill for marketing forms

How to – embed marketing form on an external page

Here we will see Prefill in action.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/marketing/form-prefill#create-a-landing-page-form-with-prefill-enabled

We have created the below marketing form (type – Landing Page) right now (currently Pre-fill is set as default false for the form/fields)

Submit the form –

We can see the contact / lead records created as part of submission.

The contact has Do not allow for Prefill marketing form field

Opening the website we don’t see any pre-fill information as expected.

Now let us enable prefill for the fields and for the form.

Enabling Prefill for form automatically adds the Remember me element to the form. It is tied to Prefill marketing form field on the contact record as we saw earlier and required for prefilling to work.

Let us submit the form, this time with Remember me as true.

We can see Prefill marketing form field set as Allow for the contact.

Load the marketing form page again and we can see the value already pre-filled or populated for the user.

We saw how we can enable prefilling for Landing Page type form, by enabling prefill as true at form and field level and adding the remember me element.

For form type – Subscription Center, pre-filling is already enabled for all the fields regardless of their prefill setting, and at the form level also it is set as true and the field is read-only.

Here we do not have to add a remember-me element.

Here we must include the Do not email element.

Prefill in the case of subscription form

How to – use form capture to integrate with external form in Dynamics 365 Marketing

We’d use form capture option when we want to integrate with external form not not created in Dynamics 365 Marketing .

Let us take a simple example to understand how the form capture works.

Check the previous post on embedding the Dynamics 365 Marketing form on an external page – https://nishantrana.me/2022/11/10/how-to-embed-marketing-form-on-an-external-page/

Here we have this simple HTML page having a form in it.

Navigate to Outbound marketing >> Internet Marketing >> Marketing forms

Select Capture Form in the command bar.

Enter the URL of the page which has the form in it.

For the verification process to be successful, we need to copy the form capture code to the web page. We can find the form capture code in the Marketing website record.

Else in the next step, it will check for the script and if not found will give the option to use an existing script or generate a new one to copy to that web page.

Once we have entered the script, we’d get the message that the tracking script is valid on re-running the verification.

It will identify and load all the forms found on the page. Select the form.

Next map the fields in the form with Dynamics 365 Field, and click on Save and Close.

We can see the website and field mapping details in the marketing form record, with the option of Rescan form and Go live.

Let us Go live with the form.

Let us refresh our page which has the form, and submit the details.

Back in the Submissions tab of the marketing form, we can the submitted values as pending initially.

In the Insights, later we can see the form submissions

And Form Visits details

Note – Prefill isn’t supported for Form Capture

Fixed – change the owner of the Flow or Flow client error returned with the status code “Forbidden” and ConnectionAuthorizationFailed in Power Automate

Recently while trying to change the owner of the workflow we were getting the below error

Flow client error returned with status code “Forbidden” and details “(“error”:X [“code”: “ConnectionAuthorizationFailed”, “message”: “The caller object id is ‘ffcdd1fc-2858-4019-9a96-19d73ae124c8″. Connection ‘providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/APIs/shared_commondataserviceforapps/connections/shared-commondataser-87229e07-1003-4e05-8172-fdaf112ceb98’ to ‘shared_commondataserviceforapps cannot be used to activate this flow, either because this is not a valid connection or because it is not a connection you have access permission for. Either replace the connection with a valid connection you can access or have the connection owner activate the flow, so the connection is shared with you in the context of this flow.”}}”.

Below are the steps we were following to change the owner of the cloud flow –

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/change-cloud-flow-owner

Select Edit for the flow, specify the owner and save.

In our case, the owner had left the organization and the user’s record was not available in the CRM. Finally, we managed to change the owner and fix the issue, by assigning the new owner to the corresponding modern flow record through the below steps –
