Fixed – Exception in creation of lead (Dynamics 365 Marketing)

Recently we were getting the below error in one of our marketing forms for form submission record.

Exception in Creation of lead – Activity id: 40ff82fc-bb10-4d30-8671-12683392ccdf, Request id: AsChkx2zn5IKrjHVC4cTb6j-ZkB23D0PqgCdxwi8kEE_0, Exception: An item with the same key has already been added.

This was because we had mistakenly added first name fields twice as the form-matching attribute in the form-matching rule used for that form.

Deleting that extra field resolved the issue for us.

Hope it helps..

How to – Extend (Recover) the trial environment (Dataverse / Dynamics 365)

On logging into Power Platform Admin Center, we would see our trial environment as expired

And then within one day or so, we would see them deleted inside Recently deleted environments

Select the deleted environment and Select Recover

Within 10 -15 minutes we can see the environment recovered with the trial extended for 13 more days.

Hope it helps..

Today while working on one of the queryexpression code in my project I faced this issue.

Error Details

Get RequiredAttendee (Required) from the Meeting (appointment) table – Power Automate / Dataverse

Below is the sample flow we can use to retrieve the Required (requiredattendees) field’s value from the Meeting table (on the update of the record).

Here we are triggering the flow, if there is an update in the subject field of the meeting record.

Then using the List rows action we are fetching the Activity Parties record associated using the Appointment’s unique identifier and participation mask as 5.

Filter rows using contains, startswith and endwith Power Automate – Dataverse

Recently in one of our projects, we were using the Microsoft Bookings App for the users to book an appointment(outlook) and then were syncing this appointment back to Dynamics 365 through the category “Tracked to Dynamics 365” (Server Side Synchronization)

Get more details on it here – https://nishantrana.me/2022/03/22/how-to-synchronize-appointments-between-dynamics-365-and-outlook-using-server-side-synchronization/

Here if the users were canceling the tracked appointment in Outlook, it will update the subject of the appointment record with the prefix – Canceled but will not cancel the record i.e. update the status of the record.

This would happen if the user canceling the appointment is not the organizer.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/sync-logic#syncing-canceled-and-deleted-appointments-from-exchange-to-dynamics-365

So here we were implementing a flow to check for updates in the Subject column with the word canceled and then updating the status of the appointment as canceled.

Here we can specify our select columns and filter conditions as follows – contains
