Step by step – Deleting an existing plugin from Plugin Assembly (Dataverse)

Recently we had a requirement to remove an existing plugin, as that was no more required.

Of course, we can simply disable the step here, but then going forward we might end up with too many such plugins and we will always have an overhead to make sure those steps are disabled, whenever we deploy the plugin to other environments,

As a first step, we can remove the plugin class from the project, either exclude or delete

Here, if we try to update the assembly we will get the error about the missing Plugin Type.

So as a next step, we need to Unregister the plugin from the Assembly through the Plugin Registration Tool.

Now we will be able to update our Plugin Assembly successfully.

Lastly, when we have to move the Solution having this plugin assembly to another environment, we can first remove the same Plugin Type from that environment through the Plugin Registration tool, before importing the solution.

Please refer to the helpful post – https://d365demystified.com/2021/12/19/renaming-or-deleting-a-plugin-in-dynamics-365-crm/

Hope it helps..

Use Query Assist Copilot to create Segments (Dynamics 365 Marketing)

Using Query Assist Copilot we can create segments easily through its Natural Language Processing (NLP) capability.

Create a new Segment from Real-Time Marketing >> Audience >> Segments

Specify the segment name and the target audience (either contact or lead)

Now in Query Assist, we can specify the details of the segment

It also provides us the suggestions.

Let us select the “Contacts who were created last year and make more than $50K” option and append “who work in Financial Industry to it”.

Clicking on Create will open the segment designer page along with the Query Assist panel, which shows the result of the Query.

Click on Use to use that query result.

We can add further conditions to it.

Here we selected the example “Contact who opened an email“

We can then add the result through the “Use” option

The query gets updated with the new condition

We also get the option to generate a summary for the segment or get suggestions for improving the segment.

Clicking on View Summary generates the summary.
