Import from Excel / Import Wizard updates Record Created On (overriddencreatedon) – Dynamics 365

When we are creating new records and need the created on field to take the value provided instead of system generated, we can map it to the Record Created On field during Import from Excel option.

In fact in the Import Data Wizard also, although it doesn’t show the Record Created On field for mapping, we can map to Created On field and the behavior will be same. (and in the case of the Import from Excel in the Grid, we do not get the Created On field for mapping)

Below is the record we have created through Import Data Wizard, and we can see the values of Created on and Record Created On for it.

Anonymous Visitor tracking behavior in Dynamics 365 Marketing

Suppose, we have the below page opened in the browser, which has an embedded marketing form in it.

Opening the marketing website record associated with the marketing form, we can see the anonymous visit being tracked.

Here the user had opened the page a couple of times.

Form Visits also have the corresponding details.

Form submission – No records right now as the form hasn’t been submitted by the visitor on the page.

Now let us submit the form

After the successful submission of the form which created the contact record, we can now see a new record added on the website visitors

as well as all the previous anonymous records also updated with the same contact.

Same for Form Visits –

And as expected a new form submission record.

Now any future visit to the page gets tracked with the Contact created for that user.

In the contact record, also all the website visits get associated.

How to – Use Personalized page content in Dynamics 365 Marketing

Continuing our previous post – https://nishantrana.me/2022/11/17/how-to-use-page-personalization-in-dynamics-365-marketing-2/, in this post we’d see the personalized page content works across the pages in the site.

Suppose we have the following embedded marketing form, submitted by the user with Remember Me checked (required for Personalized Page as well as Prefill to work)

Next time when the user visits the page, using the Personalized Page’s Script, we can have this value fetched from the cookie as shown below.

Here we can use the same personalized page script on other pages in the same authenticated domain/website to retrieve the values from the cookie.

For that, we just need to have the website’s div tag to be placed on that page, as shown below. We can get from that from the website record created and it will track the visit as well.

https://nishantrana.me/2022/11/23/how-to-use-dynamics-365-marketing-javascript-api-to-set-hidden-fields-value/

below are a few more points that could help –

To hide the Marketing form on the host page – we can use afterFormRender

To submit the Marketing form on the host page –

If we are setting a non-existing value for an option set field in the formSubmit event, it will be treated as blank before submission and the blank value will be passed. However if the field is Required then validation will kick in and the form will not get submitted.

How to – use Dynamics 365 Marketing JavaScript API to set hidden field’s value

Dynamics Marketing JavaScript API is only available for the marketing form hosted as Script. It is not available for forms hosted as Iframe.

More on embedding form on external page – https://nishantrana.me/2022/11/10/how-to-embed-marketing-form-on-an-external-page/

Add a reference to form-loader.js or load.js to access the API.

Below is our form with a hidden field in it.

Based on the current living situation (drop down), we want to set the value of the Financially Capable field (bool) – the hidden field’s value as either True or False.

For this, we have added the below script, in the formSubmit event.

formSubmit triggers on form submit before the form submission is sent to the server.

Check all the events here – https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/marketing/developer/marketing-form-client-side-extensibility#form-events

The script – Get the id of the element through browser’s developer tools.
