Using Microsoft Dataflow I have created a flow to integrate data from a SQL table that creates records in CRM. I am needing to have the records in CRM be updated and not new records created. Can I have records updated using Microsoft Dataflow instead of creating a new record?
Please verify my answer to close this thread.
Yes, thanks that did work.
Any news ?
Hi,
First you need to create an alternate key in the CRM.
Then, map your source key field to the newly created alternate key.
Please check this excellent blog, you will all the details:
