Hi,

I am trying to retrieve segment members from advanced find but my segments are not showing. When I look at the fetch xml, query looks like below. But, segments are stored in msdynmkt_virtualsegmentid and fetch xml points to msdyncrm_segment

<fetch version="1.0" output-format="xml-platform" mapping="logical" distinct="false">
<entity name="contact">
<attribute name="fullname"/>
<attribute name="telephone1"/>
<attribute name="contactid"/>
<order attribute="fullname" descending="false"/>
<link-entity name="msdyncrm_segment" from="msdyncrm_segmentid" to="msdyncrm_segmentmemberid" link-type="inner" alias="ac">
<filter type="and">
<condition attribute="msdyncrm_segmentid" operator="eq"/>
</filter>
</link-entity>
</entity>
</fetch>
 
 
Is there a way to retrieve segment members in fetch xml or c#?

Use Outbound segments if you need static membership lists and fetch support.

For testing, use the "Check segment members" option within the segment designer in Real-time Marketing UI.

If needed programmatically, build a custom logic in C# to evaluate the segment criteria manually on Contact data.

Note: You cannot retrieve Real-time Marketing segment members via FetchXML or C# directly because they are virtual. Consider using Outbound segments or custom evaluation logic based on segment rules.

Hi Muhammad,

Thanks for the reply. We have a requirement to get segment from journey and get segment members and send response to extrename system. As per docmentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-insights/journeys/real-time-marketing-api-segment we can use POST: <Organizaiton URL>/api/data/v9.0/msdynmkt_MembersList. But it seems not stightforward.

Microsoft API (Preview): msdynmkt_MembersList

Endpoint:

POST /api/data/v9.0/msdynmkt_MembersList

Usage:
You can pass a segment definition and get members via backend evaluation. This API only works for real-time marketing segments, and requires:

segmentdefinitionid (from msdynmkt_segmentdefinition)

A refreshmembers flag

Example:
POST https://<org>.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.0/msdynmkt_MembersList { "msdynmkt_segmentdefinitionid": "<GUID>", "msdynmkt_refreshmembers": true }

This triggers evaluation of the segment and returns a GUID to a generated list of members. However, this is not instant — you may have to poll for the result.
