Create a Contact associated with a given Account through web api

Posted on by Shirro

Hello,

I'm having troubles trying to create a new contact with a given account. I'm using the web api. I'm sending a HTTP Post request to the web api endpoint with this application/json data in the body :

{"new_originspot":"true","fullname":"New Contact","emailaddress1":"newcontact@skynet.be","new_language":5,"parentcustomerid_account@odata.bind":"6bb07b9b-5f29-e911-a966-000d3ab799ec"}

This request throws me this exception : "Resource not found for the segment '6bb07b9b-5f29-e911-a966-000d3ab799ec'."

It seems like the Account guid isn't existing but it actually does, because when i lookup after it in the CRM i found it by its guid and it's the same one, plus : the guid was retrieved from the crm web api, So i don't really understand this error...

The thing is when i remove the "parentcustomerid_account@odata.bind":"6bb07b9b-5f29-e911-a966-000d3ab799ec" part from the json, the contact is successfully created but he belongs to no Account... How can i create a contact that belongs to a given account ?

Does anyone have any idea how can solve that ?

Thank you !

Hi Shirro,

Can you try:

{"new_originspot":"true","fullname":"New Contact","emailaddress1":"newcontact@skynet.be","new_language":5,"parentcustomerid_account@odata.bind":"/accounts(6bb07b9b-5f29-e911-a966-000d3ab799ec)"}

Also test this from inside the Dynamics:

var entity = {};

entity["parentcustomerid_account@odata.bind"] = "/accounts(feccafc9-8ad5-e911-a812-000d3ab8c2e6)";

entity.firstname = "hi";

entity.lastname = "hihi";

Xrm.WebApi.online.createRecord("contact", entity).then(

function success(result) {

var newEntityId = result.id;

},

function(error) {

Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(error.message);

}

);

Hope it helps.
