Hello All,

In CRM, want to create plugin with below business logic:

 Custom Entity(Seller Profile) having lookup Product and category that value need to send via email to user.

So whenever plugin trigger on create not able to get product and category value in email body.

    Do you register a post image under the post create step (using the plugins registration tool)?

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg309673.aspx

    You need to access the post image to get the field values.

    var postimage = context.PostImage["XXX"];

    var fieldvalue = postimage.getAttributeValue<EntityReference>("LOOKUPFIELD");

    It should be working without the postimage as well (it's post-create.. whatever shows up in the postimage should also show up in the target). Maybe you could post your plugin code here?

    I think you can use out of box workflow to send email with product and category in the body.

    Hi Tin,

    Please try using the code below.

    var lookupName=Entityobject.GetAttributeValue<EntityReference>("lookupFieldname").Name;

                                                                             OR

    var lookup = (Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.EntityReference)(entity.Attributes["lookupFieldName"]);
var lookupObject = service.Retrieve(lookup.LogicalName, lookup.Id, new ColumnSet(true));
var lookupName = lookupObject["FieldName"].ToString();

    Hope this helps.

    Then you use the target image since it is create message

    Thanks Nithya,

    Ah.. that actually makes sense now..

    stackoverflow.com/.../unable-to-get-name-from-entityreference

    postimage is more or less an extra "retrieve"

    Hi Tin,

    Have you tried the code below?

    var lookupName = ((Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk.EntityReference)(target .Attributes["lookupName"])).Name;
