Hi All,
I'm working on a request for a customer to have a new lead created in D365 when a client calls in to their contact center. They want the lead populated with the client's phone number, as well as the campaign and campaign activity associated to the toll-free number (done via a custom entity they created).
I'm able to make HTTP requests to the Web API and pull down all the data I need, but when I go to make the POST request to create the lead I'm getting an HTTP 400 error. Something is off with the @odata.bind I'm using to associate the new lead with the campaign activity, and I'm not sure how to resolve it.
Testing in Postman, I'm sending a POST request to the below URL
customer.crm.dynamics.com/.../leads
Along with the following JSON payload
{"telephone1":"(555) 555-2900","campaignid@odata.bind":"/campaigns(ecba2265-b477-e311-96a4-005056ba0cf6)","_sh_campaignactivity_value@odata.bind":"/campaignactivities(3dc7437d-8f4a-ed11-bba1-00224828933c)"}
I get the following HTTP 400 error in response:
{
"error": {
"code": "0x0",
"message": "Error identified in Payload provided by the user for Entity :'leads', For more information on this error please follow this help link go.microsoft.com/.../ ----> InnerException : Microsoft.OData.ODataException: A property '_sh_campaignactivity_value' which only has property annotations in the payload but no property value is declared to be of type 'Edm.Guid'.

}
}
I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that the property I'm trying to associate is _sh_campaignactivity_value on one end, and activityid on the other, but I can't find any other properties to use to accomplish this. Can someone help point me in the right direction? This is holding up a project to migrate this contact center to a cloud-based platform.
Let me know if any additional info is needed. Thanks in advance.
