Hi,

I'm trying to perform a Merge action using Web API.

I need to merge two contacts and passing as a parameters the fields that are going to be updated.

Is there a way to do that?

Below an example of what I'd like to perform.

"Target": {

"name": "Contact1",

"contactid": "bb8055c0-aea6-ea11-a812-000d3a55d474",

"@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.contact"

},

"Subordinate": {

"name": "Contact2",

"contactid": "c38055c0-aea6-ea11-a812-000d3a55d474",

"@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.contact"

},

"UpdateContent": {

"firstname": Contact2.firstname,

"@odata.type": "Microsoft.Dynamics.CRM.contact"

},

"PerformParentingChecks": false

}

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

Giulio Indennitate

Please can you advise how to use the "UpdateContent" in relation to the unbound action in Power Automate? It seems to expect a string, using the suggestion in the original question does not work.

Hello,

In order to do it, you should retrieve the "Contact2" record's first name and use it in "UpdateContent".
