Merge action using Web API: how to dinamically set UpdateContent

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

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

    Hello,

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

    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.
