Create a 'Campaignresponse' via Web API

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi folks, 

I am quite desperate right now. I am trying to create a campaignresponse and can't make any progress for the last two days. 
I have a campaign and I have a contact.

I am committing the following JSON via POST to /campaignresponses 

{
    "regardingobjectid_campaign@odata.bind":"\/campaigns(c2745f4a-37ac-e811-a2d2-0050569b24fe)",
    "campaignresponse_activity_parties":[
        {
            "partyid_contact@odata.bind":"\/contacts(74a12eb5-96ab-e811-a2d2-0050569b24fe)",
            "participationtypemask":11
        }
    ]
}

What I get in Return is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Any help is appreciated very much. 

best regards, 
Thomas

    there was a custom-check in the crm when inserting a new entry. 

    this entry had an error and this caused the error message.

    Hi,

    Rest builder is the managed solution which you will import in your crm and it will be visible on browser once installed. You can use teh below links (sorry it was broken) -

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the tip. The Rest Builder has to run on the machine with the CRM right? Unfortunately I do not have access to said machine.

    Hi,

    Please use CRM Rest Builder to build the WEB API request. This is the easiest way to build the query as well as execute it and see the results.

    You can download the tool here- github.com/.../releases

    Hope this helps.

    Looks like you are using both forward & backward slash. Check that. You can use CRM Rest builder to avoid such issues.

    Thanks for your fast answer.

    We have got the following:

    "regardingobjectid_campaign@odata.bind":"\/campaigns(c2745f4a-37ac-e811-a2d2-0050569b24fe)",

    The ID is a valid one.

    Do you have an example what the JSON should look like?
