Resolve a custom entity in a each loop

Hi,

i know this is actually really basic, but it seems somehow i cannot resolve a custom entity in a foreach loop.

I want to get out all the sessions a person is registred with and send it to him, so a rather basic feature. but somehow i allways get a InvalidToken exception.

Here is my code:


{{msevtmgt_session(ce85e211-66bb-ea11-a812-000d3a654ce0).msevtmgt_name}} 
{{#each contact.msevtmgt_sessionregistration_contact_msevtmgt_contactid}}


{{msevtmgt_session(this.msevtmgt_sessionid).msevtmgt_name}}
    {{this.msevtmgt_sessionid}}
{{/each}}

it seems as if resolving a entity does not work with a variable, but only with text.

RE: Resolve a custom entity in a each loop

Hey Shavan,

Actually there is a field in the session registration that should contain the session name, but it seems that microsoft left it blank when making a new session registration.

I can make an workaround in filling it with a custom workflow, but i believe it rather should be done correctly by microsoft.

do you think it would be useful to open a ticket here?

thanks for the workaround answer.

RE: Resolve a custom entity in a each loop

Hey!

Couple of points here:

Passing references into a #each loop is not supported.

You can:

Add the fields from the session you want to be added in the email (like session name) into the session registration record (add new fields and actually put the value in, rather than making them calculated fields)

Loop through all session registrations for the contact and based on the event that email is about, put in the details of the corresponding sessions

{{this.session_name}}

I understand that the process is a bit involved (with the extending the session registration entity and copying some data, but this should get you unblocked.

Thanks,

Shravan

Hi Shailesh,

Yes. for all the Sessions a person registered for.

As we have a strict policy that you only can enter these sessions, and sponsors can nominate people in advance it is important to tell them where they will have access to.

thanks.

Hi Christoph - can you please confirm what is the business scenario here:

Seem like, you are trying to compose an email with list of all events the recipient has registered for?
