How to create "activityparty" reference using Web Api Preview(OData)?

Posted on by ClixSol 1,505

hi there,

I'm creating new phone call activity record using the Dynamics CRM web API(OData) using System.Net.Http.HttpClient. This code is working fine given below:

#region Create a entity
                    // Create PhoneCall Activity using the early-bound class.
                    PhoneCall call = new PhoneCall();
                    call.subject = "Contoso";
                    call.description = "555-5555";

                    // It is a best practice to refresh the access token before every message request is sent. Doing so
                    // avoids having to check the expiration date/time of the token. This operation is quick.
                    httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", auth.AcquireToken().AccessToken);
                    
                    // Send the request, and then check the response for success.
                    // POST api/data/accounts
                    HttpResponseMessage response =
                        await HttpClientExtensions.SendAsJsonAsync<PhoneCall>(httpClient, HttpMethod.Post, "api/data/phonecalls", call);

                    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
                        Console.WriteLine("PhoneCall Activity '{0}' created.", call.subject);
                    else
                        throw new Exception(String.Format("Failed to create PhoneCall Activity '{0}', reason is '{1}'.",
                                            call.subject, response.ReasonPhrase), new CrmHttpResponseException(response.Content));
                    #endregion Create a entity


Now my question is that, how i can create activityparty reference using the web api preview?

call.to = ?
call.from = ?

your response will be appreciated.
thanks.

    Hi,

    Here is the SDK version of how you would set the From address, you should be able to use the same thing, maybe some small tweaks needed:

    .from = new ActivityParty[] { new ActivityParty { PartyId = new EntityReference("the_entityname", the_entityid) } };

    If this helps, I'd appreciate if you would mark this as the verified answer.

    Thanks,

    Aiden

    In case anyone is still looking for answer to this. 

    var owner = "/systemusers(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)";
var customer = "/accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)";

var activityParties = new Array();
var partyFrom = {"partyid_systemuser@odata.bind" : owner, "participationtypemask" : 1};
var partyTo = {"partyid_account@odata.bind" : customer, "participationtypemask" : 2};
activityParties[0] = partyFrom;
activityParties[1] = partyTo;

var call = {};
call["phonecall_activity_parties"] = activityParties;

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
req.open("POST", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v8.2/phonecalls", true);
req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
req.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (this.readyState === 4) {
        req.onreadystatechange = null;
        if (this.status === 204) {
            Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("Call created successfully!");
        } else {
            Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);
        }
    }
};
req.send(JSON.stringify(call));
