Prepopulate from field with Contact Name based on Mobile Number

Posted on by Sean Kelly 1994 65

Hi guys

So I have seen similar threads but couldn't quite get this right as I think my requirement is slightly different. Basically I have an entity WhatsApp on this entity I have a field "icon_mobile" i am trying to write a script that searches the contact entity for the mobile number which sits in "icon_mobile" by searching the "mobilephone" field in the contact entity, then prepopulates the "from" field on the whatsapp entity. Here is my crack thus far, script is running but using the debugger there seemed to be an issue with my send();

function contactPrePopulation() {
debugger;
var mobile = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("icon_mobile").getValue();
//var mobileNumber = "27" + mobile.substr(1);


if(mobile === null) {
return;
}

var serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();
var oDataSelect = serverUrl + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/contact?&select=contactid&$filter=mobilephone eq guid' " + mobile[0].id + "'";

var retriveReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
retriveReq.open("GET", oDataSelect, false);
retriveReq.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/son");
retriveReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=utf-8");
retriveReq.onreadystatechange = function() {
GetContactData(this);
};
retriveReq.send();
}

function GetContactData(retriveReq) {
if(retriveReq.readyState == 4) {
if(retriveReq.status == 200) {
var retrieved = JSON.parse(retriveReq.responseText).d;
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("from").setValue(retrieved.results[0].mobile);
}
}
alert("Hello!");
}
function contactPrePopulation() {
debugger;
var mobile = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("icon_mobile").getValue();
//var mobileNumber = "27" + mobile.substr(1);


if(mobile === null) {
return;
}

var serverUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();
var oDataSelect = serverUrl + "/XRMServices/2011/OrganizationData.svc/contact?&select=contactid&$filter=mobilephone eq guid' " + mobile[0].id + "'";

var retriveReq = new XMLHttpRequest();
retriveReq.open("GET", oDataSelect, false);
retriveReq.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/son");
retriveReq.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=utf-8");
retriveReq.onreadystatechange = function() {
GetContactData(this);
};
retriveReq.send();
}

function GetContactData(retriveReq) {
if(retriveReq.readyState == 4) {
if(retriveReq.status == 200) {
var retrieved = JSON.parse(retriveReq.responseText).d;
Xrm.Page.getAttribute("from").setValue(retrieved.results[0].mobile);
}
}
alert("Hello!");
}

    RE: Prepopulate from field with Contact Name based on Mobile Number

    The code after the statement req.send() will move to next statement where you are using contacted. By this time, the contacted will not be defined that the code to retrieve will asynchronously.

    refer below sample code generated from the same tool. Notice that the result is an array

    ===========================

    var mobile = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("icon_mobile").getValue();

    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

    req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v8.2/contacts?$filter=mobilephone eq '" + mobile + "'", 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.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "odata.include-annotations=\"*\",odata.maxpagesize=1");

    req.onreadystatechange = function() {

       if (this.readyState === 4) {

           req.onreadystatechange = null;

           if (this.status === 200) {

               var results = JSON.parse(this.response);

               for (var i = 0; i < results.value.length; i++) {

                   var contactid = results.value[i]["contactid"];

                    alert(contactid );

               }

           } else {

               Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);

           }

       }

    };

    req.send();

    ==============

    Hope this helps.

    RE: Prepopulate from field with Contact Name based on Mobile Number

    Hi Ravi,

    Is this not correct?

    var contactid = result["contactid"];

    line 19 - and yes WhatsApp is an activity entity and the from field i am trying to populate is on the whatsapp form and then trying to retrive the contact from the contact entity using the mobile number

    here is updated code

    function contactPrePopulation() {

       debugger;

       var mobile = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("icon_mobile").getValue();

       if(mobile === null) {

           return;

       }

       var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

       req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v8.1/contacts()?$select=contactid&$filter=mobilephone eq '" + mobile + "'", 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.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "odata.include-annotations=\"*\"");

       req.onreadystatechange = function() {

           if (this.readyState === 4) {

               req.onreadystatechange = null;

               if (this.status === 200) {

                   var result = JSON.parse(this.response);

                   var contactid = result["contactid"];

                   setName();

               } else {

                   Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);

               }

       }

       function setName() {

           Xrm.Page.getAttribute("from").setValue(contactid);

       }

       }

       req.send();

       alert("hello", contactid, " and ", mobile);

    };

    RE: Prepopulate from field with Contact Name based on Mobile Number

    Is this your entity WhatsApp is an activity? And this field "From" is the activity from field?

    RE: Prepopulate from field with Contact Name based on Mobile Number

    The error message is self explainatory. Where is contactid variable defined?

    RE: Prepopulate from field with Contact Name based on Mobile Number

    Hi Andrew, thanks for getting in touch. I have made use of the solution thanks very much, so i am now sitting with the below, but it keeps giving me the error "contactid not defined at contactPrepopulation"

    function contactPrePopulation() {

       debugger;

       var mobile = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("icon_mobile").getValue();

       if(mobile === null) {

           return;

       }

       var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

       req.open("GET", Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl() + "/api/data/v8.1/contacts()?$select=contactid&$filter=mobilephone", 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.setRequestHeader("Prefer", "odata.include-annotations=\"*\"");

       req.onreadystatechange = function() {

           if (this.readyState === 4) {

               req.onreadystatechange = null;

               if (this.status === 200) {

                   var result = JSON.parse(this.response);

                   var contactid = result["contactid"];

                   setName();

               } else {

                   Xrm.Utility.alertDialog(this.statusText);

               }

       }

       function setName() {

           Xrm.Page.getAttribute("from").setValue(contactid);

       }

       }

       req.send();

       //Test

       alert("hello", contactid, " and ", mobile);

    };
