Hi
I have a workflow that works as desired. When a Contact entity is updated or changed the workflow runs and I get the desired result. I am trying to determine if I can make it run this workflow run on all contact records on a schedule. I have looked at tools like XrmToolBox but I am trying to make this recurrence happen within Dynamics. I tried importing these tools https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2016/09/19/updated-solution-for-scheduling-recurring-dynamics-crm-workflows/ and https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Executing-Dynamics-CRM-93f3b52a and https://alexanderdevelopment.net/post/2016/09/19/updated-solution-for-scheduling-recurring-dynamics-crm-workflows/ but this tools won't import. The error I get is " The solution is invalid. The compressed file must contain the following files at its root: solution.xml, custom... Customization files exported from previous versions of Microsoft Dynamics 365 are not supported,"
Any insight and ideas I can make this happen.
Thank you,
R
You will need to create a batch job that runs on a scheduled basis, connects to Dynamics 365 and updates the contact records based on the condition.
The batch job can be part of a console app that can be scheduled from a windows service.
You can also use Microsoft flow to call a custom workflow process within dynamics 365 on a scheduled basis.
There are other ways you can do this within Dynamics 365.
