There was a requirement where a note(annotation) will be created once an account is created in Dataverse. I have created a Microsoft flow to achieve this functionality. Below is the screenshot of the flow: It was not a difficult flow but I was getting below error in last step i.e, "Create a note and attach PDF" Resource not found for the segment. The reason for this error was assigning "Account id" in regarding: To resolve the above error, I have set "accounts(Account)" in regarding and it worked. You can also use "/accounts(Account)". Conclusion : Whenever you are creating a #Dataverse note or activity through #MSflow then use "entityname(entityid)" or "/entityname(entityid)" in regarding and don't forget to add suffix "S" in entityname.

Step 2: Search for "Base64" and put bracket(). Step 3: Click on "Dynamic Content", keep the cursor in between the bracket() and click on "File Content" Step 4: Click ok. Now, the Document Text box has the follo

Suddenly we were getting the below error: An unexpected error occurred from ISV code. (ErrorType = ClientError) Unexpected exception from plug-in (Execute): MyProject.Workflow.Value: System.Exception: Could not load type 'System.Buffers.Text.Utf8Formatter' from assembly 'MyProject.Workflow' because the method 'TryFormatDecimalG' has no implementation (no RVA).  The code was like this: Entity preImageEntity = crmWorkflowContext.WorkflowExecutionContext.PreEntityImages.Contains("PreBusinessEntity") ? crmWorkflowContext.WorkflowExecutionContext.PreEntityImages["PreBusinessEntity"] : null; StringAttrValue.Set(context,  preImageEntity .Attributes[AttributeName.Get(context)]); To resolve this issue, We have to implicitly cast attribute name "To String" as shown below StringAttrValue.Set (context,  preImageEntity  .Attributes[
