Power Automate: Create and attach Dataverse note or activity with an entity record through MS flow

Image
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. Cheers, Rocker

Last month Microsoft changed the name of Common Data Service to  Microsoft Dataverse or Dataverse. There are the following changes in terms that we used to call in CDS: CDS Term Dataverse Term Entity Table Attribute/Field Column Optionset /Multiple Optionset Choice Two Option Yes/No Record Row But there is no change in API or web service, CreateEntityRequest is still called as CreateEntityRequest. Have a look at Power App to see the changes: But these changes are not reflected in Dynamics365 Solution. We can find the old term there i.e. "entity and option set" but the same solution in the power app reflects the new term i.e. Table, Choice etc. Solution in Dynamics 365  Solution in PowerApp CDS connector in Power App still has the name "Common Data Service", It may or may not change in the future.
