Record created or updated?

[ezequiel]

Hi, I'm using the connector "When a record is created or updated" with Dynamics 365. Is it possible to know if the record was actually updated or created? I need to do different actions whether it is a new record or the exsiting record was updated

Thanks.

Hi @ezequiel 

You can check the Created and Modified dates

If they are the same then record was created else modified

Hi,

I create a simple workflow to test CRM and CDS Sync with Flow

First, When a record is created or updated trigger,

checking if createdOn is equal to ModifiedOn and then finally 

created and updated CDS Contact record accordingly.

I was simultaneously checking it in Excel by refreshing the rows and I observe when contact is created it generated different Guid which does not exists in Dynamic CRM, so the next immediate update create another fresh record as it didn't find Record identifier in CDS and if we keep updating further it pass the correct contact Id.

So, in this case we might end up with two same contact in CDS for single contact in Dynamic CRM.

Second, I create two separate Flow for create and update and got similar results.

Is CRM generating temp Contact Id on create and passing in Flow.

How can we solve this issue?

I observed much more and now I can state that, we do not get Contact Id on the Create Trigger of Dynamic CRM, then what is the way to create a contact Synchronization into CDS entity,
