Get GUID of selected Record

Posted on by JhonnyWalker

I tried now for several hours to achieve the following, but without success, and hope someone can help me out:

I have created a power app, which has two galleries of accounts listed. In each gallery, one account can be selected.
If two accounts are selected, one in each gallery, I want to pass their GUID of the records to a Power automate, to execute a MERGE action. Everything would work, if i somehow could find the GUIDs.

The Dataverse tables do not contain the GUID (I have not found out, how to make it visible / accessible). The only way to find the GUID so far was by selecting the record in the CRM system and copy it from the URL.

Why are they not easily accessible ? Why having Actions that handle specifically GUIDs but there is no easy way to retrieve the GUID of a record? Is there a way to pass the GUID to the Power automate, or is it at least possible to find it within the power automate?

I really hope that someone can help me out here.

The GUID for a Dataverse record is available by referencing the unique identifer column through dot notation, e.g. if you are referencing the standard Account table the GUID can be referenced using something like:

ThisItem.Account

Try that expression in a label in your gallery and you should see GUIDs appear

Hope that helps,
