Flow and Dynamics 365 custom entity

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi team

 

I was doing some labs earlier where I created à custom entity in Microsoft Dynamics 365 (crm online 2016 trial). The entity name is vfz_test1 and I checked the "track changes" checkbox.

 

I then opened up Microsoft Flow, create a simple flow to listen to records created in my new custom entity and post a tweet on Twitter. I can see the flow is triggered but fails with a the following error

{

  "status": 502,

  "message": "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.",

  "source": "127.0.0.1"

}

 

 

Could anybody tell me why this is happening and if there are restrictions on using custom entites?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Thanks for your reply. I can't see anything you doing wrong here. Just to make sure your connections to Twitter is working?
