There is no flow action right now for declaring or undeclaring a record. There is a request for such an action, that you can vote on here.

@arjunmusuvathy

There is no "out of the box" action that allows you to declare/undeclare a record. However, I believe that you can accomplish your gola by using the Send an HTTP request to SharePoint action.

Thanks for the reply guys. I forgot to mention that I was referring to deactivating/reactivating Dynamics 365 CRM records. I have re-edited my post.

Hi Vikram,

You can use Invoke an HTTP request using Azure AD in following way :

For Activating record body : {"statuscode":1,"statecode":0}
For Deactivating record body : {"statuscode":2,"statecode":1}
Url of Request : /api/data/v9.1/entitypluralname(guid)

Thanks

Hi Vikram87, how are you?

You also can add an update action to do this changes, even change the status to active to update.

I did a test using this action, changing the account name.

Hi @prashantik ,

As @rohentz suggested to use Update a record you can with that or use what I have suggested via HTTP request using Azure AD connector.

Thanks
