Lookup user with API in Dataverse (Form)

Posted on 1 Feb 2022 16:05:47 by 5

I have a form containing contact details in Dataverse. I want to be able to automatically fill out contact details (First name, family name, address etc.) when email is filled out and the user already exists in another system.

 

I can do this in PowerApps by creating a custom connector which calls my API (Azure Function) and have it trigger when the email fields is changed, however I can't figure out how to accomplish this in Dataverse.

 

Is it possible? What is the simplest way to achieve this?

    Thanks a lot for the quick reply, however I am a little unsure if you are explaining one way of doing it or three ways of doing it 🙂

     

    If it is truly 3 steps you mean, then am I to call the plugin from JavaScript?

    Hello @ 

     

    Hope you are doing good. Please find some of the ways to achieve the same

     

    Step 1 : As you have already created Custom API, trigger the Message on Create/Update of Email field and populate the same. 

    Step 2 : Create a Plugin and make a service call and populate it.

    Step 3:  Use JavaScript to get the values and Populate it.

     

    It depends based on our requirement.
