Today's blog post will focus on how to export form submissions for Customer Insights - Dynamics 365. When we publish an event in Customer Insights and want to export the registration list for internal use, the data format itself is not user-friendly. Usually, we prefer CSV or any...

The bigger your Contacts/Accounts (Customers) data, the more it also consumes your Dataverse Database Capacity. I had a client who had a database overage problem, and further checking, the CustomerAddress table was on the list. If you open the table, you will find lots of empty...

I'm fairly certain that all of us agree that we are performing mundane code to obtain input parameters when developing custom APIs. For populating the context.PluginExecutionContext.InputParameters, we need to extract each parameter and cast the value to the correct data type,...

In the PowerApps-Samples repo, I found interesting sample code to execute Dataverse messages using WebAPIs call. For those who ask why there is this option, it is because not so many organizations let you install NuGet Packages freely without having risk analysis (the reason can...
