I have a Logic App that retrieves the responses submitted by the users through Microsoft Forms.
When I see the Logic App Run, I can see the descriptor for each field (MuleSoft, IoT & Integration, Encuesta de tecnologías, ...), for example:
But in the "Show raw outputs" I can't see those fields, I get an identifier (rcb6ccf0fc9e44f74b44fa2715fec4f27, ...):
How I can retrieve those descriptors??
The solution is to add a 'Send an HTTP request to SharePoint' action to get the details of the form.
The Site Address is: https://forms.office.com
The Method is: GET
The Uri is: /formapi/api/forms('')?select=id,title,questions&$expand=questions($expand=choices)
This returns a JSON with all the questions and for each question the ID, Title and more info about the question.
We can implement a loop through these questions and with each ID, extract the response from the Microsoft Forms:
foreach": "#body('Send_an_HTTP_request_to_SharePoint')['questions']"
And Compose the result:
"Compose": {
"inputs": {
"Id": "#{items('For_each')['id']}",
"Name": "#items('For_each')['title']",
"Value": "#{body('Get_response_details')[item()['id']]}"
},
"runAfter": {},
"type": "Compose"
}
These are field identifiers. You can retrieve them directly from the Dynamic content of Get response details.
Alternatively, you can build your own JSON body(in your case Get response details) from Compose connector.

I need some help. I need to create a case in a Account with all the details basically, all the fields, using REST API but it I am not able to figure out, how to insert a record for creating a case.
Could you please guide me, how to create a case using REST API in Salesforce?
Do you use a library such as https://pypi.org/project/simple-salesforce/0.3/ or do you need to craft the REST messages manually?
You'd need to do it in 2 calls, login first (unless you have session id already) and then
POST to
https://yourinstance.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v48.0/sobjects/Case
with header
Authorization Bearer <session id goes here, sometimes called "access token" too>
and body
{
"Subject": "Hello world",
"Description": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...",
"Origin":"Web",
"AccountId" :"0010g00001mbqU4"
}
should work like a charm (pass an account id value right for your org and you might have more fields to fill in).
So now "only" how to log in. That's a bigger topic and depends if it's a backend thing or you'll have a human interacting with it, maybe logging in to SF and then coming back to your org. There's bit of reading on that (simpler if you'd use SOAP API to log in)
For example this would work if I didn't redact all sensitive stuff
POST to
https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
with header
Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded
and body
grant_type=password
&client_id=(ask your admin for "connected app")
&client_secret=(ask your admin for "connected app")
&username=redacted%40example.com
&password=redacted
Should return
{
"access_token": "<session id here, use it as Authorization header in next calls>",
"instance_url": "<use this as base url of all next calls>",
"id": "<call GET to this (with the Auth header) to learn more about user",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"issued_at": "1593684589157",
"signature": "redacted"
}
Again - don't do it all by hand if you can, use one of Python libraries for Salesforce.
from simple_salesforce import Salesforce
sf = Salesforce(
username='user name of salesforce account',
password='password',
security_token='token')
Sample data
data ={
"Name" : "ABCD",
"Contact" : "123456789",
"Description":"Radio has damaged because of handling."
}
create record
x = sf.Account.create(data)
I want to update the birthday of a user using the patch request.
Updating other properties works as expected but the moment the birthday property is included, the following error returned:
The request is currently not supported on the targeted entity set
I already tried to update the user to be sure the permissions are fine.
Application permissions are used.
This PATCH request to /V1.0/users/{id} works:
{
"givenName": "Fridas"
}
Passing this request body however:
{
"givenName":"Fridas",
"birthday" : "2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
}
throws an error
{
"error":
{
"code":"BadRequest",
"message":"The request is currently not supported on the targeted entity set",
"innerError":
{
"request-id":"5f0d36d1-0bff-437b-9dc8-5579a7ec6e72",
"date":"2019-08-13T15:27:40"
}
}
}
When I update the birthday separately, I get a 500 error. Print screens below. Updating the user id works fine, birthday does not.
Same user id is used in the request.
I'm not sure why this happens, but a workaround, albeit an annoying one, is to update birthday separately from other attributes.
E.g.
PATCH https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/userid
{
"birthday" : "2014-01-01T00:00:00Z"
}
Here is a screenshot from MS Graph Explorer:
In fact, this is a limitation in the current system.
User is a composite type. Under the covers some properties in user are mastered by different services, and we currently don't support updates across multiple services.
"birthday" is not mastered by Azure AD. So we can't update it with other properties mastered by Azure AD in the same call.
It is strongly recommended that you update this property separately. I can update it from my side. So you need a backend engineer to track this request for you.
This seems to affect more than Birthday.
Skills[] and Responsibilities[] are also returning 500 Internal Server Error when using PATCH request via REST API with:
{"skills": ["TESTING", "ANOTHER SKILL"]}
Same happens via the GraphServiceClient - except the result is:
Failed to call the Web Api: InternalServerError
Content: {
"error": {"code": "-1, Microsoft.Office.Server.Directory.DirectoryObjectUnauthorizedAccessException",
"message": "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.",
"innerError": {
"request-id": "1c2ccc54-0a0c-468f-a18c-6bdfbad4077d",
"date": "2019-08-28T13:23:55"
}}}
These requests work on the Graph Explorer page, but not via calls to the API.
With GMail API, it is possible to insert a message to inbox with https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/messages/insert
The problem I face is when using insert, messages do not appear in INBOX and user has to go to 'All Mail' in order to see them.
What is the best way to insert messages into INBOX? Import?
You can set the request body based from the documentation:
Request Body: {
"raw": "string" // required property
"labelIds": "["INBOX"]" // add this optional property
"threadId": "string"
}
Here's the complete list for Type of Message labels.
I have seen that it is possible to add a JSON schema when you are using the "HTTP Request"-trigger and adding the JSON schema in the "Request Body JSON Schema"-box.
I have also looked at adding schema in the "Integration Account", however the section in the documentation says its "to confirm that XML documents you receive are valid", which is not what i am looking for.
I am using a Azure Service Bus Queue.
In this case i am having PeekLock as a trigger, the idea is that the input in the service bus will be of a certain format. It will all be in JSON. I dont "care" or need to know what happens before the service bus, all i know is that each message will contain the same format. What my logic app is supposed to do is to receive the message in the service bus and then mail it to whoever its supposed to go to, and add if there is anything to add from blob storage. I want to be able to access certain "tags" or "parameters", since Service Bus only have its own few tags.
I used the jsonschema.net to get the schema, and here is the JSON of how a format will look like:
{
"items": [
{
"Key": "XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXX",
"type": "Email",
"data": {
"subject": "Who is the father?",
"bodyBlobUID": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
"to": [
"darth.vader#hotmail.com"
],
"cc": [
"luke.skywalker#nomail.com"
],
"bcc": [
"leia.skywalker#nomail.com"
],
"encoding": "System.Text.UTF8Encoding",
"isBodyHtml": false,
"organisationUID": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
"BlobUIDs": [
"luke.skywalker#nomail.com"
]
}
}
]
}
So my questions are of 2 parts:
1: Is it possible to add JSON schemas without using the HTTP Request
trigger for using service bus?
2: If #1 is possible, or maybe it can
be done in another way. How do i access the tags or parameters of the
JSON format? At this moment i am trying to do transformations using
schemas and maps with the Integration account but it seems
unnecessary.
UPDATE: Parse JSON is now available in Logic Apps.
we will be releasing an action called JSON Parse next week, in which you can specify the service bus output as payload, define schema of the payload, then custom friendly tokens in subsequent steps.
Currently I am using ng-admin to build an admin panel for my webapp.
http://ng-admin-book.marmelab.com/doc/API-mapping.html
This link talks about API mapping and the JSON response expected when ng-admin uses a GET request to get data.
The JSON response format is as follows:
{
"id": 12,
"name": "War and Peace",
"author_id": 345,
"publication_date": "2014-01-01T00:00:00Z",
}
for a book entity defined by name, author_id and publication date.
My REST API returns exactly the same except "_id" instead of "id".
I think this is the reason I can't retrieve data from my API. How can I solve this issue?
Use the entity identifier() method, as explained in the doc (http://ng-admin-book.marmelab.com/doc/API-mapping.html):
var post = nga.entity('posts')
.identifier(nga.field('_id'));
