Snap Settings
Label | Required. The name for the Snap. Modify this to be more specific, especially if there are more than one of the same Snap in the pipeline. |
---|---|
Object type | Required. The MS Dynamics 365 for Sales object type. You can either enter the name of the object type in this field, or you can select it from the drop-down list displayed when you click the Suggest button. Example: account. Default Value: account |
ID | Required. The GUID of the MS Dynamics 365 for Sales Object. You can either enter the ID in this field, or you can select it from the drop-down list displayed when you click the Suggest button. When processing a Batch of documents, it is required that each document contains the object ID, which varies between objects; for example: accountid, contactid. The GUID from the object ID field in each document will be used to delete that object. |
Batch size | Required. The number of records processed in each request. Batch size range is from 1 to 1000. Default Value: 200 Batch processing results can contain both successful and unsuccessful results. Successful results will be written to the output view. Unsuccessful results, along with intuitive error information will be written to the error view; therefore, it is recommended to activate the error view within the Snap. A single unsuccessful batch processing document will not halt the batch processing, unless there is a configuration problem; in this special case, the Snap would fail with intuitive error information. |
Execute during preview | This check box enables you to execute the Snap during the Save operation so that the output view can produce the preview data. Default value: Not selected |
Note |
---|
For all operations (Create, Upsert, Update, Delete), the default read timeout is 10 mins. |

The following pipeline demonstrates a basic use case of the Dynamics 365 for Sales Delete Snap, where the Snap logs in and deletes an object: Select the object type of the object you want to delete, and then the Object ID of the object. Save your changes and exit. Add a CSV Formatter and File Writer Snap, so you can save the output of the Delete Snap. Execute the pipeline. For a successful run, the File Writer Snap should create a CSV document containing a confirmation of the deletion: |

You can also use the Dynamics 365 for Sales Snap with pipeline parameters. This enables you to declare variables at the pipeline level and calling them from within the Delete Snap. This example shows how you can do so. We start off by specifying the object ID of the MS Dynamics 365 for Sales object that you want to delete. In the previous example, we had specified this detail in the Delete Snap itself. However, you can also use pipeline parameters to provide this information. This enables you to use the same pipeline to delete different objects by changing only the value of the object ID variable at the pipeline level. You use the variable 'id' to refer to the account id that you want to delete: Once you have captured this information at the pipeline level, you are ready to configure the Delete Snap to use this information to delete objects in the target DB. You configure the Delete Snap as follows: You specify the Object type and then, in the ID field, you enter the pipeline parameter variable value, with an '_' preceding it. Click the = button to signify that you are using variables using either the pipeline parameters or other functions and variables available to you within the application. Save your changes, exit the Snap Settings popup, and run the pipeline. If the pipeline executes successfully, you should see a message indicating that the object was deleted successfully, as shown above. |
Using the Dynamics 365 for Sales Delete Snap with Upstream Snaps

The Dynamics 365 for Sales Snap can also be used with upstream Snaps. In this example, we shall use a Mapper Snap to supply the Delete Snap with the object ID of the object that must be deleted. We configure the Mapper Snap to label and supply the object ID that must be deleted, as $id: We then append the Delete Snap to the Mapper and configure it to receive the value in $id as input: The Delete Snap receives the object ID reference from the Mapper Snap and deletes the object associated with the specified object ID. In this pipeline, we have saved the confirmation output in a CSV file: |
