  • The Snap fails with an error , when the number of requests exceeds 6000 within 300 seconds. We recommend that you limit the number of requests you make within 300 seconds (5 minutes). You can gradually increase the requests that reduce the retry-after duration, optimize your throughput, and minimize resource spikes on the server.

  • The Snap fails with an error , when the combined execution time of incoming requests exceeds the limit of 1,200,000 milliseconds within the window of 300 seconds. We recommend that you reduce the number of concurrent requests or reduce the duration of requests and try later.

  • The Snap fails with an error , when the number of concurrent requests exceeds the limit of 52. We recommend that you reduce the number of concurrent requests.

Field Name

Field Type

Description

Label*

Default Value: MS Dynamics 365 for Sales Delete
Example: MS Dynamics 365 for Sales Delete

String

Specify the name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your Pipeline.

Object Type*

Default Value: account
Example: account

String/Expression

Specify the MS Microsoft 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.

ID*

Default Value: N/A
Example: 5D5F5B6A-CE6D-EA11-A812-000D3A86D7B6

String/Expression

Specify the GUID of the MS Microsoft 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

Default Value: 200
Example: 100

Integer/Expression

Specify the number of records processed in each request. Batch size range is from 1 to 1000.

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.

Number of Retries

Default Value: 0
Example: 1

Integer

Specify the maximum number of attempts to be made to receive a response. The request is terminated if the attempts do not result in a response. 

Retry Intervals (seconds)

Default Value: 1
Example: 5

Integer

Specify the time interval between two successive retry requests. A retry happens only when the previous attempt resulted in an exception. 

When the Snap encounters 429 error, the response includes the retry-after with <number of seconds> in the header and the Snap automatically retriesafter the specified <number of seconds>.

HTTP Header

Use this fieldset to add additional HTTP headers to pass when sending requests to the Dynamics 365 for Sales instance. For instance,

titleUsing the Dynamics 365 for Sales Delete Snap to Delete an Object

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:
