Configuring Microsoft Dynamics 365 Web API Operations

To use the Microsoft Dynamics 365 connector, add the <msdynamics365.init> element in your configuration before carrying out any other Microsoft Dynamics 365 Web API operations. For every request to the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Web API, you should have:

A Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) system user account with administrator role for the Microsoft Office 365 subscription
A Microsoft Azure subscription for application registration

To get an access token and register a Dynamics 365 app with Azure Active Directory, follow the link https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt622431.aspx.

init

<msdynamics365.init>
    <apiUrl>{$ctx:apiUrl}</apiUrl>
    <accessToken>{$ctx:accessToken}</accessToken>
    <apiVersion>{$ctx:apiVersion}</apiVersion>
    <refreshToken>{$ctx:refreshToken}</refreshToken>
    <clientSecret>{$ctx:clientSecret}</clientSecret>
    <clientId>{$ctx:clientId}</clientId>
    <resource>{$ctx:resource}</resource>
    <registryPath>{$ctx:registryPath}</registryPath>
    <intervalTime>{$ctx:intervalTime}</intervalTime>
</msdynamics365.init>

The elements of the above XML are described below:

<apiUrl>: The API URL of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Web API.
<accessToken>: The value of the access token to access the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Web API via request.
<apiVersion>: The API version of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 (v8.2).

<clientSecret>: The secret key of the application that is registered in the Azure AD.
<clientId>: The client ID of the client application that is registered in Azure AD.
<resource>: The App ID URI of the web API (E.g., "https://kavi859.crm5.dynamics.com/).
<registryPath>: Registry Path of the connector where the values are stored. If not provided, it defaults to "connectors/msDynamics365".
<intervalTime>: The interval time, in milliseconds, to check the accessToken validity. After 60 minutes, the access token becomes invalid. If not provided, the time defaults to 50 minutes.
