Multipart request using custom action?

ryan-avent — Fri, 20 Oct 2023 13:43:34 GMT

Im looking at the Dynamics CRM connector and I have hit a situation where I need to specify a multipart request (inorder to use there batch api) however the standard connector does not seem to support this action. i do see that custom action is supported however this body is always Json...

Do I need to make my own connector to handle this action or is there something I'm just overlooking e.g. a way do define a multipart request as Json.

example Microsoft batch

POST [Organization Uri]/api/data/v9.2/$batch HTTP/1.1 OData-MaxVersion: 4.0 OData-Version: 4.0 If-None-Match: null Accept: application/json Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="batch_80dd1615-2a10-428a-bb6f-0e559792721f" --batch_80dd1615-2a10-428a-bb6f-0e559792721f Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary POST /api/data/v9.2/tasks HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json; type=entry { "subject": "Task 1 in batch", "regardingobjectid_account_task@odata.bind": "accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001)" } --batch_80dd1615-2a10-428a-bb6f-0e559792721f Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary POST /api/data/v9.2/tasks HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json; type=entry { "subject": "Task 2 in batch", "regardingobjectid_account_task@odata.bind": "accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001)" } --batch_80dd1615-2a10-428a-bb6f-0e559792721f Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary POST /api/data/v9.2/tasks HTTP/1.1 Content-Type: application/json; type=entry { "subject": "Task 3 in batch", "regardingobjectid_account_task@odata.bind": "accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001)" } --batch_80dd1615-2a10-428a-bb6f-0e559792721f Content-Type: application/http Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary GET /api/data/v9.2/accounts(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001)/Account_Tasks?$select=subject HTTP/1.1 --batch_80dd1615-2a10-428a-bb6f-0e559792721f--

A custom connector would definitely get the job done... but would it work to use multiple custom actions in a row? Or perhaps the Ruby/Python connector (I haven't used those much).

Hi @ryan-avent ,

On the custom action in Microsoft Dynamics, have you tried using a Raw response and adding the Content-Type on the Request Header? I can't see any similar use case, but I have tried this using a multipart form for GDrive, and it worked.

If it doesn't work; you can try using HTTP or SDK connector.
