Dialog - Query CRM Data does not get User record for Create Email RRS feed

  • Question

  • I have a dialog with a Create Email step.  In that step, I would like to set the 'From' field to be from a specific User record so BEFORE the Create Email step, I am successfully doing a Query CRM Data step in order to get that exact User record.  When I go into the Create Email step and click in the 'From' field, I go to my Process steps and select the query step in order to set the 'From' field to that exact User record.  The problem is--there is nothing available that I can map:

    Am I missing something?  If my Query CRM Data record is successful, why can't I set the From field to be from that User?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  • Hi, since the Query can retrieve multiple results (even though your filter may only ever give you one) you will need to display the result(s) in a prompt and response of type multiple-options, and have the user pick the record to use. Since you will only have 1 result, they won't even need to select anything as it will default to the first item in the collection.

    Once you have the prompt/response you can use the response in your from lookup.

    If you have a page before the send email step, you could just tack it onto the bottom of that page.

    Edit: It would be a cool feature though if you could have like a First or Default option for directly setting a lookup from the query results.

    Hope that helps
