Dataverse Lookup Columns in Power Automate

We have been working with PowerApps, Power Automate and Dataverse and now I thought of sharing a few tips to ease your work if you are new to Power Automate + Dataverse as a combination.

I will be sharing a few more tips in my upcoming blogs but to get started, Let’s take Lookup Columns this time.

Unlike SharePoint or any other data source, Dataverse Lookup columns are different so basically, I cannot go to my Power Automate and directly update a lookup field with just the ID. You will keep on getting error and flow will keep on failing.

So, this is how you can update lookup columns.

We need to provide Dataverse table name and GUID in parentheses.

This will handle lookup. In you add new item/update action we put the source table name with GUID of lookup.

So what can be done next? After some amount of googling I came to know that we can create BDC solution using WCF services also. So I created a WCF service solution that acted as a wrapper that used to fetch data from the portal. We can them publish that service to IIS or Server and use the servic...
