This component gives you the ability to query and modify records within the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform.

Connections

OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code

Authenticate requests using OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code.

The OAuth 2.0 auth code flow allows your user grant permission to your integration to interact with Dynamics on their behalf.

  1. Log in to Azure Portal
  2. Select App registrations
  3. Click + New registration
    • Supported account types should be Multi-tenant if you intend for customers to authenticate with their own Dynamics instance, or Single-tenant if you intend to authenticate with your own Dynamics instance.
    • Under Redirect URI enter https://oauth2.flowbuilder.eu.lansweeper.com/callback for EU sites or https://oauth2.flowbuilder.us.lansweeper.com/callback for US sites
    • Click Register
  4. Under API permissions click +Add a permission
    • Select Dynamics CRM
    • Check the user_impersonation permission
    • Click Add permissions
    • Additionally, ensure the offline_access scope is included in your app registration. It is essential to maintain your OAuth connection and receive refresh tokens. Without it, users will need to re-authenticate every hour.
  5. Under Certificates & secrets click + New client secret
    • Give your certificate a description and expiration date
    • Take note of the value (not the Secret ID) of the client secret.
  6. Returning to the Overview page, take note of Application (client) ID

Create a connection of type MS Dynamics OAuth 2.0 Auth Code.

  • Enter the Client ID and Secret Value you noted above.
  • Log in to Dynamics and take note of the Dynamics URL.
    • Enter that Dynamics URL as the Web API URL. It should look like https://REPLACE-ME.crm.dynamics.com/
    • Under scopes, enter the following, replacing the URL with your Dynamics URL: https://REPLACE-ME.crm.dynamics.com/user_impersonation offline_access

This connection uses OAuth 2.0, a common authentication mechanism for integrations.
Read about how OAuth 2.0 works here.

Input Comments Default
Web API URL The organization's Microsoft Dynamics 365 Web API URL.
Scopes A space-delimited set of one or more scopes to get the user's permission to access.
Client ID Generated when registering an application in the Azure portal.
Client Secret Generated when registering an application in the Azure portal.

OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials

Authenticate requests using OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials.

The OAuth 2.0 client credentials flow allows your user to create an Application User to send requests to Dynamics on their behalf.
Setting up a client credentials connection is a two-step process:

  1. Create an "App" in Azure
  2. Create an "Application User" in Dynamics

Create an app in Microsoft Azure

  1. Log in to Azure Portal
  2. Select App registrations
  3. Click + New registration
    • Supported account types can be Single tenant
    • No Redirect URI is necessary
    • Click Register
  4. Under API permissions click +Add a permission
    • Select Dynamics CRM
    • Check the user_impersonation permission
    • Click Add permissions
  5. Under API permissions click Grant admin concent for (your org)
  6. Under Certificates & secrets click + New client secret
    • Give your certificate a description and expiration date
    • Take note of the value (not the Secret ID) of the client secret.
  7. Returning to the Overview page, take note of Application (client) ID
  8. From the Overview page, click Endpoints and take note of the OAuth 2.0 token endpoint (v2)

You will use the Secret Value, Client ID and Token Endpoint in a moment.

Add the app as an App User to Dynamics

  1. Log in to Power Platform admin center
  2. Select Environments and choose your Dynamics Environments
  3. Select S2S Apps
  4. Click +New app user
    • Click +Add an app
    • Choose the app you created in Azure portal (above). You can search for your app by entering the client ID you noted.
    • Select your Dynamics tenant as your Business unit
    • Under Security Roles select System Administrator
    • Click Create

Configure the connection

Create a connection of type MS Dynamics OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials.

  • Enter the Token Endpoint you noted as your Token URL.
  • Enter the Client ID and Secret Value you noted above.
  • Log in to Dynamics and take note of the Dynamics URL.
    • Enter that Dynamics URL as the Web API URL. It should look like https://REPLACE-ME.crm.dynamics.com/
    • Under scopes, enter the Dynamics URL with .default appended to it - https://REPLACE-ME.crm.dynamics.com/.default

This connection uses OAuth 2.0, a common authentication mechanism for integrations.
