WFFM Dynamics CRM Campaign Itegration - Chaining save actions

Question

We're currently trying the integrate the WFFM Save Actions provided in the Dynamics CRM Campaign Integration (2.2) to create a contact, then create an CRM Entity and assign it to the contact. The module appears to provide this option, allowing us to select "Previous Save Action" as the "Use value from" and then selecting the previous save action.

However even though the create contact action executes successfully, the create entity step fails with

64724 10:28:56 WARN  [WFFM] 'Sitecore.CrmCampaignIntegration.Submit.CreateCrmEntity' does not contain a definition for 'Context'
Exception: Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException

This issue doesn't occur when I use "CRM" as the field source and select an existing contact. So it seems like the pass through of the previous action doesn't happen, i.e. the Form Context doesn't exist.

Any thoughts on how to solve this one or work around it?

Answer 1

It looks like there is an issue with the CreateCrmEntity save action. I logged a ticket with Sitecore Support but in the meantime I was able to resolve the issue by adding the Context property to the save action as follows:

public class CreateCrmEntity : Sitecore.CrmCampaignIntegration.Submit.CreateCrmEntity
{
    public ActionCallContext Context { get; set; }

    public override void Execute(ID formId, AdaptedResultList adaptedFields, ActionCallContext actionCallContext = null,
        params object[] data)
    {
        Context = actionCallContext;
        base.Execute(formId, adaptedFields, actionCallContext);
    }
}

You can then update the Assembly and Class fields in the Save Action definition here: /sitecore/system/Modules/Web Forms for Marketers/Settings/Actions/Save Actions/Create CRM Entity
