Sync Sitecore Item into Dynamics CRM Custom Entity

Question

I am trying to sync from Dynamics CRM into Sitecore/Xdb in both ways using Dynamics CRM 2.0.1

I can do next sync:

1. Dynamics CRM to xDb
2. xDb to Dynamics CRM Contacts
3. Dynamics CRM entity to Sitecore items.

I have to sync Sitecore items into Dynamics CRM Entity.

I created next pipeline steps :

When I sync I receive next message :

What am I missing, entities are not created into Dynamics CRM ?

Answer 1

You missed 2 pipeline steps.

• Create Entity Queue - before add an entity to a queue you need to create queue.
• Submit Remaining Entities From Queue - checks if there are some entities in the queue after iterating and submit all of them.
• Add Entity to Queue Pipeline Step - adds entity to the queue but also can submit entities if its count in the queue equivalent batch size.
