Following on from a previous post “Mapping Dynamics 365 Marketing Form Submissions to Custom Tables with Power Automate“ I covered how to handle lookups with Marketing Form Submissions when updating Dataverse records. But you also need to be able to get the human readable version without the record update.

This post shows you how to make the lookup human readable, so we can use it in other lovely automations where humans read stuff. We will turn things like this {"Id":"b580cd20-8e2a-ee11-bdf4-0022482578b5","LogicalName":"amey_country"} into to the actual label ‘Australia’. I’m going to assume you have got to the point of switching based on the ‘Marketing Form Field Type’ (this blog post) and you need to digest the lookup value from GUID into Text.

Get Dataverse Row using Dynamic Inputs

Using the outputs from the steps above we are able to get the correct dataverse row which has the human readable name.

Get the Name of the Row

And finally - the name of the row that the human can read - hurah!

Append the result to your marketing form submission summary

Finally you can append the form field response to a variable which may hold a text summary of the form submission or maybe a JSON summary too.

Now what?

This blog post is intended as a stepping stone to be used as part of something else I have in the works (hint: exporting marketing form submissions to excel), but also super useful to extend your custom field mappings flow to create marketing form submission summaries too.

PS. sorry for ping ponging you to lots of different blog posts, I’m trying not to make these posts too long/boring!
