When does Dynamics 365 fire on new records?

Short answer: In TinyCommand, add the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Dynamics Record Created trigger to a workflow and publish. It listens through a Microsoft Dynamics 365 webhook and fires your workflow within seconds of the event, with no polling and no code. Add a filter if you only want some events to start a run.

FAQ

Questions about Dynamics Record Created.

How does the Dynamics Record Created trigger work in Microsoft Dynamics 365?
Fires when a new record of any entity is created. Configure to specific entities (Account, Contact, Opportunity, Case) for filtered subscriptions.
Is the Dynamics Record Created trigger real-time?
Yes. Dynamics Record Created uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
What data does Dynamics Record Created return?
The full event payload from Microsoft Dynamics 365. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter Dynamics Record Created so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Microsoft Dynamics 365 admin permissions to use Dynamics Record Created?
For most Microsoft Dynamics 365 accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Microsoft Dynamics 365 plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Microsoft Dynamics 365's docs if the trigger fails to register.
