Examples

The sample code demonstrates how to create a sample contact record.

var entityLogicalName = "contact";
var data = {
    "firstname": "Sample",
    "lastname": "Contact",
    "fullname": "Sample Contact",
    "emailaddress1": "contact@contoso.com",
    "jobtitle": "Sr. Marketing Manager",
    "telephone1": "555-0109",
    "description": "Default values for this record were set programmatically."
}
// create contact record
var jsonData = JSON.stringify(data);
Microsoft.CIFramework.createRecord(entityLogicalName,jsonData).then(
    function success (result) {
      res=JSON.parse(result);
          console.log("Contact created with ID: " + res.id);
          //perform operations on record creation
      },
      function (error) {
          console.log(error);
          //handle error conditions
      }
  ); 

The following example shows how you can pass a lookup value instead of plain text in the variable data.

var data =
    {
        "name": "Sample Account",
        "primarycontactid@odata.bind": "/contacts(3518ddae-2f46-e911-8190-000d3a6ce16d)"
    }
var jsonData = JSON.stringify(data);
Microsoft.CIFramework.createRecord("account",jsonData).then(
    function success (result) {
      res=JSON.parse(result);
          console.log("Contact created with ID: " + res.id);
          //perform operations on record creation
      },
      function (error) {
          console.log(error);
          //handle error conditions
      }
);
