Making Sense of Pre-image and Post-image in CRM Plugins

What's the Plugin Execution Pipeline Again?

Just a quick reminder: it's the powerhouse behind Dynamics 365 customization. Now, let's add a twist - the operations and images that spice up the CRM game!

Understanding Operations and Images:

We've got a bunch of operations - Create, Update, and Delete - and each comes with its own pre and post images. It's like having different tools for different jobs in your CRM toolkit!

Check Out the Messages:

Create Operation:

• Pre Operation: No pre-image, no post-image.
• Post Operation: No pre-image, but there's a post-image.

Update Operation:

• Pre Operation: There's a pre-image, but no post-image.
• Post Operation: Both pre-image and post-image are in action.

Delete Operation:

• Pre Operation: You've got a pre-image, but no post-image.
• Post Operation: Similar to the previous scenario, you've got a pre-image, but no post-image.

Why Do These Messages Matter?

Imagine creating a new record - no need to look back at the "before" picture because there isn't one yet. But when you're updating or deleting, having a snapshot of the "before" and "after" is like having a time-traveling CRM wizard!

In a Nutshell:

Dynamics 365 is not just about data - it's about the operations that make things happen. Whether you're creating, updating, or deleting records, understanding the power of pre-image and post-image in each operation lets you customize your CRM with surgical precision. ?????
