Is it possible to copy an insight through the API? I know it's possible to "save as new" an insight through the designer, but I would like to do so programmatically.
any insight is metadata object, so basically it should be enough to post the same body to metadata resource: address is /gdc/md/<project ID>/obj?createAndGet=true and body the same like the original one (you fetch it with GET to /gdc/md/<project ID>/obj/<your object ID> as visible in address bar.
Those help pages might help (the principle is the same inside the project):

Problem
I need to get online presence status from Microsoft Outlook using VBA.
The status is presented as a green-yellow-red-grey light displayed near the contact name and usually provided by some instant message(IM) application (e.g. Teams, Skype, Zoom, Jabber etc.).
Here is how it is usually look:
Available data
Unfortunately the status is not available in Outlook structures AddressEntry or ExchangeUser, which are pretty easy to acquire.
Note: Please do not confuse online presence with calendar availability, which can easily retrieved using function GetFreeBusy.
Alternative view
The only relevant and pretty decent description related to the topic I found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/client-developer/shared/integrating-im-applications-with-office .
But here the topic is presented from the different angle - what should be done from the IM application side to provide this status. In short: the IM app should add some data to the registry under ...\Software\IM Providers\... and implement interface IUCOfficeIntegration, so Outlook can use it to retrieve the status.
So an intermediate idea was to retrieve the status via this interface from the IM app directly. But there is very few information about calling COM interfaces from VBA.
Does anyone can provide any hints how the status can be retrieved?
The Outlook object model doesn't provide any property or method for that. Graph API provides the Get presence methods for that.
You can use Graph for that. I don't think you'd be able to use VBA though.

I see either link them directly or visual attribute them. Example: say my website provides a recommendation directly to a user based on their submitted interest, do I just make sure "powered by Foursquare" shows underneath?
Any help would be appreciated! I'm new to tech development
These policies are generally more vague on purpose. Rule of thumb: If you're showing any data to users that isn't your own, it should be clear to them where it's coming from. This is done so the data provider gets proper attribution but also can protect yourself against content being displayed on in your app/site.
For Foursquare specifically, it seems like you would need to include a "Powered by Foursquare" icon and optionally provide a link to the venue if the user may need more information about the place.
I'm working with Sitefinity CMS and trying to figure out how to save the data from a "Forms Module" form to a separate database in the backend. Currently all the responses are saved into a table that is created when the form is built. What I want to do is re-route the save request to go through my code behind instead and save the data to Azure table storage. Is there a way to do this or by using the Forms Module am I stuck to saving the data to the table that is auto-created when the form is built? I've tried creating my own FormsSubmitRouteHandler as explained here (http://docs.sitefinity.com/for-developers-submit-forms-using-ajax-call#register-a-form-submit-route-handler) but I must be doing something wrong cause my code doesn't ever get hit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I didn't explain myself well please let me know.
You should create a new provider that implements the FormsDataProvider class.
Currently Sitefinity uses OpenAccessFormsProvider - so you can use JustDecompile to see how that was implemented and probably do something similar.
Then you need to register your custom provider in the Administration > Settings > Advanced > Forms
If you don't mind having the form responses in the Sitefinity database and in your custom storage, then you can subscribe to the IFormEntryCreatedEvent and in your event handler you can write the logic of saving the form respose somewhere else.
See this article for more details: http://docs.sitefinity.com/for-developers-forms-events#iformentrycreatedevent
Have in mind that this will result in form responses being saved in both, the SF datbase and your custom storage. Also, you won't be able to manage the entries stored in the custyom storage through Sitefinity backend. If that's your goal, then Vesselin's answer is the correct way to go, but more complicated.
First of all, I have to say that I am NET developer (C#) and my knowledge on Dynamics 365 is pretty limited. Nevertheless my employer thought that I am good enough to make that thingy from post title :)
After couple of hours researching and reading, I found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LwZLoXS6jo which address on how to create and send SMS from Dynamics. I am aware that this require me to create new Dynamics entities, at least SMSMessage and SMSMessageTemplate, but at least I found out how to do this :)
I understood everything stated there, but as i already said, due to my lack of knowledge on Dynamics 365, I got problems with (probably) basic things regarding Dynamics.
Here are those problems:
1. As far as I can tell, in order to build SMS gateway, first thing I need to do is to add new menu item inside Dynamics 365. I presume that this new menu item should reside inside 'Contacts' menu (contacts.jpg, marked with red box) but I am not sure on how to achieve this. Please note, I do not want someone to provide me with some magic solution, I just need someone to provide me with valid links that I can use to learn about this and solve my own problem :)
2. When new menu item is in place, and user click on it, I would like to open up a form for user to select SMS template that will be used and maybe setup some other values. Same again, U do not need to help me with exact code, just with some usable links :)
3. Inside that form that user will open on menu click, I would like to know how to get list of selected contacts (from grid at contact.jpg)
When I (finally) have that list of contacts, I will create SMS entities mentioned above (video link) and everything will fall in place and (hopefully) work.
I am aware that this is probably too much to ask, cause Dynamics 365 is rather complex, and people are spending great amounts of money and their time learning to became Dynamics developers, but without help, Dynamics is making me running in circles chasing my own tail :) and getting nowhere.
Also, I will be using online Dynamics 365 so bare in mind that any solution should work with it.
if any of U think that I missed or got something wrong, please let me know.enter image description here
So basically to get you started, you should:
1) Create a solution in Settings => Customizations => Solutions
2) Add contact entity to that solution (by choosing "Add existing" under Entities pane). Don't click "Add all assets" you will need only contact metadata to get going
3) Create jScript file and add a web resource to CRM (nothing really complicated, just go to web resources in you solution and click "Add new" and specify type of your web resource as jScript and target your file).
4) Now download http://www.xrmtoolbox.com
5) For now you are interested only in plugin "Ribbon Workbench"
6) Now simply choose your solution and contact - you will see command bars for contact homepage, list and form. This is pretty strainghtforward - simply drag and drop a button wherever you like, create a command using workbench and bind the button with the command (simply choose it from a drop-down). The command you are interested in is Custom Javacript. Here you specify your web resource and name of the function that you want to call. You can also specify parameters that should be passed inside your function for example ids of selected items (if you are on the list of records).
There are many approaches to fulfil your specific needs, but being able to call a custom javascript function from a button should be a good starting point, the rest is simply the knowledge of CRM SDK, so how to create an entity using API or open a form or open a web resource - everything is very well documented and you can get it simply by asking google, so I will not post any blog here, not to advertise too much. Also I's suggest downloading latest CRM SDK (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50032) - you have many sample code there, regarding plugins and some form modifications, you should also check this out.
To make it easier for you, you should refer to this "menu" as "Command bar" or "Ribbon", so rather look for "adding custom button to command bar CRM 2016" and you will be all good. Also to make a form for choosing a template, you will probably need some custom web resource, so "creating custom html5 web resource CRM 2016" should give you some good examples.
I am trying to pull a list of user stories for any project using infopath.
I am able to connect to the source https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.31/subscription?stylesheet=/slm/doc/webservice/browser.xsl but am not able to pull anything meaningful from it
at all. Can someone help me?
Its a very easy thing to do with other data sources, such as with active directory:
http://kwizcom.blogspot.com/2007/11/importing-data-from-ad-to-infopath-2007.html
If you can help steer me towards finding just a list of user stories, I’d appreciate it!
What format would you like the data in?
Json:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.31/hierarchicalrequirement.js
Xml:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.31/hierarchicalrequirement.xml
All the objects exposed in the Web Services API have similar endpoints and query parameters.
Here is an example to pull back all stories that are in progress:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.31/hierarchicalrequirement.js?query=(ScheduleState = "In-Progress")&fetch=Name,Owner,PlaneEstimate
You can test out other queries in the live web service docs as well:
