Asynchronous Merge in Dynamics 365 CRM Power Apps | Power Platform

If you are familiar with Dynamics 365 CRM and it’s Merge feature for records, here’s a new feature that will let you merge records asynchronously and not hold your time on the screen.

Scenario

1. When you select 2 records, you’ll see the Merge button, of course.
2. And when you see the preferences which you have to select and move the fields into the Active/Master record.
3. Once you click OK, you’d see this loading screen as the operation would happen in the background.
4. Now, depending on how many related/child records you had for the selected records, it would take that longer time to process and it’s inefficient to hold your screen while the merging is happening – much like a Synchronous plugin.
5. The only advantage is that you would know if anything failed.

Let’s look at how you can enable Asynchronous Merge on your environment and how this will affect your experience along with some pet-peeves.
