Question

You are building a nightly integration that must upsert approximately 8,000 account records into Dataverse from an external system using the Dataverse Web API. Early tests using one HTTP request per record are exceeding the maintenance window and triggering service protection API limits. You need to reduce the number of round trips while still allowing each individual upsert to be processed and to receive per-record results. Which approach should you use?

Accepted Answer

Group the upserts into $batch requests, placing multiple changeset operations per batch to reduce the number of HTTP round trips.

Answer

Send each upsert as a separate PATCH request but wrap them all in a single Power Automate cloud flow with a retry policy.

Answer

Call the CreateMultiple message with all 8,000 records serialized into one JSON payload in a single POST.

Answer

Increase the client timeout and continue sending one PATCH per record so each response can be validated individually.
