Hi

I have a Customer Case, where the contacts in Business Central are linked to users in DynamicWeb. But not all of the contacts in Business Central are users in DynamicWeb, so I would like to be able to filter the contacts before they are synched to DynamicWeb. Maybe it could be done by adding an extra event publisher as depicted in the attached file?

Hi Soren,

we have anotther solution that you can already use without any additioanl feature developed. We have "OnBeforeExecuteRequest" subscriber event where we can
implement completely custom xml being returned. There is an example of that in the examples solution: look in the DynamicwebGlobalSubscriber.al file for a sample code 
that returns the "Company" xml, so you can simply change it to return all contacts/filtered contacts xml from BC for your purpose.
If needed I can sent you the mapping code we use for generating contacts xml for our current requests.
BR, Dmitrij
