Track incremental Dataverse record changes using the Web API change tracking and delta tokens

Verified steps

  1. Enable change tracking on the target Dataverse table in the Power Apps maker portal (Table settings > Auditing/Change tracking toggle) — this is a prerequisite for the API to return delta links.
  2. Issue the initial request with the Prefer: odata.track-changes header: GET https://<org>.crm.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.2/<entitySetName>?$select=<fields> with the Prefer header; the response returns all current records plus an @odata.deltaLink in the last page of results.
  3. Store the @odata.deltaLink value (which contains a $deltatoken query parameter); use it for all subsequent change-polling requests.
  4. On each polling cycle, GET the full deltaLink URL; the response contains only records that were created, updated, or deleted since the token was generated.
  5. Deleted records are identified by the @odata.context annotation containing #deleted and a record body with the primary key and a reason field ('deleted' or 'changed').
  6. After processing each delta response, capture the new @odata.deltaLink from the response to use in the next cycle; do not reuse old tokens.
