D365 Fetch-Query Builder, developed by Saurabh Pant, is a Chrome extension that helps create and test FetchXML queries for Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power Apps. The tool provides a visual query builder so users can assemble entities, linked entities, filters, and sort orders without hand-editing XML, and it runs queries in real time against the active Dataverse session. It can export standard FetchXML for use in C#, JavaScript, or Power Automate, aimed at developers, consultants, and administrators who build Dataverse queries.

Build complex queries visually to reduce manual XML work

With a graphical query canvas, the extension removes the need to hand-write FetchXML, letting users pick entities and attributes, add linked entities for joins, and define filters and sort orders with clicks. Visual Query Construction maps those UI actions to valid FetchXML, and an on-screen list shows chosen fields and conditions, so technical users can construct multi-table queries without memorizing the XML schema.

Operates inside your active Dynamics session, so no credentials are required

The extension runs within the open Dynamics 365 or Power Apps session and uses the active authentication already present in the browser, so you do not provide separate credentials. This lets the tool read entities and attributes from the current Dataverse instance and it works with Model-Driven Power Apps because those apps are built on Dataverse, keeping query authoring tied to the live environment you are examining.

Browser-first design keeps work inside Chromium workflows

Built as a lightweight Chrome extension, the tool runs on Chromium-based browsers such as Edge and Brave and avoids switching to external desktop utilities. Community feedback highlights its simplicity and time savings, and many users treat it as a technical alternative to Advanced Find. The browser integration makes it convenient when most Dataverse work already happens in a supported browser.

Exports standard FetchXML to fit developer deployment tasks

Export functions generate standard FetchXML that copies into C# plugins, JavaScript, Power Automate flows, or Web API calls, matching patterns developers use in custom workflow activities. Support for linked entities produces cross-table output suitable for integration code. For architects and consultants, extracting tested FetchXML from the tool reduces manual syntax errors when moving queries into application code or automation flows.

Best fit for browser-based Dataverse teams; browser dependency is the trade-off

For developers and consultants who do the bulk of Dataverse work inside a browser, the extension speeds the handoff from query exploration to production code. The design favors in-browser workflows, so teams that must edit queries offline or use non-Chromium browsers will face limits. Use it when your environment is already browser-centric and you need a quicker route to deploy FetchXML in application code.
