Power Virtual Agents: Conversation Booster(preview)
Microsoft announced a new amazing preview feature for Power Virtual Agents yesterday, which you can try out today! If you are aware of how Power Virtual Agents (and most chatbots) work, then you know that usually, when a chatbot encounters a question or response that it doesn’t know how to answer, it can only ask the user to rephrase or connect to a human agent. But now, with the newRead More

Modernized Case Grids
You might not have noticed due to the holidays last month, but another 2022 Wave 2 feature that is part of Dynamics 365 Customer Service went into general availability in December! A nice little holiday present from Microsoft! This feature gives customer service agents and managers access to relevant information regarding cases.

Power Automate: Get list of values for Power Virtual Agents’ List Variable
My last article was about some of the new preview features in Power Virtual that we can try out today. One of these features is the ability to bring in dynamics options from Dataverse and store these in a list variable in Power Virtual Agent to show as options when the bot asks a question. Let me explain what I mean by that. Previously when we asked a question inRead More
Enable AI generated conversation summary(preview)
In this article I am going to discuss a feature that is currently in preview. I had a little trouble finding out how this works, which is why I decided to write this article about it. This feature is part of the collaboration between Dynamics 365 Customer Service and Microsoft Teams which utilizes an AI model that uses natural language to summarize a transcript of an active chat conversation fromRead More
Dynamics 365: 2022 Release notes for wave 2 are here!
Earlier today Microsoft published the release notes for the 2022 Release wave 2! I always tell people to keep in mind that this is a living document, meaning that these updates are not set in stone. Microsoft is continuously updating the release notes by changing, adding and even removing functionality from the plan. This is also one of the reasons I will not post any preview or GA dates here.Read More

This feature is also part of 2022 Release Wave 1 and has been generally available since April 1st of this year. It’s interesting to note that this feature is showingRead More
Configure custom status on SLA Timer
This article is about another feature that is part of Dynamics 365 2022 Release Wave 1. Let me first explain what this feature is about, because when you read the information on Microsoft’s doc site related to this feature, it might be a little bit confusing. A while ago I wrote this article on the new SLA timer control where I explained how you can add this new control toRead More
Interact with Dynamics 365 records in Teams Chat(Preview)
I feel like I’ve been repeating myself, since this is yet another article where I talk about additional functionality in the Microsoft Teams and Dynamics 365 integration. As a recap, previously I wrote two articles on the embedded Teams chat in Dynamics 365 which allows users to access Microsoft Teams chat from the Dynamics 365 application (if you haven’t read the articles yet you can do so here and here),Read More
