Interactive Experience Dashboards
In this article I am going to talk about interactive experience dashboards in Customer Service. These dashboards were introduced to us as part of the interactive service hub in the customer service area. I can’t tell you how much I like them, and honestly I think they are kind of a hidden gem, specially since they have been around for a while! They have similarities with ‘regular’ Dynamics 365 Dashboards,Read More
Setup Mailbox for Automatic Case Creation in Unified Interface
In the past I’ve written an article on how to setup and configure a support mailbox in exchange where customers can send emails to if they have an issue that needs to be resolved. We were able to use the automatic record creation and update rules (ACR) in the legacy interface to configure the logic to create a case record for the email that came in. I’ve tried to setRead More
Create case from a tweet with negative sentiment
This past weekend I have been playing around a little more with Power Automate. I was off on Friday for Independence Day, since the 4th of July was on a Saturday most organizations gave their employees the previous Friday off to observe the holiday and what better to do on your day off than playing around with some of the tools of the Power Platform toolbox! I was thinking aboutRead More
SLA’s in the Unified Interface
Some people might not have noticed that SLA’s (service level agreements) didn’t just move from the legacy interface to the unified interface. There were also a few updates to SLA’s and the way we can configure them in Dynamics 365 Customer Service has slightly changed. Before I get into that, let me first explain what SLA’s are and how they are used. What are SLA’s? Service level agreements allow organizationsRead More
Dynamics 365 – 2020 Release Wave 1 | Updates
I wrote a total of three articles on the 2020 Release wave 1, which can be found on my blog. There were a few things that didn’t work in my environment at the time I wrote the previous articles, which meant that I couldn’t really report on them. Some of these items have been fixed after working with Microsoft support so I wanted to write another article regarding those items.Read More

Dynamics 365 Customer Service: KB Automatic Filtering
I ran into a feature the other day that I thought would be worth writing an article about. This feature has been around for a while, but I feel that it might slipped in without a lot of us noticing, so here goes! Administrators can configure the knowledge base search control on the case form to automatically filter knowledge base articles based on data populated in the case record. ThisRead More

Dynamics 365 Customer Service: Setup Mailbox for Automatic Case Creation
In this article I am going to explain how we can setup a mailbox in exchange and tie that to a support mailbox in Dynamics 365. When people send an email to this mailbox, a case will automatically be created by the system. We can then use a workflow to assign this new case to a queue or team as described in this previously published article. Please note for thisRead More
Dynamics 365 Customer Service: Automatic Case Assignment
In this article I am going to explain how we can use workflows to assign cases to a team in Dynamics 365 based on the issue type(category and subcategory). Once the case is assigned to a team, managers or customer service reps can then pick cases they want to work on by assigning cases to others or themselves. The team membership will determine which team Customer Service Reps can pickRead More
