Assign SLA based on Case creation time
A few weeks ago I received a question from someone who asked me if it was possible to assign an SLA to a case based on the time of day a case was created. For example if the case was created in the morning between 8AM and 11:59AM it would get the ‘Morning SLA’ attached, and if it was created betweem 12PM and 5PM it would get the ‘Afternoon SLA’Read More

D365 Dialogs functionality using Power Automate: When a record is selected
Most of you probably remember the time when Dialogs was part of Dynamics 365 Processes. When users would run the dialog it allowed for a window to pop up where users could enter data into the dialog. From there the system could perform actions (like workflows and power automate flows do) such as creating a record, updating a record etc.Unfortunately dialogs were deprecated a while ago. What if you neededRead More
