Dynamics 365 & LinkedIn Sales Navigator: New Features Q1-2020
I wrote two other articles about Linkedin Sales Navigator and the Dynamics 365 integration, which can be found here (1) and here (2).

Tracking Opportunity Approvals
Last week I had an interesting requirement for one of my prospects. They wanted to track approvals for opportunity records in Dynamics 365 Sales. You’re probably going to say ‘That’s easy enough, just use Power Automate and create a flow with approvals but it was a tiny bit more complicated than that, which made me think this configuration would make an interesting topic to write about. I learned a lotRead More

D365 Field Service: New Schedule Board
Microsoft has redesigned the schedule board for field service. Partners and customers were able to sign up for a private preview of the new and improved schedule board a few months ago, but now the preview has gone public.

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 & LinkedIn Sales Navigator | Part 2
Most of you probably have heard of the integration between Dynamics 365 Sales and LinkedIn Sales Navigator, but don’t exactly know how everything works.
