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

Creating a work order from an opportunity in Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement (yes, with opportunity products!!!!)
Users were always able to convert an opportunity to one or multiple work orders, but if the opportunity had opportunity products associated, these items wouldn’t make their way over to the work order.
