Extending Copilot in D365 Sales – Part 2

If you’ve worked with Dynamics 365 Sales, before most likely you’ve seen Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales. Please note that I am not talking about Copilot for Sales, which requires an additional license, I am referring to Copilot that sits inside of the D365 Sales application. Out of the box this Copilot empowers sellers with quick access to sales data from Dynamics 365, allowing sellers to ask questions on DynamicsRead More

Extending Copilot in D365 Sales – Part 1

You have most likely heard of all the different Copilots that Microsoft published in the past year, from Copilot in Microsoft Teams to Copilot in SharePoint, Dynamics 365 apps and of course Microsoft 365 Copilot which is grounded in business data, allowing users to ask questions about work related things. In this article I am going to discuss how we can extend Copilot in Dynamics 365 Sales. Just to beRead More

Case handling time (Preview)

Organizations might have the need to track the total time agents spend on cases for several reasons. By monitoring time, managers can identify areas where agents excel and where improvements are needed, ensuring resources are allocated effectively. This data is crucial for performance evaluations, and it helps set benchmarks and goals. Understanding the time spent on cases allows organizations to improve processes and improve customer satisfaction. For industries with regulatoryRead More

New lead qualification experience

When 2024 release wave 2 came out, one of the features in the long list of updates for Dynamics 365 Sales was the new lead qualification experience. This feature was originally part of the first wave of the 2024 release wave, but unfortunately it was pushed to a later date for unknown reasons. When I installed the early access features of 2024 release wave 2 in my environment, I noticedRead More

Configure if Booking Status completes a work order

If your organization is using Dynamics 365 Field Service, then you might have come across a scenario where a field technician doesn’t need to fully complete a work order, but instead they need to partially complete a work order. There could be multiple reasons for this need, for example a technician doesn’t have all the required parts on hand to fix the issue, and they might need to order theRead More

Improved email attachment experience in D365 Customer Service

Here is another set of features that kind of snuck into Dynamics 365 Customer Service without anyone noticing! At least I didn’t notice until I opened an email message in Dynamics 365 Customer Service and saw some different options available for me! I (or any other admin) didn’t need to enable anything, these features just showed up out of the blue! It’s hard to pinpoint which release wave these featuresRead More

Copilot assistance for form fill in Model-Driven Apps

Believe it or not, I have actually received requests in the past where prospects wanted the system to automatically create records in Dataverse or Dynamics 365, which of course is kind of crazy! We always need to integrate with another system, or have someone either enter data manually or import the data into Dynamics 365 (or Dataverse) (for example rows like accounts, contacts, opportunities, cases, etc.) after which we canRead More

Associate emails to multiple records (preview)

As you might or might not know, today we only have the ability to relate activities to ONE row (or record) in Dynamics 365 CX by setting the ‘regarding’ field on the activity. This can be problematic, because there might be a need to save a record to multiple rows (or records). A good example of when there would be a need to associate an activity (like an email) toRead More

Find Dynamics 365 Data in Outlook using mentions

Today I stumbled across a feature that is pretty new! This feature was just released on March 6th and I have to say I am loving it! Apparently, it has been in preview, so I am not sure how I missed it, but I guess with so many new features being pushed out on a regular basis, it is to be expected that some features slip through the cracks! First,Read More
