Schedule weekly email with quote details and hyperlink | Part 2

Last week I wrote part 1 of my article on how you can use Power Automate to automatically send a weekly email with data from Dynamics 365 Sales, or Dataverse. If you haven’t read the article yet, I would suggest doing that first. You can access the article here. In today’s article I am going to finish building the Power Automate flow. Last week we left off at the ‘ListRead More

Schedule weekly email with quote details and hyperlink | Part 1

In todays article I am going to explain a specific requirement and show you how we can use power automate to satisfy this particular requirement. A few months ago I had to demonstrate a scenario where sales people needed to get a reminder for outstanding quotes they needed to follow up on. The sales people would create quotes on a daily bases, but not all quotes would be completed ‘allRead More

Email Validation(preview) in Dynamics 365 Sales

Today I am writing an article about yet another preview feature that you can try out in your sandbox environment today. This feature went into public preview this month (October 2022) and if you don’t see the option in your environment yet, you just need to wait a little longer until it reaches your region. Before showing you what this does, let’s first talk about what exactly it is! SoRead More

Enable AI generated conversation summary(preview)

In this article I am going to discuss a feature that is currently in preview. I had a little trouble finding out how this works, which is why I decided to write this article about it. This feature is part of the collaboration between Dynamics 365 Customer Service and Microsoft Teams which utilizes an AI model that uses natural language to summarize a transcript of an active chat conversation fromRead More

Create custom notifications on email opens

You have probably all seen the notifications in Dynamics 365 when a customer or prospect opens an email message. This notification shows in the timeline on the bottom of an email message, but if you don’t check it, you won’t see it! Another place where these notifications can become visible is in the Dynamics 365 assistant…if you set up a notification for this when you created the email in DynamicsRead More

Generic updates in 2022 Release Wave 2

I wanted to take a minute to write an article about some of the more generic updates in the Dynamics 365 applications. For example, I noticed there are some additional changes to the forms in Dynamics 365 model driven apps that were not really mentioned in any of the release notes, so I figured I would write about that as well. Once you install the early access features for 2022Read More

Record ownership across business units (Preview)

This is a feature that has been in preview for quite some time now (for those of you who are interested, the preview was announced back in early November of 2021 under the heading of ‘Modernize Business Units’), but I realized I haven’t written an article about this, so I thought now would be a good time to explain what this feature entails. This feature has been requested for quiteRead More

Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Power Platform release planner(preview)

Normally my articles are about features in Dynamics 365 or the power platform, but this time I made an exception because I wanted to tell you about the Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Power Platform release planner that is currently in preview, or BETA as it shows on the website. I read about the release planner last week and honestly I haven’t seen a lot of articles, tweets or videos aboutRead More

Configure custom status on SLA Timer

This article is about another feature that is part of Dynamics 365 2022 Release Wave 1. Let me first explain what this feature is about, because when you read the information on Microsoft’s doc site related to this feature, it might be a little bit confusing. A while ago I wrote this article on the new SLA timer control where I explained how you can add this new control toRead More
