In this video we finish off our look at Relationship insights with the Email Engagement piece. We look at what is needed to make the functionality work in Dynamics 365, as well as create a tracked email with tracked attachment. Give us your feedback, all of it: good, bad, and ugly, I’m sure we can […]
Sometime, somewhere you are going to want to update the subject line or body of an email after it has been sent or received with a workflow. If you do, your workflow will fail with the following error: “Cannot update subject or description unless email is in draft status.” To make your workflow succeed, have […]
In Tip 224 we gave a solution for using email templates for signatures in emails sent from the CRM web interface. While this works, it is not automatic, and it has some limitations around logos and other formatting options. Well you don’t need 224 anymore! CRM 2016 update 1 (aka spring wave) introduces email signature capabilities […]
Sometimes, instead of a simple Send Email action in the workflow, it’s necessary to prepare the email in the workflow (Create Email action), perform some additional manipulations (like adding attachments) and then send it. To do just that, setting email status to Pending Send has been reliably working for everyone since CRM 2011. Until now. […]

For CRM On-Premises users, you will find SyncDiagnosticTool.exe in the Microsoft Dynamics CRM\Server\bin folder. Run this tool from […]
When you configure server-side synchronization and test mailboxes, you might see mailboxes that never finish the test. This can happen if you try to enable too many mailboxes at one time. If that is the case, restart your asynchronous processing services, and the mailbox tests should complete.
Ability to enable entities for emails is great – it’s another useful slice of functionality previously reserved only for contacts and accounts. If you are like me and prefer a minimalistic approach to entity design, you may be tempted to check the box enabling emails and be done with it. This is not going to […]
Would you like to make your emails billable? Of course, you would. Add the field(s) dealing with the billing information and you’re all set, right? Not so fast. The problem is that tracked emails “arrive” into CRM as activities already closed so editing won’t be possible. Enter the realm of Adam “I’ll leave nuggets everywhere […]
Having troubles creating server-side synchronization between CRM Online and pop3/smtp system? You are in the right place then. You may have read in the documentation that GMail and Yahoo are listed as supported pop3/smtp providers for Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online and Although other POP3/SMTP systems may work with Microsoft Dynamics CRM, those systems were not […]
