The enhanced email experience (originally a preview feature in 2019 Wave 2) allows users to multi-task while they compose emails, navigating to other records while they write an email. This feature can only be turned on in the Sales Hub app, but once you turn it on, it can be used from any model-driven app. […]

Send it to jar@crmtipoftheday.com (and don’t forget to include either your Twitter handle or LinkedIn profile link for the eternal link appreciation).

Yesterday an old friend stopped me with a question. How old is he? He knows how to update an isv.config file. He had an email enabled queue set up and incoming emails were being created in the queue, but his auto record creation rule wasn’t turning the emails into cases. I asked him to check […]
I love my D365 email notifications said nobody Recently I spoke at a conference with Dynamics users, and I asked the group of about 50 people who liked their CRM email notifications. Nobody raised their hand. There are several problems with traditional workflow based email notifications: Everybody gets too many emails. Blanket workflow based emails […]

Mini Truckstop Today we have a stop with two Vikings (different countries though): Jonas “The Shuffler” Rapp and Marius Agur Hagelund Lind Jonas – Question Recently we have found a new (?) problem at a customer, where emails are incorrectly “connected” to the wrong sender. By what rule/rules does Dynamics 365 chose which record to […]
What is your first reaction when you receive email like this one Let’s see. Comes from someone with the name “Workflow”, has attachment and no body text, and refers to financial matters (payment advice/invoice/quote). Delete? Delete!
