Key Features of the New Dynamics Integration with Teams

Chatbot

Talk to the Dynamics 365 Bot to search, update and post to records.

The bot will prompt you with some example questions, and from there you can imagine this comes in handy when you want information quickly without having to go to Dynamics.

Add record as a tab

Add records to a Teams channel to get easy access to any record. Such as the Account, Contact, Opportunity or Project.

This is great for managing Projects. Put the Project record right in the Teams channel you are using to collaborate with your other project team members and you can quickly pull up the project estimates, as well as key information you are using to keep track of it in Dynamics.

Conversations

Get and keep conversations going about the record you have created a tab for.

View your dashboards

Gain quick insights into your data with the dashboards embedded right into Teams. Whether they are Dynamics Dashboards, or PowerBI dashboards that you have embedded into D365, get the quick insights you may need at your fingertips.

 

In summary, this new Teams integration with Dynamics will allow your users to perform most of their work in Teams. They won’t necessarily have to go to Dynamics 365 every time they need to perform an action on a record or get insights on a report/dashboard.

What I love most about Dynamics 365 is how it streamlines processes for businesses of all sizes. Every organization is unique, but they all have the same need to get more done in less time. Dynamics 365 is the solution to do that. I'm a skilled listener who knows how to get beneath the surface and hone in on exactly what clients need to get out of Dynamics 365, making him one of the most valuable additions to any team.
