How to – enable marketing interactions in lead and contact timeline – Dynamics 365 Marketing

To view marketing interactions, we need to add a custom connector to the timeline of the lead and the contact form. This step is only required if we are using custom forms and not the out-the-box marketing forms for lead and contact.

The OOB Form already has this connector defined.

Open the form for customization, select the timeline control, scroll down to Advanced >> Additional Settings >> Custom connectors, and click on Add connector.

Specify Constructor and Resource Path and save the record.

Constructor: msdynmkt_DynamicsMktTimelineInteractionAnalytics.TimelineInteractionAnalyticsResource
Resource path: msdynmkt_DynamicsMktTimelineInteractionAnalytics

Save the form and publish it.

We can see the marketing interactions being displayed in the timeline.

Hope it helps..

Use Command checker (ribbondebug=true) to identify the Ribbon Customizations Issue – Dataverse / Dynamics 365

Appending ribbondebug=true to the record’s URL adds the new Command checker button in the command bar, which could help us in troubleshooting any unexpected behavior with ribbon.

More on this – https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/introducing-command-checker-for-model-app-ribbons/

Recently we added one enable rule to an existing button (Go Live) in the Customer Journey table. The rule was calling a JavaScript web resource based on the security role assigned to the user hiding or showing the button on the form.

Click on the Command checker to open the window on the side pane, where we can then select our button.

In the command properties tab, we can see our custom enable rule showing an error.

Also here clicking in View rule definition solution layers provides us the detail that this rule has been added as part of an unmanaged layer.

Clicking on the Unmanaged layer further provides us with the definition of the enable rule.

Going back to the error, we figured out that the function was missing from the web resource, and adding the function fixed the issue for us.

Back in the Command checker, we can see the custom Enable Rule getting evaluated correctly.

Check the Troubleshooting Guide

Solved – Presence not loading in Omnichannel for Customer Service / Customer Service workspace

Recently in one of the environments, the presence was not loading for the agents.

To fix it, we had to update the Channel URL to point to the correct organization name.

Before –

https://oc-cdn-ocprod.azureedge.net/convcontrol/ChatControl.htm?uci=true&clientName=zfp&cloudType=Public&env=prod&ocBaseUrl=https://unq614e23c1ccc540f3a9bf2f80c99d9-crm.omnichannelengagementhub.com&ucilib=https://orged4e3d70.crm.dynamics.com/webresources/Widget/msdyn_ciLibrary.js

After –

https://oc-cdn-ocprod.azureedge.net/convcontrol/ChatControl.htm?uci=true&clientName=zfp&cloudType=Public&env=prod&ocBaseUrl=https://unq614e23c1ccc540f3a9bf2f80c99d9-crm.omnichannelengagementhub.com&ucilib=https://gcst.crm.dynamics.com/webresources/Widget/msdyn_ciLibrary.js

Verify the Unique Name used in ocBaseUrl and Orgname from Settings >> Customizations >> Developer Resources

On correcting the URL in the Omnichannel record (Channel Integration framework 2.0 Providers)– we can see the presence loading.

The cause for the issue was we had recently updated the environment’s URL from the Power Platform Admin Center.

Install Voice Channel in Omnichannel – Dynamics 365 Customer Service

Make sure all the prerequisites are in place –

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/customer-service/omnichannel-provision-license#prerequisites

https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/environments

Select Resources >> Dynamics 365 apps

Select Manage for Omnichannel for Customer Service – Telephony

It will open Dynamics 365 Administration Center | Omnichannel page

Click on Add environment

Select the required environment and click on Next.

If we do not have the required subscription for a particular channel we will get the below error

Next for Voice, select Add Voice along with Voice and Messaging preview terms.

Keep clicking on Next till confirmation (add other channels if required)

The confirmation page will show all the selections and details.

Clicking on Finish starts the installation process.

After around 1.5 -2 hours or so we could see the installation being successful.

If we want to add another channel e.g. SMS, select the SMS tab and save to start the process.

This starts the update

After an hour or so we see the status as installed for both Voice and SMS.

On opening the Customer Service Admin Center app, we can see the option of getting started with a voice demo.

Assign the account you are using the Omnichannel Agent and Omnichannel Admin role (even if you are a system administrator you need this role to start with the voice demo, admin to configure and agent to test)

It will create the workstreams, acquire a phone number, create a voice channel, power virtual agent, etc. for the demo

After around 2 minutes or so, we will have our voice demo setup done.

We can open the agent app which is either Omnichannel for Customer Service or Customer Service Workspace App and can call the phone number configured to test the application.

We can see the following workstreams created for Voice and Voicemail channels.

The demo telephony workstream 1

The agent receiving the notification

*At times we have faced an issue when there is a bot configured, so in case you are facing any issues, try removing the bot from the workstream

Hope it helps..

Show/Hide ribbon button based on Security Role without writing code in Dynamics 365 CE?

goutam dynamics

Recently I have seen in a community post, there was a requirement to show/hide opportunity “Close as won” and “Close as lost” button based on user security role without writing any code. Ideally in this scenario we basically retrieve the user role name using web API and then based on that we return true/false to show/hide the button using ribbon workbench enable rule. But now days as you may know that most of the browser deprecated Synchronous call and reason why we are following some alternate options like here Andrew Butenko’s mentioned his blog, Thanks to Andrew for his blog and its really useful when you need to do an API call.

I thought why not we do this without writing code? and can we avoid hard-coded roles name in the code to make it more configurable way? is this possible? yes, it is possible without writing code…

Use the Marketing only field to identify automatically generated marketing contact records – Dynamics 365 Marketing

The form-matching strategy defines what field(s) will be used to find the matching record.

Can be found at – Dynamics 365 Marketing >> Settings >> Lead Management >> Form Matching (Outbound)

We then associate the form-matching record with a marketing form.

So if a contact with the same email address is found, the record will be updated, if not then a new contact record will be created, on form submission.

Now to identify these auto-created contact records, we can make use of the out-of-the-box Marketing Only Boolean field. The system populates this field for the contact records created as part of marketing form submission.

We can find the field in the Contact form – Details tab >> Marketing Section.
