To define Agent Scripts – navigate to Customer Service Hub > Service Management > Agent Scripts or Omnichannel Administration > Agent Experience > Agent Scripts


Create a new Agent script record, and specify steps for the same by creating new agent script step record.


We can define 3 different types of Action – Text, Macro, and Script.


For simplicity, we have selected Text here.


We have defined 2 script steps for the agent script as shown below.


Next, we need to associate the Agent Script with the Session template.

Inside the Omnichannel Administration > Agent Experience > Sessions, select the template we want the script to be associated.

Here let us select the Case entity session – default template

We can also define the conditions for the default agent script to be applied using the Enable Build expression option.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/app-profile-manager/agent-scripts#set-the-default-agent-script-for-agents

For now to make the example simple, we leave it as No (default).

Back in Customer Service Workspace or Omnichannel for Customer Service App– Shift + click the case record to open the new session in the Active Cases grid.

We can see the script populated there for the agent on the case record opened.

If we have multiple scripts associated with the Session template – the agent has the option to select the appropriate script.

Hope it helps..

Login to the admin portal and environments section

This places the search bar in the header, making it easy to access while navigating across different pages.

With Relevance search turned off à

On clicking the search icon à we are navigated to the categorized search page.

The search result for the term “alex” with Relevance Search on–

Even before we can enter our query in the search box, the search box displays the recent terms (seems like max 3) used for search along with recent records (seems like max 6) accessed.

Fixed – 401 Unauthorized error while calling Dynamics 365 Web API


We were recently getting the below error while trying to call Dynamics 365 Web API through Postman.

“401 Unauthorized”

It turned out that we were using the incorrect Token.

To generate the correct token,

For OAuth 2.0 token endpoint (v1) Version 1

  • We need to specify resource with Dynamics 365 URL.


For OAuth 2.0 token endpoint (v2) Version 2

  • We need to specify scope with
    Dynamics 365 URL followed by .default instead of a resource.

The correct token results in the successful call to the Web API

How to – Check user’s access to a record – upcoming feature in Dynamics 365


Was going through the Model-Driven Apps documentation and found the below article

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/user/access-checker

It talks about a Check access button on the command bar of a record which will list down all the rights/access/privileges on that particular record.

And also how the user has got those accesses, through security roles directly assigned or through the team the user belongs.

We can also check the access of the other users as well through user lookup.

More on Access in Dynamics 365

Hope it helps..
