Automating Tasks in your Dynamics 365 Integration

With automated tasks, your agents can stay busy handling calls and avoid manually updating two systems. You can create the following rules (and more) in your Talkdesk for Dynamics 365 integration to keep your agents' busy work to a minimum:

  • When a new contact is created, sync contact in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
  • When an outbound call ends in Talkdesk, log a call in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
  • When a contact is updated in Talkdesk, sync contact in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
  • When an outbound call disposition is set, sync lead in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
  • When an outbound call is missed, create case in Microsoft Dynamics 365.

Automated tasks will help to streamline the support and sales process and enhance the quality of service that your team provides to customers.

Note: To use the “sync lead” or “sync opportunity” action types, please ensure that the account in Microsoft Dynamics 365 has one solution installed that includes the lead or opportunity entity type, accordingly.

To configure an automated task, please follow these steps:

Example: Syncing a Contact from an Outbound Disposition

Let’s take the example of syncing a contact in Dynamics 365 when an outbound disposition is set.

In section 1, “Choose a Talkdesk event and an action”, use the dropdown menus to configure a statement like “When an outbound call disposition is set [5] in Talkdesk then Sync Contact [6] in Dynamics 365”. 

If desired, you can click Add filter in section 2, “Define event”, to fire this automation only when certain conditions are met. See our documentation on Automated Tasks Filters for more information.

In section 3, “Define action”, you can customize the details Talkdesk sends to Dynamics 365 by dragging the relevant fields into the text boxes. For more information, read the article Automated Tasks Fields.

You can customize these fields according to your preferences, however, please note the First Name [7] and Last Name [8] fields are required for this automation.

Once the configuration is complete, click Save at the bottom of the page to activate the automated task. You can disable and re-enable this automated task at any time by switching the toggle to OFF / ON.
