| Web to Lead or Web to Case Posted: 23 Feb 2004 02:56 PM PST If you want this all to happen automatically (rather than an email arriving
in a support queue and being manually assigned to someone)...
Microsoft Exchange server has events that can be attached to whenever an
email arrives. We once used it to receive EDI documents attached to emails,
and automatically submit them to BizTalk messaging. You could do the same
kind of thing for CRM using the CRM SDK. Your component that creates the
lead/case would need to run as a CRM user with enough permissions. If you
have a professional license for MSCRM, you would have received an additional
integration license (used for the BizTalk/GP integration), that you could
use for your component as well.

create cases/leads based on an email. For example, lets say we have a
mailbox called com - if a request comes into that mailbox,
i'd like it to automatically create a case and enter the queue for the next
available support technician. or, have a mailbox called com
and have a lead automatically generated.
are able to get the email messages into the crm system, but, since i can't
do workflow on an email message, i can't create the case and fire off the
workflow. Any thoughts?

| Questions about the CRM Sales for Outlook Posted: 23 Feb 2004 06:09 AM PST Good solution John, and in fact, disabling replication (dropping the merge
publications) seems to help with performance of the entire CRM system (look
in SQLProfiler to see how much noise replication generates). You can always
re-enable it later if you need it (there is a tech article on this).
The "Go Offline" option will still appear in the Outlook client, but the
user will get an error about not finding the publication if they try to go
offline. They will continue to be able to work in Online mode in Outlook.

| CRM Licensing Posted: 21 Feb 2004 02:04 AM PST So in fact I can add licenses in standards form.
I have 18 licenses of Customer Service Professional, and therefore I can add
Sales Standard licenses.As long as I don't want users to have both at the
same time, which is fine.
Having Professional CS workflow, does this mean I can create workflow for
the Sales Standard too?
If this is the case why wasn't I told I only needed one Professional license
and the rest can be Standard?
Thanks for your input.

| Can I send Direct Mail with an Attachment? Posted: 21 Feb 2004 01:59 AM PST Paul-
You might take a look at a product called OmniRush. (www.omnirush.com)
It installs on a separate server, and can process mass mailings from many
different data sources.
What makes this product different than many other mass-mailing tools is its
ability to put history records back into CRM for mailings that are complete.
Hope this helps.

| Product Comparison Table Posted: 20 Feb 2004 01:20 PM PST Hi Shauna, MSCRM was released at the same time in Canada and the US. I'm in
Canada, and we've been working with it for well over a year. Unfortunately
I'm not involved in the Sales end of MSCRM (we do customizations for
companies that own CRM, and for companies that sell it), so I can't give you
much help there.
You might want to try talking to Joe Horvath at iFusion CRM
(http://www.ifusioncrm.com)...I think they're the top MSCRM partner in
Canada, they have many MSCRM customers, and many of their staff have worked
for other CRM companies in the past, so they're quite knowledgable in terms
of product comparison.

| Opportunity.RetrieveByObject not working?? Posted: 20 Feb 2004 07:36 AM PST Hi Mike
Yes I'm sure I'm specifying the correct object ID and Type. I can retrive
the account id by retriving the opportunity using the Retrieve function but
when I try RetrieveByObject using the exact same account id I get nothing
!!!
Here is a code example I´m debuging, trying to figure this out. The {88C..
guid is the Opportunity I'm expecting to retrive from the RetrieveByObject
function. the {443... is the guid of the Account to whom the opportuniy
belongs to and I'm sucessfully retrieving out of the Retrieve function.
string strColumnSetXml = "<columnset>";
strColumnSetXml += "<column>opportunityid</column>";
strColumnSetXml += "<column>name</column>";
strColumnSetXml += "<column>accountid</column>";
strColumnSetXml += "</columnset>";
string strRetrOp =
opportunity.Retrieve(AuthenticateUser(),"{88C27AFB-9D9A-4891-BFFC-D40B9CBB1A
96}", strColumnSetXml);
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CObjectName objName = new
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CObjectName();
objName.Id = "{4431DC50-42D5-484F-80D0-0DB1D7A78126}";
objName.Type = Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.ObjectType.otAccount;
// Retrieve the opportunities that are associated with the account
string strRetByOb = opportunity.RetrieveByObject(AuthenticateUser(),
objName, strColumnSetXml);
See anything abnormal or any ideas??

| Error Searching in CRM Knowledge Base Posted: 20 Feb 2004 05:06 AM PST These are most likely related. Do you have the Indexing service

Check you SQL job for the full text update refresh and view the

try the search again.

| Add Data Base foreign key Posted: 19 Feb 2004 05:27 PM PST Hi Chey, just add the appropriate index to the object's table in the MSCRM
database.
Note, you may need to disable replication to add the index. You can then
re-enable replication by running the p_CRMReplicationSetup script with the
proper parameters for your install.

If you can't live with it, you might want to add a custom hook into the
Close() event in Form.crm.htc (not a supported mod though).

| finding training classes on CRM Posted: 19 Feb 2004 02:31 PM PST I have done the e-courses. There are not bad. More valuable is the material
you get with them. But, even then, it does not get as advanced as you need
to be, but it was a good primer since I did them right at the beginning of
my CRM adventures. I would rank them as highly over priced for what you get
though.
