Microsoft CRM e-mail integraition Posted: 23 Feb 2004 03:17 PM PST This is exactly what we're trying to do....and the same concept with a sales request, create a lead or opportunity. I'm amazed the nobody else has had this need Leon |
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. Mike "Leon Thomas" <lthomas at jelecos.com> wrote in message news:com... 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? |

PDA Sync Posted: 23 Feb 2004 09:07 AM PST We have a solution for PDAs, but it does not have an offline database that syncs. Mobile Portal for Microsoft CRM runs on Pocket PC, Smartphone, Palm and Blackberry devices. It is live information when connected to the CRM database. Disconnected you can view recently viewed information as cached information in the device browser (usually a few days to a few weeks depending on device cache memory size). Mobile Portal is currently priced at $199 per user which includes 1st year maintenance of 18%. It can be purchased through an authorized partner or directly from Dynamic Methods. www.dynamicmethods.ne http://www.dynamicmethods.net/mobileportal http://www.dynamicmethods.net/images/crm_factsheet_mobileportal.pd Please contact me directly with other questions John Mood 949.369.9093 |
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. Mike "John O'Donnell" <com-nospam> wrote in message news:OK9TnRl%phx.gbl... |

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. Paul "John Gravely" <com> wrote in message news:#VGxbJJ#phx.gbl...

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 enabled? Check you SQL job for the full text update refresh and view the history to find out why this job is failing. Once you get that fixed, 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.

possible bug in converting lead to opp Posted: 19 Feb 2004 02:36 PM PST Yes, it won't let you save and close, but it will let you close without saving. I'd call it a bug in the form onunload event.

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. Rick. "Andrea Worley" <com> wrote in message news:com... Microsoft CRM? I've searched around and I can only find one place in Canada that does it. Anybody know of any other classes? Has anybody taking the eclasses offered by Microsoft? I'd appreciate any feedback.
