Outlook Integration with Dynamics 365

Most business users respond to emails all day long. Oftentimes these emails dictate which tasks you focus on and help you to prioritize the tasks you need to work on. The main way you communicate with your customers and coworkers is email, so doesn’t it make sense that your email would be integrated with your CRM system? Toggling between disconnected programs can be very time-consuming. Our Dynamics365 App for Outlook webinar shows how the two apps work together to increase productivity throughout the workday.
