What is the connection between Dynamics 365 and Outlook?

Salespeople live in their inboxes. If the CRM is to contain what has been said to the customer, it must be recorded where they already are — otherwise, it won't get done.

App for Outlook is the interface

An add-in that displays Dynamics 365 information in Outlook. From there, the salesperson can view the customer, create a follow-up, and link the email to the relevant case or sales opportunity without leaving the inbox.

Server-side synchronization is the engine

The actual transfer between Exchange and Dynamics 365 takes place on the server, not in the Outlook client. This means that synchronization continues even when the computer is turned off, and that it works the same way on mobile devices and the web.

What this means in practice

Emails and meetings are linked to the right customer, and the next person who takes over can see the entire conversation. This continuity means the customer does not have to explain everything again.
