Did you know you can make and receive phone calls directly from Dynamics 365 CRM?

Summary

Dynamics 365 CRM holds detailed contact information about your customers. With the correct setup and configuration, it is possible to call a customer directly from Dynamics 365 CRM, simply by clicking on the phone icon.

Alternatively, if the customer phones you, the Dynamics 365 system recognises the incoming call, and tells you who is calling you.

How is this possible?

A small piece of software will need to be installed, which links Dynamics 365 to your telephone system.

There are a whole host of telephony integration providers who link up with Dynamics 365. It is just a question of finding the one to suit your existing telephony solution (assuming you have one).

Here are a few example phone systems that can integrate with many of the software solutions available:

The Microsoft Solution – Microsoft Teams

Let’s have a look at how the Microsoft Teams phone system integrates with Dynamics 365 CRM.

If you are using Microsoft Teams as your phone system, then an outgoing call would pop up in a box on the right of your screen:

Incoming calls will display the person’s name if the phone number is recognised by the Dynamics 365 system.

From here you can answer and connect to the incoming call.
