Integration between Dynamics 365 CRM and Microsoft Teams in Wave 2 Release

By | September 19, 2019

Introduction

In this blog we will see how we can directly collaborate with Dynamics 365 CRM entity records from Microsoft Teams in  Dynamics 365 CRM Wave 2.

Note: Files will be synced between Dynamics 365 CRM and Microsoft Teams.

Scenario:

For example, we usually do meetings with clients on Teams. Here, whenever we had call with any clients and had to add Teams conversations to an Account in CRM, we were first required to note it down and then update it in our CRM. But now it is very easy to manage. We can directly connect to Dynamics 365 CRM from Microsoft Teams.

Earlier Dynamics 365 CRM supported only basic collaboration with Teams but now in Wave 2 release Enhanced collaboration with Teams is also supported.

Now, let us see how to integrate Dynamics 365 CRM to Microsoft Teams.

Basic Collaboration with Teams 

1. First sign in as a System administrator to Dynamics 365 CRM for Customer Engagement apps.

2. Go to SettingsAdministration > System Settings > General

3. Enable BasicMicrosoft Teams Integration.

4. Open Teams channel and click on plus button.

Here, in my case Sales Team is a Microsoft Team to which I want to collaborate. After collaboration, it will create Team site for SharePoint in the background. General is Team channel (For this, folder will be created in SharePoint inside Team site which you already collaborated).

    Hi,

    I am getting the following error:

    Error Caught while processing the ExecuteInstallApp request.Conflict

    in the third step of “Collaborate with Microsoft Teams” while clicking the collaborate button in Microsoft Dynamics 365.

    Thanks,

      Hi,

      We tried multiple ways to replicate the issue but weren’t able to replicate it on our end. The error must be occurring due to the system trying to install multiple apps at the same time and it is not letting the Collaboration work.

      We would like to suggest you re-collaborate it and prior to that check SharePoint Integration is working with D365.

      Let us know if this helps you.

      Thanks!

    Despite of having access to CRM as well as MS Teams, while selecting the environment/org, few users are getting an error ” You don’t have the rights to access this service.”
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    1. Inogic

      Hi Kumar,

      This error could occur maybe because the users are selecting the environment to which they don’t have access. Please make sure that the users are selecting the appropriate environment.

      Hope this helps your query,
      Thanks
