Existing contacts receive a marketing email containing a <strong>Request a Demo<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n<p>When they click the &#8220;Request a Demo&#8221; button, they are expressing interest in learning more about the product. Traditionally, marketing teams might need to review submissions and manually create lead records for the sales team. This process can introduce delays and ultimately increase the risk of missing potential opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>With <strong>Record Creation (Preview)<\/strong>, the journey can automatically create a <strong>Lead<\/strong> record as soon as the contact clicks the <strong>&#8220;Request a Demo&#8221;<\/strong> link. The lead is populated with relevant customer information, enabling the sales team to initiate the qualification process promptly.<\/p>\n<h3>What is Record Creation (Preview)?<\/h3>\n<p>Record Creation (Preview) is a journey action that enables Customer Insights \u2013 Journeys to automatically create records in Microsoft Dataverse when customers meet predefined conditions or perform specific actions within a journey.<\/p>\n<p>The feature supports both standard and custom Dataverse tables, enabling organizations to automate a wide range of business processes without requiring additional automation tools.<\/p>\n<p>Some common use cases include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating leads from demo requests.<\/li>\n<li>Creating cases from support requests.<\/li>\n<li>Generating follow-up tasks for sales representatives.<\/li>\n<li>Creating custom business records.<\/li>\n<li>Automating internal business processes triggered by customer interactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let us continue our business scenario.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A contact receives a marketing email.<\/li>\n<li>The contact clicks the <strong>&#8220;Request a Demo&#8221;<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<li>The contact enters a journey.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Create a Record (Preview)<\/strong> action is triggered.<\/li>\n<li>A Lead record is automatically created in Dynamics 365 Sales. Along with a Phone Call activity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This automation ensures that interested prospects are immediately captured and routed to the sales team for timely engagement.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Create a Journey<\/h3>\n<p>Navigate to Customer Insights \u2013 Journeys and create a new journey.<\/p>\n<p>Configure the journey entry point based on the customer interaction you want to track. Once the trigger is configured, define the customer path within the journey designer.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Add the Record Creation (Preview) Action<\/h3>\n<p>After configuring the trigger, select the <strong>&#8220;+&#8221;<\/strong> icon within the journey canvas and add the <strong>Create a Record (Preview)<\/strong> action.<\/p>\n<p>This action will automatically create a Dataverse record when the customer reaches this stage of the journey.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45440\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 1px; margin: 1px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Automating-Record-Creation-Preview-feature-in-Dynamics-365-Customer-Insights-\u2013-Journeys-2.jpg\" alt=\"How to Automate Record Creation (Preview) in Dynamics 365 Customer Insights\" width=\"1587\" height=\"743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Automating-Record-Creation-Preview-feature-in-Dynamics-365-Customer-Insights-\u2013-Journeys-2.jpg 1587w, https:\/\/www.inogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Automating-Record-Creation-Preview-feature-in-Dynamics-365-Customer-Insights-\u2013-Journeys-2-300x140.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.inogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Automating-Record-Creation-Preview-feature-in-Dynamics-365-Customer-Insights-\u2013-Journeys-2-1024x479.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.inogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Automating-Record-Creation-Preview-feature-in-Dynamics-365-Customer-Insights-\u2013-Journeys-2-768x360.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.inogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Automating-Record-Creation-Preview-feature-in-Dynamics-365-Customer-Insights-\u2013-Journeys-2-1536x719.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.inogic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Automating-Record-Creation-Preview-feature-in-Dynamics-365-Customer-Insights-\u2013-Journeys-2-660x309.jpg 660w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1587px) 100vw, 1587px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Journey Designer with Record Creation (Preview) Action<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Journey Designer provides a visual representation of the customer experience.
