Emails and tracking appointments

Posted on by 55

Hi everyone - we are relatively new to the CRM and my sales staffer had a great question that I am 95% sure of the answer but wanted a little backup. If someone setups up an appointment in Outlook and adds a person to the apt and we have an email for them on their record - do they receive notification of the apt that was created? Or when does CRM send an email out to people if an email address is on file? Hopefully never but we will see!

Thanks!

    To answer your question of how to make sure SSS is off, you could first test on one user by updating the mailbox configuration to use Outlook for appointments and contacts sync.

    Once you confirmed its working for one user, you can then update all the users with similar config by finding all the mailboxes using advance find and doing a bulk edit to update the settings

    We have Server Side for Appointments, Contacts and Tasks, I added my gmail to the invite to test and I haven't seen anything through (sent about 20m ago). We are trying to track the appointment to a specific record but don't want that user to receive an invite. Thanks for any help!

    Yes, I believe they would like them to be in outlook but also show on the person's record in the CRM. How can I ensure Server Side Sync is off?

    If you use server side sync to sync appointments to Dynamics 365, it will send invites automatically. If you use Outlook to sync appointments, CRM should not send auto invites as outlook normally handles invites in this scenario. When you create an appointment in outlook are you planning to track that in CRM?
