Best method for surveys in Dynamics 365 — Customer Voice vs Real-Time Marketing Form?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 33

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to decide on the best approach to send surveys and store the information for each customer inside Dynamics 365. I see two options and would love some feedback.


Option 1 — Customer Voice Survey Project

Using Customer Voice to create the survey and send it directly.

Pros:

  • Purpose-built survey tool

  • Strong analytics dashboard

  • Easy response tracking

  • Automatically links answers to Contacts

Questions:

  • Is Customer Voice still the preferred way when using Real-Time Marketing?

  • Are there limitations if I avoid Power Automate?


Option 2 — Real-Time Marketing Form (instead of Customer Voice)

Using a Real-Time Marketing form to collect responses, and sending it through a Real-Time Journey. Example https://www.ameyholden.com/articles/customer-voice-survey-variables-dynamics-365-real-time-marketing

Pros:

  • Everything stays inside RTM (no separate CV interface)

  • Forms can save data directly into a custom table

  • Can trigger follow-up journeys based on responses

  • Compatible with consent management

Questions:

  • Are RTM forms suitable for full surveys (multiple questions, ratings, etc.)?

  • Any UI/UX limitations compared to Customer Voice?

  • What’s the best way to structure a Dataverse table so each submission links back to the correct Contact (ex: lookup to Contact + lookup to Case/Registration/etc.)?

  • Does RTM provide any built-in reporting for form responses?


My goal

  • Send a satisfaction survey

  • Track a history of responses for each customer

  • Store all results inside Dataverse

  • Avoid extra Power Automate flows if possible

  • Keep everything inside Real-Time Marketing if it makes sense


If you’ve implemented either method, which approach gave you better tracking, better analytics, and easier automation?

Thanks for your help!
