Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM
· #335 most-usedManage leads, accounts, and opportunities across your entire revenue pipeline
Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM is Microsoft's enterprise customer relationship management platform, built on the Dataverse and tightly integrated with Microsoft 365, Teams, and Azure. It unifies Sales, Customer Service, and Marketing modules so revenue teams can track leads, manage accounts, convert opportunities, and service customers from a single system of record. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can create and update leads, accounts, contacts, orders, invoices, and cases; find or create records without duplicates; respond to real-time events like new opportunities or updated orders; and orchestrate multi-step CRM workflows with other apps — all without anyone opening a browser tab.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate manual lead capture, opportunity stage updates, case creation mirroring, invoice status chasing, and cross-system account reconciliation that would otherwise require reps and ops staff to spend time in the CRM dashboard.
What your Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Inbound lead captured, qualified, and routed before the rep opens their laptop
When a prospect submits a website form, the agent checks for an existing lead, creates a clean record in Dynamics 365 with source and territory populated, notifies the rep in Slack, and schedules a 24-hour follow-up task — all before the rep's morning standup. The lead enters the pipeline complete and owned, not sitting in an unread email inbox.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.
What you do manually today
What your agent runs for you
- Sales180 min / weekManual lead entry and pipeline updates
Reps manually create lead records after every inbound inquiry, update opportunity stages after each meeting, and export pipeline data for the weekly forecast — adding 30-45 minutes of CRM admin per rep per day.
Sales Agent0 minAgent handles lead capture and stage progression automaticallyWhen a prospect submits a form or responds to an outreach, the agent creates the lead, qualifies it, and assigns it before the rep sees the notification. Stage changes happen when engagement signals fire, not when reps remember to update.
- Marketing120 min / weekManual campaign response matching
Marketing ops manually exports campaign responses, matches them to existing lead records, updates lead sources, and hands the list to sales — a process that typically takes one full day per campaign.
Marketing Agent0 minAgent matches and attributes campaign responses in Dynamics 365 automaticallyWhen a campaign response lands, the agent finds or creates the matching lead, tags it with campaign attribution, scores it, and routes it to the rep — attribution is clean and the rep is notified within about a minute of the response.
- Customer Support150 min / weekManual case creation and status mirroring
Support agents manually create case records in Dynamics 365 after each inbound email or chat, and manually update the status in both the helpdesk tool and Dynamics 365 after every resolution — duplicating effort on every ticket.
Customer Support Agent0 minAgent creates and updates cases across systems without manual inputCases are created in Dynamics 365 automatically from inbound channels. When a resolution is logged in the primary support tool, the agent updates Dynamics 365 immediately — one source of truth, no mirroring effort.
- Human Resources60 min / weekManual vendor and contractor contact maintenance
HR manually updates contact records in Dynamics 365 after every recruiter call, checks which vendor records are stale before each hiring cycle, and updates account ownership when employees leave — averaging an hour of CRM admin per week.
Human Resources Agent0 minAgent keeps HR contact and account records current automaticallyThe HR agent performs weekly vendor contact sweeps, updates contact ownership on departures, and creates new hire contact records before start dates — HR relationship data stays current with zero manual CRM sessions.
- Finance300 min / weekManual invoice and receivables tracking
Finance manually searches Dynamics 365 for overdue invoices each morning, updates statuses by hand, exports data for the AR sheet, and creates invoices for fulfilled orders one by one — a process that takes 60-90 minutes per day.
Finance Agent0 minAgent identifies, flags, and creates invoices without manual CRM workThe finance agent identifies overdue invoices each morning, updates their status, exports to the AR sheet, and creates invoices for fulfilled orders automatically — finance has a complete receivables picture before the first AR call of the day.
- Operations150 min / weekManual CRM data quality and cross-system sync
Operations manually audits Dynamics 365 weekly for missing fields, orphaned records, and accounts not reflected in downstream systems — a 2-3 hour process that is often deferred when the team is busy with operational priorities.
Operations Agent0 minAgent runs data quality sweeps and cross-system reconciliation automaticallyThe operations agent performs weekly data quality checks, flags incomplete records, and compares Dynamics 365 accounts against downstream systems — data health is maintained continuously without a dedicated weekly audit session.
- Legal120 min / weekManual compliance review scheduling for regulated accounts
Legal manually checks Dynamics 365 for regulated accounts approaching their annual compliance review date, schedules reviews with account owners, and audits invoices on sensitive accounts for contractual compliance — a 2-hour weekly process.
Legal Agent0 minAgent flags overdue compliance reviews and invoice exceptions automaticallyThe legal agent surfaces regulated accounts past their review date each Monday, flags non-compliant invoices before dispatch, and queues non-standard-terms opportunities for review — legal acts on exceptions, not on search.
