Colin Maitland, 04 April 2017

In this video demonstrate how to configure Server Side Synchronization, Queues, and Automatic Record Creation and Update Rules for processing and converting Email Messages to Cases in Dynamics 365 for Customer Service.

For the purposes of this video demonstration, an online trial of Dynamics 365 for Service is used and Gmail, instead of Microsoft Exchange, is used. This video also demonstrates an alternate approach for the configuration of Auto-Response Email Messages that provides the ability to avoid auto-response email loops.
