Leveraging other applications

Leveraging Customer Engagement with other business applications further enhances its value

Making the most out of your Datahaven 365 Customer Engagement implementation requires that everyone who needs to work with documents, email, and other electronic content have access to what they need. Sometimes, unstructured content relates to a transaction or other record in another business application such as CRM / Customer Engagement or to a channel in a communication and collaboration application such as Microsoft Teams.

You could purchase each user a full license to Customer Engagement and a full license to CRM / Customer Engagement and require them to search out the unstructured content in each. But that would be cost-prohibitive from a licensing standpoint, not to mention horribly inefficient.

Datahaven 365 enables Customer Engagement users to interact with documents, emails, and electronic files from the Customer Engagement interface even though this unstructured content is linked to records in other systems such as CRM and Teams.

With Datahaven, most of these document interactions can occur without incurring the expense of a full license to use these other systems.

 

For example, your sales staff in CRM can see posted invoices from Business Central or Finance & Operations displayed on the customer account record in CRM without a full ERP license. Similarly, your receivables staff can view a customer agreement from Business Central or Finance & Operations even though the agreement may have been saved originally in CRM.

Document Distribution

Document Distribution for

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement

The Datahaven 365 Customer Engagement document distribution solutions deliver everything your organization needs to distribute documents, archived email messages, and other electronic content related to transactions and other records in Customer Engagement.


Your organization can configure these outbound document distribution process to occur based on a user initiating the process or having the process automatically initiated on certain conditions such as saving changes to a transaction so you can ensure that the correct files are sent each time to the correct email address, including personalized covering emails. 

Datahaven 365 supports the use of email templates (with or without pre-defined transaction data) to send an email attachment of the PDF archive of a transaction. Additional document attachments such as design documents, terms and conditions, and statements can be programmatically attached separately or combined into a single attachment.


Datahaven automatically stores the outbound email and its attachments, programmatically names and files the email, and links it to the related Customer Engagement record. By automatically linking the outbound email, the email is tracked in the Datahaven audit trail and is accessible from Datahaven’s patented, virtual folder structure embedded throughout Customer Engagement.

Document Approval

Document Routing & Approval Workflow for

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement

As your organization grows, complex document processes will become more difficult to manage because there are more people and a higher transaction volume. The problem is only made worse as the workforce becomes more distributed and more people work from home.

 

Automating your document-centric business rules addresses all of these challenges.

Datahaven 365 is powered by a fully-configurable workflow engine that enables document-centric business processes to be driven by specific user actions (e.g., updating a quote) and by automated business logic (e.g., routing a quote because its total exceeds a configurable threshold allowance).

Leveraging Datahaven 365 document-centric workflows with Power Automate

Datahaven 365 can be further leveraged with Power Automate.

By leveraging Datahaven with Power Automate, you can use Power Automate to build no-code workflows that cause document-centric events to occur in Datahaven or data-centric events (adding/modifying data) in an application based on document-centric actions that occur in Datahaven.

Increase efficiency

Apply exception-based handling so that your workforce uses their time more efficiently, allocate resources programmatically where needed to alleviate bottlenecks, and avoid document-centric processes in Customer Engagement being delayed during vacations

Reduce human error

Reduce errors and enforce policies by blocking users from updating Customer Engagement records through the enforcement of conditional business rules that combine document-centric rules with Customer Engagement data

Maximize flexibility

Approve documents from inside of Customer Engagement or from any email client on any device, define routing rules by amount or date, when the document was captured, and/or how long the document has been sitting in a queue, and apply sophisticated concepts such as a Delegation of Authority matrix and segregation of duties

Enhance visibility

Enable a Customer Engagement user access to the complete set of data and documents from any application, including Business Central, Finance & Operations, Teams, and Power Apps and provide managers with access to a consolidated view of the document workload across a department or across the entire organization
