Configuring Shared Mailbox Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online and Exchange Online

Many of us have sent emails to support team for any issue related to any product, services etc. Business has their dedicated or shared customer support that respond to the customer queries through emails, phone, fax etc. 


Business asks you to design customer support for their product and services. Business will provide a support email to all there valuable customers. Customers will send queries and concerns on this support email. That will be queued in Microsoft Dynamics CRM and assigned to dedicated members of a team (round robin) for handling requests and respond to customer's email with a solution or escalate the issue further. In the entire process the employee/members can send email through their individual mailbox or by support mailbox.

  1. Do you know of an easy way to automatically set the from address to be the shared email address instead of the user? Currently we are having issues with that as we want all responses to come from the shared email address without having to click several times on each response to make sure that its form the queue and not the user.

  4. Hi

    Everything works fine up to "Send Email To Shared Mailbox".

    I'm in the Share queue created however I don't see any email. Where do I see email you've mentioned under heading "Track Send Email In Shared Queue"?

    Thanks

  5. I've figured out, Queue items are now being created but they're Inactive.

    What could be the reason? Any idea?

  6. Hi, thanks for writing this article and sharing your knowledge with us.
    Personally, I use Microsoft Dynamics erp system to manage my company and it used to work very well. Unfortunately, recently it started to crash every few weeks. I tried to contact the dynamics 365 support but haven't heard from them yet. I really hope they can fix this soon.

  9. Hi Abhishek,

    Am I right in thinking that this configuration is not supported for CRM on premise and exchange on premise?

    Thanks,
