Overview
The Microsoft Dynamics 365 Connector empowers you to build flexible Smartsheet workflows that ensure data alignment across platforms, seamless handoffs, and the automated sharing of key customer information between teams at your organization. With this Microsoft Dynamics 365 Connector Configuration service, we will configure a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Connector solution starting with creating a new sheet or modifying an existing sheet to be synced with your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Connector capability. We then guide you in the setup of a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Connector workflow to import or export data to/from your sheet. Your solution also includes a report to summarize relevant data. This package is ideal if you need training and support in the configuration of your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Connector capability, including setting up your workflows.

Preparing for the Engagement:
Prior to Kick off:
- Work with your Microsoft Dynamics System Administrator to establish the initial connection between Smartsheet and your Microsoft Dynamics instance. Follow the steps outlined in this help article. Note: Completing this step prior to kickoff will allow us to get started quickly. This is a required step before you can begin using the connector.
- Identify your Key Decision Maker and Solution Admin
- Your Key Decision Maker is the individual who ultimately approves the solution design process and functionality. The Solution Admin is the person who will own the maintenance and make updates post-release.
- Internally align on your business goals and the objective of this engagement.
- Gather relevant materials that outline your current process; examples could include process or requirements documents and/or templates.
- Come prepared to discuss your timeline. Understanding your dependencies, constraints, and preferred go-live dates will allow us to work together to formulate a plan.
- Explore Smartsheet University, Onboarding Videos, and Smartsheet Help to strengthen your knowledge of the platform. Reach out to your Account Team for more information and access.
