Limitations & technical notes
Frequently asked questions
What does IT Partner’s Salesforce + Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Integration service include?
IT Partner’s Salesforce + Dynamics 365 Sales Integration connects Salesforce with Dynamics 365 Sales for bi-directional CRM data synchronization, cross-platform workflow automation, unified Power BI reporting, and AI-powered insights using Dynamics 365 Copilot with Salesforce data. The service includes configuration for key CRM object sync, Azure Logic Apps integration, field mapping with conflict resolution, security controls, and data consolidation in Dataverse for Copilot analysis.
Which Salesforce and Dynamics 365 objects are synchronized?
The service enables bi-directional sync for core CRM objects including Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Activities. Field-level mapping is configured with timestamp-based conflict resolution, and critical objects such as Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities are mapped with field-level precision.
Does the integration support bi-directional synchronization between Salesforce and Dynamics 365 Sales?
Yes, the service is designed to support bi-directional CRM data sync between Salesforce and Dynamics 365 Sales. This helps keep customer data aligned across both CRMs so sales teams can work from more consistent account, contact, opportunity, and activity information.
Can the integration automate workflows across Salesforce and Dynamics 365 Sales?
Yes, IT Partner configures automated workflow triggers between Salesforce and Dynamics 365 Sales using an Azure Logic Apps integration layer. An example in scope is a Dynamics opportunity update triggering Salesforce task creation, and the service supports automated follow-ups when deals progress in either system.
How does the service support Power BI reporting?
The service enables unified reporting by combining Salesforce and Dynamics 365 Sales data sources in Power BI. This supports cross-platform CRM analytics for RevOps, sales leadership, and organizations that need a consolidated view across both CRM systems.
How are AI-powered insights enabled with Salesforce and Dynamics 365 Sales data?
AI-powered insights are enabled by consolidating CRM data in Dataverse before analysis with Dynamics 365 Copilot. For large datasets above 50,000 records, Azure Synapse is used for large-scale processing before Copilot analysis.
What Microsoft security controls are included in the integration?
The service applies Microsoft security controls including Azure Entra ID Conditional Access for CRM logins and Azure Key Vault encryption for sync data. It also supports field-level security using Azure Entra ID attribute-based access control, helping organizations protect access to sensitive CRM information.
What are the prerequisites for this Salesforce and Dynamics 365 Sales integration?
Prerequisites include Salesforce Enterprise or Unlimited with API access, Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise with admin rights, Azure Logic Apps Standard tier, and Dataverse storage capacity for AI processing. Azure Logic Apps Premium is required if custom connectors are needed. The client should also provide required administrative access, approved service accounts or app registrations, object and field documentation, business owners for decisions, test users, and required licensing and Azure capacity.
Are custom Salesforce or Dynamics 365 objects included in the integration?
Custom objects may be supported, but the service notes that custom objects require middleware transformation. Because complexity depends on the object model, field structure, and business logic, custom object requirements should be confirmed during scoping with IT Partner.
How does IT Partner handle data conflicts between Salesforce and Dynamics 365 Sales?
IT Partner configures field matching with timestamp-based conflict resolution. This means the integration design uses timestamps to help determine how conflicting updates between the two CRMs should be handled, based on the scoped mapping rules.
How are Salesforce and Dynamics API limits handled?
The integration layer includes error handling for stated API limits: Salesforce at 15,000 API calls per day and Dynamics at 60,000 API calls per day. IT Partner implements this within Azure Logic Apps so the integration can better manage API constraints during synchronization and workflow execution.
What happens during the implementation engagement?
The engagement typically includes data mapping, Azure Logic Apps integration layer deployment, security configuration, and AI enhancement setup. IT Partner configures field matching and conflict resolution, deploys dual CRM connectors, applies Entra ID Conditional Access and Azure Key Vault encryption, consolidates data in Dataverse, and uses Azure Synapse for large datasets over 50,000 records.
Is downtime expected during the Salesforce and Dynamics 365 Sales integration?
The service description does not specify a required downtime window. Because the work involves CRM connectors, data sync, security configuration, and reporting setup, any expected business impact or cutover approach should be confirmed with IT Partner during project scoping.
Who is responsible for what during the integration project?
IT Partner is responsible for connecting Salesforce and Dynamics 365 Sales, configuring object sync, workflow triggers, field mapping, Power BI reporting enablement, Entra ID security controls, Azure Key Vault encryption, Dataverse consolidation, and Synapse processing for large datasets. The client is typically responsible for providing required access, service account or app registration approvals, CRM data and process knowledge, mapping decisions, test users, UAT, licensing, compliance requirements, and go-live approvals.
How long does the Salesforce + Dynamics 365 Sales Integration take?
The service duration varies by project. Timeline is customized after scoping because implementation effort depends on factors such as object mapping, workflow complexity, custom connector needs, data volume, security requirements, and reporting requirements.
How is pricing determined for this integration service?
Pricing is hourly / time-and-materials with no fixed price by default. Final billing estimates and timeline are scoped per project because the required effort can vary based on CRM configuration, custom objects, middleware transformation needs, workflow automation, Power BI reporting, security controls, and AI/data processing requirements.
What is not included in the Salesforce + Dynamics 365 Sales Integration service?
Unless specifically included in the final statement of work, exclusions typically include product licensing and Azure consumption, major CRM redesign, bulk data cleanup or deduplication, historical data migration, complex custom object transformation, custom connector or middleware development, advanced Power BI dashboard development, end-user training, change management, and formal compliance certification. Ongoing managed support, 24/7 support, continuous monitoring, SLA-backed operations, incident response, ongoing maintenance, and long-term integration administration are not included by default; they are available as optional extra-cost add-ons delivered through IT Partner's NOC, third-party support partnerships, and a Microsoft Premier Support agreement.
What happens after the integration is completed?
After completion, the expected outcome is a configured Salesforce and Dynamics 365 Sales integration supporting bi-directional object sync, automated cross-platform triggers, Power BI reporting, Microsoft security controls, and Copilot-ready consolidated data. Standard handoff may include configuration notes, mapping documentation, test evidence, deployment summary, basic monitoring guidance, and optional administrator knowledge transfer when included in scope. Ongoing support, 24/7 support, continuous monitoring, or ongoing maintenance can be covered by optional paid add-ons delivered through IT Partner's NOC, third-party support partnerships, and a Microsoft Premier Support agreement if required.
