Microsoft Dynamics 365 is a set of tools for managing sales, marketing, finance, communications and other business processes. Microsoft offers a whole ecosystem, which includes various products for specialized tasks. Dynamics 365 features wide functionality and allows you to create customized management systems for the needs of a particular business. It is also worth noting the effective integration of Dynamics 365 with other products from Microsoft.

The CRM core of the Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform offers a full range of tools for working with clients and supporting transactions. Promotion of a lead through the sales funnel, tracking the history of interactions, organizing collaboration, monitoring the success of employees, analyzing and planning sales — this is not a complete list of tasks that can be solved using the Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM system.

Consider a situation where a company uses Facebook as one of its lead generation channels. This is a common case, since a social network with a billion audience is an effective platform for attracting customers. The Facebook Lead Ads tool allows you to receive applications and contacts using lead forms. It is important to remember that generated leads need to be processed quickly. Order data must be uploaded and transferred to the CRM system (in our case, this is Microsoft Dynamics 365). This should be done regularly so as not to lose the lead and start processing it as quickly as possible.
