Can we use Social Engagement with Microsoft Dynamics CRM?
Yes!! While Social Engagement is a very effective standalone solution, you can also easily add valuable social data and insight within Microsoft Dynamics CRM—on dashboards or on any forms, like Accounts or Campaigns. You can add your social data to Microsoft Dynamics Marketing dashboards as well.
Social media is a large part of branding and marketing strategies for companies of all sizes today. Dynamics CRM gives you the ability to manage your customer’s journey from end-to-end and this further expands your capabilities to include the social aspect of that journey inside Dynamics CRM.
