Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights - Journeys
From September 1st 2023, Dynamics 365 Marketing will be known as Dynamics Customer Insights – Journeys.
This is following the news from Microsoft that D365 Marketing and D365 Customer Insights will be merged into a single brand and license, and will be known as Dynamics Customer Insights – Data and Journeys.
What is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys?
In recent years, marketing strategies have had to adapt to a changing market; moving away from traditional methods, ‘one-size-fits-all’ communications and linear buying journey. Previously, the Dynamics 365 Marketing app focused on outbound marketing and suited these activities, however, with today’s customers expecting personalised approaches, instant interactions, digital touchpoints, and much more, organisations need a more modern solution.
That’s where Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys comes in. A comprehensive marketing solution that focuses on real-time, personalised experiences.
Features of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys
Real-time marketing
Real-time marketing allows organisations to respond to customers’ actions in real-time, based on triggers, ensuring messages reach users at the right time in their journey.
- Deliver one-to-one experiences by triggering journeys at critical moments. For example, when Dynamics fields are updated, such as marking an opportunity as inactive, or when a prospect interacts with your emails
- Develop meaningful connections with your audience across email, SMS, push notifications, and even custom channels including WhatsApp
- Encourage customer action by sending timely reminders and recurring messages until they complete a certain action
Artificial Intelligence / Copilot
Leverage Copilot to assist you with everyday tasks. There are a variety of uses, such as:
- Segmentation – Use Copilot to target the right audience and build segments, by simply describing what you want to create using normal language
- Writing marketing emails – Use AI to edit and rewrite text, change the tone of voice, shorten and extend content, and more
- Image selection – Choosing images to accompany your messages can be time-consuming. Use Copilot to choose images from your library without having to spend time searching for them
- Create a journey – Simply describe in everyday words the customer journey you’d like to create, and Copilot will build the journey for you. For example, to build a journey based around an event, you could say “When a contact registers for a marketing event, send them reminder emails until they check into the event”
