If you're considering a switch from Salesforce to Microsoft, you probably have some questions. For instance, what should you consider from a business planning perspective to ensure your transition is as hassle free as possible?
This great solution allows Dynamics 365 users to quickly view the last completed activity, along with the time and date stamp of that activity. Having this information available directly on the entity records enables users to quickly see the last time anyone in CRM has reached out to the record and what type of interaction it was.
Last activity can be viewed on:
Additionally, users can pull advanced finds and reports off of these two fields. For example, a user could set-up a dashboard in CRM for all cases that have been open for more than seven days and have not been touched in the last two days. They can then have processes to make sure those cases are being followed-up properly. Another great example of utilizing the PowerLastActivity fields is a workflow that emails record owners when their records haven’t been followed-up with in the past week, month or year. The possibilities are truly endless.
The first step in getting started with any managed solution in Microsoft Dynamics 365 is to import the solution under the Solution section in D365, as shown below.
Once the import has completed, double-click on the PowerPack solution you just imported from the solutions list in D365. This will open the configuration screen of the PowerPack solution, where you can select if you'd like to register for a 30-day free trial or subscribe to the add-on.
Under the General section, fill in the required information, including your communication preferences, and click Submit under the “Profile” tab of the form.
In order to successfully register and use a PowerPack Solution, you will need to agree to the terms of our License Agreement, Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. Please note, declining the terms of use will stop all PowerPack functionality.

Some PowerPack solutions require connections back to your CRM environment to process data from our cloud. If your PowerPack requires this connection, you’ll see fields for service user username and password. If that is the case, please input credentials of a user that has, at minimum, the Powerxxx Service User security role assigned. This security role includes the minimum level of access this user needs in order for the add-on to function properly.
Note: This user cannot have two-factor or multi-factor authentication turned on.
For information on using the solution please refer to the corresponding user guide.
All of the add-ons are constantly being enhanced with awesome new features, so it's always a good idea for users to make sure their PowerPack add-on are up-to-date.
