Dynamics 365 PowerPage Invites

Sending PowerPage invites in Dynamics 365 can be a time-consuming task, especially if you need to send a large number of invitations to different contacts. However, by using a workflow you can streamline this process. Workflows in Dynamics 365 allow you to automate business processes and tasks.

Then we recommend, instead of sending out a long link, like in the photo above, you click on “Insert Hyperlink” and embed the link into a smaller text.

After the “invitation=” part of the link, you will want to use the embed invitation code, so that way your invite code will auto fill in the portal for your contact.

When it’s all said and done, it should like the photo below.

Save the email step, activate, and close out of the out of the box workflow to start a new workflow that you’ll trigger on the contact record.

Create your workflow

Now, you create your new workflow by setting it as an on-demand process targeted at Contacts… (Read the full post on www.beringer.net)
