Syncing Assets with Microsoft Dynamics

  • Updated

In addition to your Marketing Lists, you can also synchronize your Act-On Forms to automatically push sign-ups into Microsoft Dynamics. You'll also be able to see Act-On emails as activity notes for your leads and contacts.

Form Sign-ups

To set Forms to automatically send data to Microsoft Dynamics:

  1. Go to Content > Forms.
  2. Create a new Form or edit an existing Form.
  3. In the Properties tab, click CRM Settings.
  4. In the Sign-ups to Microsoft Dynamics section on the left, select the check box to Push Sign-up Data.
    • Optionally, set the feature to Overwrite existing Sign-up data in Microsoft Dynamics. You can also use the corresponding Form submission list to identify specific fields that Act-On can overwrite.
    • Enable the feature to add an activity note to the submitter's record in Microsoft Dynamics.
    • Forms will use email addresses to update instead of the Microsoft Dynamics ID. If there is a duplicate email address in contacts or leads, the update will be ignored. If you have imported a Microsoft Dynamics Marketing List as your sign-up list, new records will go to whichever entity the list draws from.
  5. At the bottom right, click OK.
