In this blog, we discuss how to leverage our PowerSMS PowerPack add-on to create a Custom Channel Tile for Dynamics 365 Marketing.
Add an extra layer of security to your CRM system by logging and tracking your users' frequent login locations.
It’s becoming increasingly common for workforces to be spread out through the country, if not the world. How do administrators know who’s accessing their CRM? With PowerGeoLog, login IP addresses and geolocation (latitude/longitude) will be recorded within Dynamics 365. Alert users when they login from an unfamiliar location and allow them to whitelist the location if it’s a safe and common location. The PowerGeoLog notifications of new logins help users identify if their credentials have been compromised earlier. Within CRM, users can see the logins plotted on a map - PowerMap subscribers can add logins to their maps as well.
Solution Requirements:
Any Online or on-premise implementation of:
CRM 2015
CRM 2016
Dynamics 365
The first step in getting started with any managed solution in Microsoft Dynamics CRM is to import the solution under the Solution section of CRM. To navigate to this section, you would simply go to Settings > Solutions > Select the Import button from the ribbon. This will prompt a dialog box that will walk you through the import process, which is shown below.
Once the import has completed, double-click on the PowerPack solution you just imported from the solutions list in CRM. 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, once you have completed the form select the “Submit” button which is located 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.
Learn more about our updated Terms of Use.
Some PowerPacks 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.
Updating an add-on is quick and easy! Simply follow these 5 steps:
