Maximize Marketing Impact with Entity Reference Triggers in Dynamics 365!

Custom triggers in Dynamics 365 Marketing have been revolutionizing user experiences by providing real-time responsiveness. These triggers have now been enhanced with the inclusion of specific row references called 'Entity references', taking the functionality to a new level. This advancement allows users to include a wealth of related information across multiple levels of data with relative ease.

A custom trigger is designed to enable automatic actions within customer journeys based on specific data changes or events. To implement these triggers effectively, no coding is required; users can simply utilize a flow-based approach for a seamless experience. Moreover, Ami Diamond shares insights in a previous blog post about creating these triggers without the need for developers, keeping the process accessible.

The newly introduced 'Entity Reference' attribute type streamlines the process of assigning data to triggers by bundling an entire record and its associated data conveniently. This simplifies the setup procedure for marketers and allows for a more dynamic and responsive marketing experience. In essence, 'Entity references' provide a robust method for marketing automation, with references to a specific row rather than an entire table entity.

For example, when customers receive their orders, real-time marketing can be employed to request feedback or measure their Net Promoter Score (NPS). Custom triggers can be used to send personalized surveys, significantly reducing the need for manual data entry, thus saving time. The integration of an order entity reference within a trigger can unlock various personalization and targeting possibilities in marketing journeys and emails.

  • Send different email content based on the order's delivery country
  • Customize the email sign-off depending on the salesperson or account owner
  • Delay marketing journeys based on delivery dates and order values
