Automating Customer Job Notifications with Dynamics 365 and Azure

Connecting Job Data to Customers with Dynamics 365 and Azure

The requirement was not simply to move information between systems. The integration needed to connect job updates with customer communication preferences and support timely, personalized notifications.

Automating Customer Job Notifications with Dynamics 365 and Azure

Client & Business Context

Instant Products had job information stored within its Syrinx SQL Server environment. The business needed this information to flow into Dynamics 365 so that customer communications could be triggered from current job data.

Company : Instant Products

Industry: Business Operations / Field Service
Solution Category: Dynamics 365 Integration & Customer Communication Automation
Project Status: In Progress
Proof Point: Automated retrieval and synchronization of new or updated job records

The Business Problem

Job information was being maintained in the Syrinx SQL Server system, while Dynamics 365 was being used as the destination for customer and job-related processes.

Without an automated connection between these systems, keeping job information synchronized and communicating updates to customers could require manual intervention.

The key requirements were to:

  • Retrieve new and updated job records automatically.

  • Synchronize job information with Dynamics 365.

  • Use current job details when creating customer notifications.

  • Respect customer contact preferences.

  • Support both email and SMS communication.

  • Reduce the manual effort involved in customer communication.

Business Impact of the Existing Process

The integration was designed to reduce manual communication work while keeping job and customer information synchronized across the connected systems.

It also provides greater visibility into job information and creates a more consistent process for communicating updates to customers.

The available project evidence supports qualitative improvements in:

  • Data accuracy
  • System integration
  • User productivity
  • Manual effort
  • Customer communication visibility

The Sky Soft Connections Solution

SkySoft developed an automated integration that connects the client’s Syrinx SQL Server environment with Dynamics 365.

Automated Job Synchronization
New or updated job records are retrieved from SQL Server and synchronized with Dynamics 365.

Data Transformation
Azure Logic Apps retrieve and transform the source job information before it enters the Dynamics 365 process.

Personalized Notifications
Notification content can be generated dynamically using relevant job information.

Contact Preference Handling
The workflow supports communication according to customer contact preferences.

Email and SMS Communication
The architecture supports customer updates through email and SMS delivery services.

The integration follows a straightforward system-to-system flow:

Technology & Integration Architecture

Microsoft Power Automate

The integration follows a straightforward system-to-system flow:

Syrinx SQL Server → Azure Logic Apps → Dynamics 365 → Power Automate → Email & SMS

How the flow works

  1. Syrinx SQL Server stores the job information.
  2. Azure Logic Apps retrieve new or updated records.
  3. Job information is transformed and synchronized into Dynamics 365.
  4. Power Automate processes the relevant information and triggers communication workflows.
  5. Customers receive personalized email or SMS notifications based on job details and contact preferences.

Implementation Highlights

  1. Automated Job Data Retrieval

The integration automatically retrieves new and updated job records from the Syrinx SQL Server environment.

  1. Data Transformation and Synchronization

Azure Logic Apps process the source data and synchronize the relevant job information into Dynamics 365.

  1. Workflow-Based Communication

Power Automate connects synchronized job information with automated customer communication workflows.

  1. Personalized Customer Updates

Notifications can pull in dynamic job details and update over time, so recipients get timely, specific information rather than one-size-fits.

 

5. Contact Preference Support

 

The notification process is designed to use customer communication preferences when determining how updates are delivered.

  1. Multi-Channel Notifications

The architecture supports both email and SMS communication, allowing customer updates to be delivered through the appropriate channel.

Results & Current Outcomes

The solution currently supports the following outcomes:

  • Automated retrieval of new and updated job records.
  • Automated synchronization between the Syrinx SQL Server environment and Dynamics 365.
  • Dynamic customer notifications based on job information.
  • Communication workflows based on customer contact preferences.
  • Reduced reliance on manual customer communication processes.
  • Improved visibility and consistency across connected job and customer information.
