Marketing and sales can only move fast when they’re working from the same information. When your marketing automation platform (MAP) and Dynamics CRM operate as two separate systems, activity gets duplicated, data falls out of sync, and teams end up working with different versions of the truth. Even with custom APIs or middleware in place, maintaining sync becomes an ongoing project. A native integration eliminates that problem at the source. Native connectivity means marketing activity, scoring, and engagement flow into Dynamics automatically. No manual exports. No data stitching. No chasing down missing fields. And when the CRM is the single […]
Marketers have a lot going on. Email inboxes are packed, social feeds are crowded, and ad costs keep climbing. Amid all that noise, one channel remains surprisingly underused yet incredibly effective: SMS. Text message marketing is direct, fast, and highly visible. If you want to connect in real time and cut through the clutter, it’s time to give SMS the attention it deserves.

Modern reporting gives public sector organizations a clearer view of how residents interact with email updates, SMS alerts, social posts, and program messaging. It also creates a documented record that supports transparency and accountability across departments. When teams can track performance with confidence, they make better […]
Email metrics look simple. You send a campaign, see an open rate, and make decisions based on what the dashboard tells you. In today’s privacy-first landscape, it isn’t that straightforward anymore. Apple MPP, security filters, and bot activity can trigger tracking pixels without a real person ever seeing your message. That means open rates often look better than they truly are. For teams working inside Microsoft Dynamics, clean and trustworthy data matters. Your lead scoring, workflows, and reporting all rely on accurate activity. If the data is inflated or incomplete, decisions get harder and follow-ups […]
As a business owner, you’ve invested in a CRM to organize customer relationships. But if your marketing campaigns still feel like guesswork, the issue might be your data strategy. The missing link is often the quality and structure of the data inside your CRM. Most CRMs excel at tracking sales activities, but marketing automation requires different information.
