Create automated email notification when your incoming emails stops synchronizing in your Dynamics CRM

Awesome!!

Debajit's Dynamic CRM Blog

First let me explain the requirement here. Our client had set up server side sync for incoming email synchronization. There is one support mailbox to which end-users sends email. Once the email comes to support mailbox, the email is forwarded to CRM at every specified interval. And once it comes inside CRM, it is assigned to some queue.

But one regular problem that our customer is facing that email synchronization stops due to mailbox errors or some other issues related to our async service and then it does not get caught unless some support user complains that customers have already sent an email, but the email does not appear in his queue.

MS CRM Configuration Data Mover tool

A frequent challenge when working with Dynamics CRM is making sure that configuration data like teams and queues have the same record GUIDs in all of a project’s different environments for development, testing and production.

Without identical GUIDs, any processes, scripts or other customizations that reference a record’s id will have to be changed between environments, and this is risky because it means you’re running a solution in production that’s different than what was actually tested in a lower environment.

I never find a good title to explain my blog post. So I would rather suggest you read through my entire post even if blog title seems absolutely non-sense .
