Problem Area:

When using Dynamics 365 for Customer Service, a very common scenario is:

  • Support Mailbox (support@mycompany.com) has been configured as Queue
  • All emails (for New Cases as well as existing Cases) are received in to this Queue
  • Cases are automatically getting created from emails
  • Support Team keeps a constant check on any new emails received in to this Queue!

Screenshot of emails list as shown in the Queue:

Few pain points of reading emails from Queue:

  • Multiple clicks needed to view details(email message, attachments, sent/received date, etc) of email
  • Even more clicks needed to view the images inline in opened email
  • On clicking any email record, the Email form opens in same window. On closing, you are taken back to start of the list in Queue – So need to scroll all the way to find the last email (that you were referring)

Solution:

With Zap Objects – Email Reader App’s latest (Jan 2020) feature “Email Reading pane for emails in Queues”, you can drastically improve this User-Experience.

Below screenshot shows, “Email Reader” added to Queues:

The reading pane allows easy viewing of email details…
You can browse through all emails in Queue without the need to open each Email activity record!

Further, you could use 1-Click buttons to perform following actions on the selected emails:

  • Delete any email activity record
  • Release emails from Queue
  • Route emails to Any other Queue

Details about Zap Email Reader App:

Zap Email Reader App provides Outlook-like interface to read emails within Dynamics 365 CE/CRM forms. The reading pane allows easy reading of the email contents without the need to open up each email record!
The “Email Reader” could be added to any entity form (eg Account / Contact / Case form…etc) or even to Dashboard to view Users/Teams emails. Besides for “email reader” being shown in entity form, you could even configure from which all child entities the emails need to be rolled up!
