Configure who knows whom

The Who knows whom feature helps your sales organization quickly identify colleagues who can introduce them to leads or contacts, based on their interactions through emails and meetings. Configure the feature to select an email template to use for introductions.

Note

• Who knows whom isn't available in all regions. Learn whether who knows whom is available in your region.
• For Office 365 data, your organization's data location must be in one of the following locations and not in your region-specific datacenter location:
  • Global Geography 1 – EMEA (Austria, Finland, France, Ireland, Netherlands)
  • Global Geography 2 – Asia Pacific (Hong Kong SAR, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea).
  • Global Geography 3 – Americas (Brazil, Chile, United States).
    To learn more on data center locations, see Data Center Locations.

2. Under Relationship insights, select Who Knows Whom.

Next steps

• Work with your Microsoft 365 admin to provide consent to use Exchange data.

  Make sure to get consent within 14 days of turning on the relationship intelligence features. Otherwise, who knows whom will be automatically turned off on the 14th day. However, you'll continue to get the out-of-the-box who knows whom information from Dynamics 365 data.

• If you'd like roles other than Salesperson and Sales Manager to access the who knows whom information, grant access to those roles.

• Add relationship intelligence widgets to custom forms if your organization is using a custom sales app or a custom form for leads or contacts.

Can't find the options in your app?

There are three possibilities:

• You don't have the necessary license or role.

• Your administrator hasn't turned on the feature.

• Your organization is using a custom app. Check with your administrator for exact steps. The steps described in this article are specific to the out-of-the-box apps such as, the Sales Hub or Sales Professional app.
