Connect Microsoft Dynamics 365 to Yammer

 

Applies To: Dynamics 365 (online), Dynamics CRM 2016, Dynamics CRM Online

Note

The information provided here is for versions of Dynamics 365 prior to Dynamics 365 (online), version 9.0. For the latest documentation, see Connect to Yammer.

Yammer gives colleagues at your organization a central place to have conversations, create and edit documents, and share information without sending a single email or attending any meetings.

After you set up your organization to work with Yammer, employees will see posts in a newsfeed on their Microsoft Dynamics 365 dashboard whenever people update customer info, and they’ll be able to join in the conversation with their own posts.

When you have Yammer set up, keep these things in mind:

  • All user posts (conversations) are stored in Yammer, not in Microsoft Dynamics 365.

  • All system posts are stored in Microsoft Dynamics 365.

  • If the Post to Yammer Activity Stream rule (or posttoyammer attribute) is set to True in Post Rules Configuration, that activity will post to Yammer.
