Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013

Your customers and stakeholders are talking about you somewhere on Facebook, Twitter, or blogs. How do you learn about it? Well, in Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online Spring ‘14, you can get powerful social insights by connecting Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online to Microsoft Social Listening. Microsoft Social Listening collects data from social media websites and presents it to you in easy-to-consume charts and graphs that you can use to spot emerging trends in people’s comments, whether they’re positive, negative, or neutral. You can drill down into the data and see who is mentioning you, where they posted the comment, and exactly what they said. Armed with these insights, you can pinpoint what you’re doing right, and address potential issues before bigger problems arise.

Note

This feature is available to you only if your organization has transitioned to the Microsoft Online Services environment. Also, this feature isn’t available in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or earlier versions of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2013.

With social insights, you bring social media data directly into the CRM dashboards and entity forms. As an administrator, you configure the connection to Microsoft Social Listening and add the Social Insights controls to the entity forms and system dashboards. You use the Social Insights controls to specify what social data you want to see and in what form you want this data to be presented to you. When you set up the Social Insights controls, you choose a search topic or search topic category and visuals. For the search topic you may choose your company name to listen to what is said in the social media about company or your product. Or, you may want to know about what is said about your accounts, then you choose a search topic category, Accounts. After you choose the search topic or search category, you pick the visuals. It can be a graph or chart, or some other visual representation of data. You can find a lot of interesting, useful and easy to follow information about social listening and social insights in CRM in this book: eBook: Microsoft Social Listening for CRM.

Note

Before you can set up the Social Insights controls in CRM, you have to add the search topic categories and visuals for your CRM organization in Microsoft Social Listening. However, you can add the search topics in Microsoft Social Listening or directly in CRM. See the Microsoft Social Engagement Help Center
