Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing

Attract more leads, nurture them intelligently, and hand them to sales at exactly the right moment — with Microsoft’s AI-powered marketing platform, implemented by Finsys Apps.

The Marketing Problem Most Growing Businesses Face

Marketing teams are generating more content and running more campaigns than ever — yet many can’t clearly demonstrate what’s working, which leads are truly ready for sales, or how their activity is contributing to revenue. Campaigns are built in one tool, contacts live in another, and the data that would tell you which journey converted a lead into a customer is scattered across platforms that don’t talk to each other.

The result is a disconnect between marketing effort and sales outcome, leads handed over before they’re ready, and a budget that’s hard to justify because the attribution data simply doesn’t exist. Dynamics 365 Marketing — now part of Microsoft’s unified Customer Insights platform — solves this by connecting your marketing, sales, and customer data in one place.

Marketing and sales, finally working from the same data

Dynamics 365 Marketing is Microsoft’s AI-powered marketing automation platform — enabling you to design and deliver personalised customer journeys across email, SMS, events, and web, with every interaction tracked back to your CRM and your revenue outcomes.

Finsys Apps implements Dynamics 365 Marketing around your actual customer acquisition and retention strategy. We configure the platform to match your buyer journeys, integrate it seamlessly with your Dynamics 365 Sales or Business Central environment, and ensure your marketing team is running effective campaigns from day one — not six months after go-live.

Real-Time Customer Journey Orchestration

Modern buyers don’t follow a linear path — they move between channels, pause, restart, and respond to different messages at different times. Dynamics 365 Marketing’s real-time journey orchestration lets you design customer journeys that respond to actual behaviour rather than a predetermined schedule. When a contact opens an email, visits a product page, or submits a form, the system responds instantly — triggering the next communication that’s most relevant to where they are in their decision process.

Journeys can span email, SMS, push notifications, and event invitations, with branching logic that adapts based on engagement. You can orchestrate journeys for both prospects moving through an acquisition funnel and existing customers being nurtured for renewal, upsell, or re-engagement — all from a single drag-and-drop canvas.

  • Drag-and-drop journey canvas with real-time trigger and branching logic
  • Behaviour-triggered journeys — respond to opens, clicks, form fills, and web visits
  • Multi-channel delivery across email, SMS, push notification, and event
  • Separate orchestration for prospect acquisition and customer retention journeys
  • A/B testing at every stage to optimise message, subject line, and timing

AI-Powered Segmentation & Personalisation

AI imageSending the same message to your entire database is the surest way to damage your deliverability and lose the attention of your best prospects. Dynamics 365 Marketing uses AI and your unified customer data to build precise audience segments based on behaviour, demographic attributes, engagement history, purchase data, and predictive scores — so every campaign reaches the people most likely to respond.

Copilot-powered content generation helps your team move faster — suggesting email copy, subject lines, and images based on the segment you’re targeting and the goal of the campaign. Dynamic content blocks personalise individual sections of every email based on the recipient’s profile, ensuring no two contacts receive exactly the same message.

Audience segmentation

  • AI-assisted segment builder using behavioural and demographic data
  • Predictive lead scoring to identify contacts most likely to convert
  • Dynamic segments that update automatically as contact data changes
  • Suppression lists and preference centres for compliant marketing

Content & personalisation

  • Copilot-generated email copy, subject lines, and image suggestions
  • Dynamic content blocks personalised to individual contact attributes
  • Drag-and-drop email designer with brand template management
  • SMS and push notification content managed from a single platform

Lead Management & Sales Alignment

Men holding and discussion reportsThe handover between marketing and sales is where most leads die. A prospect who has engaged with your content, attended your webinar, and downloaded your guide is ready for a conversation — but if that signal never reaches a salesperson at the right moment, the opportunity is lost. Dynamics 365 Marketing eliminates this gap by operating on the same data platform as Dynamics 365 Sales.

Lead scoring models — built on engagement data across every channel — automatically calculate a readiness score for each contact. When that score crosses your defined threshold, the lead is automatically handed to sales as a qualified opportunity, complete with the full engagement history that gives the salesperson everything they need to open a relevant conversation.

  • Configurable lead scoring models based on engagement across all channels
  • Automatic lead handover to Dynamics 365 Sales when readiness threshold is met
  • Full engagement history visible to salespeople within the CRM
  • Shared contact and account data — no synchronisation lag between systems
  • Marketing and sales working from one unified view of the customer

Event Management & Webinar Marketing

Attendees sitting in a conference venue roomEvents — whether in-person, virtual, or hybrid — are one of the highest-value touchpoints in any B2B marketing programme. Dynamics 365 Marketing manages the full event lifecycle from within the same platform as your email campaigns and customer journeys, so registration data, attendance records, and post-event follow-up all flow into a single contact record.

Built-in integration with Microsoft Teams allows you to run webinars and virtual events directly from the platform, with attendance automatically captured and used to trigger post-event nurture journeys. On-site check-in, session tracking, and speaker management are all handled natively for in-person events, removing the need for a separate event management tool.

  • End-to-end event management — registration, logistics, and post-event follow-up
  • Microsoft Teams integration for webinars and virtual events
  • Attendance automatically captured and used to trigger nurture journeys
  • On-site check-in and session tracking for in-person events
  • Event registration data flowing directly into contact and lead records

Why Businesses Choose Finsys Apps

Marketing automation is only as powerful as the strategy and configuration behind it. A platform left to default settings, with disconnected data and no journey logic, will underperform a well-configured simpler tool every time. Finsys Apps ensures you get the full value of Dynamics 365 Marketing from the outset — with journeys, scoring models, and integrations built around your actual go-to-market strategy.

Because we implement both Dynamics 365 Marketing and Dynamics 365 Sales, we configure the handover between the two systems properly — ensuring leads flow to sales at the right moment, salespeople have the context they need, and marketing gets the closed-loop attribution data that lets them prove and improve ROI.

  • Journeys, scoring models, and segments built around your go-to-market strategy
  • Proper marketing-to-sales handover — configured, not left to default
  • Closed-loop attribution so marketing can prove and improve ROI

Frequently Asked Questions

Microsoft rebranded Dynamics 365 Marketing as part of the Dynamics 365 Customer Insights suite. Customer Insights — Journeys is the new name for the marketing automation and journey orchestration capabilities (formerly Dynamics 365 Marketing), while Customer Insights — Data handles the customer data platform and unified profile capabilities. In practice, most businesses refer to the combined suite as Dynamics 365 Marketing. Finsys Apps will recommend the right licencing configuration for your specific needs.
Yes — this is one of its most significant advantages over standalone marketing automation tools. Because both applications sit on the same Microsoft Dataverse platform, contact records, lead data, engagement history, and account information are shared in real time. There is no synchronisation delay, no middleware required, and no data mapping to maintain. Leads generated by marketing campaigns are immediately visible to salespeople in their CRM, complete with full journey and engagement history.
For most businesses, yes. Dynamics 365 Marketing covers email campaign management, journey automation, segmentation, landing pages, forms, event management, and analytics — all the core capabilities of a standalone marketing automation platform, with the significant added benefit of native integration with your CRM and ERP data. For businesses already on the Microsoft stack, the unified data model and single vendor relationship typically deliver better outcomes at lower total cost.
You define scoring models that assign points to contacts based on their engagement — email opens, link clicks, form submissions, event attendance, web page visits, and demographic attributes. As a contact accumulates points their score rises, and when it reaches your defined threshold the contact is automatically promoted to a sales-ready lead and handed to Dynamics 365 Sales. Multiple scoring models can run simultaneously for different products, campaigns, or customer segments. Finsys Apps configures these models as part of the implementation.
A standard implementation — covering journey templates, email design, segmentation, lead scoring, and integration with Dynamics 365 Sales — typically takes between 6 and 10 weeks. More complex deployments involving multiple business units, advanced event management, or custom integrations are scoped individually. Finsys Apps provides a fixed-price proposal with clear milestones before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect.
