AGENTS & AUTOMATION

Your CRM and Microsoft 365 should talk to each other. Right now, they don't.

Leads get captured in email but never make it to the CRM. Deal notes live in Teams while your CRM shows stale data. Your team spends hours on manual data entry that should happen automatically. We build secure automation connecting Microsoft 365 to Dynamics 365, Salesforce, HubSpot, and other CRMs so your systems stay in sync without constant human intervention.

THE DISCONNECT

When your CRM and M365 live in separate worlds

Most SMBs run their business in two disconnected universes. Customer data lives in the CRM. Team activity lives in Microsoft 365. The gap between them creates real problems.

Leads fall through the cracks

A prospect emails your info address or fills out a form on your website. That lead sits in an inbox or spreadsheet for days. By the time someone enters it into the CRM, the opportunity has moved on.

Duplicate data entry eats hours

Your sales team logs activities in Teams, then manually copies notes into the CRM. Your operations team enters the same customer info into multiple systems. Hours disappear on work that should happen once.

Stale CRM records

The CRM shows a deal status from two weeks ago. The real conversation happened in Teams, in email threads, or on phone calls that never got logged. Leadership makes decisions on data that no longer reflects reality.

No visibility between teams

Sales closes a deal but operations doesn't find out until days later. Customer support answers a ticket without knowing a renewal conversation is happening. Silos create friction and missed handoffs.

WHAT WE BUILD

Automation agents that connect your systems

Each agent is scoped to a specific workflow, built on Microsoft-native tools, and designed for your IT team to own after we hand it off.

Lead Capture Agent

Monitors incoming emails, forms, or Teams channels. Extracts lead information and creates records in your CRM automatically. No more leads buried in inboxes or spreadsheets waiting for manual entry.

OUTLOOK · TEAMS · DYNAMICS 365 / SALESFORCE / HUBSPOT

Deal Handoff Agent

Triggers when a deal stage changes in your CRM. Notifies the delivery team in Teams, creates project folders in SharePoint, and populates kickoff checklists. Smooth handoffs without the chase.

CRM · TEAMS · SHAREPOINT · PLANNER

Activity Sync Agent

Logs meetings, calls, and email interactions from Microsoft 365 back to the CRM. Sales reps stop spending Friday afternoons manually updating activity records.

OUTLOOK · TEAMS · CRM

Reporting Agent

Pulls data from both M365 and your CRM into unified reports. Pipeline coverage, activity metrics, and forecast accuracy in one place without manual reconciliation.

POWER BI · EXCEL · CRM

Built on Power Platform connectors

We use Power Automate connectors to link Microsoft 365 apps with Dynamics 365, Salesforce, HubSpot, ServiceNow, SAP, and hundreds of other systems. Connectors are the standard integration layer your IT team already knows or can learn quickly.

Security and audit trails built in

Every automation authenticates via Microsoft Entra ID and respects the permission model of each connected system. Actions are logged. Sensitive data flows only through approved channels. Compliance requirements are addressed during design, not after something goes wrong.

SUPPORTED SYSTEMS

CRMs and business systems we connect

If your system has a Power Automate connector or a REST API, we can probably build automation for it. Here are the most common integrations.

Dynamics 365

CRM

Salesforce

CRM

HubSpot

CRM

ServiceNow

Service Management

SAP

ERP

Custom API

Other Systems

Don't see your system here? If it has a REST API, we can build a custom connector. Contact us to discuss your specific integration needs. Contact us to discuss your specific integration needs.

OUR PROCESS

From disconnected systems to reliable automation in 6–10 weeks

A structured workstream with clear deliverables at every phase. Built for handoff from day one.

1WEEK 1–2

Integration discovery

We map your current data flows between M365 and your CRM: where data lives, where it needs to go, and what manual processes fill the gaps. Output is a prioritized automation backlog with clear ROI justification.

  • Map data touchpoints between M365 and CRM
  • Identify manual processes causing friction
  • Assess connector availability for your systems
  • Prioritize by frequency × effort × business impact
2WEEK 2–3

Agent design

We design the automation architecture: triggers, data transformations, error handling, and approval requirements. Every design decision is documented in plain English so your IT team can maintain it.

  • Define triggers and actions for each agent
  • Map data transformations and field mappings
  • Design error handling and retry logic
  • Plan security scopes and permissions
3WEEK 3–6

Build and test

We build agents using Power Automate flows and Copilot Studio, running in your tenant. Parallel testing alongside manual processes validates accuracy before any production cutover.

  • Build flows in your Power Platform environment
  • Configure connectors with appropriate permissions
  • Run parallel testing with manual processes
  • Validate data accuracy and error handling
4WEEK 6–8

Pilot and validate

Each agent runs with a pilot group first. We measure accuracy, exception rate, and user adoption against defined success criteria before full deployment.

  • Pilot with 10–20 users per agent
  • Monitor accuracy and exception rates
  • Gather user feedback on handoffs and visibility
  • Confirm go/no-go criteria before rollout
5WEEK 8–10

Handoff and documentation

Full production deployment with complete runbooks: flow diagrams, connection references, error resolution guides, and escalation paths. Your IT team owns everything before we leave.

  • Runbook for every automation
  • IT training: monitoring, modifying, troubleshooting
  • Connection reference documentation
  • 30-day post-handoff support window

Every workstream follows this five-phase process. Clear outputs at every step.

WHAT YOU GET

Concrete deliverables.

Everything documented, tested, and handed off. Built to outlast the initial build.

Integration Backlog & Priority Matrix

Every automation candidate scored by frequency, effort, error rate, and business impact. Clear prioritization for what to build first and why.

Flows Built in Your Tenant

All automation built directly in your Power Platform environment. No external platforms, no subscription handoffs, no migration after delivery.

Runbook for Every Agent

Plain-English documentation: what each agent does, how to modify it, what to do when it fails. Written for your IT team, not a developer.

Monitoring Dashboard

Power Automate run history and alerting configured so your IT team can see flow status, failure rates, and exception counts at a glance.

IT Handoff Training

Live training session covering how to monitor, modify, and extend each automation. Includes troubleshooting guides and escalation paths.

Every automation ships with a runbook your IT team can use to own and maintain it.

RIGHT FIT

Built for teams that need their systems to talk to each other

This is for you if...

  • You have Microsoft 365 and a CRM but they don't share data automatically
  • Your team spends significant time on manual data entry between systems
  • Leads or customer requests get lost because they're captured in one system but not the other
  • Your CRM data is frequently stale or incomplete because updates happen elsewhere
  • You have 50–500 employees and a Microsoft-centric environment
  • You work in professional services, financial services, technology, or B2B services

This is probably not for you if...

  • Your CRM and M365 are already fully integrated with reliable automation
  • Your primary systems are entirely outside the Microsoft ecosystem with no integration options
  • You need real-time bidirectional sync for thousands of daily transactions (that's a different scale of solution)
  • You want a one-day workshop with no implementation follow-through
  • You need enterprise-scale integration architecture. That is a separate, larger body of work. Use the contact page for research questions.
