In sales activities, managing lead information is important, but manual data management can be considered inefficient. Therefore, this time, we will explain how to introduce automation that integrates Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales with Microsoft Excel, so that when a lead is registered in Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales, it is automatically added to Microsoft Excel. This automation allows for the automatic registration of leads and centralized management of lead information. Furthermore, it will enable accurate management of lead information to prevent human errors.

Benefits and Examples of Integrating Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales and Microsoft Excel
Benefit 1: Save the effort of lead registration
Manually transferring lead information registered in Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales to Microsoft Excel is important in conducting sales activities. However, manual transfer takes time and effort, making it inefficient. By integrating Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales with Microsoft Excel and automating the synchronization of lead information, efficiency can be expected. For example, if you need to process dozens to hundreds of lead information, introducing automation may reduce the burden. This will free sales representatives from the effort of manual transfer, allowing them to focus on other tasks.
Benefit 2: Centralized management of lead information
By automatically reflecting lead information from Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales to Microsoft Excel, centralized management of lead information is possible. For example, simply registering lead information in Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales will automatically transfer it to Microsoft Excel, reducing the need to move between systems. This will eliminate the effort of re-registering the same lead information, significantly reducing work time. With centralized management of lead information, you can obtain lead information by checking either application.
Benefit 3: Accurate management of lead information
Mistakes in lead registration can greatly affect subsequent lead handling. However, automatic transfer of leads can solve this problem. For example, when a sales representative approaches a lead, they can respond based on accurate information. This will prevent the risk of using incorrect information and allow for appropriate approaches to leads. Additionally, when conducting analysis in the marketing department, strategies can be developed based on highly reliable data.
Now, let's explain how to use the no-code tool Yoom to "add to Microsoft Excel when a lead is registered in Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales."
[What is Yoom]
How to Create a Flow for Integrating Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales and Microsoft Excel
Automation can be achieved by receiving lead information registered in Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales via API and adding it using Microsoft Excel's API. Generally, programming knowledge is required to achieve this, but with the no-code tool Yoom, it can be easily achieved without programming knowledge.
The integration flow is broadly created through the following processes.
Register Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales and Microsoft Excel as My Apps
Copy the template
Set the trigger for Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales, which serves as the starting point of the flow, and configure the subsequent operations for Microsoft Excel
Turn on the trigger button and verify the integration operation between Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales and Microsoft Excel
If you are not using Yoom, please register for free here. If you are already using Yoom, please log in.
Step 1: Register Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales and Microsoft Excel as My Apps
Let's register Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales and Microsoft Excel as My Apps to connect them to Yoom. By registering My Apps in advance, you can smoothly set up automation.

Return to the Yoom screen and set up "Database Integration".
"File Save Location" → Set as desired
"Drive ID" → Set from the options Click inside the box to display the options.
Next, perform the following settings.
Check the following setup method.
Next, set the "Values of the records to be added". The following screen displays the items set in Microsoft Excel. Use the output from Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales to set the corresponding items. The output can be displayed by clicking the arrow in the red frame. Set other items in the same way.
When all items are set, it will be displayed as follows. Once the settings are complete, click "Test" → "Test Successful" → "Save".
Step 4: Turn on the trigger button and verify the integration operation between Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales and Microsoft Excel
Finally, click "Turn on Trigger" to complete the automation setup. Check if the flow bot starts up correctly.
Here is the template used this time.
Other Examples of Automation Using Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales and Microsoft Excel
There are many other examples of automation using Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales and Microsoft Excel on Yoom, so here are a few introductions.
1. A flow that automatically notifies Microsoft Teams when a lead is created in Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales. When a new lead is created, it is automatically notified to Microsoft Teams, making it ideal for those who want to quickly grasp the information. By setting notifications to Microsoft Teams within the team, sharing becomes easier.
2. This is a flow to automatically notify leads with a template email via Gmail in Microsoft Dynamics365 Sales. It is recommended for those who want to streamline the process from creating to sending emails to leads. Since manual email creation is no longer necessary, it reduces the workload for the person in charge.
3. This is a flow that automatically registers information in both kintone and Microsoft Excel when there is an inquiry through the form. By automatically adding the inquiry details to kintone and Microsoft Excel, it eliminates the hassle of manual entry. Compared to manual work, it helps prevent omissions and errors in the information.
Summary

I've been working as a writer since my job in child welfare, and I'm currently writing a blog on Yoom.
While being surprised by the work efficiency improvements that can be made with Yoom, I would like to share that excitement with everyone and contribute to society.
I'll tell you about application integration and automation that even I, who has zero programming knowledge, can do.
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated. With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.
Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
