Enhance Dynamics CRM Copilot: Optimize Knowledge Articles
Efficiently Creating Knowledge-Based Articles in Microsoft Dynamics CRM
Creating knowledge-based articles manually in Microsoft Dynamics CRM can be a complex and time-consuming task. This process often involves multiple steps that increase the chances of human error and inconsistencies. Fortunately, the upcoming update to Microsoft Dynamics CRM introduces a new feature called Copilot, designed to enhance this workflow significantly.
Understanding Knowledge-Based Articles
A knowledge-based article serves as an online resource that provides customers with answers or information relevant to their queries. This type of content is essential for customer support teams, as it helps in delivering quick and accurate responses to customer inquiries.
Introducing Copilot: The Game-Changer
The new Copilot feature will be available for resolved cases in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. This tool can automatically generate knowledge articles directly from the details of a case.
How It Works
- Propose New Knowledge Button: At the top of a resolved case, there is a button labeled “Propose new knowledge.” When clicked, this button leverages the information contained in the case—such as descriptions, notes, and emails—to draft a knowledge article.
- Automation Options: System Administrators can configure whether Copilot activates automatically upon case resolution or requires a manual click by the user.
Example of Copilot in Action
For instance, consider a case created to provide guidance on detailing a car. This simple case might include a few notes with instructions on cleaning the tires and interior. Once resolved, the user clicks “Propose new knowledge,” prompting a pop-up that begins drafting the knowledge article.
The draft is generated quickly, summarizing the notes and details effectively. Additionally, users have the option to suggest changes, allowing for tailored articles. Once satisfied, they can submit the draft, which will then enter the standard approval process before publication.
Activating Copilot Features
To enable the Copilot functionality:
- Access the Customer Service Admin Center as a System Administrator.
- Locate the section for Case-based knowledge creation.
- Enable the option for agents to use Copilot to propose new knowledge based on case information.
- Choose whether to set it up for automatic initiation or to require CRM users to click the button.
Best Practices for Using Copilot
To maximize the benefits of the new Copilot features in Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM, consider the following best practices:
- Involve Certified Microsoft Partners: Seeking assistance from certified partners can ensure that organizations make the most of the Copilot updates.
- Understand Security Roles: Familiarize yourself with roles involved in managing knowledge articles, such as Knowledge Manager, Customer Service Manager, and Customer Service Representative, to ensure security and efficiency.
- Stay Updated: Keep an eye on the rollout of preview features and updates related to AI-driven capabilities within your CRM system.
