Integrating MS Dynamics with Zoho Campaigns helps you to import leads and contacts from your Vertical CRM into Zoho Campaigns. You can set up a sync to schedule periodic syncing of all your contacts and leads between MS Dynamics and Zoho Campaigns on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. This integration lets you plan your email campaign, send it to your leads and contacts, measure the campaign's effectiveness, and analyze the results.

To initiate a periodic sync:
- From the Navigation toolbar, choose Contacts and select Sync Services.

- Select All Leads/All Contacts/All Accounts/All Deals/All Custom Module to sync all records depending on the respective modules that you have selected.
- Select Criteria to define conditions to filter records from CRM account.
- Select the mailing list to which you want to sync the records.

- Select the time at which you want the sync to occur periodically.

How do I edit field mapping?
You can re-map or map more fields for your sync settings by clicking the Edit Mapping link in the Sync Detail View.
Sync Settings
Configure your sync settings to keep all of your campaigns and contacts updated across both applications. With options to push campaigns to MS Dynamics and update your contacts and campaign member status, you'll be able to better execute your campaigns and manage your contacts.
To configure your sync settings:
- From the Navigation toolbar, choose Contacts and select Sync Services.
- Under MS Dynamics, select Active Syncs.
- You can see all the syncs.
- You can add a new sync by clicking the button.
- You can view the details of a particular sync, and you can also edit the configuration or delete it.
- Click the Settings subtab to edit the sync configuration.
- You can see the sync configuration in the Settings page.
- Click the Edit icon to change the configuration.
- You can configure different mailing lists for opened and clicked recipients so that you can have a clear idea as to why a contact is pushed into MS Dynamics.
- Avoid configuring the same mailing list across both modules(Leads and Contacts) as it may lead to confusion as to which module a contact should be pushed.
