Log emails using a shared mailbox and Graph API
After setting up a shared mailbox and mail flow rules in Exchange Online and enabling Feature Update: Email logging using the Microsoft Graph API, you can go to the Assisted Setup page and start the Set up email logging guide to setup email logging in Business Central using a shared mailbox and Graph APIs. There are three simple steps in the guide:
Confirm you've set up a shared mailbox and mail flow rules for email logging.
Enter the shared mailbox to use for email logging and validate the connection.
Finish the guide and start logging email interactions between your salespeople and your contacts.
Alternatively, you can use Email Logging page to review and validate your setup and view email logging activities.
Map to Dataverse option sets such as payment terms, freight terms, and shipping agents without code
You can manually map payment terms, freight terms, shipping methods, and shipping agents between Business Central and Microsoft Dataverse.
If you enable the Feature Update: Map to option sets in Dataverse without code feature in Feature Management in Business Central, you will no longer need to do code customizations to synchronize payment terms, shipment methods, and freight terms. The feature update will add integration table mappings for payment terms (PAYMENT TERMS), shipment methods (SHIPMENT METHOD), and shipping agents (SHIPPING AGENT).
Because payment terms, shipment methods, and shipping agents are handled as standard integration table mappings, you can view which payment terms, shipment methods, and shipping agents are coupled using the Coupled in Dataverse column.
You can synchronize payment terms, shipment methods, and shipping agents data by using the Synchronize action, set up or delete coupling by choosing the Coupling, Set up coupling or Delete coupling actions, or do a match-based coupling by choosing the Match-Based Coupling action.
