Create Web Content: Go to settings>>ClickDimensions>>Web Content>>New

Enter an appropriate name, select the type of your web content, Lookup your domain; Under ‘Create new visitor as’ select Lead or contact, if required. Following types of web content can be created:

Posted Forms: Every time a form is submitted on the website, a ‘Posted form’ and a ‘lead’ record is created in MS CRM. Post Form is a ClickDimension entity. Posted form will include info about any related lead or contact or both. To know more http://help.clickdimensions.com/posted-form-records/

Limitation to achieve my objective: I could have used the lead record created after submission on website and converted it to a case via workflow automation of MS CRM. But Clickdimensions creates a lead in the system, with one email id just once; after which if any submissions come from the same email id, it will only update the existing lead record and not create a new lead. But as we know ‘Feedbacks/Cases/Complaints’ can come multiple times from the same email id; this didn’t work for me.

Solution: I used the ‘Posted forms’ instead of using leads. So I created a workflow in MS CRM, which was- On creation of ‘Posted form’, create a case in MS CRM. All details in this case are prepopulated from my Lead record which is linked to (lookup reference) Posted forms. Below screenshot might help:

  3. Hi Prashant,

    Thanks for such good post. All this years I was using different ways to create a case from the lead. Now it seems to be easy to create a case but my concern is that many clients don’t want a third party or a addon to be used. Is there any other way you suggest to create a case from lead or should we wait til the time Microsoft acquire Clickdimension to be used as an out of the box feature.

    1. Thanks for the appreciation Ravi !
      As per the road map, there’s no news of MS acquiring ClickDimensions. There is a new marketing tool on the way ‘Adobe Marketing Cloud’. There can be n no. of ways of creating a case with MS CRM now, as it has got much more enhanced then previous versions.
      If you have a specific query in mind, do post it on the community https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f and i am sure people will give you good suggestions.
