Why teams connect Box and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Keep the paperwork with the relationship: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales and Box share every customer's records and files in real time, in both directions.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales holds the customer relationship as structured records; Box holds the files that belong to those relationships, from contracts and proposals to signed agreements and statements of work. The two are linked in practice and disconnected in software: someone downloads a document, renames it, and uploads it to the right folder, or exports records out to storage for retention. Done by hand, files drift away from the records they belong to and copies fall out of date.

Stacksync keeps Quotes, Orders, Invoices, Activities in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales aligned with Users, Groups, Tasks, Events in Box, in real time. A new account or deal can open its own folder in Box; a document filed in Box can surface as a link and metadata on the matching record in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales; and records from Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales can be written into Box as files or objects for backup, archival, and compliance. You choose which side owns what, and Stacksync keeps the two consistent as either one changes.

Common use cases

  • 01 Feed BI models with continuously updated CRM data instead of scheduled exports.
  • 02 Bi-directional sync of accounts, contacts, and opportunities with a SQL database so teams query CRM data without OData or FetchXML.
  • 03 Provision and deprovision Users, Groups, and Collaborations from an HR system or IdP so Box access follows onboarding and offboarding.
  • 04 Push generated documents from an ERP or contract system into Box Folders with the right Collaborations applied for the deal team.

Common sync patterns

One place for a customer's files

Attachments that accumulate against a record in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales collect in that customer's folder in Box, so the full document history lives in one place and is reachable by anyone who needs it.

A folder per account or deal

When an account or deal is created in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, a matching folder or container opens in Box, named and organized the same way, so files have a home the moment they are needed.

Documents linked back to the record

A contract, proposal, or signed agreement filed in Box surfaces as a link on the matching record in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, so the customer's paperwork sits with the relationship instead of a shared drive.
