Enable CRM sync and activity writeback

When you enable CRM sync and activity writeback, Sales Navigator matches the Accounts, Leads, and Contacts in Dynamics 365 Sales. The sync also allows you to see the data created in LinkedIn Sales Navigator from Dynamics 365 Sales, including InMails and Messages.

To enable CRM sync and activity writeback, follow the process described in CRM Sync & Activity Writeback for Dynamics 365.

Existing orgs that got updated with April 19 features

In the April 19 release, Microsoft introduced changes to how the Sales Navigator controls are enabled. Here are a few things to consider if you don't plan to enable the integration:

• Three solutions related to the LinkedIn integration appear in the All Solutions view in Settings > Customization > Solutions. Although these solutions are preinstalled, the functionality and data transfer between the two systems is disabled unless you enable LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Additionally, you need to explicitly enable CRM Sync on LinkedIn Sales Navigator Admin Settings page.

  

• System customizers see the new LinkedIn controls in Account, Contact, Lead, and Opportunity form editors. However, the visibility for these controls is turned off by default and users can't see them on forms unless the feature is enabled by a system administrator. Customizers can remove these controls from pages as they'd remove any control that they consider too distracting.

  

• While using Advanced Find, users see the new entities introduced by these solutions (InMails, Messages, and Smart Links) even if the integration isn't enabled. This behavior is intended; users can ignore these entities if they aren't actively using LinkedIn Sales Navigator.
