In the previous post, I covered how to enable the Quality Evaluation Agent in Dynamics 365 Contact Center, including prerequisites, connection references, Power Automate flows, Copilot Studio publishing, and data configuration. Once the agent is enabled, the next step is to understand how to use it as part of a quality management process. The Quality…
Quality Evaluation Agent is one of the AI capabilities in Dynamics 365 Contact Center that helps evaluate customer interactions based on defined quality criteria. Before you start working with evaluation criteria and plans, the agent itself needs to be enabled and configured with the correct connections, flows, data sources and publishing status.

It promises a more conversational way for administrators to configure, validate, and troubleshoot contact center setup. Instead of navigating through every admin screen manually, you can ask the agent to help create or inspect configuration across workstreams, channels,…

On top of that, there’s live chat, Exchange-synced email, Copilot Studio agent-run…
When a case is created directly from a conversation in Dynamics 365, the Case Origin field (caseorigincode) doesn’t always reflect the channel the conversation came from. Instead, it defaults to Web. This is the expected system behaviour; if no default value is set in entity metadata when getting data from Channel Integration Framework, the system…
Every release wave comes with a flood of excellent community write-ups breaking down what’s new in Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. This will not be one of those posts. Instead, I want to take a different spin, not on listing the new features, but on exploring their risk–opportunity balance. The 2025 Wave 2 release is…
