AB-210 Accelerating Sales Pipelines with AI in Dynamics 365 Questions and Answers

The correct feature is Cloud flow . Dynamics 365 Sales mobile app push notifications are created through Power Automate by using the Send push notification V2 action. Microsoft’s Sales mobile documentation states that the Dynamics 365 Sales mobile app supports push notifications created with the Send push notification V2 action, where the mobile app is set to Sales , the target app is selected, recipients are defined, and the notification can open a specific table record when selected.

Power Automate documentation also describes the creation process as a notification from a flow : go to Power Automate, create an automated flow, choose a trigger such as Microsoft Dataverse, then add the Send push notification V2 action. That matches the requirement to configure several seller notifications for the Sales mobile app. Classic flow is not the correct answer because modern mobile notification automation should be implemented with Power Automate cloud flows, not legacy/classic workflow patterns. Plug-in is also wrong because plug-ins are server-side Dataverse extensions for custom business logic; they are not the standard no-code configuration mechanism for mobile push notifications.

Yes, the solution meets the goal. The requirement is very specific: sales managers need deal insights , but the organization must avoid automatic outreach to buyers . Sales Close Agent in Research mode is the correct configuration because it focuses on researching opportunities, analyzing deal context, identifying risks and signals, and providing recommendations to sellers without autonomously engaging customers.

Research mode is intended to help sellers understand an opportunity more quickly by surfacing insights such as deal health, signals, risks, and suggested next actions. It supports opportunity management by giving the team intelligence that can help progress deals, while leaving communication decisions in the hands of the seller. That directly aligns with the stated requirement for insights about deals.

The critical distinction is that Engage mode is the mode that performs automated outreach and customer interaction. Since the company explicitly does not want automatic outreach to buyers, Engage mode would violate the requirement. By configuring the Sales Close Agent in Research mode , the company gets AI-assisted opportunity analysis without autonomous communications.

Requirement

Configuration

Define pricing for products

Price list item

Automatically use a localized price list

Territory

Group product prices for each region

Price list

The correct component for defining product-specific prices is the Price list item . In Dynamics 365 Sales, price list items connect a product, unit, pricing method, and amount to a specific price list. Microsoft’s product pricing guidance states that price lists and price list items are used to define product pricing, and price list items are where the per-product pricing details are configured.

To automatically use a localized price list, configure Territory . Dynamics 365 Sales can automatically select a default price list for opportunities, quotes, orders, and invoices based on the sales territory of the user. Microsoft states that a price list can be associated with a territory by using the Territory Default Pricelist connection role, allowing users in that territory to have the correct price list selected by default.

To group product prices for each region, use a Price list . A price list is the container that groups the prices charged for products or services. Microsoft guidance explains that organizations can create multiple price lists to maintain separate pricing structures for different regions, sales channels, or territories. Currency supports monetary localization, but it does not group regional product prices by itself. Product bundle is unrelated because it combines products for sale as a package, not regional pricing.

Parameter

Option

Entity

Opportunity

Date field

Actual Close Date

Revenue field

Actual Revenue

The correct table is Opportunity because the goal measurement is based on deal amounts when opportunities are closed. In Dynamics 365 Sales goal metrics, rollup fields define which table and source attribute are used to calculate actual or in-progress goal values. Microsoft’s goal metric documentation gives the direct example of using the Opportunity table with the opportunity actual value/source attribute to track actual money amounts from opportunities closed as Won .

The correct date field is Actual Close Date because the goal period must be determined by when the deal was actually closed, not when the opportunity was created. Microsoft’s goal metric configuration guidance states that the Date Field determines the goal period that records roll up into, and gives Actual Close Date as the relevant example.

The correct revenue field is Actual Revenue because the requirement is based on the total deal amount upon closing the opportunity. Budget Amount and Total Amount do not represent the final closed deal value for goal actuals. Goal rollup fields calculate actual performance values for completed measurable results, which fits closed opportunity revenue.

Requirement

Configuration

Blueprints

Name the blueprint workspace and pin the workspace.

Questions

Create a business function with seeded prompts.

For Blueprints, the correct configuration is to name the blueprint workspace and pin the workspace. The requirement is not asking to regenerate analysis; it asks for a reliable way to return to frequently used research output. In Sales Research Agent, a generated blueprint exists inside a workspace, and Microsoft states that the workspace displays the workspace name, can be renamed, and can be switched from the workspace menu. That makes naming and pinning the workspace the correct operational pattern for reusable research access.

For Questions, the correct configuration is to create a business function with seeded prompts. Sales Research Agent business functions are designed to tailor research to a specific use case, and administrators can add starter prompts. Microsoft explains that starter prompts appear on the Sales Research Agent home page for quick access and that the full prompt is sent to the agent when selected. This directly satisfies the requirement to retain a reusable library of approved questions.

Do not select regenerate the blueprint because regeneration refreshes or recreates analysis, but it does not create a persistent shortcut to frequently used research. Do not select custom table or manual prompt questions in Sales Copilot because the native Sales Research Agent feature already supports reusable business-function prompts.

Requirement

Configuration

Automatically prioritize leads based on conversion probability

Predictive lead scoring

Ensure the lead scoring improvement requirement is met

Automatically retrain model

The correct capability for automatically prioritizing leads based on conversion probability is Predictive lead scoring . Dynamics 365 Sales predictive lead scoring assigns scores to leads so sellers can prioritize the leads most likely to qualify or convert. Microsoft’s Sales documentation states that predictive lead scoring helps sales teams prioritize leads based on scores and improve lead qualification outcomes. This directly matches Contoso’s requirement to guide sellers toward high-potential leads and reduce inconsistent manual prioritization across regions.

To meet the requirement that lead scoring must continuously improve based on historical sales outcomes, configure the model to automatically retrain . Microsoft’s predictive lead scoring guidance explains that retraining uses the latest leads in the organization to improve model accuracy, and automatic retraining allows the application to retrain the model every 15 days. This is the correct option because Contoso wants the scoring model to improve continuously as more closed lead outcome data becomes available.

“Lead scoring model” is too generic; the AI capability required is specifically predictive lead scoring. “Relationship intelligence” supports relationship analytics and engagement insights, but it does not score leads by conversion probability. “Configure forecast” applies to pipeline forecasting, not lead scoring accuracy.

Create a Power Automate cloud flow.

Add a Dataverse trigger.

Define an approval step.

Test and activate the flow.

The correct automation pattern is an automated Power Automate cloud flow triggered by a Dataverse event. The case study states that the process must notify the seller’s manager when a draft quote is created and requires approval, and that approvals must use the Power Automate Approvals connector. Therefore, the flow should first be created as a cloud flow, then started by a Dataverse trigger such as when a row is added, modified, or deleted on the Quote table, filtered for the draft quote condition. Microsoft’s Dataverse trigger guidance confirms that this trigger runs when a selected Dataverse table row is created, modified, or deleted.

After the trigger is defined, the flow must include an approval step using Power Automate approvals. Microsoft’s approval workflow guidance states that Power Automate can manage approvals across services including Dynamics 365 and Dataverse-based processes. The final action is to test and activate the flow so the quote approval automation is available to users. Do not use a scheduled trigger because the requirement is event-driven, not time-based. Do not connect to the existing desktop flow because that desktop flow processes partner orders for fulfillment, not draft quote approvals. A Teams step is optional collaboration, not the required approval mechanism.

The correct configuration is to set related record creation to Seller. The case study states that sales leadership requires flexibility in how leads are converted: inside sales need automatic opportunity creation, but field sellers need the option to manually decide whether an opportunity should be created when a lead is qualified. In the new lead qualification experience, Dynamics 365 Sales lets administrators control whether account, contact, and opportunity records are created automatically during lead qualification or whether sellers are prompted to choose which related records to create. Microsoft’s lead qualification guidance confirms that when automatic creation is not enabled, sellers are prompted to select which records should be created during qualification.

Option B and option E are wrong for field sellers because automatic creation would remove the manual decision point required by the case study. Option C is relevant to guiding sellers through sales stages, but the existing Lead to Opportunity Business Process Flow does not control whether related records are automatically created when a lead is qualified. Option D is unrelated because Copilot summaries help sellers review record information; they do not configure lead conversion behavior. Therefore, the required configuration for field sellers is Seller-controlled related record creation.

Requirement

Configuration

Advance the lead to the Development stage

Set the decision maker field as required.

Ensure that the default process is applied

Authorize the process for field sellers.

The lead qualification process should be controlled through the Lead to Opportunity Business Process Flow, because the case study states that field sellers use this existing process to manage leads. To prevent a lead from advancing to the Development stage until a decision maker is confirmed, configure the Decision Maker step as required in the business process flow. Microsoft’s business process flow guidance states that each stage contains steps mapped to columns, and a step can be made required so users must enter data before moving to the next stage. This stage-gating behavior directly satisfies the requirement that leads cannot progress until the decision maker is confirmed.

To ensure the correct process is applied for field sellers, authorize the business process flow for the field seller security role. Microsoft explains that business process flows can be associated with security roles so only users with those roles can view or use them, and that the first active process available for a user’s security role is applied by default according to process order.

Do not choose Power Automate to advance the lead; the requirement is to block advancement until a required qualification criterion is completed, not to automate progression. “Switch to a different process” is user action, not a configuration standard.

The issue is that the sales manager already generated a Sales Research Agent blueprint but forgot to include the quarterly competitive intelligence brief. The brief is an external document and the case study states it is delivered as a PDF document , so the correct first content action is to upload the competitive intelligence brief as a PDF file , not CSV. Microsoft’s Sales Research Agent documentation states that users can select Add data to upload files including CSV, Excel, or PDF to augment research with additional data.

The second required action is to add a data source , because the competitive intelligence brief is not part of the default Dynamics 365 Sales data. Sales Research Agent connects to Dynamics 365 Sales data by default, but additional external files must be added as supporting data sources before they can influence the analysis. The documentation identifies the Data area as the place where the research data source is specified and where additional data sources can be added.

The final action is to regenerate the canvas/blueprint so the agent reprocesses the analysis using the newly added PDF. Refreshing alone is not the best answer because the problem is not stale data; it is missing context. Regeneration creates updated research output with the new source included.

Requirement

Component

Mountaineer range

Product family

Athlete package

Product bundle

Metal range

Product property

The Mountaineer range should be configured as a Product family because it represents a product classification hierarchy. Dynamics 365 Sales uses product families to organize related products, child products, and bundles under a parent structure. Microsoft’s product catalog guidance states that product families can contain child product families, products, and bundles in a hierarchy, which fits the mountaineer cycle range with economy and premium fitting variations.

The Athlete package should be configured as a Product bundle because it combines multiple sellable items: a cycle, connected devices, and subscription-based analytics services. A bundle is used when multiple products are sold together as one commercial package. Dynamics 365 Sales allows products to be associated with a bundle, including quantities and required or optional components.

The Metal range should be configured as a Product property because sellers must choose a configurable attribute—chrome, aluminum, or titanium—when adding the mountaineer cycle to an opportunity. Product properties define product characteristics such as size, color, or component, and can be used at run time when adding products to opportunities, quotes, orders, or invoices.
