We are using SAP Analytics Cloud and since many users didn't have a license, we simply used to published the Stories and send them to their email address by providing their office email addresses in the non-SAP Analytics Cloud Recipients text box while in the Publish window.
These users now have their own licenses and we can now send them the reports (stories) so they can receive an alert in SAC and directly view the stories in SAP Analytics, but now we are unable to also send the stories to their office email addresses.
We are also now using SAP Cloud Foundry so could that be related?
All good now. After trying once again it worked. Thanks.

I am trying to build a Slack bot to interact with the corporate Outlook account for users. I want events posted in users' slack channels to be automatically updated into the user's Outlook email and/or calendar for automated reminders and scheduling. I'm wondering how I would go about enabling the Slack bot to interact with with Microsoft Outlook's API, if possible?
I'm starting with the publicly available slackapi/python-slackclient available on github. I've read that compatibility for this exists in Office 365, but I'm wondering if it is possible in the more traditional versions of the office suite.
IBM or their billing company won't allow any bluemix.com accounts with an #outlook.com email address. My question, does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have a bluemix.com IBM cloud account with an outlook.com email address?
Hello,
As we do not support the Outlook Domain, would you mind creating another email to use?
Thank you

I verified with management that the information in the email is correct. You cannot create an IBM Cloud platform account using an #outlook.com address due to historical issues with that domain. As recommended, please use an email address with a different domain.
I have a requirement where I need to configure my CRM Online with an Exchange Server which is hosted out of my organization's Office 365 to sync Emails for Incoming and Outgoing profiles.
Of the steps, I understand that I need to setup and Email Server Profile of type Exchange that has Server Location pointing to the Exchange Server which I have been using currently. However, I get an error saying that the configuration is invalid and I don't get to save the Incoming and Outgoing server locations. Also, do I need authentication for the same? If yes, of whom should it be? The current Incoming and Outgoing is set to the URL. (Without '/EWS/Exchange.asmx' which is used by default for hosting it on O365.
Any help / links to blogs that effectively explain this would really help.
Thanks !
Supported email service configurations for server-side synchronization
CRM Online only supports Server Side Synchronization with:
Exchange Online in the same tenant in Office365 (mail, tasks, etc.)
Gmail or Yahoo! Mail via POP3/SMTP (mail only)
Anything else is not (yet1) supported.
1 Online to On-Premise SSS is supposed to become supported at some point in the future
There are three ways of handling email processing in CRM:
Server-side synchronization
CRM for Outlook
Email Router
Server-side synchronization does not support hybrid deployments (e.g. CRM Online with Exchange On-premise), as Alex mentions.
I suggest looking into the Email Router. You install it on a machine which is then responsible for synchronizing email messages between CRM and Exchange. For an in-depth explanaion, see Email Router Demystified.
If you also need to synchronize Outlook contacts, tasks and appointments have a look at CRM for Outlook.
I am new to Windows Azure and SQL Azure and was wondering if there is a way that I can export the reports (on my reportserver) that I created and e-mail them to for example and administrator automatically like every week?
Kind Regards!
As you are new to both Windows Azure and SQL Azure, I would suggest the following:
SQL Azure Reporting is still in Preview (or CTP) mode so there are limited functionalities available.
SQL Azure reporting preview provides following 3 scenarios:
2.1 Embed Microsoft reports in Web or client applications
2.2 Design, publish, and view reports (.rdl) and report-related items on a SQL Azure Reporting report server.
2.3 Interact with the report server Web service by using SOAP API calls.
So when you are using SQL Azure Reporting Preview you can generate the reports however to send these reports via email you need a front end to take care of job or custom code running on-premise connected to SQL Azure Reporting service.
3.1 This front end could be a Windows Azure Web Role (using 3rd party email provider or online MS Exchange to send email) or your own SQL Azure reporting service sending emails by using custom code.
3.2 You can also write a client application talking to Reporting Service Web Service over SOAP to get reports and then email to required destination.
More information on SQL Azure Reporting Preview is here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg430129.aspx
I assume your reportserver is running on Azure? Azure doesn't have an SMTP server so basically what you will need to do is
1) Use a third-party SMTP server (Gmail is free) to send out the emails. Azure recently have a deal with sendgrid who provide SMTP and email services as well.
2) Write a little application that runs in a worker role and periodically generates the reports and sends them out.
I'm Creating a workflow that needs to send the users an email on set events. This I don't have a problem with. However can someone please confirm if you need the local windows SMTP service installed or if I can use another method for it to send the emails.
UPDATE
Ok I've just read about the E-mail Router, just need to find out where it is, and how to get to the configuration settings.
UPDATE
Update 2
Right, Iv'e looked into it and the e-mail router configuration is not used on this CRM set-up, it used an Outlook Add-in which I cant find a lot of into on.
However it appears to work flawlessly.
end update 2
Thanks
AFAIK, Microsoft CRM uses Exchange server to send out emails. Haven't you configured this during setup?
You are right that the Email Router is the way to enable outbound emails from Dynamics CRM. If you haven't done so already, I strongly encourage you to download the Dynamics CRM Implementation Guide. You can jump right to the section called "Planning e-mail integration" to read about it.
What you need to do is configure the e-mail router to operate with a POP3/SMTP server. You can use Windows Server's SMTP service for that. You can use almost any service - i have configured it to work with my gmail account, for instance.
Here are three good articles that you can read to learn more about the e-mail router.
What's New in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 E-Mail Integration
Dynamics CRM 4.0 E-mail Integration Overview
Microsoft Dynamics CRM: How to configure the On-premise and Online E-mail Router in different deployment scenarios
Now when you configure an email from a workflow, CRM will automatically forward it out through the router to your SMTP email account.
It looks like there are at least two options, one which uses the SMTP or exchange. And another which is an outlook plugin. Which syncs the emails with the owners outlook and then sends out the emails.
EDIT
So the two options which both work are:
Email Router - This appears to be the standard and can use various email servers
Outlook add-in - This sends email based on the owner/email settings in the CRM record.
This works with any email CRM wants to send, and even works with workflows.
I've not got to the bottom of why the outlook add-in has been used at this site, however the workflow functions appear to run without problem, and seamlessly to the owner/user.
