CRM 2013: missing conversion of activities to campaign responses RRS feed

    Hi!

    Recently we upgraded from CRM 2011 to 2013 and now I am looking for a functionality, which I am quite sure was there in 2011: in a campaign I can distribute a campaign activity and get a number of activities of a certain type depending on the channel I selected in the campaign activity (e.g. phone call). When I now process these activities and call the potential customers, I want to track their responses in CRM using the campaign response entity. But what I am missing now is a way to directly convert the activity into a campaign response. I seem to remember that there was a button for this in CRM 2011, but I can't find this button in CRM 2013. Does anybody now abaout this?

    Best regards

    Daniel

    Create a campaign and a campaign activity with channel = letter. Distribute the campaign activity.

    Now open the letter activity that was created via distribution. Click on Convert To -> Promote to Response as shown in screenshot.

    You can convert a phone call activity to campaign response in CRM 2013.

    Vasavi,

    Thanks for your reply! You mean I can NOT convert a phone call to a campaign response? But why?

    You are right regarding the activity with 'letter' as channel, I can promote that to a response.

    Is there no way to activate this same functionality for phone calls? I am quite sure that it worked in CRM 2011. Is there someone at Microsoft randomly picking functions and deactivating them for new releases? I can't see any logical reason why one should not promote a phone call to a response - I call people and most of them give me responses...

    Regards

    Daniel

    In another forum I got a reply with a screenshot showing that one can promote a phone call to a campaign response in CRM 2013. But for me it is not working.
