Reconciling Microsoft Teams Meeting Attendees with Accounts and Users

  • Browser
  • CRM Desktop (Windows)
  • iPad

To ensure Microsoft Teams meeting data is accurate for reporting, Veeva CRM automatically attempts to reconcile Microsoft Teams attendees with the correct accounts and users after a meeting ends, allowing users to quickly review and manually update any attendees without an automatic match. This process saves end users time by matching data received from Microsoft Teams directly to records in Veeva CRM.

Reconciling Microsoft Teams Meeting Attendees with Accounts and Users

When a meeting attendee is reconciled with a person account call attendee or user attendee after a Microsoft Teams meeting, the account is stamped on the appropriate Remote Meeting Attendee record:

  • For calls with one attendee, the meeting attendee data is automatically matched with the account or user on the call
  • For calls with multiple attendees, the email address for each attendee provided by Microsoft is matched against the email address on an account or user record
  • If a match cannot be found, the field is left blank and end users can populate it later

Since automatic reconciliation is attempted based on the data provided by Microsoft Teams, some attempted matches may be incorrect and some attendees may not have matches.

End users can review the attempted matches on the call report and update them if needed, as well as manually populate the appropriate accounts or users for attendees without attempted matches. End users can also submit call reports with unreconciled accounts and reconcile them later. However, if attendance data from Microsoft Teams is not available before end users must submit the call, they can first submit the call and reconcile the attendees later.

To review the attendee information for a Microsoft Teams meeting on a submitted or unsubmitted call report:

  1. Navigate to the call report for the Microsoft Teams meeting.
  2. Select the header to view the attendee data.
  3. Select Check for Updates to ensure the attendee information from Microsoft is up to date.
  4. Ensure the correct account or user is selected in the Attendees on Call Report drop-down menu for each attendee. If the correct account does not display as an option, users can perform either of the following:
    • Select Add attendees to add the correct Veeva CRM account or user to the call report. This option only displays when the user is configured to manage accounts or users on the call.
    • End users cannot manage accounts or users from Attendees on Call Report drop-down menu on submitted calls. To add a new call attendee to a submitted call, end users must unlock the call for editing. See Unlocking Submitted Calls for more information.

    • Select Attendee not on call report
  5. Save or submit the call.

End users can reconcile multiple Microsoft Teams meeting attendees to the same Veeva CRM account or user. If the same Veeva CRM account or user is selected for multiple meeting attendees, removing the account or user from the call clears the match for all of those meeting attendees.

Additionally, when viewing the Attendees section of the call report, the Microsoft Teams icon displays for the Veeva CRM accounts and users who are already reconciled.

On Browser, end users can hover over the icon to view the meeting attendees reconciled with the account or user.
