What is ClickDimensions?
In a nutshell, ClickDimensions allows you take your Email Marketing and web content and integrate it seamlessly with your Dynamics environment. For example, you can design emails with us, send them to Leads and Contacts, and get live statistics on who interacted with your message.
You can also see Leads and Contacts browsing your website, use forms to generate new Leads and Contacts, track survey responses, and much more.
ClickDimensions in Dynamics
Since ClickDimensions is fully integrated into Dynamics, new users may find it tricky at first to spot which parts of the software are ClickDimensions features. Most ClickDimensions features can be found in two sections of Dynamics. In Dynamics environments using UCI navigation, it's located in the left sidebar menu under Planning, Messaging, Web and Events, Library, Audience and Settings and Support. In Dynamics environments using the legacy navigation, it's located under Settings and Marketing.
This article contains an overview of the various ClickDimensions feature areas. Follow the links in each section to learn more about the features and how to access them.
