Almanac

Consultant-focused KB for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys (formerly Marketing): implementation notes, gotchas, and configuration decisions beyond the official docs — across real-time journeys, segments, email and SMS marketing, event management, lead scoring, Copilot, analytics, and administration.

Features Microsoft has announced are going away for Dynamics 365 Customer Insights – Journeys, grouped by the area they affect. The mirror of the roadmap: what to plan a migration off, not what to adopt. 1 still to take effect · 2 already retired.

Email & SMS Marketing 2

Retired

Social posting

Support ended 2 Dec 2024 · 22 months ago

Social posting was removed on 2 December 2024. Social is no longer a channel in the product at all, so plan for a separate tool if the client expects it.

Event Management 1

Retiring

Teams live events, Teams Meeting and Teams Webinar event types

Effective 28 Feb 2027 · in 5 months

Teams live events and the Graph APIs that create them retired on 30 June 2026, with events already scheduled honoured until 28 February 2027. Teams Meeting and Teams Webinar are replaced by their v2 equivalents after the same date. Anything in Customer Insights - Journeys still using the old event types needs moving to Teams town halls or the v2 meeting and webinar types.

Move to Teams town halls for large-scale events; Teams Meeting v2 and Teams Webinar v2 for the rest

Retired

Marketing effectiveness analytics

Support ended 28 Feb 2025 · 19 months ago

Removed 28 February 2025. If a client is asking for cross-campaign effectiveness reporting, it has to come from journey analytics or an export to Power BI, not a built-in report.

Administration 1

Announced

Deprecated May 2026
