Dynamics 365 for Membership Organisations & Associations
Grow and retain members with a connected Dynamics 365 platform covering onboarding, subscriptions, renewals, events and engagement — built on Dataverse, Power Platform and Azure.
Sound familiar?
Common challenges facing associations and membership bodies.
Members lapse without warning
Renewal reminders are manual and inconsistent, so members quietly stop renewing.
Event coordination is chaotic
Registrations, attendance and follow-up are spread across separate tools that don't talk to each other.
No early warning on disengaged members
You find out a member has checked out only after they fail to renew.
Staff buried in routine member requests
Simple tasks like updating details or booking events consume staff time that could go elsewhere.
A complete platform for membership organisations
Dynamics 365 can be configured to support the full range of association and membership processes.
Member Onboarding
New member registration, application review, welcome journeys and self-service sign-up.
Subscription & Renewal Management
Membership tiers, subscription terms, automated renewal reminders and lapsed-member workflows.
Payments & Billing
Card payments, Direct Debit, BACS, invoicing, payment schedules and reconciliation.
Events & Conferences
Event registration, attendee management, invitations, event payments and attendance tracking.
Engagement Scoring
Scoring models built on event attendance, communication activity and renewal history to flag at-risk members.
Member Communications
Segmentation, email campaigns, engagement journeys and preference management.
Self-Service Member Portal
Power Pages portals for updating details, renewing subscriptions, registering for events and accessing resources.
Customer Service
Case management, email and phone channels, knowledge management, queues, routing and SLAs.
Reporting & Insight
Power BI dashboards covering membership growth, retention, renewals, events and engagement.
Power Platform, Azure & AI for membership organisations
Dynamics 365 provides the CRM foundation, while Power Platform and Azure extend the platform to support member self-service, automation and insight.
-
Power Apps & Power Automate — tailored applications and automated renewal, onboarding and event workflows.

Power Pages — secure self-service member portals for renewals, event registration and profile updates.
-
Power BI — dashboards covering membership growth, retention, events and engagement scoring.
-
Azure & AI — integration, data processing and Copilot-enabled assistants for staff and members.
A connected platform for your members
