Body (from Message Center)

We are announcing Dynamics 365 Workforce Management (WEM) in M365 Copilot for customer service representatives and supervisors in Dynamics 365 Customer Service. This feature will reach general availability on July 20, 2026.

How does this affect me?
With this feature, Dynamics 365 Workforce Management now integrates directly with Microsoft 365 Copilot through the Model Context Protocol, bringing scheduling and request management into the surfaces your teams already use every day.

Contact center supervisors can review, approve, and reject time-off requests, shift swaps, and shift bids using natural language in Teams, Outlook, or on mobile, with all decisions propagated in real time to Dynamics 365 WEM and downstream scheduling systems. Customer service representatives gain self-service access to their published schedules, live leave balances sourced from your connected HR system, and the ability to clock in and out of shifts from any Microsoft 365 surface without navigating the Dynamics 365 application.

The integration is built on a registered WEM MCP tool set that enforces your existing Dynamics 365 security roles and data boundaries at the tool layer. Supervisors see only the requests and schedules within their authorized scope. Customer service representatives access only their own records. No new permission model is required, and no standalone mobile application needs to be built or maintained.
