Proposed workflow

Company sync test

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting eventA change involving Demandbase Accounts or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Accounts needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Demandbase Accounts and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Accounts. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.

  2. Resolve parent organizations, business units, and currency references before dependent transactions.

  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

What to verifyUse two organizations with similar names and one with multiple business units. Verify that an update reaches the intended entity only.

Record matching

Accounts / Accounts

Compare whether Demandbase Accounts and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Accounts describe the same company in your business.

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Demandbase
Object support to establish
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Object support to establish
Record identity
Retain the source company ID and the destination customer/company ID. Separate legal entities, subsidiaries, and business units; a shared name or web domain is insufficient.
Field ownership
Assign ownership separately for relationship details and finance-controlled billing details.

Fields to include

  • Source record ID
  • Legal or display name
  • Business-unit reference
  • Lifecycle status
Record dependencies
Resolve parent organizations, business units, and currency references before dependent transactions.
Validation
Use two organizations with similar names and one with multiple business units. Verify that an update reaches the intended entity only.
Recovery
Repair the cross-system ID relationship before retrying dependent records; do not merge companies solely to remove a sync error.

Fields to include

  • Source record reference
  • Destination record reference
  • Approved handoff state
  • Duplicate-detection key
Record dependencies
Map the customer and sales pipeline before the opportunity; map stage values deliberately.
Validation
Repeat the approved handoff and verify that it locates the existing order; test a reopened deal without silently cancelling fulfillment.
Recovery
Suspend downstream creation for a rejected deal and review whether an order already exists before retrying.

Recovery
Suspend downstream creation for a rejected deal and review whether an order already exists before retrying.

Compare integration approaches

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Accounts / Accounts to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit
Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Retain the source company ID and the destination customer/company ID. Separate legal entities, subsidiaries, and business units; a shared name or web domain is insufficient. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Demandbase and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Accounts / Accounts, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider explicit orchestration for the Opportunities / Orders handoff.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit
Consider for a one-time Demandbase / Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow scenarios and expected results

Company sync test

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Accounts or Accounts record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Demandbase Accounts and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Accounts. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve parent organizations, business units, and currency references before dependent transactions.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Use two organizations with similar names and one with multiple business units. Verify that an update reaches the intended entity only.

If it fails: Repair the cross-system ID relationship before retrying dependent records; do not merge companies solely to remove a sync error.

Contact sync test

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected People (Persons) or Contacts record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Demandbase People (Persons) and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Contacts. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve the organization relationship and any owner or consent references required by the destination.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test an email change, two records sharing an email, and a person associated with multiple organizations.

If it fails: Hold ambiguous matches for review and reconcile the person ID before retrying; preserve the consent decision already recorded by its owner.

Deal or opportunity process handoff

Planning example. Stacksync support for the required connection and record operations needs a technical review.

Starting event: A change to the selected Opportunities or Orders record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Demandbase Opportunities and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Orders. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Map the customer and sales pipeline before the opportunity; map stage values deliberately.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Repeat the approved handoff and verify that it locates the existing order; test a reopened deal without silently cancelling fulfillment.

If it fails: Suspend downstream creation for a rejected deal and review whether an order already exists before retrying.

Link audience context between Demandbase and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

This is an evaluation scenario; connector and operation support require confirmation.

Starting event: An approved customer or campaign change affects eligibility or reporting in Demandbase.

  1. Identify the relevant Accounts or Opportunities and the corresponding identity in Accounts or Contacts.
  2. Choose the authority for consent, audience membership, and campaign activation. Reporting a customer attribute does not authorize outreach.
  3. Define how unsubscribes, deleted identities, and late activity change the current audience.

Expected result: A removed or ineligible person stays excluded after a repeated update; audience membership refers to the correct identity.

If it fails: Recompute current eligibility before retrying membership or activation; do not replay an obsolete permission to contact someone.

Initial load and acceptance testing

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.

Accounts / Accounts

Test case

Use two organizations with similar names and one with multiple business units. Verify that an update reaches the intended entity only.

Expected result

The expected company relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

People (Persons) / Contacts

Test case

Test an email change, two records sharing an email, and a person associated with multiple organizations.

Expected result

The expected contact relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Opportunities / Orders

Test case

Repeat the approved handoff and verify that it locates the existing order; test a reopened deal without silently cancelling fulfillment.

Expected result

The expected deal or opportunity relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Opportunities / Opportunities

Test case

Test a reopened won deal, a stage with no destination equivalent, and an amount using a different currency.

Expected result

The expected deal or opportunity relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Direction and permissions

Test case

Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.

Expected result

Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.

Freshness and reconciliation

Test case

Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.

Expected result

The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.

Failed updates, retries and recovery

Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.

Rejected or repeated company change

Investigate

Inspect Demandbase Accounts and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Accounts, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Repair the cross-system ID relationship before retrying dependent records; do not merge companies solely to remove a sync error.

Rejected or repeated contact change

Investigate

Inspect Demandbase People (Persons) and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Contacts, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Hold ambiguous matches for review and reconcile the person ID before retrying; preserve the consent decision already recorded by its owner.

Rejected or repeated deal or opportunity change

Investigate

Inspect Demandbase Opportunities and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Orders, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Suspend downstream creation for a rejected deal and review whether an order already exists before retrying.

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the Demandbase and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.

Next action

Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.

Source and destination disagree after a retry

Investigate

Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.

Next action

Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.

Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.
