Keep each record tied to its source ID. Use the references below to choose field owners and preserve relationships between records.
Customer identity
Customers / Contacts
Before linking Dynamics 365 F&O Customers to SendGrid Contacts, check whether the customer is an individual or a company. Match the correct record type in each system.
Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.
- Dynamics 365 F&O
- Object support to establish

- Documented record · Read: ✅ Supported. Write: Not available (read-only connector).
- Record identity
- Determine whether each customer represents an individual, a company, or a business-unit relationship before matching it to a contact or organization. Retain the source customer ID and destination ID; names and email alone are insufficient.
- Field ownership
- Separate the customer relationship from contact details, billing authority, and consent. Choose an owner for each field after identifying whether the customer is a person or company.
Fields to include
- Source customer ID
- Person/company classification
- Legal entity or business unit
- Destination identity reference
- Record dependencies
- Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.
- Validation
- Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.
- Recovery
- Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.
