Record matching
Accounts / Organizations
Compare whether Microsoft Dynamics 365 Accounts and Zendesk Organizations describe the same company in your business.
Object-specific availability and field permissions determine this mapping. Use the restrictions shown for each record type.

- 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.
