Import Data Wizard - can you map data to multiple custom entities?

Posted on by 10

Hi there,

I have been tasked with trying to find a way to import data into multiple entities, some of which are custom. I know you can map fields to Account and Contact at the same time, but I wanted to know if it was possible to map the data to fields on multiple custom entities (or a mixture of custom and default) at once?

Thanks :)

    Hi Kenneth, thank you very much for your answer and welcome :) Thank you for these links - however when looking through them I realised I hadn't specified that I'm wanting to import data from a CSV/spreadsheet! I'm struggling to apply the info in your links to what I'm wanting to do, is there another method using CSV or is there a way to use the methods you've supplied? I'm relatively new to this so sometimes translating help articles using the limited knowledge I have is tricky! Thank you :)

    Hi,

    These docs can be extreme useful to achieve what you need:

    Map your data to custom entities and fields - Dynamics 365 AI | Microsoft Docs

    Map form data to entities with custom Workflows (Dynamics 365 Marketing) | Microsoft Docs

    Create data maps for import (Developer Guide for Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises)) | Microsoft Docs

    Last one is for on-prem environments.
