Hi,

Use below code to get entitType of customer field.

// late bound

if (entity.Contains("customerid") && entity["customerid"] != null) {

EntityReference customer = (EntityReference)entity["customerid"];

Console.WriteLine("The customer type of this lead is " + customer.LogicalName);

}

See below article for more info.
