Mapping New Contact to Existing Account

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 5

Hello! I have a question and would need some experts here to help me.

I have created a marketing form and will embed it to a website for getting new subscribers.
Per my understanding, when people click "submit" on my form they will become new contacts in the CRM.

If I want to map this new contact to an existing account, instead of doing it manually, is there a way to map them automatically?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Erika C,

    Power Automate Flow is a tool that can automated process your business with no-code/low-code. More details: Get started with Power Automate (contains video) - Power Automate | Microsoft Docs

    And in your case, you could create a automated cloud flow when your contact is created.

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for your reply!

    Yes I have included a field that should be able to map with the account ID. I am still working with our IT team to make that field auto-filled so that the new customers do not need to fill in that field (as they don't know what their assigned account ID is).

    But may I know what is a "Power Automate flow"?

    Thanks again!

    Cheers,

    Erika C

    Hi Erika C,

    Yes, you could use Power Automate flow to achieve this. However, you need to have a column/field on the Marketing Form to indicate which Account this customer belongs to.

    Do you have that field?
