Data Mapping

Key Entities & Field-Level Mapping: Clarity eCommerce to Dynamics CRM

Understanding the core entities and their intricate field-level mapping is crucial for a successful integration. Our iPaaS provides visual tools and AI assistance to streamline this complex process, ensuring data integrity and consistency.

Customer (Clarity eCommerce) / Contact & Account (Dynamics CRM)

Synchronizes customer profiles, contact details, and associated company information for a unified view.

Clarity eCommerce Fields

customerId firstName lastName email phone shippingAddresses billingAddresses accountStatus loyaltyPoints

Dynamics CRM Fields

contactid firstname lastname emailaddress1 telephone1 address1_composite parentcustomerid (Account) accountid name accountnumber

Mapping Notes

Clarity eCommerce 'Customer' maps to Dynamics CRM 'Contact'. If a company is associated, a Dynamics CRM 'Account' record is also created/updated, with the 'Contact' linked via `parentcustomerid`. Address fields require careful composite mapping. Deduplication logic is critical.

Explore how the integration behaves in real business scenarios, with clearly defined steps, outcomes, and execution patterns.

Real-time Customer Profile Sync

When a customer registers or updates their profile on Clarity eCommerce, their details are immediately updated or created as a 'Contact' and linked to an 'Account' in Dynamics CRM. Conversely, any updates by a CRM user sync back to Clarity eCommerce.

Integration Steps:

  1. 0 Customer updates shipping address in Clarity eCommerce.
  2. 1 Clarity eCommerce `Customer Updated` webhook event triggers iPaaS.
  3. 2 iPaaS fetches updated customer details from Clarity eCommerce `/api/v1/customers` endpoint.
  4. 3 iPaaS maps relevant fields to Dynamics CRM `contact` and `account` entities.
  5. 4 iPaaS performs `PATCH` operation on Dynamics CRM `/api/data/v9.x/contacts` and `/api/data/v9.x/accounts`.
  6. 5 Confirmation/error logging in iPaaS dashboard.

Business Outcome

Always current customer data, preventing shipping errors, enabling targeted marketing, and providing accurate customer context for sales and service.

Support & Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about integration implementation, security, and best practices.

General FAQs

What is the primary benefit of integrating Clarity eCommerce with Dynamics CRM?
The primary benefit is achieving a 'Customer 360' view and automating the 'Order-to-Cash' process. This means your sales, marketing, and service teams have a complete, real-time understanding of every customer's online interactions and purchase history, leading to better service, personalized marketing, and streamlined operations.

Data Flow FAQs

How does the integration handle customer data synchronization?
Customer data synchronization is typically bi-directional and event-driven. When a customer registers or updates their profile in Clarity eCommerce, an event triggers the iPaaS to update or create a corresponding 'Contact' (and 'Account') in Dynamics CRM. Conversely, updates in Dynamics CRM can be pushed back to Clarity eCommerce, ensuring consistency.

Workflows FAQs

Can I automate order creation from Clarity eCommerce into Dynamics CRM?
Absolutely. New orders placed in Clarity eCommerce trigger a real-time workflow in the iPaaS. This workflow transforms the Clarity eCommerce 'Order' data into a 'Sales Order' in Dynamics CRM, including line items, customer details, and shipping information, eliminating manual data entry.

AI Features FAQs

What role does AI play in this integration?
AI significantly enhances the integration by providing intelligent schema mapping suggestions, validating data for quality and anomalies, and even automating resolutions for common integration errors.

It monitors API usage and applies exponential backoff for retries to ensure compliance with Clarity eCommerce and Dynamics CRM rate limits.

Customization FAQs

Is it possible to customize the integration workflows?
Yes, the iPaaS platform offers extensive low-code/no-code capabilities, allowing business users and citizen integrators to customize and extend workflows. You can easily add custom fields, modify transformation rules, introduce conditional logic, and integrate with other systems using a visual drag-and-drop interface.

Security FAQs

What security measures are in place for the integration?
The integration adheres to stringent security protocols including OAuth 2.0/API Key authentication, HTTPS/TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit, secure credential management (secrets vault), IP whitelisting, and role-based access control. For payment data, tokenization and PCI DSS compliance are ensured.
