# Dynamic Field Mapping

WhatsApp4Dynamics makes it easy to turn real-time conversations into actionable CRM records. With **Dynamic Field Mapping**, you can auto-populate fields when creating records, whether for standard entities like *Contacts* and *Cases*, or custom ones like *Orders*. This streamlines data entry, reduces errors, and ensures consistency across your CRM.

Imagine you’re chatting with a customer on WhatsApp. With just a few clicks, you can create a new *Order* record directly from the chat, automatically filled in with data from their *Contact* record (like name, email, and phone number).

**Here’s how it works:**

* First, configure field mappings inside Dynamics 365.
* Go to **Advanced Settings.**

* Look for the relationship where the **Related Entity** is **Order**.

* Click Mappings to open the field mapping editor. Select the field for mappings and click OK.

* For example:

Map Contact Name → Customer Name

Map Email → Email Address

Repeat for each field you want to map between both the entities.

After mapping the fields, click Save and Close in the mapping window.<br>

* Now, when you’re chatting in WhatsApp and click **Create Record**, select **Order** from the dropdown.

* The Order form opens with mapped fields already filled in from the Contact.

* Just review, complete any remaining details, and hit **Save and Close**.

The newly created record will:

* Be linked to the current WhatsApp conversation via the *Regarding* field
* Include all mapped customer data, saving you time and ensuring accuracy
