This Submit Action allows you to start identifying xDB Contacts straight away. Sitecore behavior for identified Contacts can be synced to Dynamics later.
S4D does not yet have the ability to push Sitecore analytics to Dynamics 365.
This Sitecore Submit Action is provided by a default S4D installation, and allows adding an S4D recognized identifier to the current Sitecore xDB Contact.
This Submit Action must precede any Save to Dynamics Submit Action if you wish for the S4D facet to be saved against the Contact, which includes information on the Dynamics 365 entity created or updated.
A form field must be selected to Identify Sitecore Contact by, typically this would be an email address but allows any valid field that you wish to use as an identifier. The value of this field will be saved as the S4D identifier, unless empty.
Optionally you may store the Sitecore Alias Id of the xDB Contact in a form field. This can be useful for those who wish to use staging objects or otherwise need a reference to the identified Contact.
The Submit Action also offers optional functionality to save built-in Sitecore preferred Email and Personal Information facet values from form fields if you wish.
Contact identification requires the Sitecore Tracker to be running.
Testing and development
S4D includes significant debug logging output to help troubleshoot any problems.
