Obfusticate Data in Dynamics 365 using Data Factory

Hi,

I'm hoping to use Data Factory to anonymise data in a Dynamics 365 instance. I've been trawling the forums and articles and still can't work out how to make it work. So basically:-

  1. The source and sink are the same Dynamics instance
  2. I need to pull personal data from the contacts entity such as firstname, lastname, birthday, email address and phone number
  3. randomise this data
  4. Write them back into the same Dynamics instance.

Would appreciate any guidance this group can give.

    Hi @Simon Morris ,

    Thank you for posting query in Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    Dynamics 365 Connector can be used to perform data copy. Click here to know more about this connector.

    It seems as per your requirement you need to do some transformations as well on your source data before loading it to Sink. IF yes, Consider using data flows instead of copy activity.

    Click here to know about Dynamics connector Copy activity properties.

    Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
