Frequently asked question

  • Q. What happens when the user makes the lead company name null in Dynamics? 

Ans: After importing the lead, if the user makes the lead company name null in Dynamics, then in Cadence, it will show the previous name. This is because Cadence does not support null in the company name.

 

  • Q. Are duplicate account names supported in Cadence ?

Ans: Duplicate account names are not supported in Cadence, as we only get the company name during Excel import.
