Field Mapping

Definition

A mapping between data fields used by two connected software systems.

How it works

Field mapping must reconcile data types, mandatory fields, date formats and phone-number conventions to prevent sync errors. Integration brings together customer records, telephony events and business workflows. Correct operation depends on consistent identifiers, synchronisation rules and permissions.

Business example

The Customer phone field in a CRM is mapped to the Phone attribute of a telephony platform.

What to consider

Test API failures, duplicate events, mandatory fields and recovery after temporary outages. Avoid exposing customer data unintentionally.
