MB-910 Describe Dynamics 365 Customer Insights Practice Question

⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers think defining unification rules is the first step because it sounds like the core of profile creation, but Microsoft explicitly requires data to be ingested first, as unification rules operate on existing data entities.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure data sources and ingest data
In Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, the first step to creating a unified customer profile is to configure data sources and ingest data. Without data ingestion, there is no customer data to unify, segment, or analyze. This foundational step connects the CRM system, loyalty program database, and web analytics to the platform, enabling subsequent unification and segmentation.
