MB-910 Describe Dynamics 365 Customer Insights Practice Question
A retail company wants to use Dynamics 365 Customer Insights to create a unified customer profile from data stored in their CRM, e-commerce platform, and loyalty program. The data includes customer names, email addresses, purchase history, and loyalty points. The company discovers that some customers appear multiple times with slight variations in their email addresses (e.g., 'john.doe@contoso.com' vs 'johndoe@contoso.com'). What should the company configure in Customer Insights to resolve this issue?
⚠ Common exam trap
Many candidates assume the data unification process automatically handles all duplicate variations, but without configuring fuzzy matching rules, exact-match-only logic will fail to merge records with minor email differences, leading to incomplete unified profiles.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create a matching rule with fuzzy matching on the email field.
Fuzzy matching in Dynamics 365 Customer Insights allows the data unification process to identify and merge records that have slight variations in email addresses, such as missing dots or other minor differences. This is achieved by configuring a matching rule that uses fuzzy logic to compare email fields, enabling the system to recognize 'john.doe@contoso.com' and 'johndoe@contoso.com' as the same customer and create a unified profile.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Use an enrichment to standardize email addresses.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Enrichments add data from external sources but do not merge duplicates.
- ✗
Define a relationship between the customer entity and the email field.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Relationships link tables for analysis, not for deduplication.
- ✗
Run the data unification process, which automatically handles duplicates.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Unification is a guided process that includes matching, but it requires configuring matching rules; it does not auto-handle all duplicates.
- ✓
Create a matching rule with fuzzy matching on the email field.
Why this is correct
Correct. Matching rules with fuzzy matching identify and merge duplicate profiles based on similar email addresses.
