Import the latest company profile data—such as personas, number of employees, and company URL—from LinkedIn Sales Insights into a matched account in Dynamics 365 automatically. Importing this data reduces the manual effort required to match company profiles between the two products, enter the details in Dynamics 365 Sales and frequently update data as LSI updates them.
