Build fully-integrated custom applications
From custom AI and analytics to performance managemement and learning platforms, developers are leveraging our drivers to power all kinds of real-time integrations with Dynamics CRM.
What is a Dynamics CRM driver?
A Dynamics CRM driver is a software library that enables applications to interact with Dynamics CRM as though it were a traditional database. These drivers simplify communication by abstracting API complexities, presenting Salesforce data in a structured, database-like format.
What is a Dynamics CRM connector?
A Dynamics CRM connector is a tailored integration designed to allow proprietary applications or unique systems to seamlessly interact with Dynamics CRM. Built on the same robust engine as our Dynamics CRM drivers, these connectors provide effortless real-time access to Dynamics CRM data for extended application functionality.
How is developing with a Dynamics CRM driver different?
Drivers streamline integration by abstracting Dynamics CRM APIs, allowing you to access its data through standard interfaces like SQL, making them perfect for data-focused applications.
- Pragmatic API Integration: from SDKs to Data Drivers
- Data APIs: Gateway to Data Driven Operation & Digital Transformation

Frequently asked Dynamics CRM integration questions
Common questions about Dynamics CRM drivers & connectors for data and analytics integration
How does the Dynamics CRM Driver work?
The Dynamics CRM driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Dynamics CRM, allowing the application to read, write, and update data as if it were a relational database. The Dynamics CRM driver abstracts the complexities of Dynamics CRM APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Dynamics CRM data in real-time via standard SQL queries.
How is using the Dynamics CRM Driver different than connecting to the Dynamics CRM API?
Working with a Dynamics CRM Driver is different than connecting with Dynamics CRM through other means. Dynamics CRM API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Dynamics CRM integration code moving forward.
By comparison, our Dynamics CRM Drivers offer codeless access to live Dynamics CRM data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Dynamics CRM data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to Dynamics CRM data. We manage all of the complexities of Dynamics CRM integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.
If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to Dynamics CRM via CData Connect Cloud. With Connect Cloud you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to Dynamics CRM from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to Dynamics CRM is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when Dynamics CRM is updated.
How is a Dynamics CRM Driver different than a Dynamics CRM connector?
Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Dynamics CRM, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.
Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData Dynamics CRM driver offers full-featured Dynamics CRM data connectivity. The CData Dynamics CRM drivers support extensive Dynamics CRM integration, providing access to all of the Dynamics CRM data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all Dynamics CRM data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.
Is Dynamics CRM SQL based?
With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Dynamics CRM driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Dynamics CRM API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Dynamics CRM as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Dynamics CRM is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Dynamics CRM looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Dynamics CRM connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.
What data can I access with the Dynamics CRM driver?
The Dynamics CRM drivers and connectors offer comprehensive access to Dynamics CRM data. Our Dynamics CRM driver exposes static and dynamic data and metadata, providing universal access to Dynamics CRM data for any enterprise analytics or data mangement use. To explore the Dynamics CRM driver data model, please review the edition-specific Dynamics CRM driver documentation.
What does Dynamics CRM integrate with?
Using the CData Dynamics CRM drivers and connectors, Dynamics CRM can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live Dynamics CRM data connectivity. Explore some of the more popular Dynamics CRM data integrations online.
Additionally, since Dynamics CRM supported by CData Connect Cloud, we enable all kinds of new Dynamics CRM cloud integrations.
How can I enable Dynamics CRM Analytics?
Dynamics CRM Analytics and Dynamics CRM Cloud BI integration is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify Dynamics CRM data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.
How can I support Dynamics CRM Data Integration?
Dynamics CRM data integration is typically enabled with CData Sync, a robust any-to-any data pipeline solution that is easy to set up, runs everywhere, and offers comprehensive enterprise-class features for data engineering. CData Sync makes it easy to replicate Dynamics CRM data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental Dynamics CRM replication. In addition, our Dynamics CRM drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.
