### How do I send data for Person Accounts?
89-
A [Person Account](https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api.meta/api/sforce_api_guidelines_personaccounts.htm){:target="_blank"} is a special type of account that represents an individual rather than a business. The requirements for Person Account records differ from what Segment’s standard Account action supports. For example, `Name` is required for Accounts, whereas `LastName` is required for Person Accounts. To send data for Person Accounts, you must use the Custom Object action. Hardcode the Salesforce Object to `Account` and define other standard and custom fields, such as `LastName` and `FirstName`, in the Other Fields mapping.

Person Accounts are not enabled by default, and the solution above will only work if you have Person Accounts enabled. If you do not have Person Accounts enabled, please use the standard Account action.
