Today we are going to explore a common use case for how CiviCRM contacts can integrate with Drupal users using the CiviCRM Entity module. Managing contacts can be a daunting task for organizations, including many of our clients here at Skvare. With needs that include membership subscriptions, group emails, accepting donations, relationships to other contacts and organizations, and more - thankfully, CiviCRM answers each of these in a straightforward and user-friendly way. And by pairing with Drupal we enable custom user profiles, and any combination of contact-content referencing, while making use of advanced media features and display options. So before we dive in, how do we connect CiviCRM contacts and Drupal users? Please note that all synced contacts are for “Individual” contact types and subtypes within CiviCRM. Organizations (and Households) are thought of as “person-less” contacts. When a new user is registered in Drupal, through either a standard Drupal registration form or a CiviCRM-enabled profile webform, a contact is automatically created in CiviCRM with the same contact information and address.
