4. Select an object that is related to a Person Account as the source of this entry event.
5. Select to fire the event when records are created, updated, or when either action occurs.
6. Select an ID under **Who do you want to inject?**
    1. To admit the Person account, select **Account ID (PersonAccount)**.

    Note When a Person Account is created, an identical Contact record is created in the Sales and Service Cloud.

These fields are added to journey data automatically:

- The ID of the person entering the journey - if it’s a Person Account, the Person Contact ID of the Account record is added. This ID must be used to link the data extension to an attribute group.
- The contact record email address, which is added automatically to Default Channel Addresses
- The contact record email opt-out flag
