Change Events for Person Accounts

Creating and Undeleting a Person Account
When creating or undeleting a person account, the account change event contains both account and contact fields that are not null. It contains all non-null fields from the account record and some fields from the contact record. The contact fields that the account change event includes are all custom contact fields and some standard contact fields, which start with the Person prefix.

Updating a Person Account
When updating a person account, two change events are generated, one for the account and one for the contact, regardless which fields changed. Salesforce always updates the LastModifiedDate system field in both the account and contact even if the field updated is only in one of the underlying records.

Converting an Account
If a person account is converted to a business account through the API by modifying the record type ID, a change event for the account is generated. This change event contains the new record type ID of the account.

Deleting a Person Account
When deleting a person account, two change events are generated: one for the deleted account and one for the deleted contact. The change events don’t contain record fields. They contain only event header fields.
