    Hi Manpreet,

    WhatId :-

    It refers to objects.

    ID of a related Account, Opportunity, Campaign, Case, or custom object. Label is Opportunity/Account ID.

    WhoId :-

    It refers to people.

    ID of a related Contact or Lead. If the WhoId refers to a lead, then the WhatId field must be empty. Label is Contact/Lead ID. If Shared Activities is enabled, this is the ID of a related Lead or primary Contact.
