before you go down that route, keep in mind that if you have the account number from your data dip, you can use that to perform your screenpop which will set the name/related to (depending on what you're screenpopping) in the call log automatically.

Hi Richard,
thanks for answering my question. I'll try to configure the custom event to populate the related to field.
Thanks again

The name and related to fields are populated from Call Logging UI withing the client. The selection can be initially populated by the screenpop or by the user navigation within Salesforce (if that is configured in your call center). Here's a good video that covers all of this: https://help.mypurecloud.com/video/call-logging/
For your specific scenario, if you screenpop to the account record, then it will be the "related to"/"whatId" automatically.
Additionally, there is the option to use the custom events to programatically set the call log associations regardless of what happened on the screenpop, agent navigation, etc. https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/events-in-salesforce/#add-asso-light
Basically, because the Name and Related To fields are contextually driven from within the conversation, they are not listed within the attributes mapping section, but rather are expected to be updated via screenpop, navigation, agent entry, or via the custom events.
