Update Customer LookUp with Contact or Account

This should be easy but I cannot find an answer to it.

 

Normally, to set a lookup field in you do /contacts(GUID) and it's great.

 

I've set a custom "Customer" field on a custom table. As per out of the box functionality it can accept a contact or an account, this is how it appears in PowerAutomate:

I need to have logic that relates it to an account or a contact based on data received. How do I do this? If I put /contacts(GUID) in contacts, it works, but if I put a value in both it fails.
