Overview
Actimo stores employee engagement data differently than a traditional CRM: users are non-desk workers tracked in workspaces, with training enrollments, pulse survey responses, and learning path completions forming the core records. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales stores contacts and accounts, with custom entities available via Dataverse for learning and training records that have no native equivalent. The migration carries Actimo user profiles (converted to Dynamics 365 Contacts), workspace associations (mapped to Account records), training completion records (as custom learning entities), and survey response history (as custom activity entities). Pulse surveys and gamification data lack direct Dynamics 365 equivalents and are preserved as reference custom fields for admin review. Learning paths, which are sequential structures in Actimo, require Dynamics 365 administrators to rebuild using Learning Path or custom entities. The migration uses Actimo's export API to extract user and training data, transforms records into Dataverse-compatible formats, and loads through Dynamics 365's bulk import with field-level validation. Scoped read access ensures Actimo operations continue during the cutover window.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Actimo object lands in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales , including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Actimo
User
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Actimo users (non-desk workers) map directly to Dynamics 365 Contacts. Email, first name, last name, phone, and job title fields migrate as-is. Users without an email are flagged for manual review since Dynamics 365 requires a unique email for Contact records.
Actimo
Workspace
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Actimo workspaces map to Dynamics 365 Accounts. Workspace name becomes Account Name; workspace domain or primary location becomes the Account address. Multi-location workspaces require splitting into multiple Account records with parent-child relationships in Dynamics 365. The workspace description and any tags migrate as custom fields on the Account record for reference. Workspace administrators are recorded as Account Contact records or linked via the Account Manager lookup depending on your security configuration.
Actimo
Workspace Membership
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account Contact Relationship
1:1Actimo workspace membership (which users belong to which workspaces) becomes Dynamics 365 Account Contact Relationships. Primary workspace membership maps to the primary AccountId on the Contact; secondary memberships are added as additional relationship records. The membership start date and role within the workspace migrate as custom fields on the relationship record for historical reference. Workspace admin status translates to a custom flag field on the Contact record.
Actimo
Training Enrollment
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity: TrainingEnrollment
1:1Actimo training enrollments have no native Dynamics 365 equivalent. We create a custom TrainingEnrollment Dataverse table with fields for training course name, enrollment date, completion date, status, and quiz score. The ContactId lookup links each enrollment to the employee Contact.
Actimo
Training Completion
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity: TrainingCompletion
1:1Training completion records with quiz scores and completion timestamps become a custom TrainingCompletion Dataverse entity. Score values, pass/fail status, and completion timestamps migrate as custom fields. Quiz answer details are stored as a JSON blob in a notes field for admin reference.
Actimo
Learning Path
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity: LearningPath + custom junction
1:1Actimo learning paths (sequential course progressions) have no Dynamics 365 equivalent. We create a custom LearningPath entity and a LearningPathEnrollment junction entity linking the path to Contact records. The sequence order and required courses require manual rebuild in Dynamics 365 or the Learning Path module.
Actimo
Pulse Survey
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity: PulseSurveyResponse
1:1Actimo pulse survey questions and responses become a custom PulseSurveyResponse Dataverse entity. Survey title, question text, response value, and response date migrate as custom fields. Anonymous survey responses are flagged since Dynamics 365 audit trails require owner attribution on every record. We assign anonymous responses to a designated admin service account to satisfy ownership requirements, with a flag indicating the original anonymity status.
Actimo
Engagement Score
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field on Contact: Actimo_EngagementScore
1:1Actimo's gamification engagement scores (points, badges, leaderboard ranks) have no native Dynamics 365 equivalent. We migrate the most recent engagement score as a custom Number field on the Contact record and store badge history as a JSON text field for reference.
Actimo
Message/News Post
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note
1:1Actimo news feed posts and internal communications can migrate as Dynamics 365 Notes attached to the relevant Contact or Account. We map the message body, post date, and author. Rich media content (videos, images) is downloaded and reattached as Dynamics 365 FileAttachments.
Actimo
Group Chat / Social Post
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note or Custom Activity
1:1Actimo group chats and social wall posts lack direct Dynamics 365 equivalents. We preserve message content as Notes on the originating Contact record for reference. The conversational thread structure is not transferable and requires rebuilding as Teams channels or custom chat entities if needed.
Actimo
User Custom Properties
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Fields on Contact
1:1Actimo user-level custom properties (beyond standard fields) migrate as custom fields on the Dynamics 365 Contact record. Custom property names are converted to Dataverse schema naming (no spaces, alphanumeric only) and data types are inferred from Actimo values (text, number, picklist).
Actimo
Training Custom Properties
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Fields on TrainingEnrollment
1:1Actimo training-level custom properties (course metadata, custom quiz fields) migrate as custom fields on the custom TrainingEnrollment Dataverse entity. Picklist values from Actimo require value-by-value mapping to Dataverse option set values. We validate that option set labels match Actimo terminology and flag any custom property types that require manual type conversion during the mapping phase.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Actimo data inventory and workspace structure
FlitStack connects to Actimo via scoped read access and inventories all user records, workspace memberships, training enrollments, quiz completions, pulse survey responses, and engagement scores. We document custom property definitions, non-standard field types, and any data integrity issues (duplicate emails, missing required fields). This audit produces a migration scope document that identifies which Actimo entities map directly to Dynamics 365 standard objects and which require custom Dataverse entity creation. The audit also identifies workspace structures that need to become Account hierarchies in Dynamics 365.
Design Dataverse custom entities for non-CRM Actimo data
For training enrollments, learning paths, pulse surveys, and engagement scores that lack native Dynamics 365 equivalents, FlitStack designs custom Dataverse entities with appropriate field types, option sets, and relationships. If your organization runs Dynamics 365 Sales Professional, we assess whether the 15-table limit accommodates your training data model or whether an Enterprise license upgrade is needed. The Dataverse schema design document is delivered for your Dynamics 365 administrator to implement before migration data loads begin. We validate the schema matches our field mapping plan before proceeding.
Export, transform, and validate a sample migration slice
We extract a representative slice of Actimo records — typically 200–500 users spanning multiple workspaces, with training completions, survey responses, and varying engagement levels — and load them into Dynamics 365. The sample includes users with custom properties, shared emails, and incomplete training enrollments to test edge cases. We generate a field-level validation report comparing source values against destination field values, identifying any truncation, type mismatches, or mapping gaps. Your team reviews the sample and approves the field mapping before the full migration runs.
Run full migration with delta-pickup window
FlitStack executes the full data migration from Actimo to Dynamics 365, loading users, workspace memberships, training records, survey responses, and engagement data into the approved Dataverse schema. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs concurrently, capturing any records created or modified in Actimo during the migration window. All operations are logged in an audit trail that maps each Dynamics 365 record back to its source Actimo ID. After the delta pickup completes, we run a reconciliation check comparing record counts by entity type and sampling field values for accuracy.
Deliver migration summary and rebuild reference package
FlitStack delivers a final migration summary report listing record counts by entity, any records that failed validation with error reasons, and the mapping audit log. The rebuild reference package includes: (1) an Actimo workflow definitions export for rebuilding automation in Power Automate, (2) a learning path sequence document for rebuilding course progressions in Dynamics 365 Learning Path or your chosen LMS, and (3) gamification metric definitions for rebuilding engagement dashboards in Power BI. One-click rollback is available for 72 hours post-migration if reconciliation identifies critical data issues.
