Overview
Allegory stores contacts, companies, deals, and activity records in a flat CRM model. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales runs on Dataverse with a relational schema: Accounts before Contacts, Opportunities tied to Accounts with Business Process Flows, and separate Lead management. The migration carries all standard objects, custom fields, and activity history into Dynamics 365 while surfacing Allegory workflow definitions for rebuild in Power Automate. The key challenges are mapping Allegory's single pipeline model to Dynamics 365 Business Process Flows per business unit, preserving original create and modification timestamps that Dynamics 365 resets at migration time, handling Allegory tags as reference text in a custom field since no native Dynamics 365 equivalent exists, and managing owner resolution by email match against Dynamics 365 users. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly, runs a sample with field-level diff before the full run, and captures a delta window for in-flight changes during cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Allegory 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.
Allegory
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Allegory contacts migrate as Dynamics 365 Sales Contact records. Each Contact requires an AccountId lookup, so Allegory contacts without a primary company link to a default placeholder Account. Multi-company associations from Allegory collapse to one primary AccountId with the rest recorded in the Account Contact Relationship table.
Allegory
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Allegory companies map directly to Dynamics 365 Sales Account records. Parent-child company hierarchies in Allegory translate to Account.ParentAccountId references in Dynamics 365, which must resolve in the correct dependency order to avoid orphaned records. Circular references between Allegory companies are detected during the schema audit phase and flagged for manual resolution before migration begins.
Allegory
Lead
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1Allegory leads migrate as Dynamics 365 Sales Lead records. Allegory lead source attribution maps to the Lead.leadqualitycode field, and any lead score data from Allegory migrates as a custom field since Dynamics 365 Sales has no native lead-scoring field. If Allegory stores lead status as a separate property, that value maps to the Lead.statecode picklist during migration.
Allegory
Deal
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Allegory deals map to Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity records. Each Opportunity requires an AccountId lookup, and the Allegory deal stage name maps to the Opportunity StageName pick-list using a value-by-value translation defined per Dynamics 365 Sales Process. Probability percentages and forecast categories from Allegory are stored as custom fields or mapped from the Business Process Flow configuration.
Allegory
Pipeline
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Business Process Flow
1:1Allegory pipelines transform into Dynamics 365 Sales Business Process Flows. Each Allegory pipeline requires a separate Business Process Flow in Dynamics 365 so that stage labels, required fields, and progression logic are scoped to the correct business unit or deal type.
Allegory
Pipeline Stage
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity StageName
1:1Allegory pipeline stage names map to Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity StageName values on a one-to-one basis. Each stage mapping includes the probability percentage and forecast category from the Dynamics 365 Sales Process configuration. Stage-entered timestamps from Allegory are stored as custom datetime fields.
Allegory
Activity (Email)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task
1:1Allegory email records migrate as Dynamics 365 Sales Task records with Type='Email'. The original email subject, body, sender, recipients, and timestamp are preserved in the Task record. HTML formatting may be simplified during Dataverse import; FlitStack AI maintains a plain-text fallback in the Description field for reference integrity when HTML constructs are stripped.
Allegory
Activity (Call)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task
1:1Allegory call logs migrate as Dynamics 365 Sales Task records with Type='Phone Call'. Call duration, outcome, direction (inbound/outbound), and original timestamps transfer as task fields, with call notes and outcome details stored in the Task Description or a custom field for post-migration reference and reporting.
Allegory
Activity (Meeting)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Event
1:1Allegory meeting records migrate as Dynamics 365 Sales Event records with original start time, end time, location, subject, and description preserved. Meeting attendees are stored in the Event Attendees collection where Allegory provides that data, and calendar synchronization settings are mapped to the corresponding Dynamics 365 Event fields.
Allegory
Custom Field
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Column (Dataverse)
1:1Allegory custom fields migrate as Dataverse custom columns on the corresponding entity. Sales Professional tier limits custom tables to 15; if Allegory exceeds that, schema consolidation or an Enterprise license upgrade is required before migration. Custom column display names use Allegory field labels; field-level security can be configured in Dynamics 365 post-migration.
Allegory
Tag / Category
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Text Field
1:1Allegory tags and category labels have no native Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. FlitStack AI preserves the full tag string as a custom text field on each record so teams can reference the original taxonomy. Rebuilding tags into Dynamics 365 Teams or category structures is a post-migration configuration step.
Allegory
Attachment / File
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note (Annotation)
1:1Allegory file attachments migrate as Dynamics 365 Sales Note records. Files are re-uploaded to Dynamics 365 SharePoint-integrated storage. File size limits of 25 MB per file in Dynamics 365 apply; larger Allegory files are flagged for manual handling before the migration run.

Migration approach
Extract Allegory data and build Dynamics 365 schema
FlitStack AI pulls all Allegory objects via the platform's API: contacts, companies, leads, deals, activities, and custom fields. Simultaneously, we create the Dynamics 365 Sales custom columns, Business Process Flows, and pick-list values required for the migration. The schema setup plan names every custom field, its Dynamics 365 data type, and any pick-list values that need creation before data lands.
Validate API access and owner resolution readiness
FlitStack AI confirms that both Allegory API endpoints and Dynamics 365 Dataverse web API credentials are active and have sufficient rate-limit headroom for the expected record volume. We then run an owner-resolution query, matching Allegory owner email addresses against Dynamics 365 Sales user records. Any unmatched owners are reported with their Allegory record count so your team can provision users or assign fallback owners before migration begins.
Sequence and run the data migration with dependency ordering
The migration runs in dependency order: Accounts first (since Contacts require AccountId), then Contacts and Leads, then Opportunities with their Business Process Flow assignments and stage mapping, then Activity records as Tasks and Events. Each phase waits for the previous phase to validate before committing. Timestamps, owner assignments, and association links are resolved at each phase so no record lands with a broken foreign key.
Execute a sample migration with field-level diff
Before the full migration runs, FlitStack AI migrates a representative slice — typically 50–200 records spanning contacts, accounts, opportunities, and activities. We generate a field-level diff comparing each Allegory field value against the Dynamics 365 Sales destination field, so you can verify owner resolution, lifecycle stage mapping, pipeline-to-Business-Process-Flow assignment, and stage-name translations before the full run commits. This validation step catches mapping errors early and allows your team to confirm data integrity across all major entity types before the production migration begins.
Cut over with delta-pickup and one-click rollback
The full migration commits to Dynamics 365 Sales. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Allegory records created or modified during the cutover period, ensuring Dynamics 365 reflects the final Allegory state at go-live. FlitStack AI generates a reconciliation audit log comparing record counts and field-value totals between Allegory and Dynamics 365. One-click rollback reverts the Dynamics 365 environment to its pre-migration snapshot if reconciliation reveals data-integrity issues.
