Overview
CINC Systems is a real estate CRM built around lead generation, automated follow-up sequences, and behavioral event tracking for agents and brokerages. Its data model centers on Leads with engagement scores, Companies with property associations, and a Deals object for commissions. CINC's API exports contacts, leads, companies, and activity history as structured records with owner IDs and timestamps. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales organizes data around Accounts (the Account table), Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities. Dynamics 365 uses the Dataverse data platform, meaning every custom field created during migration gets a new_ prefix and lives as a column on the target table. The Lead entity in Dynamics captures lifecycle status through the msdyncrm_leadstage field, which functions differently from CINC's behavioral lead scoring model. We map CINC Leads to Dynamics 365 Leads with leadscore preserved as a custom integer field, CINC Companies to Dynamics Accounts, and CINC Deals to Dynamics Opportunities. CINC's engagement activities (calls, emails, texts) migrate as Dynamics 365 Activities attached to the parent Account or Contact record. Behavioral event history that drives CINC's auto-follow-up logic does not have a native Dynamics equivalent—these events are preserved as a custom ActivityLog__c table for reference and rebuilt logic in Power Automate. Workflows, automated sequences, and CINC's AI-driven lead routing rules do not migrate. They must be rebuilt using Dynamics 365 Sales workflows, Power Automate, or Dynamics Sales Insights. We export CINC workflow definitions as JSON for your Dynamics admin to reference during rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a CINC 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.
CINC
Lead
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1CINC Lead maps directly to Dynamics 365 Lead. The lead's firstname, lastname, email, phone, and address fields map to the corresponding Lead attributes. Owner resolution by email match identifies the Dynamics User. CINC leadscore maps to new_leadscore__c custom field on Lead.
CINC
Lead (engagement_score)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1CINC's numeric engagement_score has no native Dynamics equivalent. We create a custom integer field (new_leadscore__c) on the Lead entity. Historical engagement data from CINC's behavioral events also preserved in a custom Lead_Behavior_History__c table linked by LeadId. The custom table is created in Dataverse and the field added to the Lead form. Power Automate can later use this data for scoring recalculation.
CINC
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1CINC Company maps to Dynamics 365 Account. Company name maps to Account.Name, domain/website maps to Account.Website, industry maps to Account.Industry via value-mapping, and employee count maps to NumberOfEmployees. Parent-company hierarchy maps to Account.ParentAccountId. Physical address fields map to Address1_Line1, City, State, PostalCode, and Country. If the source includes a custom industry code, a new_industrycode__c field is created in Dynamics.
CINC
Contact (agent/representative)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Agent and representative records in CINC that are people associated with a Company map to Dynamics 365 Contact. The Contact's AccountId lookup is set by resolving the CINC company relationship to the target Dynamics Account. Primary agent designation preserved as a custom field.
CINC
Deal (commission)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1CINC Deal records—representing transaction commissions or listing deals—map to Dynamics 365 Opportunity. Deal name maps to Opportunity.Name, amount maps to Amount, close date maps to CloseDate, and stage maps to StageName via value-mapping against the configured sales process. Probability values are set from Dynamics default stage probabilities. Owner resolution follows email-to-User matching, similar to Lead migration.
CINC
Deal Stage
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity StageName
1:1CINC deal stages (e.g., 'Active', 'Under Contract', 'Closed Won', 'Lost') map value-by-value to Dynamics Opportunity StageName pick-list. Each CINC pipeline maps to a Dynamics Sales Process. Probability values re-applied from Dynamics side since CINC stage probability is not a standard field.
CINC
Activity (call, email, text, meeting)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Activity (Task, Email)
1:1CINC engagement events (calls, emails, texts, meetings) migrate as Dynamics 365 Activities. Calls and tasks map to the Task entity with Type='Phone Call'. Emails map to Email entity. Meetings map to the Appointment (Event) entity. Original timestamps, subject, and owner preserved on each activity.
CINC
Property / Listing Association
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Junction Table
1:1CINC links Leads to property listings via an N:M association. Dynamics 365 Sales has no native listings object. We create a custom LeadPropertyListing__c junction table (or custom lookup field) to preserve these associations. The Dynamics admin can add the field to the Lead form for reference.
CINC
Owner / User
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SystemUser (OwnerId)
1:1CINC owner_id references a CINC User record. We resolve each owner by email against Dynamics 365 SystemUser table. Matched owners become OwnerId on the target record. Unresolved owners flagged before migration—team either creates a Dynamics user or assigns records to a fallback owner.
CINC
Custom Fields (any)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Fields (new_*)
1:1Any CINC custom properties beyond standard fields require a new_* custom field created in Dynamics 365 before migration. Field type mapping: text strings map to Text, numbers to Integer or Decimal, dates to Datetime, pick-lists to Option Sets. We deliver a custom field creation manifest as part of the pre-migration schema plan.
CINC
Workflow / Automation Definition
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power Automate / Workflow
1:1CINC automated sequences, AI lead routing rules, and behavioral triggers have no Dynamics 365 equivalent in the migration payload. We export CINC workflow definitions as structured JSON for your Dynamics admin to reference when rebuilding equivalent logic in Power Automate or Dynamics Sales Insights.
CINC
Attachment / File
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SharePoint / Note Attachment
1:1CINC file attachments associated with Leads or Deals migrate to Dynamics 365 native note attachments (Annotation entity). Large files re-upload to the connected SharePoint document library if the Dynamics environment has SharePoint integration enabled. File size limit is 128MB per note attachment in Dynamics.

Migration approach
CINC API data extraction and profiling
FlitStack connects to CINC via API using application-user credentials. We extract Leads, Companies, Contacts, Deals, Activity records, and property associations in a structured pull. During extraction, we profile data quality—flagging records with missing emails, duplicate company names, and unresolved owner IDs. A data quality report is delivered before field mapping begins, so your team can decide how to handle dirty records (clean before migration or flag in Dynamics post-load).
Dynamics 365 Sales schema pre-creation and license audit
Before any data lands in Dynamics, FlitStack audits your current Dynamics license tier (Professional vs Enterprise) against the CINC custom field count. We deliver a custom field creation manifest: every new_* field required, its type, and which Dynamics entity it belongs to. For property-lead junction table requirements, we provide the Dataverse table definition. Your Dynamics admin creates the schema in the target environment, and FlitStack validates field existence before the migration run begins.
Owner resolution and fallback owner mapping
CINC owner IDs are resolved against the Dynamics 365 SystemUser table by email address. We run a pre-flight match on all unique owner emails in the CINC dataset. Matched owners map directly to OwnerId. Unmatched owners are listed in a resolution report with three options: create a corresponding Dynamics user before migration, reassign to a designated fallback owner, or leave as-is with OwnerId set to the migration service account for post-migration manual assignment. No record lands in Dynamics without a resolved OwnerId or an explicit admin-approved fallback.
Sample migration with field-level diff and validation
A representative slice of 200–500 records (spanning Leads, Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Activities) migrates first into a Dynamics sandbox or a designated test partition. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source CINC values against destination Dynamics values for every mapped field. You review leadscore mapping, stage value mapping, property associations, and activity owner attribution. Approval of the diff report is required before the full migration run commits. This step typically takes 24–48 hours.
Full migration run with delta-pickup window
After sample approval, the full CINC dataset migrates to Dynamics 365 Sales using the validated field mappings. A delta-pickup window opens at migration start and remains open for 24–48 hours after the full run completes. Any CINC records created or modified during the cutover window are captured in a second incremental write. FlitStack writes to Dynamics via Bulk API and Dataverse API for efficiency. All operations are logged in an audit trail. One-click rollback reverts all migrated records if post-run reconciliation identifies data integrity issues.
