Overview
Moving from Claritysoft to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a structural migration requiring schema redesign, not a direct field copy. Both platforms store Accounts and Contacts as separate objects with a linking relationship, so the core data model maps cleanly, but pipeline stage configuration, activity timeline structure, and custom field representation differ. We verify API availability upfront because Claritysoft's REST API is gated behind the Accelerator tier; Professional-plan customers cannot generate API keys and require a manual export approach. We resolve owner-permission scope gaps by generating export keys from admin-level accounts and cross-checking record counts before ingestion. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) migrates as Task and Event records in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . Custom Modules store in Dataverse custom tables. Workflows and automations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Power Automate. Migrations with standard objects and under 10,000 total records complete in two to four weeks; migrations with custom modules, large engagement histories, or complex ownership structures extend to three to eight weeks.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Claritysoft 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.
Claritysoft
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Claritysoft Contacts map 1:1 to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Contact. The standard fields (FullName, Email, BusinessPhone, Address) migrate directly. We resolve the parent Account reference at migration time by matching AccountName to a pre-created Account record. Any Claritysoft contact without a matching Account is flagged in the reconciliation report for the customer admin to resolve before final import.
Claritysoft
Account
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Claritysoft Accounts (called Companies in some CRM exports) map directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Account. AccountName becomes the Account Name field; Website, Industry, and Address fields map by name. Account is created before any Contact import so the AccountId Lookup relationship is satisfied at Contact insert time. We use AccountName as the dedupe key during ingestion.
Claritysoft
Lead
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1Claritysoft Leads with lifecycle stages (New, Contacted, Qualified) map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Lead. The Claritysoft lifecycle stage property maps to a custom Lead field lcs_original_lifecycle__c for audit, and the Lead Status maps to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Lead Status with the closest equivalent value. We preserve the original lifecycle stage value for reporting continuity.
Claritysoft
Opportunity
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Claritysoft Opportunities map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity with Amount, StageName, CloseDate, and Probability preserved. The parent AccountId is resolved by matching AccountName. Pipeline Stage names from Claritysoft map to configured Opportunity Stage values in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . We pre-create the stage values in the destination Sales Process during schema setup so the import does not fail on invalid picklist values.
Claritysoft
Pipeline Stage
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity Stage and Sales Process
lossyClaritysoft pipeline stages map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity Stage values within a configured Sales Process. We create the Sales Process during schema setup, add the Claritysoft stage names as Stage values with corresponding probability percentages, and whitelist the stages per Record Type if the customer uses multiple sales processes. Stage order is preserved from the source pipeline.
Claritysoft
Activity: Call, Meeting, Task
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task and Event
1:1Claritysoft Activities (Tasks, Calls, Meetings) with timestamps and linked records migrate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as Task (for Tasks and Calls) and Event (for Meetings). Call duration and disposition migrate as custom Task fields. Meeting start and end times migrate to Event StartTime and EndTime. The linked record reference (Contact, Account, Opportunity) resolves to the WhoId or WhatId on the target Dynamics record using the pre-resolved ID mapping from the Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities phases.
Claritysoft
Document and Attachment
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SharePoint Location or Note
1:1Claritysoft documents attached to multiple record types are extracted as files and re-associated in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales via SharePoint document libraries (the native integration) or as Note records with file attachments. We flag this as mapping work because Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales requires SharePoint to be configured for document management before the integration is active, and the customer's admin sets up the SharePoint location during migration scoping.
Claritysoft
Custom Field
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field on entity
1:1Claritysoft Custom Fields map to custom fields on the corresponding Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales entity in Dataverse. Field type mapping follows: text fields to Text, numeric fields to Number or Decimal, date fields to DateTime, and dropdown fields to Option Sets. We pre-create the custom field schema in the destination environment before any record import so that values are accepted on insert.
Claritysoft
Custom Module
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Dataverse Custom Table
1:1Claritysoft Custom Modules (Accelerator and Enterprise tier) map to Dataverse custom tables in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . We create the custom table with the equivalent columns during schema setup, map the module data row-by-row, and configure any lookup relationships to standard entities (Account, Contact, Opportunity) using the pre-resolved ID mapping. Custom Modules built with Advanced Custom Fields or Calculated Custom Fields require manual schema review because calculated logic does not migrate.
Claritysoft
Project
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity or Project for the Web
1:1Claritysoft Project Management (Accelerator and above) does not have a native Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. We migrate project structure (name, milestones, tasks, assignees) to a Dataverse custom table, or the customer integrates Project for the Web separately post-migration. Project-specific metadata and progress tracking flags are noted in the inventory for the admin to evaluate.
Claritysoft
Helpdesk Ticket
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Case entity or Dataverse custom table
1:1Claritysoft Helpdesk Management tickets (Accelerator and above) with status, priority, assignees, and conversation threads migrate to a Dataverse custom table or to a Case entity if the destination org includes Dynamics 365 Customer Service. Conversation threads migrate as Notes or as a custom activity log. Custom ticket fields and priority levels map to equivalent custom fields or Option Set values in the destination.
Claritysoft
User and Owner
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User
1:1Claritysoft Users who own records (Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, Activities) map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales User records by email match. We generate an owner reconciliation report listing every distinct Claritysoft owner and the count of records they own. Owners without a matching Dynamics 365 User go to a provisioning queue for the customer admin before the Opportunity and Activity migration phases run, because OwnerId is a required reference on Opportunity.

1 million record limit on Enterprise tier is migration-critical for large datasets
API key inherits owner's permission scope — limited-user keys miss records
Workflow Date Triggers require Enterprise tier and do not migrate cleanly
Importing bad data is a known failure mode Claritysoft warns against
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales gotchas
Professional tier 15-table custom table limit blocks migrations
October 2024 pricing increase applies at renewal for all customers
Custom fields must be created in the UI before API writes
Power Platform request limits apply to bulk migrations
Activity records orphaned to inactive owners fail silently
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and API-availability verification
We audit the Claritysoft account across tier (Professional/Accelerator/Enterprise), record counts per object, active Custom Modules, pipeline stage definitions, and owner distribution. The first action is confirming API availability: if the account is on Professional tier with no API key option, we switch to a manual export path. If Accelerator or Enterprise, we generate an admin-level API key and verify record count coverage across all modules. The discovery output is a written migration scope, an API availability determination, and a data rationalization recommendation covering stale records, unused custom fields, and duplicate risk.
Data profiling and quality remediation
We run a data profiling pass across Contacts, Accounts, Leads, Opportunities, and Activities. We flag missing required fields, duplicates (identified by email on Contact and AccountName on Account), invalid date formats, and orphaned records with no parent reference. We deliver a data quality report to the customer with row-level lists of flagged records. The customer remediates source data before migration begins. We do not migrate into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales with active data quality issues that would trigger validation rule failures.
Destination schema design and setup
We design the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales schema in the target environment. This includes creating any custom fields on Contact, Account, Lead, Opportunity, and Task entities; provisioning Dataverse custom tables for Claritysoft Custom Modules; configuring Opportunity Stages and Sales Processes to match the Claritysoft pipeline; and setting up SharePoint document management if the customer requests document migration. Schema is deployed to a Sandbox or UAT environment first for validation. We coordinate with the customer's Dynamics 365 admin to assign the migration user the necessary Dataverse privileges.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Sandbox using production-equivalent data volume. The customer's admin reviews record counts per entity, spot-checks 25-50 records for field-level accuracy against the Claritysoft source, and validates that custom fields contain expected values. Any mapping corrections are made before production migration begins. Owner reconciliation also completes here: every Claritysoft owner is matched to a Dynamics 365 User by email, and missing Users are provisioned by the admin.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order. Accounts are migrated first (as the parent of Contacts and Opportunities). Contacts are migrated second with AccountId resolved from the Account phase. Leads, Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and StageName resolved), and Products (if applicable) follow. Activity history (Tasks, Events) migrates last with WhoId and WhatId resolved from the Contact and Opportunity phases. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales REST API and Dataverse API with rate-limit handling and exponential backoff.
Cutover, validation, and workflow inventory handoff
We freeze Claritysoft writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as the system of record. We deliver the workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team, with each Claritysoft workflow documented with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Power Automate equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Claritysoft automations as Power Automate flows inside the migration scope.
