Overview
Migrating from Delivra to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a platform-type transition from an email and SMS marketing automation tool to a full sales CRM built on Dataverse. Delivra organizes data around Contacts and Custom Tables with relational structures; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales uses Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities with a separate Power Automate layer for workflow automation. The primary technical challenge is Delivra's non-public API, which requires coordination with Delivra Support to obtain schema specifications before migration design begins. Custom tables with 1:many and many:many relationships must be flattened and restructured into Dataverse custom entities, a phase that adds mapping scope not required in standard contact-only migrations. We do not migrate Delivra workflows, SMS automation logic, or lead scoring models as code; we deliver a written inventory of every automation requiring rebuild in Power Automate, document the lead scoring model logic, and flag any relational data that cannot be preserved in a flat CRM schema.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Delivra 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.
Delivra
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead and Contact (split by lifecycle stage)
1:manyDelivra Contacts map to Salesforce Lead or Dynamics 365 Lead based on lifecycle stage. Contacts with a lifecycle stage indicating a qualified buyer (customer, evangelist) map to Dynamics 365 Contact attached to an Account. Contacts with early-stage lifecycle values map to Lead. We preserve the original Delivra lifecycle stage in a custom field delivra_lifecycle_stage__c on both Lead and Contact for audit and reporting continuity.
Delivra
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Delivra Company records map directly to Dynamics 365 Account. The Delivra company domain becomes the Account Website field and serves as the dedupe key during import. Account must be created before Contact import so the AccountId lookup relationship is satisfied at Contact insert time.
Delivra
Custom Table (1:1)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Dataverse Custom Entity
1:1Delivra Custom Tables with a 1:1 relationship to a Contact (e.g., a Subscription record linked one-to-one) map to a Dataverse custom entity with a lookup field to Contact. We create the destination custom entity in the customer's Dataverse environment, define the lookup field, and import the data using the Dynamics 365 Bulk API with parent-record resolution.
Delivra
Custom Table (1:many)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Dataverse Custom Entity + Lookup
1:manyDelivra Custom Tables with a 1:many relationship (one Contact, many Subscription records) map to a Dataverse custom entity where each row carries a Contact lookup. We denormalize the foreign key reference, create one Dataverse record per Delivra row, and resolve the Contact lookup by email or contact ID at migration time. The parent Contact must be migrated before the child custom entity rows.
Delivra
Custom Table (many:many)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Dataverse Custom Entity + Intersection Entity
lossyDelivra Custom Tables with many:many relationships require an intersection entity in Dataverse to replicate the junction. We extract the junction table from Delivra, create two Dataverse custom entities plus a many-to-many relationship via a link entity, and migrate junction rows after both primary entities exist. This adds a mapping phase and a validation step that is not required for flat data models.
Delivra
Campaign
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Campaign
1:1Delivra Campaign records map to Dynamics 365 Campaign with CampaignName, status, targeting criteria, and channel information preserved. Delivra's SMS and multi-channel campaign targeting translates to Campaign Channel (Email or Other). Campaign member responses and engagement history migrate to CampaignResponse or to custom engagement fields on the related Contact.
Delivra
Email Template
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Email Template (Dynamics 365)
1:1Delivra email templates built in the drag-and-drop editor export as HTML and, where possible, as JSON structure. We convert HTML templates to Dynamics 365 Email Template format (text and HTML). Templates with dynamic content blocks and conditional personalization require manual rebuild in Dynamics 365's template editor, which we document with before-and-after screenshots and field reference notes.
Delivra
Lead Scoring
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Premium (AI) or Power Automate
1:1Delivra's standard and advanced lead scoring models use point values assigned to contact attributes and behaviors. We export the full scoring model including rule definitions, point values, and thresholds. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Premium includes AI-based lead scoring; for Standard tier, we document the model as a Power Automate flow specification and provide a field mapping to Dynamics 365 Contact that the admin uses to configure scoring in Power Automate.
Delivra
Segment / List
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Static Marketing List or Dataverse Query
1:1Delivra segment definitions with filter conditions based on contact properties map to Dynamics 365 Marketing List (static or dynamic) or to a Dataverse View. Dynamic segments require a Power Automate flow or manual filter rebuild because Dynamics 365 Marketing Lists use FetchXML rather than Delivra's condition-builder syntax. We deliver a segment inventory with field mappings and condition equivalents.
Delivra
Engagement Data (clicks, opens, sends)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Contact Fields or Dataverse Activity
1:1Delivra click tracking, open tracking, and engagement history associate with contact records. We migrate aggregate engagement metrics as custom fields on the Contact record (e.g., last_email_opened_date, total_email_opens, total_email_clicks). Detailed engagement logs can be stored in a Dataverse custom entity if the customer needs the full timeline preserved, but the standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales timeline does not accept third-party engagement data natively.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and API schema acquisition
We audit the source Delivra account across plan tier, contact volume, custom table count and relationship types, active workflows, campaign history, segment definitions, and engagement data volume. Simultaneously, we submit the API schema request to Delivra Support. The discovery output is a written migration scope that includes the custom table schema, relationship diagram, and a confirmed data extraction method (API or SFTP) once Delivra Support responds. Timeline impact: any delay in Delivra Support response extends this phase.
Destination schema design in Dataverse
We design the destination schema in the customer's Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales environment. This includes provisioning custom entities in Dataverse for each Delivra custom table, defining lookup relationships (1:1, 1:N, N:N via intersection entities), creating custom fields on Contact and Account for engagement data and lifecycle stage, and configuring Marketing Lists or Dataverse Views for segment equivalents. We design the Lead versus Contact split rule based on the customer's Delivra lifecycle stage matrix. Schema is deployed into a Sandbox or Dev environment first for validation before production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Dynamics 365 Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts across all objects, spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Delivra source, and validates that custom table relationships resolved correctly. Any mapping corrections, missing fields, or junction entity errors are fixed in this phase. The customer signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins.
Contact and Account production migration
We run production migration in dependency order: Accounts (from Delivra Companies) first, then Contacts (with the lifecycle-stage split applied to determine Lead or Contact routing), then custom entity rows for each Delivra Custom Table in dependency order (1:1 tables before 1:many, many:many last). We use the Dynamics 365 Bulk API with batch chunking and parent-record lookup resolution. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Engagement, campaign, and template migration
We migrate Delivra engagement metrics as custom Contact fields and aggregate history into a Dataverse engagement entity if the customer requires full timeline preservation. Campaign records migrate to Dynamics 365 Campaign. Email templates convert to Dynamics 365 Email Template format, with complex drag-and-drop templates documented for manual rebuild. The customer reviews rendered templates in Dynamics 365 before sign-off.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Delivra 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 Lead Scoring inventory document with Power Automate specifications to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. We do not rebuild Delivra Workflows as Power Automate flows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
