Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Dialytica to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a migration from a narrow outbound calling platform to a full CRM with pipeline management, account hierarchies, and native Microsoft 365 integration. Dialytica has no publicly documented API, which means we rely on manual CSV exports and the platform's built-in export tools to extract Contacts, Call Campaigns, SMS Campaigns, Call Records, QA Reviews, and SMS Activities. Dialytica separates Call and SMS campaigns into distinct objects, so we stitch those together during migration scoping to give each contact a complete cross-channel history. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales does not have native campaign-call or QA-review objects, so call logs migrate as Task records with TaskSubtype=Call and custom fields for disposition and AI-generated scores, and QA Reviews migrate as Notes or custom entity records. AI-generated campaign optimization rules in Dialytica are opaque and not exportable; we capture outcome data and contact assignments but cannot replicate the AI logic in Dynamics.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform logo

Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform

What's pushing teams away

  • Teams scaling beyond basic outbound dialing find the platform lacks advanced CRM features like pipeline management, account hierarchies, or robust contact scoring.
  • The narrow focus on call campaigns and QA means other marketing channels like email, web personalization, and multi-touch nurturing require separate platforms.
  • Limited integration ecosystem means Dialytica connections to popular CRMs, BI tools, or analytics platforms are fewer than what HubSpot or Marketo offer.
  • Teams with complex compliance needs for call recording, data residency, or call logging report that Dialytica's controls may not meet enterprise audit requirements.

Choosing

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales  logo

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

What's pulling them in

  • Deep Microsoft 365, Teams, and Outlook integration makes Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales a natural fit for Microsoft-first organizations already invested in that ecosystem
  • Sales Enterprise and Premium tiers offer unlimited custom tables and advanced AI-driven forecasting and predictive analytics not available in lower tiers
  • Professional tier pricing at $65 per user per month offers a lower entry cost than Salesforce for SMB teams with straightforward CRM needs
  • Flexible customization options allow businesses to build bespoke apps, tailor forms and views, and integrate with other Dynamics 365 modules
  • Microsoft Copilot AI tools are embedded directly into the sales workflow on Enterprise and Premium, automating routine tasks and providing deal intelligence

Object mapping

How Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform 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.

Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform

Contact

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact (or Lead + Contact)

1:1
Fully supported

Dialytica Contacts map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Contacts when the record represents an identified person with phone and name data. If the Dialytica contact has not been qualified into a sales relationship (no deal association), we map to Lead for Dynamics customers using the Lead-to-Contact convert model. We preserve Dialytica custom fields (phone numbers, campaign assignment dates, disposition codes) as custom fields on the Dynamics Contact or Lead. Phone numbers migrate to the Telephone1, Telephone2, or Mobile fields per type, and campaign assignment history migrates as Note records or custom activity fields.

Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform

Call Campaign

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Campaign

1:1
Fully supported

Dialytica Call Campaign objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Campaign. We preserve campaign name, status (active/paused/completed), scheduled start and end dates, targeting criteria (as text in the Campaign Description or a custom field), and the number of contacts assigned. Call scripts and dial plan text from Dialytica migrate as Note records attached to the Dynamics Campaign. Note that Dynamics Campaigns track marketing activities but do not execute outbound dialing; the customer rebuilds dial sequences in a compatible dialer or Power Automate flow post-migration.

Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform

SMS Campaign

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Campaign

1:1
Fully supported

Dialytica SMS Campaigns map to a separate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Campaign to preserve the distinction between call and SMS channels. We link both campaigns to the same Dialytica contact set so that contacts touched by both channels are associated with both Dynamics Campaigns. SMS template body text and merge field structures migrate as Note records attached to the SMS Campaign; variable placeholders are preserved as-is for the customer's admin to re-apply in the SMS routing tool.

Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform

Call Record

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task (TaskSubtype = Call)

1:1
Fully supported

Dialytica Call Records migrate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Task with TaskSubtype set to Call. Duration (CallDurationInSeconds), disposition code, agent assignment (mapped to Dynamics User), and the Dialytica call timestamp migrate to custom Task fields. AI-evaluated call metadata (sentiment scores, talk-to-listen ratios generated by Dialytica's LLMs) cannot be stored in standard Dynamics fields; we create custom fields on the Task entity to preserve these values. Call recording URLs do not migrate as playable files; we store the URL as a text field for manual reference if the recordings are accessible.

Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform

QA Review

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Note or Custom Entity

1:many
Fully supported

Dialytica QA Reviews are supervisor evaluations tied to specific Call Records. We map review scorecards and free-text supervisor notes to Dynamics Note records attached to the corresponding Task (the Call Record). For customers with high QA review volume, we recommend a custom QA_Review entity in Dynamics with a lookup to Task, structured score fields (numeric), and a long-text notes field, rather than relying on generic Notes. The custom entity approach requires schema deployment in the Dynamics environment before migration and is scoped as a configuration task during discovery.

Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform

SMS Activity

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Activity (Email or Task)

1:1
Fully supported

Dialytica SMS Activity logs (individual message events with delivery status, timestamp, phone number, and campaign reference) migrate to Dynamics Activity records. Since Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales does not have a native SMS activity type in standard objects, we map SMS to Task with TaskSubtype=Task and a custom field sms_direction__c (inbound/outbound) plus sms_status__c (delivered/failed/pending). Campaign linkage is preserved via a custom campaign lookup on the Task record. SMS template merge field usage migrates as a Note attached to the campaign for reference.

Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform

User / Agent

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

User

1:1
Fully supported

Dialytica Agent and user accounts map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales User records. We match by email address. Agent roles and active/inactive status migrate as Dynamics Security Roles and IsActive flag. Any Dialytica Agent without a matching email in the destination Dynamics org is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision the corresponding User account before record import proceeds, since OwnerId references on Call Records and QA Reviews require a valid Dynamics User.

Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform

SMS Template

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Dynamics Email Template or Note

lossy
Fully supported

Dialytica SMS Templates export with their body text and merge field placeholders. These map to Dynamics Email Template records (Dynamics supports templates for email; for SMS, we store the template body and merge syntax in a Note attached to the corresponding SMS Campaign for the customer's admin to copy into their SMS routing tool). We preserve the variable placeholder structure so that the replacement workflow can be reconstructed at the destination.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Dialytica has no publicly documented API

    Dialytica does not publish API endpoints, authentication methods, or developer documentation. During scoping, we cannot rely on automated export via REST or Bulk API and must evaluate each account for manual CSV export capability and any accessible data endpoints in the account's help portal. If manual export is not available or produces incomplete data, we fall back to coordinated CSV extraction with the customer's Dialytica account team. This constraint adds discovery time to the migration timeline and may affect the completeness of historical data that can be transferred.

  • AI-generated campaign optimization rules do not export

    Dialytica uses internally developed LLMs to optimize campaign targeting, call routing, and agent assistance. These AI-driven rules are not stored as structured, exportable logic. We capture the outcome data (which contacts were assigned to which campaigns, call disposition codes, and AI-generated scores) but cannot replicate the AI optimization in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . The customer should treat AI campaign optimization as a process to rebuild in Dynamics using Dynamics 365 Copilot features, Power Automate, or a third-party dialer integration.

  • QA Reviews require custom entity setup in Dynamics

    Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales does not have a native QA Review or call evaluation object. Migrating Dialytica QA Reviews as generic Notes loses the structured scorecard data. We recommend a pre-migration custom entity in Dynamics Dataverse to hold structured QA criteria, scores, and supervisor comments with a Task lookup. This requires schema design and deployment before data migration begins, adding a configuration phase that is scoped separately from the record migration.

  • Call recording files do not migrate as playable content

    Dialytica call recordings are stored as audio files on Dialytica's infrastructure. We preserve the recording URL as a text field on the migrated Task record, but the audio files themselves do not transfer to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales , which does not have a native call recording storage feature. Customers who need call recording access post-migration should maintain their Dialytica subscription for recording storage, implement a third-party recording solution integrated with Dynamics, or migrate recordings to Azure Blob Storage with a link stored in Dynamics.

  • Cross-channel campaign stitching required for complete contact history

    Dialytica maintains Call Campaigns and SMS Campaigns as entirely separate objects with no shared campaign parent. A contact who receives both an outbound call and an SMS as part of the same customer journey has two disconnected campaign assignments in Dialytica. We stitch these at migration time by grouping contacts by identifier and attaching both call and SMS activity records to a unified contact record in Dynamics, but the campaign linkage at the Dialytica level does not carry over as a unified customer journey structure.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Dialytica - Marketing Automation Platform to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales data migration

  1. Discovery and export feasibility assessment

    We audit the Dialytica account for available export tools, data volume (contact count, call record count, SMS activity count, QA review count, active user count), and campaign configurations (call and SMS separately). We evaluate the built-in export capabilities and determine whether manual CSV extraction is required due to the absent API. We also identify any AI-generated rule outputs and map them to outcome data that can be preserved. The discovery output is a written scope confirming what migrates, what requires custom entity setup in Dynamics, and what cannot be migrated.

  2. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales schema design and custom entity provisioning

    We design the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales destination schema in a Sandbox or development environment. This includes provisioning custom fields on Contact and Lead for Dialytica phone numbers and campaign assignment data, a custom QA_Review entity (if applicable) with structured score fields and a Task lookup, custom fields on Task for call disposition, duration, recording URL, and AI-generated scores, and custom fields on SMS-related Tasks for direction and delivery status. We also configure Campaign records with the Call and SMS campaign names and descriptions migrated from Dialytica.

  3. CSV extraction coordination and data cleansing

    We coordinate with the customer and, where possible, Dialytica account representatives to produce clean CSV exports for Contacts, Call Records, SMS Activities, QA Reviews, Users/Agents, Call Campaigns, SMS Campaigns, and SMS Templates. We profile the data for duplicates (especially contact records with multiple campaign assignments), missing required fields, and date format inconsistencies. Data cleansing steps include deduping contacts by email and phone, standardizing disposition codes, and resolving Dialytica agent IDs to the email addresses needed for Dynamics User matching.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Dynamics 365 Sandbox environment using the extracted CSV data. The customer's Dynamics admin reviews record counts, spot-checks 20-30 contacts against the Dialytica source for field accuracy, verifies that Call Records link to the correct Contact, and validates that QA Review data is readable in the custom entity. Any mapping corrections are documented and applied to the migration scripts before production migration begins.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users/Agents (mapped by email, held in queue if missing), Campaigns (Call and SMS as separate Dynamics Campaign records), Contacts (with campaign associations via Notes or custom lookup), Call Records (as Tasks with TaskSubtype=Call, OwnerId resolved to Dynamics User), SMS Activities (as Tasks with SMS custom fields, OwnerId resolved), QA Reviews (as custom QA_Review entity records linked to Tasks or as Notes), and SMS Templates (as Notes or Email Templates on the corresponding SMS Campaign). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report.

  6. Cutover, validation, and campaign logic handoff

    We freeze Dialytica 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 a written inventory of Dialytica AI campaign optimization rules (as outcome data only, with documented logic intent) and QA Review scorecard structures for the customer's admin to rebuild in Dynamics using Power Automate or a QA integration. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild outbound dial sequences, AI routing logic, or SMS templates as Dynamics automations inside the migration scope; those are separate implementation work.
