Overview

What this migration involves

Digital Signup stores registrant records, program enrollments, waitlist positions, payment history, and facility scheduling data. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales uses the Common Data Model (Dataverse) with standard Account, Contact, Lead, and Opportunity entities plus extensible custom tables. We migrate what Digital Signup exports via its API — registrant profiles, enrollment records, program registrations, and associated timestamps — into Dynamics 365 Sales standard objects and custom enrollment tables. Program-specific data (class names, enrollment dates, waitlist status, facility assignments) becomes custom fields on Contact and Account records or a dedicated Registration custom table. Digital Signup has no native workflow or automation engine, so there is nothing equivalent to migrate — your Dynamics 365 Sales workflows build from scratch. We use scoped read access to Digital Signup's API, sequence the migration to respect foreign-key dependencies, and run a field-level diff against a sample slice before committing the full load. Delta pickup captures any registrations created or updated during cutover.

What's pushing teams away

  • Pricing and API documentation are not published — buyers must call sales to get either, which slows competitive evaluation against modern SaaS registration tools.
  • UX and mobile experience are evaluated as functional rather than modern; Research.com and SoftwareSuggest reviews note the interface feels dated relative to newer category entrants.
  • Narrow vertical focus on US public-sector and education means SMB-style configurability and self-serve onboarding common in mass-market SaaS are not present.
  • Limited third-party integration footprint visible in marketing — most extensions appear to be Digital Signup's own modules rather than an open ecosystem.
  • Small public review pool on Capterra/G2 makes social proof and feature-gap analysis harder for prospective buyers.

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 Digital Signup objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a Digital Signup 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.

Digital Signup

Registrant

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup registrants map directly to Dynamics 365 Sales Contact records. The primary registrant name, email, phone, and address fields translate 1:1. Registrants who represent organizations (rather than individuals) may route to Account instead — your team decides during schema planning which registrants are individuals vs. organizational contacts.

Digital Signup

Registrant.organization_name

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

When a Digital Signup registrant includes an organization name, FlitStack AI creates a corresponding Account record in Dynamics 365 Sales and links the Contact via the AccountId lookup. This preserves the organization context that Digital Signup stores as a registrant property.

Digital Signup

Household / Family Account

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account (Household type)

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup supports household groupings for family-based registrations (common in childcare and community education). Dynamics 365 Sales has Account-level household modeling via the Accounts table; we map household members as Contacts under a single Account, with the household name as Account.Name.

Digital Signup

Enrollment / Registration

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Registration Table

1:1
Fully supported

Enrollment records are the core data object in Digital Signup but have no direct equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales. We create a Registration custom table in Dynamics 365 Sales (Dataverse) linked to Contact and Account. Fields include program name, enrollment date, status, waitlist position, and payment reference.

Digital Signup

Program / Class

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Program Field (Contact/Account) or Option Set

1:1
Fully supported

Program and class names from Digital Signup become custom fields on the Registration table or as a pick-list (Option Set) on Contact. If programs recur across years, we recommend an Option Set so Dynamics 365 Sales Sales Insights can analyze enrollment by program category. Multi-session programs may require separate Enrollment records per session.

Digital Signup

Facility / Resource

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Facility Field

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup facility and room assignments map to a custom text or Option Set field on the Registration table. Dynamics 365 Sales has no native resource management; facility names are stored as data, not as managed resources. If facility utilization reporting is critical, we recommend a separate Facility custom table linked to Registration.

Digital Signup

Payment Transaction

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Payment Field on Registration

1:1
Fully supported

Payment status (paid, refunded, pending), payment method, and transaction ID from Digital Signup migrate as custom fields on the Registration table. Full payment history and invoice data requires a custom Payment History custom table if granular reporting is needed in Dynamics 365 Sales.

Digital Signup

Waitlist Position

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Field on Registration

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup waitlist records carry a numeric position and timestamp. We map these as integer and datetime fields on the Registration custom table. A blank or null waitlist position indicates the registrant is confirmed; a value indicates their queue position.

Digital Signup

Emergency Contact

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Fields on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup collects emergency contact name and phone for childcare and community programs. These data points are migrated as custom text fields (Emergency_Contact_Name__c and Emergency_Contact_Phone__c) attached to the Contact record in Dynamics 365 Sales. They are stored outside the standard Contact schema, enabling staff to retrieve backup contact information for safety notifications or program communications without altering the native Contact entity.

Digital Signup

User / Staff Owner

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

SystemUser → Owner

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup staff assigned as program coordinators map to Dynamics 365 Sales SystemUser records by email address match. If a Digital Signup staff member has no corresponding Dynamics 365 Sales license, their records are assigned to a designated fallback owner before migration.

Digital Signup

Note / Attachment

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Note (Annotation)

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup notes attached to registrants or enrollments migrate as Dynamics 365 Sales Notes (Annotation entity). Original creation timestamps and note authors are preserved. File attachments are downloaded and re-uploaded to Dynamics 365 Sales SharePoint integration or Dataverse file storage.

Digital Signup

Custom Object / Custom Field

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Table / Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

Digital Signup custom fields added by your organization (e.g., dietary restrictions, membership tier, referral source) map to equivalent custom fields in Dynamics 365 Sales. Custom objects require a custom table in Dataverse. We surface all custom field definitions during the discovery phase before mapping.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Enrollment records require a custom table in Dynamics 365 Sales

    Digital Signup's enrollment data is the core of the system — each registration is a first-class record with program, date range, status, payment, and waitlist data. Dynamics 365 Sales has no native enrollment or registration entity. We create a Registration custom table in Dataverse linked to Contact and Account. This is not a workaround; it is the correct architecture. However, it means your Dynamics 365 Sales admins will need to add this table to site-map navigation, form design, and any views that reference enrollment data. We deliver a Dataverse table definition file (XML) as part of the migration package so your admin can import it directly into the solution.

  • Digital Signup registrant-to-organization linking is not 1:1 with Dynamics 365 Account-Contact

    Digital Signup stores organization as a property on a Registrant record — one registrant can be associated with one organization. Dynamics 365 Sales separates Accounts and Contacts, where one Account can have many Contacts. If Digital Signup data has registrants linked to different organizations (e.g., a parent registering multiple children in different organizations), the mapping requires your team to decide the primary Account assignment per contact. We surface duplicate Account candidates and ambiguous organization links in the pre-migration review so no data is silently mis-assigned.

  • Payment transaction history does not become Dynamics 365 Sales opportunities

    Digital Signup payment amounts (amount_paid) are enrollment-level fees, not sales opportunities. Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity records represent revenue-generating deals with pipeline stages — not program tuition. We map amount_paid to a custom Amount_Paid__c field on the Registration table, not to Opportunity. If your organization wants to track program revenue through Dynamics 365 Sales pipeline, your team needs to decide whether to create Opportunities per program or per enrollment, and that decision affects the migration mapping.

  • Waitlist position resets when migrated — no real-time waitlist sync

    Digital Signup manages waitlists actively — as spots open, registrants move up in position and receive notifications. Dynamics 365 Sales has no native waitlist management. We migrate the current waitlist position as a static integer field on the Registration record. If your programs use waitlists actively post-migration, your team will need to build a Power Automate flow or a custom app to manage waitlist queues in Dynamics 365 Sales — or accept that waitlist positions are reference data, not live queues.

  • Facility and resource scheduling has no equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales

    Digital Signup manages facility room bookings, resource availability, and scheduling conflicts as core functionality. Dynamics 365 Sales does not include resource scheduling — there is no Room, Resource, or Booking entity in the standard Sales app. We migrate facility names as text fields on Registration records. If facility utilization reporting is required, a separate Facility custom table must be built in Dataverse, and your admin needs to decide whether Dynamics 365 Field Service (a separate module) or a Power App is the right tool for ongoing scheduling.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Digital Signup to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales data migration

  1. Discover Digital Signup export schema and Dynamics 365 Sales target environment

    FlitStack AI authenticates to your Digital Signup instance via API using scoped read-only credentials. We export a full schema inventory: all registrant fields, enrollment fields, custom fields, program names, facility names, and household groupings. Simultaneously, we survey your Dynamics 365 Sales environment — existing tables, custom fields already in use, Option Set values, and security role assignments. This produces a unified schema delta document showing what exists in Digital Signup and what needs to be created in Dynamics 365 Sales before data lands.

  2. Design and provision Dynamics 365 Sales custom tables and fields

    Based on the schema delta, your Dynamics 365 Sales admin (or our team) creates the Registration custom table in Dataverse and any custom fields on Contact and Account. We deliver the table definition and field metadata so your admin can import it via a Dataverse solution or create it manually. Option Set values for enrollment status, payment status, payment method, and registration source are added to the appropriate fields. This step must complete before migration validation runs.

  3. Resolve registrants to Contacts and organizations to Accounts

    FlitStack AI processes Digital Signup registrants in dependency order: Accounts first (from organization_name), then Contacts linked to Accounts, then Enrollments linked to Contacts. Household groupings are resolved by finding all registrants sharing a household_id and grouping them under a single Account record. Staff owners are matched to Dynamics 365 Sales SystemUser records by email; unmatched owners are flagged for fallback assignment. Duplicate registrant detection runs against existing Dynamics 365 Sales Contacts using email address as the primary key.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 records

    A representative slice — spanning individual registrants, organizational contacts, enrolled and waitlisted registrations, and records with custom fields — migrates into Dynamics 365 Sales sandbox or production. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source Digital Signup values against the destination Dynamics 365 Sales field values. You review the diff to verify enrollment status mapping, waitlist position translation, payment amounts, and date field accuracy. No full migration commits until you sign off on the sample.

  5. Execute full migration with delta pickup window

    After sample sign-off, FlitStack AI runs the full migration: Accounts, Contacts, and the Registration custom table all load into Dynamics 365 Sales. A delta pickup window of 24–48 hours runs concurrently, capturing any new Digital Signup registrations or status changes that occur during the cutover window. All operations are logged in an audit table with source record ID, destination record ID, operation type, and timestamp. One-click rollback reverts all changes if reconciliation fails.
