Overview

What this migration involves

Evam and Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales are architecturally different platforms. Evam is a real-time, event-driven journey orchestration system built around behavioral touchpoints, predictive scoring, and multi-channel campaign sequences. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a relational CRM built on Microsoft Dataverse with Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities as the primary record types. The migration is not a straightforward record copy; it requires translating Evam's behavioral event stream into a structured relational model. We preserve Customers as Contacts attached to Accounts, campaign metadata as Dynamics 365 Campaigns, segments as Dynamics 365 Marketing segments or static security groups, and a scoped window of event history as Activity records. Evam's AI-based predictive scores have no documented export mechanism and are disclosed as non-migratable. Journey definitions encode step logic that Evam does not expose via its API, so we document journey topology during discovery and deliver a written map for the customer's admin to rebuild in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales or Power Automate.

What's pushing teams away

  • Journey complexity becomes unmanageable at scale — users report that the user journey can feel complex, and small campaign changes often require navigating deeply nested logic.
  • Difficult to extract clean historical data for reporting — as an event-driven system, the raw event stream lacks built-in summarization, making it hard to build reports post-migration without re-processing.
  • High cost of entry relative to simpler marketing automation tools — the platform's enterprise positioning means smaller teams pay for capabilities they do not use.
  • Lack of transparency in channel attribution — multi-touch attribution across Evam's channels is not fully transparent, leading some teams to supplement with separate analytics tooling.
  • Limited community resources and steep learning curve — compared to broader CRM platforms, Evam has a smaller ecosystem, making self-service troubleshooting harder.

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 Evam objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a Evam 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.

Evam

Customer

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact + Account

1:1
Fully supported

Evam Customer records map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Contact attached to an Account. Standard profile fields (name, email, phone, demographic attributes) migrate 1:1 to Contact fields. We create the parent Account using the Customer's domain or company name as the Account name. Any custom customer properties are flagged for field-level mapping against Dataverse field types before migration. The Contact's createdon and modifiedon timestamps preserve the original Evam record timestamps for audit.

Evam

Event

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task or Custom Activity Entity

1:1
Fully supported

Evam behavioral and transactional Events map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Activity records (Task with a custom EventType field for behavioral markers, or EmailMessage for transactional events). Event payload schemas are mapped field-by-field to custom Activity fields. We scope the event export to the last 90-180 days due to Evam API volume limits; older events are aggregated into a summary record attached to the Contact. Event timestamps migrate as ActivityDate on the corresponding Task so that the activity timeline preserves chronological ordering.

Evam

Journey

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Power Automate Cloud Flow (documentation only)

lossy
Fully supported

Evam Journey definitions encode step sequences, branch conditions, wait timers, and entry/exit rules. These are not exposed via a documented export endpoint. We capture journey topology during discovery via API snapshots and manual documentation: each Journey's name, triggering segment, step count, step types, channel actions, and branch logic are recorded in a written migration inventory. The customer's Dynamics 365 administrator uses this inventory to rebuild equivalent flows in Power Automate. We do not attempt to reverse-engineer journey logic from event data alone.

Evam

Campaign

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Campaign

1:1
Fully supported

Evam Campaign metadata (name, status, start and end dates, channel assignments, associated segments) migrates to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Campaign. Campaign performance metrics (open rates, click rates, delivery rates) are derived metrics computed by Evam's analytics engine; these do not migrate directly. We provide a campaign baseline summary from Evam's reporting export and recommend rebuilding metrics in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Marketing or Power BI post-migration.

Evam

Segment

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Dynamics 365 Marketing Segment or Static Group

lossy
Fully supported

Evam Segments are customer groupings with rule-based membership criteria. We export segment definitions as rule sets and translate them into Dynamics 365 Marketing segment membership rules where the customer holds a Dynamics 365 Marketing license. Without Dynamics 365 Marketing, segments migrate as static Dataverse security groups or custom lookup tables that the customer's admin populates from the segment membership export. The segment name and criteria are preserved in a custom field on the Contact for reference.

Evam

Channel

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Power Automate Connector Configuration (documentation only)

lossy
Fully supported

Evam Channel configurations (SMS sender IDs, push notification credentials, in-app notification setup) are environment-locked and cannot be transferred. We document the full channel configuration during discovery — provider names, API credentials, sender ID templates, and routing rules — and deliver a re-setup checklist for the customer's operations team to re-register credentials in Power Automate or the relevant Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales channel connector before cutover.

Evam

Custom Field (Customer, Event, Journey)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Dataverse Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

Extended properties on Evam Customers, Events, or Journeys defined beyond the standard schema migrate to Dataverse custom fields on the corresponding entity. We map each custom field field-by-field, noting Dataverse data type compatibility (string to Text, integer to Whole Number, decimal to Decimal, boolean to Two Options, date to Date and Time). Custom fields on Journey objects are recorded in the journey inventory for manual rebuild in Power Automate since Journey is not a migratable entity.

Evam

AI Models / Predictive Scores

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

N/A

1:1
Not supported

Evam AI-based propensity scores are computed per-customer within Evam's runtime environment and are not accessible via the documented API. These scores cannot be migrated. Customers relying on AI-driven routing in Evam Journeys should plan to re-run scoring in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales using Copilot for Sales insights or a third-party scoring model post-migration. We disclose the score gap in the discovery report and note the customer's acceptance of a scoring-free day-one state before migration begins.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Evam journey definitions lack a structured export endpoint

    Evam's journey logic encodes step sequences, branch conditions, wait timers, and entry/exit rules in a proprietary internal format not exposed via its documented API. We cannot export journeys as a machine-readable artifact. During discovery, we use API snapshots and manual screen documentation to capture the topology of every active Journey. We deliver this as a written inventory with step descriptions, trigger rules, and channel actions that the customer's Dynamics 365 administrator uses to rebuild equivalent flows in Power Automate. Any customer expecting automated journey reproduction in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales will be disappointed; there is no technical path to journey code migration from Evam.

  • AI predictive scores are non-exportable from Evam

    Evam's AI-based propensity scores are computed per-customer in Evam's runtime environment and have no documented export mechanism. We cannot migrate these scores. Customers using AI-driven routing in Evam Journeys must re-run scoring in the destination platform post-migration. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Copilot provides AI-assisted deal insights but not an equivalent propensity score per Contact. We disclose this gap in the scoping document and obtain explicit customer acknowledgment before proceeding.

  • Event data volume requires a scoped export window

    Evam processes billions of touchpoints daily. Attempting to export the full historical event stream in one pass will hit Evam API rate limits and produce a dataset too large to validate and load into Dataverse. We scope the event export to a defined window (typically the last 90-180 days) agreed upon during discovery, with older events aggregated into summary records attached to the Contact. Without this scoping, API pagination failures and throttling cause migration timeouts and incomplete data transfer.

  • Channel credentials are Evam-environment-locked

    SMS sender IDs, push notification credentials, and in-app notification configurations in Evam are bound to Evam's registered application environment and cannot be moved. We document the full channel configuration during discovery and provide a re-setup checklist for the customer's operations team to re-register credentials in Power Automate or a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales channel connector before cutover. Skipping this step means channel delivery stops on migration day with no fallback.

  • Dynamics 365 field validation rules can block Contact import

    Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales orgs commonly enforce validation rules (required field formats, conditional requireds, picklist whitelists) and field-level security that the migrating user must explicitly bypass during data load. We coordinate with the customer's Dynamics 365 admin to grant the migration user the relevant Dataverse security roles and either temporarily disable blocking validation rules during load or extend them with a migration-context check. Skipping this step results in record rejection on import, particularly for Contact records with custom fields that have no Evam equivalent.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and scoping

    We audit the source Evam environment across Customers, active Journeys, Campaigns, Segments, Channels, custom field definitions, and event volume. We extract a representative sample of event records to understand payload schemas and timestamp distribution. We document every active Journey's topology manually (step list, trigger rules, channel actions, branch conditions) and capture channel configuration details (provider, credentials, sender IDs). The discovery output is a written migration scope document that defines the event export window, lists every object to be migrated, notes the non-migratable items (journeys, AI scores, channel credentials), and requires customer sign-off before any data moves.

  2. Schema design in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

    We design the destination Dataverse schema. This includes provisioning custom fields on Contact, Account, and Activity entities to receive Evam custom properties; configuring Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Campaign with the appropriate campaign type and status values; designing static groups or Dynamics 365 Marketing segments to receive Evam segment memberships; and creating the Power Automate re-setup checklist from the channel configuration documentation. Schema design happens in a Dynamics 365 Sandbox environment before any production work begins.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into the Dynamics 365 Sandbox using a production-like data sample. The customer's operations lead reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Accounts in, Activities in), spot-checks 20-40 records against the Evam source, and validates that timestamps, custom fields, and segment memberships populated correctly. Any mapping corrections are applied before production migration. This step also validates that Dynamics 365 field validation rules and security roles permit the migration user to insert records without silent rejection.

  4. Account and Contact production migration

    We run production migration in dependency order: Accounts first (from Evam Customer company/domain data), then Contacts (with AccountId Lookup resolved). Evam custom fields on Customer map to the corresponding Dataverse custom fields on Contact. CreatedOn and ModifiedOn from Evam preserve on the Contact record. Any Contact without a resolvable parent Account is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to resolve.

  5. Activity and Campaign production migration

    We migrate scoped event history as Activity records (Task, EmailMessage) linked to Contact. Event export is batched and paginated against the Evam API with exponential backoff. Campaign metadata migrates to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Campaign. Segment memberships populate static groups or Dynamics 365 Marketing segment definitions. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and journey rebuild handoff

    We freeze Evam writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as the system of record. We deliver the Journey topology inventory, the channel re-setup checklist, and the AI score gap disclosure document to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Evam Journeys as Power Automate flows inside the migration scope; that is documented for the customer's admin or a Dynamics 365 partner to execute separately.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 20,000 Customers with a clean schema and a scoped event export window. Migrations with multiple active Journeys requiring manual documentation, large event volumes (hundreds of thousands of behavioral records), custom fields on multiple objects, or segment-heavy campaign logic requiring Dynamics 365 Marketing segment rebuilds move to seven to eleven weeks because of Evam API scoping, journey topology documentation, and Dataverse schema validation work.
