Overview
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.
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 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact + Account
1:1Evam 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task or Custom Activity Entity
1:1Evam 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power Automate Cloud Flow (documentation only)
lossyEvam 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Campaign
1:1Evam 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Dynamics 365 Marketing Segment or Static Group
lossyEvam 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power Automate Connector Configuration (documentation only)
lossyEvam 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)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Dataverse Custom Field
1:1Extended 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
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
N/A
1:1Evam 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.

Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
