Overview
Migrating from Fortifi to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a structural migration with unique export considerations. Fortifi's data model orbits around Customers, Actions, Conversions, Emails, Interactions, and Invoices with no published API endpoint reference, which means export paths must be assessed per-customer during scoping. Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales uses the Contact-Account-Opportunity model with Lead as the prospect entry point. We map Fortifi Customers to Accounts and Contacts, preserve Action and Interaction logs as Task records with custom fields for behavioral tracking, and migrate Invoices to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales invoices or attachments depending on the target edition. Automation rules, dunning sequences, and renewal triggers do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every Fortifi workflow requiring manual re-implementation in Dynamics 365 or Power Automate. The usage-based pricing model on Fortifi means volume during extraction may approach tier ceilings, which we scope and pace during discovery.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Fortifi 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.
Fortifi
Customer
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account and Contact
1:manyFortifi Customers map to both a Dynamics 365 Account (representing the company) and a primary Contact (representing the key business contact). The Customer name becomes the Account Name, Customer email becomes the primary Contact Email, and any company-level custom properties map to fields on the Account. We create the Account first as the parent record so that the Contact can be linked via the AccountId lookup at insert time.
Fortifi
Action
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task (custom fields)
1:1Fortifi Actions are behavioral event records tracking customer interactions. We map Action records to Dynamics 365 Task with custom fields capturing the action type (action_type), classification (action_classification), and behavioral metadata (action_properties as JSON). ActivityDate preserves the original timestamp for timeline ordering. The WhatId on Task links to the parent Account for cross-contact behavioral visibility.
Fortifi
Conversion
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity or Lead
1:1Fortifi Conversions represent goal completions tied to marketing or sales workflows. We map Conversion records to Dynamics 365 Lead (if the prospect is still unqualified) or Opportunity (if tied to an existing Account-Contact relationship). The conversion attribution data maps to Lead Source, Campaign, or Opportunity fields depending on the Fortifi conversion context captured during discovery.
Fortifi
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
EmailMessage + Task
1:1Fortifi Email records include sent, delivered, opened, and bounced states with template associations. We map email content to Dynamics 365 EmailMessage records linked to a Task activity entry. The email status (sent, delivered, opened, bounced) maps to EmailMessage status fields. Template associations become custom fields on the EmailMessage record. Campaign attribution data migrates to Campaign and CampaignMember records if the customer maintains campaign history.
Fortifi
Interaction
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task
1:1Fortifi Interactions track customer touchpoints across support and engagement channels. We map Interaction records to Dynamics 365 Task with custom fields for channel type (interaction_channel), interaction summary (interaction_summary), and related customer reference (customer_id mapped to AccountId). Timestamps preserve the original interaction time for activity timeline sequencing.
Fortifi
Invoice
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Invoice or Attachment
lossyFortifi Invoices carry full financial data including line items, payment status, due dates, and tax codes. For Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Professional and above, we map invoice records to the native Invoice object with line items preserved as InvoiceProduct records. For Dynamics 365 editions without native invoicing, we attach the invoice PDF as a ContentDocument linked to the Account, and create a custom Invoice record for header metadata. The associated Customer and Subscription linkages resolve to AccountId and OpportunityId references respectively.
Fortifi
Subscription
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity or Custom Entity
1:1Fortifi Subscription records define recurring billing models, cycles, and plan assignments linked to Invoices. We map Subscription definitions to Dynamics 365 Opportunity (for active recurring revenue tracking) or a custom Subscription entity if the customer requires detailed subscription metadata. Plan assignment maps to Opportunity Type or a custom field. Advanced billing rules (proration, trial periods, tiered pricing) require manual review post-migration as Dynamics 365 native subscription management requires additional configuration.
Fortifi
Custom Properties
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Fields
lossyFortifi custom fields on Customers and other objects map to Dynamics 365 custom fields on the equivalent entity. We discover the custom property schema during scoping, create the corresponding custom fields in Dynamics 365 (with appropriate field types: text, number, picklist, date, boolean), and map data during the import phase. Fields without a clear Dynamics 365 equivalent are flagged for customer review and mapped to a generic text field or held in a migration holding table for follow-up.
Fortifi
Pipeline
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Record Type + Sales Process
lossyFortifi pipeline and stage definitions map to Dynamics 365 Record Types on Opportunity with corresponding Sales Processes that whitelist stage values. Stage probability percentages transfer from Fortifi to StageProbability on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Process. Each Fortifi pipeline becomes a separate Record Type with its own Page Layout assignment.
Fortifi
User
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User
1:1Fortifi User records including role and permission assignments map to Dynamics 365 User records. We resolve Fortifi users by email match against the destination Dynamics 365 tenant. Role names transfer as a reference field; actual Dynamics 365 security roles are assigned during post-migration configuration based on the customer's role matrix documentation gathered during discovery.

Migration approach
Export capability assessment and tier reconciliation
We audit the Fortifi account for available export methods, record volumes by type (Customers, Actions, Conversions, Emails, Interactions, Invoices), current usage against tier limits, and any custom property schemas. This assessment determines whether the migration uses programmatic extraction, CSV export, or a hybrid approach. We also identify any Fortifi automation rules, dunning sequences, and renewal triggers for the written inventory document. The assessment output is a written migration approach and a recommendation on whether a temporary tier upgrade is needed to complete extraction without billing overages.
Schema design and Dynamics 365 environment preparation
We design the destination schema in Dynamics 365. This includes provisioning custom fields on Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, and Task to capture Fortifi-specific data that has no native Dynamics 365 equivalent. We create Record Types and Sales Processes corresponding to Fortifi pipelines, configure Page Layouts per Record Type, and set up the security role matrix. Schema is deployed into a Dynamics 365 Sandbox environment first for validation before any production data moves.
Sandbox migration and data reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Dynamics 365 Sandbox using production-like data volumes. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts across all Fortifi object types, spot-checks 20-40 random records against the source, and validates custom field mapping. Any schema corrections, field type adjustments, or mapping refinements happen in the Sandbox before production migration begins.
User provisioning and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct Fortifi User referenced on Customer, Action, Interaction, and Invoice records and match by email against the Dynamics 365 destination tenant. Any Fortifi user without a matching Dynamics 365 User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard Dynamics 365 objects.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Fortifi Customers), primary Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Leads (from Fortifi Conversions for unqualified prospects), Opportunities (from Fortifi Conversions and Subscriptions tied to accounts), Actions and Interactions (as Task records with custom fields), Emails (as EmailMessage plus Task activity records), Invoices (as native Invoice or Account-attached document), and custom property data. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Fortifi write access 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 automation inventory document to the customer's admin team for Power Automate or Dynamics 365 workflow rebuild. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Fortifi automation rules inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
