Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from iPresso to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a platform-type migration: iPresso is a multi-channel marketing automation and CDP platform; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a sales CRM with Accounts, Contacts, Leads, and Opportunities. The data models differ fundamentally. iPresso stores Contact records with behavioral event history, tag memberships, and campaign interaction logs; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales expects Leads or Contacts attached to Accounts with Opportunities representing pipeline. We resolve that structural mismatch during scoping, extract whatever data iPresso's undocumented API permits (or through direct coordination with their team), and map it to the Dynamics 365 schema. We do not migrate iPresso Workflows, landing pages, or automation sequences as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow with a recommended Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent for your admin to rebuild in Power Automate or Dynamics workflows post-migration.

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.

What's pushing teams away

  • API documentation is not publicly accessible and migration tooling is limited, making automated data extraction difficult for teams moving to another platform
  • The interface is feature-dense — reviewers note that some functionalities are difficult to locate without training or occasional assistance from iPresso staff
  • Feature development cycles are slower than global competitors, and support for complex multilingual or international campaigns requires custom configuration
  • No published public API schema, rate limits, or documented export endpoints, creating uncertainty for teams evaluating data portability
  • Documentation and community resources are primarily in Polish, presenting a barrier for non-Polish-speaking teams or global rollouts

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 iPresso objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a iPresso 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.

iPresso

Contact

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Lead or Contact (split required)

1:many
Fully supported

iPresso Contacts with lifecycle stage values indicating prospect status (Subscriber, Lead, Marketing Qualified) map to Salesforce Lead. Contacts with lifecycle stage values indicating sales engagement (Sales Qualified, Customer, Evangelist) map to Salesforce Contact attached to an Account. We compute the split during the transform phase using iPresso's lifecycle_stage property, preserve the original value in a custom field ipresso_lifecycle__c on both Lead and Contact, and use email address as the dedupe key. Contact ownership (hubspot_owner_id equivalent) maps to Salesforce OwnerId via the User lookup.

iPresso

Company

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

iPresso Company records map directly to Salesforce Account. Company domain name from iPresso becomes the Account Website field and serves as the dedupe key. Industry classifications, annual revenue, employee count, and custom company fields migrate to typed Salesforce fields. Account is created before Contact import so that the AccountId lookup is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert to avoid orphaned records.

iPresso

Campaign

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Campaign

1:1
Fully supported

iPresso Campaign records map to Salesforce Campaign. Campaign name, type, status, start and end dates, budgeted cost, and actual cost transfer directly. Audience segments from iPresso (contact lists and tag-based filters) are recreated as Salesforce Campaign MemberStatuses. Note that iPresso's multi-channel campaign tracking (SMS, Push, Print sends and responses) has no direct Salesforce Campaign equivalent; we document the channel breakdown per campaign so the customer can assess whether Dynamics 365 Marketing module is needed.

iPresso

Tag

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Multi-Select Picklist or Topic

lossy
Fully supported

iPresso contact segmentation tags migrate to Salesforce custom multi-select picklist fields on Contact and Lead. Tag names are preserved as picklist values. If tags are used for content or campaign classification rather than lead segmentation, we map them to Salesforce Topics with TopicAssignment records. The customer selects the tag strategy during scoping.

iPresso

Custom Fields (Contact and Company)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Fields

lossy
Fully supported

iPresso custom properties on Contacts and Companies require pre-creation in Salesforce before migration. We map iPresso field types (text, number, date, checkbox, dropdown) to Salesforce field types (Text, Number, Date, Checkbox, Picklist). Validation rules, required field constraints, and conditional display logic from iPresso are documented in the schema deliverable for the customer's admin to re-implement in Salesforce field settings.

iPresso

Engagement: Email

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

EmailMessage + Task

1:1
Fully supported

iPresso email engagement records migrate to Salesforce EmailMessage (the email body and headers) linked to an Activity Task (the timeline entry). The WhoId on Task points to the migrated Lead or Contact; the WhatId points to the related Account or Opportunity if applicable. Email open and click event data from iPresso is preserved as custom Task fields since Salesforce Activity does not natively store marketing engagement metrics.

iPresso

Engagement: Call

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task (TaskSubtype = Call)

1:1
Fully supported

iPresso call engagements map to Salesforce Task with TaskSubtype = Call. Call disposition, duration in seconds, and any recording URL migrate to custom Task fields. ActivityDate is set to the original iPresso timestamp to preserve timeline ordering. Owner assignment migrates via Owner email lookup against the Salesforce User table.

iPresso

Engagement: Meeting

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Event

1:1
Fully supported

iPresso meeting engagements map to Salesforce Event. StartDateTime, EndDateTime, Subject, Location, and Description transfer directly. Attendee information from iPresso creates EventRelation records pointing at the migrated Lead or Contact. Meeting outcome and status from iPresso become custom Event fields.

iPresso

Engagement: Note

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Note

1:1
Fully supported

iPresso note engagements migrate to Salesforce Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent record (Lead, Contact, Account, or Opportunity). Note body migrates as rich text. Attachments migrate as ContentDocument records with ContentDocumentLink associations. Note timestamps are preserved in Salesforce to maintain the activity timeline.

iPresso

Workflow

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Workflow (not migrated)

1:1
Fully supported

iPresso multi-step automation sequences do not migrate as code to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales because the automation models differ structurally. We deliver a written Workflow Inventory documenting every active iPresso workflow with its trigger conditions, action sequence, time delays, and a recommended Power Automate or Dynamics 365 workflow equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds workflows post-migration based on this inventory.

Pair-specific challenges

  • iPresso has no publicly documented API or export endpoints

    iPresso does not publish API documentation, rate limits, or self-service export endpoints. This means there is no programmatic path to extract Contacts, Campaigns, or Workflows without direct coordination with the iPresso team. We handle this by requesting a managed data dump from iPresso's support or services team, or by using structured data extraction methods where the source data is accessible. We scope this extraction step explicitly during discovery so the customer understands the coordination dependency and timeline impact before migration begins.

  • Marketing campaign data has no native Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent

    iPresso Campaigns carry multi-channel send data (Email, SMS, Web Push, Print), audience segments, open and click rates, and conversion attribution. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Campaign object tracks campaign members and response statuses but does not natively store multi-channel send metrics. We migrate campaign records with available fields and document the channel breakdown per campaign. If the customer needs full marketing analytics post-migration, Dynamics 365 Marketing module or Power BI reporting on the migrated campaign data is the path forward.

  • Workflows and automation sequences do not migrate across platforms

    iPresso workflows reference contact triggers, tag conditions, time delays, and CRM actions by internal identifiers that change during migration. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales workflows (Power Automate, Dynamics workflows) use a different action model and trigger syntax. We do not migrate workflows as executable code. We inventory every active iPresso workflow with its trigger logic and action sequence, and the customer's admin rebuilds them in Power Automate or Dynamics 365 native workflows post-migration based on our written handoff document.

  • Data quality issues in iPresso will block Dynamics 365 import

    iPresso contact records often contain duplicate email addresses, incomplete company associations, missing lifecycle stages, and stale engagement history that was never cleaned up. Dynamics 365 validation rules and required field constraints (AccountId on Contact, for example) will reject records that pass iPresso but fail Salesforce. We audit data quality during discovery, flag records that require cleansing, and apply deduplication and validation before loading into Dynamics 365. Skipping this step results in partial imports with orphaned or rejected records.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and data extraction assessment

    We audit the iPresso environment for record volumes (Contacts, Companies, Campaigns, Engagement history), custom field configurations, active workflow count, and any industry solution objects in use. Because iPresso has no public API, we assess whether a managed data export can be requested from iPresso's support or services team, or whether structured extraction via available iPresso export features is feasible. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a data extraction plan with a coordination timeline, and a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales edition recommendation (Sales Professional at $65/user for standard migrations, Sales Enterprise at $105/user if multi-pipeline or advanced automation is needed).

  2. Schema design and field mapping specification

    We design the destination Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales schema based on the iPresso data model. This includes provisioning custom fields on Contact, Lead, Account, and Campaign (matching iPresso field types to Salesforce field types), designing the Lead-Contact split rule based on the customer's iPresso lifecycle stage values, and configuring Account-Contact lookup relationships. We also design the tag-to-picklist mapping and document which iPresso custom fields will become Salesforce custom fields. Schema is deployed to a Salesforce Sandbox first for validation.

  3. Sandbox migration and data quality remediation

    We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead validates record counts, spot-checks 25-50 records against the iPresso source, and reviews the Lead-Contact split output. Data quality issues (duplicates, missing required fields, invalid lookups) are remediated during this phase. Any schema corrections happen here, not in production. The customer signs off on the sandbox output before production migration begins.

  4. User and owner reconciliation

    We extract every distinct iPresso Owner referenced on Contact, Company, and Engagement records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any iPresso Owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Salesforce OwnerId is required on most standard objects, so this step must complete before record imports proceed.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from iPresso Companies), Contacts and Leads (with the lifecycle-stage split applied and AccountId resolved), Campaigns (with channel metadata documented), Product data (if applicable), and Activity history (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages, Notes via Dynamics 365 Bulk API with chunking and exponential backoff). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We freeze iPresso writes during the cutover window and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window.

  6. Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff

    We enable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as the system of record and perform a final validation pass comparing record counts, sample record integrity, and activity timeline completeness. We deliver the Workflow Inventory document listing every active iPresso automation with its trigger logic, conditions, and a Power Automate rebuild recommendation. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild iPresso workflows inside the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's admin or a separate Power Automate engagement.

Most migrations land between four and eight weeks for accounts under 15,000 Contacts and 3,000 Companies with straightforward custom field configurations. Migrations with large engagement histories (over 200,000 activity records), multiple iPresso industry solution objects, or data requiring extensive cleansing before migration move to ten to sixteen weeks. The data extraction coordination with iPresso's team (given their undocumented API) adds scoping time that we account for in the discovery phase.
