Overview

What this migration involves

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate structures its data around leads, contacts, companies, deals, and property-centric entities designed for residential and commercial real estate workflows. Dynamics 365 Sales uses the Dataverse model with Account, Contact, Lead, and Opportunity as core entities, plus custom tables for industry-specific data. The migration carries Leadrat's lead records, contact profiles, company data, deal pipelines, and activity history into Dynamics 365's entity architecture. Real estate property data from Leadrat requires a custom table in Dynamics since no native property entity exists in Sales Enterprise. Leadrat's follow-up tasks and stage transitions map to Dynamics Tasks and Opportunity Stage changes with original timestamps preserved. Workflows, automations, and portal integrations do not transfer — these must be rebuilt using Power Automate and Dynamics forms post-migration. FlitStack AI uses Leadrat's export API and CSV extracts to pull data, transforms field names and pick-list values against Dynamics 365's schema, then bulk-creates records via the Dataverse Web API with owner resolution by email match against Dynamics users.

What's pushing teams away

  • Call tracking discrepancies: one reviewer reported dialling 20+ numbers with zero calls logged in the system, suggesting telephony integration failures that silently break follow-up attribution.
  • Dark-theme interface with smaller font sizes creates readability issues in low-light conditions, particularly during site visits or outdoor property showings where agents rely on the mobile app.
  • Data retention practices may conflict with GDPR or user deletion requests — the Google Play listing explicitly states data cannot be deleted, which creates compliance risk for European clients or those with strict data governance policies.
  • Limited documented API surface beyond basic export endpoints; teams with custom integration needs or automated pipeline workflows report difficulty extending Leadrat beyond its native feature set.

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 Leadrat CRM for Real Estate objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a Leadrat CRM for Real Estate 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.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Lead

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Lead

1:1
Fully supported

Leadrat lead records map directly to Dynamics 365 Lead entity. Lead status values (New, Contacted, Qualified, Unqualified) map to Dynamics Lead.Statuscode option-set values. Source attribution fields transfer as text fields or custom fields in Dynamics. The original lead creation date is preserved in a custom field to maintain historical reporting continuity after migration.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Lead (post-qualification)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:many
Fully supported

When Leadrat leads advance to a closed-won or customer status, FlitStack maps those records to Dynamics Contact. The split is driven by Leadrat lead stage values — records marked as 'Customer' or 'Closed Won' route to Contact; earlier stages remain as Lead in Dynamics until manually qualified.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Company

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Leadrat company records map 1:1 to Dynamics Account. Account.Name, Website, Industry, NumberOfEmployees, and AnnualRevenue transfer directly. Leadrat parent-company hierarchies map to Account.ParentAccountId — circular references are flagged before migration commits. Any unmatched industry values are stored in a custom text field to preserve source data fidelity.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Contact

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Leadrat contact records map to Dynamics Contact with FullName, Email, Phone, MobilePhone, JobTitle, and Address fields transferred directly. Contacts without a Leadrat company association receive a placeholder 'Unassigned Account' link in Dynamics to satisfy the AccountId lookup requirement. This ensures referential integrity while flagging records for manual account assignment review.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Deal

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Leadrat deal records map to Dynamics Opportunity. Deal name, amount, close date, owner, and stage transfer directly. Dynamics Opportunity requires an AccountId lookup — Leadrat deals linked to companies resolve to the corresponding Account; deals without a company link use a default account to satisfy the required relationship.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Deal Stage

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity Stage

1:1
Fully supported

Each Leadrat pipeline stage name maps to a corresponding Dynamics Opportunity StageName value. Stage probability and forecast category are reapplied from Dynamics defaults or your specified mapping table. Custom stage names require option-set value creation in Dynamics before migration — FlitStack generates the option-set specification for your admin to apply.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Pipeline

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Sales Process + Option Set

1:1
Fully supported

Leadrat pipelines map to Dynamics Sales Processes — each pipeline becomes a separate Sales Process in Dynamics. The stage names within each pipeline become StageName option-set values scoped to that Sales Process. Multi-pipeline setups require a pre-migration review to define the correct Sales Process assignments.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Property (Real Estate)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Table (new_Property)

1:1
Fully supported

Leadrat property records have no native equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales. FlitStack creates a new_Property custom table in Dataverse with fields for property name, type, address, price, status, and linked lead/contact lookups. Custom table creation is scoped to Sales Enterprise licensing.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Activity (Task, Follow-up)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Leadrat follow-up tasks and activity records map to Dynamics Task entity. Subject, Description, DueDate, Priority, and Status transfer directly. Original creation timestamps and owner assignments are preserved through the migration. Completed versus open task status maps to Dynamics Task.Statuscode values so your team sees the same task state they left in Leadrat.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Activity (Call, Meeting, Email)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

PhoneCall / Appointment / Email

1:1
Fully supported

Leadrat call logs, meeting records, and email activities map to Dynamics PhoneCall, Appointment, and Email entities respectively. Original start and end times, duration, and subject lines transfer directly. Owner and regarding (linked record) lookups are resolved against migrated Contact, Account, and Opportunity records to maintain the activity context in Dynamics.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Attachment / File

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Note (Annotation)

1:1
Fully supported

Leadrat file attachments associated with leads, contacts, or deals transfer to Dynamics Note (Annotation) records. Files are downloaded from Leadrat storage and re-attached to the corresponding Dynamics record. The 25MB per-file limit in Dynamics applies — FlitStack flags files exceeding this threshold for manual handling during the migration process.

Leadrat CRM for Real Estate

Custom Fields

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Fields / Custom Table Fields

1:1
Fully supported

Leadrat custom fields on any entity map to custom fields in Dynamics. FlitStack creates fields in the target entity using the Dynamics customization layer. Field data types are mapped: text to Text, number to Whole Number or Decimal, date to DateTime, pick-list to Option Set.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Real estate property data requires a custom Dataverse table with Sales Enterprise licensing

    Leadrat CRM natively stores property records as a core object linked to leads and deals. Dynamics 365 Sales has no built-in property entity — real estate data must be stored in a custom table (new_Property) created in Dataverse. This requires Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise licensing ($105/user/mo) because Sales Professional limits custom tables to 15 total. If your team uses Leadrat's property management features heavily, the custom table creation and form design in Dynamics represents a meaningful schema investment before data lands.

  • Lead-to-Contact qualification flow requires post-migration setup in Dynamics business process stages

    Leadrat manages lead progression through stage values on a single Lead record. Dynamics 365 separates pre-qualification (Lead entity) from post-qualification (Contact + Opportunity). When Leadrat leads marked as 'Customer' or 'Closed Won' migrate to Dynamics, they land as Contacts — but the business process flow that gates the Lead→Contact qualification step still runs in Dynamics unless manually started. FlitStack maps the final stage value but cannot trigger Dynamics qualification logic; your sales team will need to manually qualify leads in the new system or configure a Power Automate flow to replicate the stage-triggered qualification behavior.

  • Leadrat follow-up tasks and automations do not transfer — Power Automate rebuild is required

    Leadrat's workflow engine stores follow-up sequences, trigger-based automations, and reminder logic internally. Dynamics 365 Sales has no equivalent workflow engine — automation lives in Power Automate (cloud flows) and business process flows. FlitStack migrates the data (tasks, activity history, timestamps) but the automation logic must be rebuilt. Leadrat users who rely on automatic follow-up reminders, stage-change triggers, or lead-nurture sequences will need to redesign these in Power Automate after migration. FlitStack exports Leadrat workflow definitions as a rebuild reference document.

  • Multi-pipeline Leadrat setups require pre-created Sales Processes in Dynamics

    Leadrat allows teams to maintain multiple deal pipelines with different stage sets simultaneously. Dynamics 365 scopes Opportunity stage pick-list values to Sales Processes — each Leadrat pipeline needs a corresponding Sales Process created in Dynamics before migration runs. If your Leadrat instance has three pipelines (e.g., Residential Sales, Commercial Leasing, Investor Deals), FlitStack cannot auto-create three Sales Processes; your Dynamics admin must create them in Advanced Settings first. Without pre-created Sales Processes, stage mapping defaults to the default pipeline and may lose pipeline-specific stage context.

  • Leadrat API rate limits may throttle export for large datasets

    Leadrat's API enforces rate limits that cap the number of export requests per minute. For Leadrat instances with more than 200,000 records, the export phase may require iterative batched extraction across multiple sessions. FlitStack handles batching automatically but notes that export duration scales with dataset size and API responsiveness. Teams with time-sensitive migration windows should coordinate export scheduling with Leadrat support to ensure API throughput during business hours is not throttled.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Leadrat CRM for Real Estate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales data migration

  1. Export Leadrat data via API and CSV extracts

    FlitStack initiates data extraction from Leadrat using the platform's export API and CSV download endpoints. We pull leads, contacts, companies, deals, property records, activity history, and attachments in structured batches. For large datasets (over 100,000 records), extraction runs in iterative cycles to respect Leadrat API rate limits. We validate record counts against Leadrat's internal reports before proceeding to transform phase.

  2. Build Dynamics 365 custom table schema for property and custom fields

    Before data lands, FlitStack creates the new_Property custom table in your Dynamics 365 Dataverse environment (requires Sales Enterprise). We also create all custom fields referenced in Leadrat — mapped by data type to Dynamics field types (Text, Whole Number, Decimal, Option Set, DateTime). If your Leadrat instance uses multiple pipelines, we deliver a Sales Process setup checklist so your Dynamics admin can pre-create the required Sales Processes before migration validation begins.

  3. Resolve owners by email match against Dynamics 365 users

    Leadrat owner IDs are resolved against Dynamics 365 users by matching the owner email address stored in Leadrat to the UserPrincipalName or primary email in Dynamics. Unmatched owners are flagged in a pre-flight report — your team either provisions a Dynamics license for those users or assigns their records to a designated fallback owner before migration runs. No record migrates without a valid OwnerId lookup in Dynamics.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff for validation

    A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first, spanning leads, contacts, accounts, opportunities, and property records. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values in Leadrat against destination values in Dynamics 365. You review stage mapping accuracy, owner resolution results, property record creation in the custom table, and pick-list value alignment. This validation run confirms data fidelity before the full dataset commits to your Dynamics environment, allowing corrections to field mappings or option-set values before scaling up.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full migration runs against your Dynamics 365 environment. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Leadrat records modified or created during the migration window — your team continues working in Leadrat during cutover. FlitStack generates an audit log of every record created, updated, or skipped. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation finds unexpected discrepancies. Post-migration, we deliver a rebuild reference document for Leadrat workflows and automations.

Most Leadrat-to-Dynamics 365 migrations complete in 48–72 hours of clock time for under 50,000 total records. Larger setups with 500,000+ records, multiple Leadrat pipelines, or custom property table configurations extend to 5–7 days. The longest planning step is creating the custom Dataverse table for property records and pre-creating Sales Processes if Leadrat uses multiple pipelines — those tasks run in parallel with migration planning, not during the data transfer itself.
