Overview
Legrand Cloud CRM has no publicly documented REST API, which means every migration from it requires a manual Excel export pass per module. We work around this by sequencing the export in strict dependency order—Accounts first, then Contacts, then Opportunities and subordinate objects—validating record counts against the export log after each pass. Into Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales we use the Dataverse REST API and Bulk API with batch chunking and parent-record lookup resolution so that the Company-to-Contact linkage, Opportunity-to-Account linkage, and Activity-to-Contact linkage are all resolved at insert time rather than patched afterward. We do not migrate Legrand workflows, Service Desk automations, or On-Premise add-on modules as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow and automation for the customer's admin to rebuild in Dynamics 365. Attachments export as individual files per record from Legrand rather than as a contiguous archive, so we reconstruct the folder hierarchy manually from metadata before re-attaching to the correct parent record in Dynamics 365.
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 Legrand Cloud CRM 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.
Legrand Cloud CRM
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Legrand Companies map directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Accounts. The Company Name maps to Account Name; physical address fields (street, city, state, postal code, country) map to the corresponding Address composite on Account. Company Type (Customer, Prospect, Partner) maps to Account Type or a custom field depending on the customer's use of the standard Type picklist. We ingest Accounts first in every migration pass so that Contact imports can resolve the AccountId lookup at insert time rather than in a second patching pass.
Legrand Cloud CRM
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Legrand Contacts map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Contacts with the parent AccountId resolved via the Contact's Company linkage in the Legrand export. Full name, email address, phone, mobile, job title, and role fields migrate directly. If the Legrand Contact has no linked Company, we create a placeholder Account and flag the contact for the customer's admin to reconcile the linkage post-migration. Duplicate detection runs on email address as the dedupe key after each import batch.
Legrand Cloud CRM
Lead Inbox
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1Legrand Leads in the Lead Inbox module map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Leads. Lead source, status, owner assignment, and any custom lead fields migrate directly. The Legrand Lead Status vocabulary is mapped to the Dynamics 365 Lead Status picklist (New, Contacted, Qualified, Unqualified) or preserved as a custom field if the customer's Legrand vocabulary is non-standard. Owner resolution runs by email match against the destination User table before import begins.
Legrand Cloud CRM
Opportunity
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Legrand Opportunities (Pipeline records) map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunities. Stage, estimated value, expected close date, and owner assignment migrate directly. Pipeline stage names from Legrand are preserved as text labels in a custom field if the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Process stage vocabulary differs, and we configure a custom Sales Process and Record Type per Legrand pipeline during the schema pass. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won status migrate with the relevant date fields preserved.
Legrand Cloud CRM
Sales Quote
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Quote
1:1Legrand Sales Quotes (add-on module on On-Premise; built-in on Cloud) map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Quote records. Quote line items, revision history, and conversion status (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Lost) migrate as QuoteLineItems and a custom revision number field. The Quote-to-Opportunity linkage migrates as a text reference field on Quote since the native LinkToEntity relationship requires an active Opportunity in Dynamics 365; we reconnect it during the post-migration reconciliation pass.
Legrand Cloud CRM
Service Desk Ticket
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Case
1:manyLegrand Service Desk Tickets map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Cases or Customer Service Cases depending on the destination license. Board assignment and status map to Case Record Type and Status respectively. Custom ticket fields migrate as custom Case fields. The Asset-to-Ticket linkage migrates as a text reference in a custom field until the Asset entity is provisioned in Dynamics 365. Internal agent comments do not appear in Legrand's standard Excel export; we run a separate comments extraction pass before cutover and merge the results into Case notes or a custom internal_comments__c field, flagging this as a partial-transfer item in the migration report.
Legrand Cloud CRM
Document
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note + Attachment
lossyLegrand Documents export as individual files per record rather than a contiguous folder archive. We run a bulk-rename pass to tag each file with the source record identifier (ContactID or AccountID prefix) before importing into Dynamics 365. Files are re-attached to the parent record using the regarding field on Note (for text-based documents) or as Attachments on the standard object (for binary files). The original folder hierarchy is not preserved by the Legrand export; we reconstruct it from document metadata where available.
Legrand Cloud CRM
Activity (Email / Calendar)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
EmailMessage + Task + Event
1:1Legrand's email and calendar integration exports activity records as individual text files per engagement. Email bodies migrate as Salesforce EmailMessage records linked to Tasks; call logs migrate as Tasks with TaskSubtype=Call; meeting records migrate as Events with start and end times preserved. We separate attachment files from email body text so that attachments land as ContentDocument records linked to the EmailMessage rather than as inline text. Activity ordering is preserved by setting ActivityDate to the original Legrand timestamp.
Legrand Cloud CRM
Campaign
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Campaign
1:1Legrand Campaigns map directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Campaigns. Campaign name, type (Email, Event, Webinar, Trade Show), status, and target member count migrate as Campaign fields. Campaign member associations export as a separate sheet in the Legrand Excel export; we merge them into Dynamics 365 CampaignMember records during the import pass, resolving the Campaign and Contact/Lead references at insert time.
Legrand Cloud CRM
Custom Field (per module)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field (on corresponding entity)
lossyLegrand per-module custom fields migrate to Dynamics 365 custom fields on the equivalent entity (Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, Quote, Case). We pre-create the destination schema during the discovery pass, mapping each Legrand field type to the nearest Dynamics 365 type (text to Text, number to Number, date to DateTime, checkbox to Boolean, dropdown to Picklist). Custom fields with picklist-style values require a value mapping pass before import. The custom field audit is delivered as a written schema map included in the migration documentation package.

Migration approach
Discovery and Legrand tier audit
We audit the source Legrand Cloud CRM account across tier (Starter, Business, or On-Premise), active modules (base CRM vs add-ons for Quotes, Service Desk, Assets), record counts per module, custom field schema per module, and attachment volume. We confirm whether the customer is on Cloud or On-Premise because the export path differs. The discovery output is a written migration scope document that lists every object to be migrated, the estimated row count per object, the tier constraints that apply (Starter storage limits, On-Premise add-on pricing), and a Dynamics 365 edition recommendation based on the customer's user count and module requirements.
Legrand export coordination
We guide the customer's Legrand admin through the manual export pass. Accounts export first; we validate the row count and field headers against the discovery data. Contacts export second; we validate the Company linkage column is present. Opportunities, Quotes, Campaigns, and Service Desk Tickets export in subsequent passes. Documents export last as individual files per record. We run a comments extraction pass for Service Desk internal notes simultaneously. Each export is validated before the next begins so that any data-quality issue (missing column, wrong encoding, truncated export) is caught in the preparation phase rather than during the live migration.
Schema design for Dynamics 365
We design the destination Dynamics 365 schema before any data is loaded. This includes provisioning any custom fields on Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, Quote, and Case entities to match the Legrand custom field schema. We configure Sales Processes and Record Types for each Legrand pipeline so that stage vocabulary is preserved or explicitly mapped. We pre-create the Dynamics 365 migration user with the Dataverse data migration role and coordinate with the customer's admin to temporarily disable or adjust validation rules that would block bulk insert. Schema is validated in the destination org before production migration begins.
Owner and user reconciliation
We extract every distinct Legrand Owner referenced on Contact, Company, Opportunity, and Engagement records and match by email against the Dynamics 365 destination org's User table. Owners without a matching User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. This step is a prerequisite for Opportunity and Contact import because OwnerId is a required field on both objects in most Dynamics 365 configurations.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts first (from Legrand Companies), then Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Leads, Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), Quotes and QuoteLineItems, Cases (Service Desk), Campaigns and CampaignMembers, Activities (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages via Bulk API), Documents (as Notes and Attachments), and custom field data last. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report comparing Legrand source count to Dynamics 365 destination count. Discrepancies trigger a re-export and re-import pass before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze Legrand writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration run, then enable Dynamics 365 as the system of record. We deliver the migration validation report: record counts by object, sample record spot-check against the source export, and a list of any fields that were truncated or defaulted during import. We do not rebuild Legrand workflows, Service Desk automations, or On-Premise add-on logic as Dynamics 365 workflows or Power Automate flows; that work is itemized in a separate automation inventory document for the customer's admin to rebuild post-migration.
