Overview

What this migration involves

Lime Go organizes sales data around a simplified object model: Companies, People (contacts), Deals with pipeline stages, and a chronological history log. Dynamics 365 Sales uses the more structured Microsoft Dataverse model with Accounts (not Companies), Contacts with AccountId lookups, Opportunities with StageName pick-lists tied to Business Process Flows, and activity PartyLists for multi-contact associations. The migration carries every Lime Go record—companies become Accounts, people become Contacts, deals become Opportunities, tasks and notes become Dynamics Tasks and Notes. Custom fields on Lime Go objects migrate as custom columns on the corresponding Dataverse table. Workflows, automations, and Lime Go-specific integrations (Lime Discover, Nordic company data enrichment) do not migrate; we export workflow definitions as a reference for rebuilding in Dynamics 365's Power Automate. Owner resolution uses email matching against Azure Active Directory users in your Dynamics tenant. The migration runs via Dynamics 365's Bulk API with field-level validation before commit, and a delta-pickup window captures changes made during cutover.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Lime Go

What's pushing teams away

  • Poor third-party integrations force users to manually log emails and other communications, creating data silos and significant administrative overhead in daily workflows.
  • Task management lacks batch operations—users cannot select multiple reminders and postpone them in one action, causing friction when managing high-activity sales teams.
  • Limited commenting functionality: users cannot reply to comments, making collaborative note-taking and team communication less structured than alternatives.
  • Not advanced enough for project management use cases despite covering CRM fundamentals, prompting teams with project-heavy workflows to seek alternative platforms.

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 Lime Go objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a Lime Go 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.

Lime Go

Company

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Company maps directly to Dynamics 365 Account. Address fields (street, city, postal code, country) translate to the Account.Address1 composite. Multi-address setups in Lime Go (billing vs shipping) require splitting into Account.Address1 and Account.Address2 or creating child records. We recommend consolidating addresses to the primary location during migration to avoid duplicate Account creation.

Lime Go

Person

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Person maps to Dynamics 365 Contact. The contact's company property becomes Contact.AccountId—a lookup to the parent Account. Lime Go person-to-multiple-companies associations collapse to the primary company link plus Account Contact Relationships in Dynamics 365. If a person has multiple company associations, we preserve the secondary links as Account Contact Relationship records with role designations.

Lime Go

Deal

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Deal maps to Dynamics 365 Opportunity. The deal name becomes Opportunity.Name, amount maps to EstimatedValue, and close date becomes EstimatedCloseDate. The pipeline stage in Lime Go maps to Opportunity.StageName via value mapping against the target Business Process Flow.

Lime Go

Pipeline

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Business Process Flow

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go pipeline definitions translate to Dynamics 365 Business Process Flows. Each pipeline becomes a BPF with stages corresponding to Lime Go stages. BPFs are tied to the Opportunity entity and drive the StageName pick-list values users see when working deals.

Lime Go

Task

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go tasks map to Dynamics 365 Tasks. Subject, description, due date, and priority transfer directly. The regarding object links to the parent Account or Opportunity. Owner resolves by email match to Dynamics 365 user. Recurring task patterns in Lime Go are captured as custom fields on the Task record since Dynamics 365 handles recurrence through the RecurringAppointmentMaster entity.

Lime Go

Call

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

PhoneCall

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go call records become Dynamics 365 PhoneCall activities. Call direction (inbound/outbound) maps to DirectionCode. Subject and duration transfer; phone number stored in PhoneNumber field. Regarding links to the Account or Contact. Call outcomes and notes in Lime Go map to the PhoneCall.Description field and are preserved as part of the activity timeline.

Lime Go

Meeting

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Appointment

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go meetings map to Dynamics 365 Appointments. Start time, end time, location, and subject transfer. Attendees from Lime Go populate the Appointment's PartyList using Contact or Account lookups matched by email. Meeting body content and attachments migrate to the Appointment's Description field and annotation attachments respectively, maintaining the complete meeting record.

Lime Go

Note

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Annotation

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go notes become Dynamics 365 Annotations. Note text maps to Annotation.NoteText. File attachments in Lime Go download and re-upload to Dynamics 365 SharePoint document management or the Annotation's attachment storage (25MB per file limit applies). Embedded images within notes are preserved as base64 annotations or migrated to SharePoint with a reference link stored in the annotation.

Lime Go

Activity History

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

ActivityPointer

1:1
Fully supported

The chronological activity log in Lime Go—calls, emails, meetings, notes in sequence—migrates as individual activity records. The relative ordering and timestamps are preserved; Dynamics 365 displays them in the Timeline control on the Account and Contact forms. Each activity type maintains its specific entity type (PhoneCall, Email, Appointment, Annotation) while preserving the temporal sequence from the original Lime Go timeline.

Lime Go

Custom Fields (Company)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account Custom Columns

1:1
Fully supported

Any Lime Go custom properties on the Company object become custom columns on the Account table in Dataverse. Field types (text, number, date, pick-list) map to the equivalent Dataverse column type. Pick-list custom fields require value mapping if the options differ between systems.

Lime Go

Custom Fields (Person)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact Custom Columns

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go custom properties on Person records migrate as custom columns on the Contact table. Multi-select pick-lists in Lime Go convert to option-set columns in Dynamics 365 with the same value labels preserved for reference. Boolean custom fields map to the TwoOption column type in Dataverse, maintaining the true/false state for each contact record.

Lime Go

Custom Fields (Deal)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity Custom Columns

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go deal-level custom fields map to custom columns on Opportunity. Currency custom fields in Lime Go use the organization's base currency unless the Dynamics 365 multi-currency model is configured, in which case we map the transaction currency and exchange rate.

Lime Go

Lime Go Workflows

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Power Automate Flows

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go workflows and automations have no direct equivalent in Dynamics 365 and do not migrate. We export the workflow definitions as a structured JSON reference document so your Dynamics admin can rebuild equivalent logic in Power Automate or Dynamics workflows.

Lime Go

Lime Discover Data

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Reference Fields

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go's built-in Nordic company enrichment data (3.7 million Nordic business records) does not transfer. We migrate Lime Go's enriched fields as read-only custom text fields on the Account so the data is preserved for reference even without active enrichment in Dynamics 365.

Lime Go

Owner/User

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

SystemUser

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go owner assignments resolve by email matching against Dynamics 365 SystemUser records. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration; your team either provisions a Dynamics user first or assigns to a fallback owner. Owner history is preserved as a custom audit field on migrated records.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Lime Go's Nordic company data has no Dynamics 365 equivalent

    Lime Go ships with built-in enrichment for 3.7 million Nordic companies—employee counts, industry classifications, and decision-maker data available at setup. Dynamics 365 has no native Nordic enrichment; LinkedIn Sales Navigator is available on higher tiers but requires separate licensing and user opt-in. We migrate Lime Go's enriched fields as read-only custom text fields on the Account so the data is preserved, but you will need a third-party data provider (e.g., Cognism, ZoomInfo) or LinkedIn Sales Navigator for ongoing enrichment in Dynamics 365.

  • Lime Go workflows do not transfer to Power Automate

    Lime Go automation rules—triggers based on stage changes, deadline alerts, owner assignments, and notification workflows—run inside Lime Go's execution engine and have no export format compatible with Microsoft Power Automate. Dynamics 365 workflows require rebuild using Power Automate cloud flows, Dataverse workflows, or the legacy workflow designer. We export Lime Go workflow definitions as a structured JSON document describing trigger conditions and actions so your Dynamics admin has a rebuild reference, but the migration itself carries only data.

  • Contact requires AccountId in Dynamics 365—no orphan contacts

    Lime Go allows Person records without a linked Company. Dynamics 365 Contact requires an AccountId lookup for most out-of-box functionality. We map contacts without a primary company to a designated 'Unassigned Accounts' placeholder record. Your admin can either create individual Account records for these contacts or merge them into an appropriate existing Account before go-live. Dynamics 365 does allow 'Write-In' contacts without AccountId for marketing scenarios, but standard sales workflows expect Account linkage.

  • Lime Go pipeline stages map to Business Process Flow stages in Dynamics 365

    Each Lime Go pipeline definition becomes a Business Process Flow in Dynamics 365 Sales. BPFs are entities tied to Opportunity and control the StageName pick-list visible to users. If your Lime Go setup has multiple pipelines with overlapping stage names (e.g., 'Proposal' in Pipeline A means something different than 'Proposal' in Pipeline B), Dynamics 365's single StageName field per Opportunity requires that you either create separate Business Process Flows with distinct stage sets or consolidate stage semantics before migration. We include a stage-semantics review step in the migration plan.

  • Lime Go's per-user flat pricing does not map to Dynamics 365's tiered model

    Lime Go charges a flat €40/user/month with no distinction between features. Dynamics 365 Sales tiers users into Professional ($65/user/month), Enterprise ($105), and Premium ($150) with feature gates around Sales Insights, Copilot, and relationship intelligence. Your Lime Go user count does not directly map to a Dynamics 365 user type—you may have power users who need Enterprise features alongside occasional users who only need Professional. We flag user-role requirements during scoping so your licensing decision aligns with actual usage patterns post-migration.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discover Lime Go schema and custom fields

    FlitStack AI connects to your Lime Go instance via API to enumerate all objects, standard fields, and custom properties. We generate a schema inventory listing every custom field, its data type, pick-list values, and the object it belongs to. This inventory drives the custom-column creation plan for Dynamics 365 and identifies any fields that require value mapping or transformation logic. The discovery report is shared with your Dynamics admin for review before migration begins.

  2. Build Dynamics 365 custom columns and Business Process Flows

    Before data moves, your Dynamics 365 admin (or our team) creates the custom columns identified during discovery on the Account, Contact, and Opportunity Dataverse tables. We deliver a step-by-step setup plan for each custom field including data type, option-set values, and required/optional designation. Business Process Flows matching your Lime Go pipeline definitions are created in the Dynamics 365 process designer. This schema-first approach ensures records land in the correct structure on first import.

  3. Resolve owners and provision Dynamics 365 users

    Lime Go owner assignments resolve by email matching against Azure Active Directory-synced SystemUser records in your Dynamics 365 tenant. We run an owner-resolution dry-run before migration to flag any Lime Go owner without a corresponding Dynamics user. Your team either provisions a new Dynamics user for each unmatched owner or assigns them to a designated fallback owner. No record migrates without a resolved OwnerId to prevent orphaned opportunities in Dynamics 365.

  4. Sequence migration: Accounts → Contacts → Opportunities → Activities

    Dynamics 365 foreign-key constraints require a specific migration order. Accounts must exist before Contacts (AccountId lookup), and Contacts should exist before Opportunities (Contact Roles). We sequence the migration as: (1) Accounts from Lime Go Companies, (2) Contacts from Lime Go Persons with AccountId linking, (3) Opportunities from Lime Go Deals with pipeline-to-BPF mapping, (4) Tasks, PhoneCalls, Appointments, and Annotations linked to their parent records. Activities can run in parallel within their entity group but respect the parent-record dependency chain.

  5. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice—typically 100-300 records spanning Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and a cross-section of activity types—migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values for every mapped column. You review the diff to verify stage-name mapping, custom field population, owner resolution, and date preservation before the full migration commits. Any mapping corrections happen at this stage. This validation step catches value-mapping errors and ensures your team approves the data transformation logic before committing to a full cutover, reducing the risk of needing post-migration corrections.

  6. Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback

    The full migration runs against Dynamics 365 using the Bulk API for batched record creation. A delta-pickup window (24-48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Lime Go during the cutover period. FlitStack AI logs every operation to an audit table. If reconciliation reveals data integrity issues, one-click rollback reverts the Dynamics 365 environment to its pre-migration state. Your team continues working in Lime Go throughout the migration window without interruption.

Most Lime Go to Dynamics 365 migrations complete within 48-72 hours of clock time for instances under 50,000 records. Larger setups with 200,000+ records or multiple Business Process Flow configurations extend to 5-10 days. The longest phase is typically the schema setup in Dynamics 365 (custom columns, BPF design) and the owner-resolution dry-run, which together account for 1-3 days before any data moves. The actual data transfer runs in hours for moderate volumes once schema is confirmed.
