Overview
Omni.us is a script-based outbound engagement platform, not a full CRM. It stores Scripts, Target Accounts, Case Studies, and Responses but has no native Contacts object, no Deals or Opportunities, and no dedicated Activities API. Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a full relationship-management system with Account, Contact, Opportunity, Lead, and Activity objects that have no direct Omni equivalents. We address the structural gap by reconstructing a contact layer from Response records, mapping Target Accounts to Accounts, and converting Scripts to Notes or Sales Literature. Automatic Pausing rules migrate as written workflow inventory for your Dynamics admin to rebuild in Power Automate or Dynamics workflow designer. We do not migrate workflows, sequences, or automations as code; we deliver a documented inventory for manual rebuild. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales pricing starts at $65 per user per month for the Professional tier, which is separate from migration fees.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Omni.us 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.
Omni.us
Target Accounts
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Omni Target Accounts are the company-level records used instead of a traditional CRM Account object. We map these directly to Dynamics 365 Account records, preserving company name, domain, industry, and any workbook-level custom fields. The account_domain field maps to Account.Website. Target Accounts are imported before any reconstructed Contact records to satisfy the Account-Contact Lookup relationship in Dynamics.
Omni.us
Responses (reconstructed)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:manyOmni Responses tie a contact identifier (email, name, phone) to a Script and Target Account. Since Omni has no native Contacts object, we reconstruct the contact layer by grouping Responses by email address, creating one Dynamics Contact per unique address, and linking it to the Target Account (now Account) that the Response references. Any Response without an associated Script still generates a Contact record flagged for manual review post-migration.
Omni.us
Scripts
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note or Custom Entity
1:1Omni Scripts are outreach sequence templates with placeholders, branching logic, and step ordering. Dynamics 365 has no native Script object. We migrate script text and structure as a Note attached to the Account or as records in a custom Script entity (created in the destination Dynamics org during schema setup). Placeholder tokens and branching logic are preserved as structured text fields; the customer decides whether to use Notes or a custom entity based on rebuild intent.
Omni.us
Case Studies
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note or SharePoint Document
1:1Omni Case Studies are content attachments linked to accounts or scripts. Dynamics 365 has no native Case Study object. We export the text content, title, and metadata. Depending on the customer's preference, Case Studies migrate as Notes on the Account record or as documents in a SharePoint document library linked via the Dynamics-SharePoint integration. The choice is made during scoping and affects whether Case Studies appear in the Dynamics timeline or require separate navigation.
Omni.us
Automatic Pausing Rules
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power Automate Flow or Dynamics Workflow
lossyOmni Automatic Pausing rules govern when outreach sequences pause based on prospect actions. These do not migrate as active automation because Dynamics workflow models differ structurally. We export a written inventory of each Automatic Pausing rule with its trigger condition, pause action, and resume logic, mapped to a Power Automate Flow or Dynamics workflow design recommendation. The customer's admin implements the rebuild post-migration.
Omni.us
Custom Workbook Fields
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Fields on Account/Contact/Note
lossyOmni's three-layer modeling (schema, shared, workbook) means custom fields exist at different abstraction levels and include Duration, calculated, and nested property types. We perform a pre-migration field audit against the Omni model IDE to enumerate all active custom fields and their data types, then map Duration fields to Dynamics Duration (integer in minutes), calculated fields to Dynamics computed column or plugin logic, and nested properties to JSON-encoded text or custom child entities. The customer approves the field map before any records write.
Omni.us
Users / Seats
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User
1:1Omni user records map to Dynamics 365 User by email match. We extract every distinct user referenced on Script, Target Account, and Response records, resolve against the destination Dynamics org's User table, and flag any users without a matching Dynamics User for admin provisioning before the production migration begins. Role and permission structures in Omni are minimal so granular access control does not migrate; we create baseline User records with the Sales role.
Omni.us
Activities
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task / Event
1:1Omni does not expose a dedicated Activities object in its API. We cannot migrate historical engagement activity records (logged calls, email opens, meeting completions) because the platform does not persist them as queryable objects. We surface this gap in the pre-migration data audit and note it in the reconciliation report. Any activity-style data in Omni (for example, response timestamps) migrates as metadata on the Contact or Script record rather than as a standalone Activity.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and schema audit
We audit the Omni account across scripts, target accounts, case studies, response volume, workbook field schemas, and active users. We enumerate all custom fields via the Omni model IDE, categorize field types (text, number, duration, calculated, nested), and identify any records without a script association that may produce orphaned contact candidates. We pair this with a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales edition review (Professional at $65/user covers most migrations; Enterprise at $105/user if custom entities or advanced workflow are required) and confirm the customer's choice of Script and Case Study migration strategy (Notes versus custom entity versus SharePoint). The discovery output is a written scope and migration plan.
Contact layer reconstruction design
We design the contact reconstruction logic before any data extracts. The algorithm groups Omni Responses by unique email address, deduplicates on email plus name, and creates one Dynamics Contact per unique contact identity. Each Contact receives a link to the Target Account (Account) that the Response references. Contacts without an associated Target Account are flagged in a separate reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to resolve manually. We document the reconstruction logic in the migration spec and share it with the customer for review before running any data extracts.
Custom field mapping and Dynamics schema setup
We map every Omni custom workbook field to a typed Dynamics field (text, integer, decimal, picklist, datetime, duration). Duration fields from Omni convert to integer fields representing seconds or minutes per the customer's convention. Calculated fields map to computed columns or plugin logic that the customer's Dynamics developer implements post-migration. We pre-create any custom entity needed for Scripts or Case Studies in the destination Dynamics Sandbox before test migration begins. Custom fields are deployed via the Dynamics metadata API or manually in the target org.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Dynamics 365 Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Accounts in, Contacts in, Notes in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Omni source, and reviews the Script and Case Study migration format. The customer signs off on the custom field map, the contact reconstruction logic, and the Script/Case Study storage choice before production migration begins. Any corrections to the mapping spec happen in the Sandbox, not in production.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts first (from Omni Target Accounts), Contacts next (reconstructed from Responses with AccountId resolved), Scripts and Case Studies as Notes or custom entity records (with the storage format locked from Sandbox sign-off), Custom Workbook Fields applied to the relevant entities, and Users validated against the Dynamics User table. We apply exponential backoff against Omni's API rate limit throughout. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze Omni writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Dynamics 365 as the system of record. We deliver the Automatic Pausing Rules inventory document with Power Automate Flow rebuild recommendations to the customer's admin. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues surfaced by the sales team. We do not rebuild Omni automations as Dynamics workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
