Overview

What this migration involves

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.

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.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Omni.us logo

Omni.us

What's pushing teams away

  • The platform's narrow feature set—Scripts and Responses—becomes limiting as teams grow and need deeper CRM capabilities beyond sequence management.
  • Limited integrations with popular CRM platforms creates data silos that frustrate teams expecting bidirectional sync with tools already in their stack.
  • Single-tier pricing at $49/month offers no room to scale seat counts or feature access for growing teams without switching platforms entirely.
  • Absence of a free trial or freemium tier forces a commitment decision before teams can validate fit with their specific outreach workflows.

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 Omni.us objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

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

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Omni 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)

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:many
Fully supported

Omni 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

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Note or Custom Entity

1:1
Fully supported

Omni 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

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Note or SharePoint Document

1:1
Mapping required

Omni 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

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Power Automate Flow or Dynamics Workflow

lossy
Mapping required

Omni 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

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Fields on Account/Contact/Note

lossy
Mapping required

Omni'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

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

User

1:1
Mapping required

Omni 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

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task / Event

1:1
Fully supported

Omni 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

  • Omni has no native Contacts object

    Omni stores responses tied to scripts and accounts but does not persist contacts as standalone objects. When migrating to Dynamics 365, we must reconstruct the contact layer by grouping Responses by email address, creating one Contact per unique address, and linking to the associated Account. Responses not associated with a script or account (for example, raw contact imports without engagement history) may surface gaps that require a data enrichment pass or manual cleanup before the migration completes. We run a reconciliation query post-migration to identify orphaned contact records and surface them before cutover.

  • Omni 60 req/min API rate limit extends bulk migration timelines

    Omni's API enforces a hard 60 requests per minute limit per API key. For migrations with thousands of scripts, accounts, or responses, this creates significant throttling overhead. We implement exponential backoff retry logic and distribute writes across multiple API keys where available. Datasets exceeding 50,000 records extend migration timelines proportionally—we flag this during scoping so that cutover schedules account for API-driven delays.

  • Scripts and Case Studies have no native Dynamics equivalent

    Omni Scripts and Case Studies are content-centric objects with no direct Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales counterpart. We map Scripts to Notes or a custom Script entity and Case Studies to Notes or SharePoint documents, but these decisions affect how sales reps access outreach content in Dynamics. We present both options during scoping and require the customer's sign-off before writing any records. Scripts with complex branching logic require additional documentation during the inventory phase so the customer understands the gap between Omni's visual sequence builder and Dynamics' linear Note model.

  • Automatic Pausing Rules do not migrate as active workflows

    Omni's Automatic Pausing rules trigger when prospect actions pause a sequence. These are not exported as executable automation in Dynamics because the workflow models are incompatible. We deliver a written inventory of every Automatic Pausing rule with its conditions and actions mapped to Power Automate Flow equivalents. The customer's admin rebuilds the automation post-migration. We flag this gap explicitly in the pre-migration scope document and recommend scheduling the Power Automate rebuild during the UAT phase.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Omni.us to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales data migration

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 10,000 Target Accounts, 500 Scripts, and 5,000 Responses with no complex workbook field schemas. Migrations exceeding these volumes, involving custom workbook fields with Duration or calculated types, or requiring a custom Script entity in Dynamics extend to six to ten weeks because of schema discovery, custom field type mapping, and the contact reconstruction logic validation. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales implementation for a CRM-only scope (without ERP integration) typically adds two to four weeks for configuration and user acceptance testing outside the data migration window.
