Overview
Paradym is an identity-credentialing platform centred on SD-JWT VC credential templates, presentation templates, and verifiable credential issuance. Its REST API exposes credential records with nested person and address attribute objects, issuance metadata, and revocation status — a fundamentally different data model from a CRM. Dynamics 365 Sales stores all records in Dataverse and supports unlimited custom tables, making it the destination-side home for Paradym credential data. FlitStack AI sequences the migration in four phases: API assessment and scoping, custom table creation in Dynamics 365, batch extraction and transformation from Paradym respecting the 200 requests per 10-second rate limit, and a delta-pickup window during cutover to capture any credentials issued between the initial export and go-live. Workflows and sequences do not migrate — their definitions must be rebuilt as Power Automate flows. Reports, dashboards, and third-party integrations are excluded from the data migration by design.
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 Paradym 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.
Paradym
CredentialTemplate
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table: CredentialTemplate__c
1:1Paradym credential templates map to a custom Dataverse table mirroring the template schema: templateId, templateName, credentialType, schemaDefinition, sdJwtConfig, and createdDate fields are all created as custom columns in Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise.
Paradym
Credential
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table: Credential__c
1:1Each Paradym credential record — including credentialId, status, issueDate, expiryDate, rawSDJWTToken, revocationStatus, issuer, and relatedPerson — maps to a dedicated custom table row in Dataverse. The raw token is stored as a long-text reference field for full traceability.
Paradym
Credential.nestedAttributes.person
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table: Credential__c (flattened person fields)
1:1Paradym's nested person attribute object (firstName, lastName, email, phone) is flattened into individual custom text fields on the Credential__c table rather than stored as JSON, enabling CRM-standard reporting and filtering on holder identity fields.
Paradym
Credential.nestedAttributes.address
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table: Credential__c (flattened address fields)
1:1Paradym nested address attributes (street, city, state, postalCode, country) are extracted as separate custom text columns on Credential__c. This avoids serialising address as JSON, which would prevent Dynamics 365 Sales list views and workflow triggers on address components.
Paradym
Credential.templateReference
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Credential__c.templateReference__c (lookup)
1:1The Paradym template reference linking a credential to its issuing template becomes a Dataverse lookup field pointing to the CredentialTemplate__c custom table. This maintains the template-to-credential parent-child relationship in Dynamics 365 Sales.
Paradym
Credential.credentialStatus
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Credential__c.credentialStatus__c (custom option set)
1:1Paradym credential status values (active, revoked, expired, pending) map to a custom Dataverse option set on Credential__c. Option set values are configured identically to the source values to avoid status mismatch after migration.
Paradym
PresentationTemplate
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table: PresentationTemplate__c
1:1Paradym presentation template records — containing templateId, templateName, disclosureRequirements, and presentationPolicy — migrate as a separate custom Dataverse table. Each row links back to the CredentialTemplate__c that defines which credentials the presentation requests.
Paradym
Presentation
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Table: Presentation__c
1:1Presentation records from Paradym, capturing holder, requestedCredentialIds, verificationResult, and timestamps, migrate to a Presentation__c custom table in Dynamics 365 Sales. The table includes lookup fields to both Credential__c and Contact records representing the presentation holder.
Paradym
Credential.relatedPerson
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Credential__c.relatedPersonId__c (lookup to Contact)
1:1Paradym credentials that reference a person entity create a lookup from Credential__c to the corresponding Contact record in Dynamics 365 Sales, linking credential holders to their CRM contact profile for unified reporting.
Paradym
Credential.revocationRegistryReference
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Credential__c.revocationRegistryRef__c (custom text)
1:1The Paradym revocation registry URL or reference stored on the credential migrates as a custom text field on Credential__c. This field is available for manual status checks but does not trigger automated revocation workflows — those require Power Automate rebuild.
Paradym
Credential.customFields
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Credential__c (dynamic attribute columns)
1:1Paradym per-credential custom attribute fields are read from the API and created as individual custom columns on Credential__c at migration time. If a custom attribute name collides with a reserved Dataverse field name, an underscore suffix is appended.
Paradym
Paradym system metadata (createdAt, updatedAt, sourceDeskId)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Credential__c.originalCreatedAt__c, originalUpdatedAt__c, sourceDeskId__c
1:1Paradym system timestamps and desk identifiers are preserved as custom fields on Credential__c to support historical auditing and deduplication. Dynamics 365 Sales native CreatedOn and ModifiedOn fields retain the migration execution timestamp.

Migration approach
Assess Paradym API export capabilities and document the credential schema
FlitStack AI runs a targeted API probe against your Paradym environment — hitting the credential list, template list, and presentation endpoints — to capture actual response shapes, pagination behaviour, nested attribute depth, and field names. We confirm the 200 requests per 10-second rate limit response headers and identify any custom attributes your team has added to credential templates. The output is a Credential Schema Report that drives the Dataverse custom-table design in Step 2.
Design and provision custom tables in Dynamics 365 Sales
Using the Credential Schema Report, FlitStack AI generates a Dataverse custom-table design for your Dynamics 365 Sales environment: CredentialTemplate__c, Credential__c, PresentationTemplate__c, and Presentation__c tables with all custom columns, option sets for status fields, and lookup relationships between tables. We deliver a setup checklist so your Dynamics admin can provision the tables (or we do it via the Dataverse Web API). All table names follow the __c suffix convention and use the original Paradym field names as labels.
Extract credential data from Paradym in rate-limit-aware batches
FlitStack AI pulls credential records from Paradym using the REST API with polite backoff against the 200 requests per 10-second limit. Each extraction batch is logged with a cursor or page token so the run can resume from the last checkpoint if interrupted. Nested attributes are flattened per the transformation map generated in scoping. The extraction run stores raw API responses in a staging area for validation before any writes to Dynamics 365. Unresolved holder email addresses are flagged for manual Contact matching in Step 4.
Transform, validate, and load into Dataverse custom tables
Each batch of extracted Paradym records is validated against the expected schema — checking for missing required fields, invalid date formats, and nested attribute completeness. Credential status values are mapped to the Dataverse option set, raw SD-JWT tokens are stored in rawToken__c, and original timestamps are preserved in custom datetime fields. FlitStack AI uses the Dynamics 365 Web API (Dataverse) for all writes. A field-level diff report is generated per batch showing source value versus destination field for every mapped column.
Reconcile record counts and resolve unmatched holder contacts
FlitStack AI compares Paradym credential counts by status (active, revoked, expired) and by credential type against the Dynamics 365 custom table row counts. Any records that failed validation are surfaced in an exception report with the source payload and failure reason. Holder email addresses that did not resolve to existing Dynamics 365 Contacts are presented for manual matching — your team can choose to create new Contact records or accept unmatched holders as text fields on Credential__c.
Cut over with delta-pickup and post-migration verification
A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any new credentials issued in Paradym between the final extraction batch and the Dynamics 365 go-live moment. FlitStack AI runs a second extraction pass filtered to updatedAt timestamps after the cutoff and writes the delta to Dataverse. An audit log records every insert operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation uncovers unexpected discrepancies. Presentation history is verified by spot-checking a sample of Presentation__c records against Paradym's original response payloads.
