Overview
Moving from Plezi to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a structural migration that restructures a marketing-automation-centric data model into a sales-relationship model. Plezi organizes around Contacts with behavioral scoring profiles, Companies, Campaigns, and Smart Campaigns; Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales organizes around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities with pipeline-stage tracking. We preserve Plezi's contact scoring values and lifecycle stages as custom fields on the corresponding Dynamics records, resolve the Account-to-Company parent lookup at import time, and reconstruct Smart Campaign automation logic from the Plezi export into a written workflow inventory that the customer's admin rebuilds in Dynamics Sales or Power Automate. Landing pages and embedded third-party widgets do not migrate; we document each page's components for manual recreation. Workflows, Smart Campaigns, and Forms require manual rebuild post-migration; we deliver the complete inventory and mapping as part of the handoff package.
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 Plezi 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.
Plezi
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead or Contact (split on lifecycle status)
1:manyPlezi Contacts with a lifecycle stage of early-stage prospect (subscriber, marketing qualified) map to Salesforce Lead for follow-up by sales. Plezi Contacts with a sales-qualified or customer lifecycle stage map to Salesforce Contact attached to an Account. We run the split transform during migration using Plezi's lifecycle stage property and preserve the original value in a custom field plezi_lifecycle_stage__c on both Lead and Contact for reporting continuity.
Plezi
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Plezi Company records map directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Account. The company domain becomes the Account Website field and serves as the deduplication key during import. Account records must be created before Contact import so that the AccountId lookup is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert.
Plezi
Campaign
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Campaign
1:1Plezi Campaigns (individual marketing initiatives with associated costs, channels, and dates) map to Dynamics 365 Campaign. Campaign type, start and end dates, and budget fields migrate directly. Campaign Member associations from Plezi Contacts map to Campaign Members in Dynamics with Status mapped to a customer-defined response code.
Plezi
Smart Campaign
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Workflow documentation (manual rebuild in Sales or Power Automate)
1:1Plezi Smart Campaigns store trigger-action logic in a platform-specific format that cannot be exported as executable automation. We reconstruct each Smart Campaign's intent from the source export by documenting trigger events, conditional rules, action sequences, and delay steps. The customer receives a written workflow inventory with recommended Dynamics Sales automation or Power Automate equivalents and rebuilds them post-migration.
Plezi
Workflow
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power Automate or Sales automation (manual rebuild)
1:1Plezi multi-step nurture sequences export as step sequences and content block references but not as runnable packages. We preserve the step order and associated content block HTML/text for the customer's admin to reference when rebuilding in Power Automate. Dynamic content personalization steps that cannot be auto-reproduced are flagged in the handoff inventory.
Plezi
Form
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Web-to-Lead or Dynamics Form (manual rebuild)
1:1Plezi Forms with field names, required flags, and target pipeline stage assignments migrate as a field inventory. Form field names and types map to equivalent Dynamics fields. The form itself (hosting, styling, logic) does not migrate; we recommend Dynamics Web-to-Lead or a Power Pages form as the replacement and document the field mapping to speed up reconstruction.
Plezi
Landing Page
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Documentation only (manual rebuild)
1:1Plezi Landing Pages export as page title, URL slug, and form reference associations. Pages with embedded third-party widgets (webinar iframes, live chat scripts, custom JavaScript) cannot be extracted during export. We document each landing page's embedded components during the audit phase, flag which pages require manual recreation versus automated rebuild, and deliver a full URL mapping so the customer's web team can plan redirects.
Plezi
Engagement: Email, Call, Meeting, Task
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
EmailMessage, Task (subtype Call), Event, Task
1:1Plezi engagement records (email, call, meeting, task) migrate to the corresponding Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales activity objects. Emails land as EmailMessage records with body and subject preserved, linked to a Task for the activity timeline. Calls land as Task with TaskSubtype=Call and duration preserved. Meetings land as Event with start and end times preserved. Activity ordering is maintained by setting ActivityDate to the original Plezi timestamp.
Plezi
Marketing Asset (emails, content blocks)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
ContentDocument or SharePoint
1:1Plezi email and content block HTML/text exports as raw content. We carry over the HTML body and subject line. Inline images may require re-hosting at the destination if the URLs are not publicly accessible. Content blocks used inside Smart Campaigns are documented with their associated workflows for the customer's admin to reassemble in Power Automate or Dynamics email templates.
Plezi
User (team members)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User
1:1Plezi User accounts (name, email, role) export for mapping to Dynamics 365 User records. Plezi-specific role names require manual review against the Dynamics security model. We resolve users by email match and hold any unmatched owners in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.
Plezi
Tag
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Multi-Select Picklist or Topic
lossyPlezi Contact tags migrate as a custom field on Lead and Contact. Tags used for segmentation map to either a multi-select picklist field or Dynamics Topics with TopicAssignment records depending on the customer's preferred taxonomy. The strategy is chosen during scoping.

Activity records orphaned to inactive owners fail silently
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export coordination
We audit the Plezi instance across Contacts, Companies, Campaigns, Smart Campaigns, Workflows, Forms, Landing Pages, and engagement volume. We initiate export using Plezi's native export tooling or coordinated bulk export request, and assess which objects can be extracted directly versus which require Plezi customer success team coordination. We pair this with a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales edition decision: Sales Professional ($65/user) covers most migrations with no custom objects; Sales Enterprise ($105/user) is required for advanced AI features, Sales Insights, or custom sales process configurations. The discovery output is a written migration scope with an export plan and Dynamics edition recommendation.
Smart Campaign and Workflow intent reconstruction
We analyze every active Smart Campaign and Workflow in Plezi and reconstruct the automation intent from the export. For each campaign we document the trigger event, conditional rules, action steps, delay sequences, and content block references. We flag any dynamic personalization steps that cannot be auto-reproduced in Dynamics. The output is a written workflow inventory delivered to the customer's admin before migration day, so that rebuilding can proceed in parallel if the customer's team has the capacity.
Landing page and form component audit
We audit every Plezi landing page for embedded third-party widgets, custom scripts, and form associations. We produce a landing page inventory listing each page's title, URL slug, embedded component types, and recommended rebuild approach (manual recreation, template-based rebuild, or external tool replacement). Form fields and pipeline stage assignments are extracted as a field mapping document for the customer's admin to use when rebuilding forms in Dynamics Web-to-Lead or Power Pages.
Sandbox migration and data quality review
We run a full migration into a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Accounts from Companies, Leads and Contacts from Contacts, Campaigns, Opportunities), spot-checks 25-50 records against the Plezi source, and validates field mappings for lifecycle stage, scoring, and custom properties. Any mapping corrections and data quality issues (duplicates, incomplete records, mismatched lifecycle stages) are addressed in this phase. Schema corrections happen here, not in production.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Plezi user referenced on Contact, Company, and Engagement records and match by email against the Dynamics 365 destination org's User table. Unmatched owners go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Dynamics admin provisions any missing users before record import resumes. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard objects.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Plezi Companies), Leads and Contacts (with the lifecycle-stage split applied and plezi_lifecycle_stage__c preserved), Campaigns, Opportunities, Activity history (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages via Dynamics 365 API with batch chunking and rate-limit handling), and Custom Objects last. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We flag any records that fail validation rules and route them to a correction queue.
Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Plezi writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as the system of record. We deliver the Smart Campaign and Workflow inventory document, the landing page and form component audit, and the field mapping spreadsheet. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Smart Campaigns or Workflows as Dynamics automations inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
