Overview
Moving from Ploomes CRM to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is an upgrade from a Brazilian-focused mid-market CRM to an enterprise sales platform deeply integrated with Microsoft 365. The primary migration challenge is mapping Ploomes' flat Contact model with lifecycle stage to Dynamics 365's Lead-Contact-Account hierarchy, and preserving Brazilian CNPJ and CPF identification fields as validated custom fields on Account and Contact records. We sequence migrations to handle Ploomes' 300-item API pagination cap, resolve owner-to-User lookups by email, and load engagement history through Dynamics 365's Bulk API. We do not migrate Ploomes Workflows, proposal templates, or quote version history as these are not accessible via the Ploomes public API; we deliver a written inventory of active workflows for your admin to rebuild in Dynamics 365 Flow.
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 Ploomes CRM 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.
Ploomes CRM
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead or Contact (split required)
1:manyPloomes Contact records with lifecycle stage before sales qualified lead map to Dynamics 365 Lead. Lifecycle stage at sales qualified lead or beyond maps to Dynamics 365 Contact tied to an Account. We compute the split using Ploomes' lifecyclestage property at migration time and preserve the original value in a custom field ploomes_lifecycle__c on both Lead and Contact for audit and reporting continuity. Owner assignment from Ploomes resolves to Dynamics 365 OwnerId via User email match.
Ploomes CRM
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Ploomes Company maps to Dynamics 365 Account. CNPJ and CPF identification fields from Ploomes migrate as custom fields cnpj__c and cpf__c on Account, with validation rules applied to enforce Brazilian format (CNPJ: 14 digits, CPF: 11 digits). Account Name and Website map directly; the Company-Contact associations are preserved through the Contact split phase via the parent Account lookup.
Ploomes CRM
Deal
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Ploomes Deal maps to Dynamics 365 Opportunity. Deal value, close date, owner assignment, and custom deal properties migrate directly. The Ploomes pipeline maps to a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Process and Record Type configured before migration. Stage probabilities migrate to StageProbability values. Lost deal reason custom properties become a Loss Reason field on Opportunity.
Ploomes CRM
Pipeline Stage
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Sales Process + Stage
lossyPloomes pipeline stages migrate as Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Process stages with matching probability values. Each stage's order and SLA properties map to the corresponding stage in the configured Sales Process. Stage assignment on Deals is preserved via the Opportunity stage relationship. Custom stage colors and labels are documented as metadata for admin reconstruction.
Ploomes CRM
Product
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Product2
1:1Ploomes Products with Groups and Parts hierarchy map to Dynamics 365 Product2 records. The product hierarchy is preserved using the Family field for grouping and Description for parts details. ProductCode maps from Ploomes' sku property. Custom product properties migrate as custom fields on Product2. Standard Price Book entries are created during migration.
Ploomes CRM
Quote
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Quote
1:1Ploomes Quote records migrate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Quote, preserving header totals, approval status, and line items with pricing. Quote is a standard Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales object available from Professional tier. Quote PDFs generated in Ploomes migrate as file attachments to the Quote record. Note that Ploomes Quote version history is not accessible via the public API; only current Quote state migrates.
Ploomes CRM
Task
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task
1:1Ploomes Tasks migrate to Dynamics 365 Task records. Task title, due date, owner, completion status, and task type all map directly. Owner resolution uses email-based matching against the Dynamics 365 User table. Large task datasets are chunked to handle Ploomes' 300-item pagination cap per request, with cursor-based iteration across all pages.
Ploomes CRM
Engagement: Call, Email, Meeting, Note
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task (Call), EmailMessage + Task, Event, Note
1:1Ploomes engagement records (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrate to their Dynamics 365 equivalents: calls to Task with TaskSubtype=Call, emails to EmailMessage linked to an Activity Task, meetings to Event with start and end times preserved, and notes to Note records. Activity timestamps are preserved as ActivityDate. Attachments linked to engagements migrate as ContentDocument records linked to the parent activity.
Ploomes CRM
Tag
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Multi-Select Picklist
lossyPloomes Tags are a flat tagging system applied across Contacts, Deals, and Companies. Tags migrate as multi-select picklist values on the relevant Contact, Opportunity, and Account records in Dynamics 365. We preserve all tag names and their associations during migration. If the customer has a large or redundant tag vocabulary, we recommend tag consolidation strategy during scoping.
Ploomes CRM
Custom Field
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field
lossyPloomes Custom Fields created via POST /Fields migrate to Dynamics 365 custom fields. We capture the Ploomes API Key, field type, and target object for each custom field, then provision the equivalent custom field in Dynamics 365 with matching type and add it to the appropriate forms. Field values are migrated with the parent record. Validation rules defined in Dynamics 365 are applied post-load.

Ploomes CRM gotchas
API pagination limit of 300 records per request
User-Key auth requires admin-level access
Workflow automations are not exported via public API
Quote version history is not programmatically accessible
Modular pricing means actual cost depends on selected add-ons
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales gotchas
Professional tier 15-table custom table limit blocks migrations
October 2024 pricing increase applies at renewal for all customers
Custom fields must be created in the UI before API writes
Power Platform request limits apply to bulk migrations
Activity records orphaned to inactive owners fail silently
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and schema mapping
We audit the source Ploomes account across all objects including Contacts, Companies, Deals, Quotes, Products, Tasks, Tags, Custom Fields, and active Workflows. We identify the lifecycle stage matrix used for the Contact split, count total records per object (accounting for the 300-item pagination cap), document all custom field definitions and their API Key properties, and flag CNPJ/CPF fields on Companies and Contacts. For Dynamics 365, we recommend an edition (Professional at $65/user or Enterprise at $105/user), provision the custom entity schema in a Sandbox including CNPJ/CPF custom fields with validation rules, and configure the Sales Process and Record Type to match the Ploomes pipeline structure.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Dynamics 365 Sandbox using representative production data volumes. The customer reconciles record counts across all objects (Accounts in, Contacts in, Leads in, Opportunities in, Quotes in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 records for field-level accuracy against the Ploomes source, and reviews the CNPJ/CPF validation behavior on sample Account records. Any mapping corrections happen in Sandbox before production migration begins. The customer signs off on the schema and mapping before we proceed to production.
Owner and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Ploomes owner referenced on Contact, Company, Deal, and Engagement records and match by email against the Dynamics 365 User table. Any owner without a matching Dynamics 365 User is queued for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. OwnerId references are required on most standard Dynamics 365 objects, so this step gates all subsequent phases. We confirm the migration user has sufficient permissions (Bulk API, Create/Update on all target entities) before proceeding.
Production migration in dependency order
We run the production migration in dependency order: Accounts (from Ploomes Companies, with CNPJ/CPF fields), Users (validated against provisioning queue), Contacts and Leads (with lifecycle split applied), Opportunities (with RecordTypeId and SalesProcessId resolved), Products and Pricebook entries, Quote headers and line items, Tasks, Engagement history (calls, emails, meetings, notes via Bulk API 2.0), Tags as multi-select picklist values, and Custom Field values on all parent records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We apply rate limiting and exponential backoff on Dynamics 365 API calls to avoid throttling.
Cutover, validation, and Workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Ploomes writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Dynamics 365 as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team for manual rebuild in Dynamics 365 Flow. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. We do not rebuild Ploomes Workflows as Dynamics 365 Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or internal admin task.
