Overview
Moving from Promio to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a structural migration from a managed-service local marketing platform to a full CRM with standard objects, API access, and an enterprise-grade data model. Promio has no public API, so every migration begins with a formal data export request submitted on the customer's behalf; we validate completeness before transformation begins. We map Promio Leads and Customers to Dynamics 365 Contacts and Accounts, preserve lifecycle segmentation labels (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost) as custom Contact fields, and migrate campaign names with associated budget and performance history. Call recordings, landing pages, and linked ad account credentials do not migrate automatically; we deliver a pre-flight checklist for call recording download and a documented rebuild requirements list for landing pages and Google/Bing ad campaigns. Workflows, automated drip sequences, and marketing automation do not migrate as code because Promio's managed-service automation model has no direct equivalent in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales .
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Promio 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.
Promio
Lead
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1Promio Lead records with source attribution, call-tracking metadata, and campaign reference migrate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Lead. The Promio lead source field maps to LeadSource. Call duration and disposition data migrate to custom Lead fields we pre-create in the destination org. Any Promio Lead without sufficient qualification data (name, email, company) is flagged in the reconciliation report for the customer's admin to review before final import.
Promio
Customer
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact and Account (split required)
1:manyPromio Customers are person records (contacts) linked to a business entity. We split each Promio Customer into a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Account (business) and Contact (person), using the Promio Customer's company association as the Account name. Lifecycle segmentation labels (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost) migrate as a custom multi-select picklist or text field on Contact so the customer retains segmentation intelligence. Customer-level reputation and review scores from Promio migrate as custom Contact fields linked to the review source URL.
Promio
Campaign
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Campaign
1:1Promio Campaigns (Google Ads, Bing Ads, Display) with associated ad budgets, performance metrics, and campaign structure migrate to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Campaign. Campaign name and status map directly. Promio's bundled spend data migrates as custom numeric fields on Campaign (e.g., promio_budget_spent__c) since Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales does not have a native ad spend field. We note that Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Campaign tracks marketing campaign effectiveness against CRM records but does not replace Google Ads or Bing Ads campaign management directly.
Promio
Custom Properties
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Fields on Contact and Lead
lossyPromio's custom fields on Leads and Customers are not publicly documented; we discover them during the extraction phase by inspecting exported CSV headers. Each discovered custom property becomes a corresponding custom field on the appropriate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales object (Contact or Lead) with a type-mapped Salesforce field type. Field naming follows Promio's label converted to a valid API name with a promio_ prefix for traceability. Custom fields added after the initial export date require a second export run; we schedule the final export as close to cutover as possible.
Promio
Advertising Accounts
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Documentation Only
1:1Google Ads and Bing Ads account credentials linked through Promio's managed-service layer do not transfer automatically. We inventory the current campaign structure, budget allocations, performance history, and audience targeting from Promio exports and deliver a documented rebuild requirements list so the customer's team can re-grant ad account access and reconstruct campaigns in Google Ads and Bing directly. This is explicitly out of scope for CRM migration.
Promio
Reputation / Reviews
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Fields on Contact
1:1Promio aggregates review monitoring data from third-party sites (ratings, review site links, reputation scores) into its dashboard. We extract aggregated scores and review site URLs as custom fields on the corresponding Contact record in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . No review site API integration migrates automatically; the customer configures any new reputation monitoring tool separately post-migration.
Promio
Call Recordings
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Not Migrated
1:1Promio stores call recording audio files on its own infrastructure and does not include them in standard CSV exports. We cannot migrate these. As a pre-flight checklist item, we instruct the customer to download all required call recordings directly from Promio's interface before the migration cutover date. Call recording links in Promio's data export are preserved as a text field on the Contact record for reference, but the audio files themselves must be downloaded and hosted independently.
Promio
Landing Pages
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Rebuild Requirements List
1:1Promio generates custom landing pages on promio.com subdomains; these are not exportable as HTML or redirect-configurable assets. We inventory all active landing pages during scoping, capture URL patterns, form field names, and submission targets, and deliver a page-by-page rebuild requirements list as a migration artifact. The customer's team rebuilds landing pages in Dynamics 365 portals, Power Apps, or their own website post-migration.

Migration approach
Export negotiation and scoping
We submit a formal data export request to Promio on the customer's behalf and specify the data scope: all Leads, Customers (with lifecycle segmentation), Campaigns (with budget and performance history), custom properties, call recording metadata, and landing page URLs. We validate the received files against a row-count checklist before accepting them as the migration source. Any gaps trigger a follow-up export request. We also deliver a call recording download guide to the customer with a deadline before cutover.
Schema discovery and destination design
We inspect the exported CSV headers to discover all Promio custom fields, map them to appropriate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales objects (Contact, Lead, Campaign), and design the destination custom field schema with type-mapped Salesforce field types and promio_ API name prefixes. We design Account and Contact split rules based on the Promio Customer's company association. Lifecycle segmentation labels (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost) are pre-created as custom Contact fields. Schema is deployed to a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Sandbox for validation before production migration.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Leads in, Contacts in, Accounts in, Campaigns in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Promio source, and validates that lifecycle segmentation labels and custom fields populated correctly. Any mapping corrections happen in the Sandbox, not in production.
Data cleansing and transformation
We apply cleansing rules to the Promio export: date format standardization to YYYY-MM-DD, special character normalization in name fields, duplicate detection and merge flagging, and encoding normalization for non-ASCII characters. Lifecycle segmentation labels are mapped to the custom Contact field values. Promio campaign budget data is mapped to custom Campaign numeric fields. Deduplication rules are applied before insert to avoid creating duplicate Contact records in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales .
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Promio company associations), Contacts (with AccountId resolved and lifecycle segmentation preserved), Leads (with source attribution and call metadata as custom fields), Campaigns (with performance history as custom fields). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Bulk API for large record sets with chunking and exponential backoff on API limit responses.
Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff
We freeze Promio 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 landing page rebuild requirements list and the ad campaign documentation to the customer's team. We deliver the Workflow and Sequence inventory document noting that Promio automated campaigns and drip sequences do not have a direct Dynamics 365 equivalent and must be rebuilt as Salesforce Flow or Power Automate. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues.
