Overview
Teams migrate from Real Properties to Dynamics 365 Sales to gain access to the broader Microsoft ecosystem, more powerful customization under Sales Enterprise, and AI capabilities like Microsoft Copilot for sales intelligence. The migration carries everything Real Properties stores natively — contacts, accounts, opportunities, activities, and property listing data — into Dynamics 365's Dataverse-backed data model. The primary challenges are mapping property-specific fields (listing status, square footage, property type) to appropriate Dynamics 365 opportunity fields or custom fields, preserving original timestamps despite Dataverse system-date constraints, and rebuilding any workflow automations in Dynamics 365's Power Automate or classic workflow designer. FlitStack AI uses the Dynamics 365 Web API and bulk export endpoints to extract source data, applies transformation rules per field mapping, and loads into your target environment with a delta-pickup window capturing in-flight changes during cutover. Reports, dashboards, and third-party integrations require manual rebuild in Dynamics 365. The migration also addresses owner identity resolution by matching Real Properties owner emails to Dynamics 365 SystemUser records, ensuring every migrated record has a valid OwnerId assignment and preventing orphaned records in the destination environment.
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 Real Properties 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.
Real Properties
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Direct 1:1 map. Dynamics 365 Contact records receive all Real Properties contact fields including name, email, phone, and address. Owner resolution matches Real Properties owner email to Dynamics 365 user email for OwnerId assignment. Contacts without a primary company link to a default 'Unassigned Account' record.
Real Properties
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Direct 1:1 map. Real Properties company records become Dynamics 365 Accounts with all standard fields (name, address, industry, website). Parent-company hierarchies in Real Properties map to Account.ParentAccountId. Multi-contact companies collapse to one primary AccountId with additional contacts linked via Account Contact Relationships.
Real Properties
Property Listing
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity (custom fields)
1:1Real Properties listing data has no direct Dynamics 365 equivalent — property address, listing price, square footage, and listing status map to Opportunity with custom fields (Listing_Status__c, Square_Footage__c, Property_Type__c). Listing history timestamps become custom datetime fields for reporting continuity. Each property attribute requires a corresponding custom field on the Opportunity table, and the custom field manifest delivered during discovery specifies which fields your admin must pre-create.
Real Properties
Listing Status
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom OptionSet on Opportunity
1:1Real Properties listing status values (Active, Pending, Sold, Withdrawn) map to a custom OptionSet field on Opportunity. Each status value requires explicit mapping to the corresponding Dynamics 365 picklist value. Probability and forecast category re-applied per status value to ensure pipeline reporting reflects the original Real Properties sales stage definitions accurately.
Real Properties
Transaction / Deal
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Real Properties transaction records map directly to Dynamics 365 Opportunities. Transaction amount becomes Opportunity.Amount, expected close date becomes CloseDate, and transaction owner maps to OwnerId via email resolution. Sales process stages map to Opportunity StageName values with value-by-value translation for accurate pipeline representation in the destination system.
Real Properties
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task / Activity (Dataverse)
1:1Real Properties engagement records — calls, emails, meetings — map to Dynamics 365 Activities. Original timestamps, owners, and parent-record links (ContactId, regarding ObjectId) are preserved throughout the migration. Meeting duration and location fields map to corresponding Activity fields ensuring complete engagement history transfer.
Real Properties
Note / Attachment
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Annotation (Notes)
1:1Real Properties notes and listing attachments migrate as Dataverse Annotations. File attachments are downloaded and re-uploaded to Dynamics 365 / Dataverse; inline images in notes are extracted and rehosted as annotation file attachments. The 25MB per-file limit applies to each annotation record created in the destination environment.
Real Properties
Custom Field (Listing-Specific)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field on Opportunity
1:1Real Properties custom fields on listings — such as HOA fees, lot size, year built, MLS number — require new custom fields on the Opportunity table in Dynamics 365. We deliver a custom field creation manifest before migration so your admin can pre-create fields in the target environment.
Real Properties
Owner / User
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SystemUser (Owner lookup)
1:1Real Properties owner records resolve to Dynamics 365 SystemUser by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either provisions Dynamics 365 users or assigns their records to a fallback owner. No record lands in Dynamics 365 without a resolved OwnerId.
Real Properties
Workflow / Automation
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power Automate / Classic Workflow
1:1Real Properties workflows, sequences, and automation rules do not migrate automatically — they require complete manual rebuild in Dynamics 365 using Power Automate or the classic workflow designer. Since workflow logic lives in proprietary Real Properties rule definitions, FlitStack exports workflow definitions as a structured reference document for your Dynamics 365 admin to use as a specification guide when rebuilding automations in the destination environment.

Migration approach
Assess Real Properties data export capabilities and rate limits
FlitStack connects to the Real Properties API to enumerate available objects, custom fields, and attachment endpoints. We identify which objects support bulk export versus requiring paginated API calls, map rate limit constraints to our batch sizing strategy, and inventory all property-specific custom fields for custom field creation in Dynamics 365. The output is a data inventory report and a custom field manifest for your Dynamics 365 admin to pre-create before migration data lands.
Pre-create Dynamics 365 custom fields and OptionSets
Based on the Real Properties data inventory, FlitStack delivers a custom field creation manifest specifying every custom field name, data type, and OptionSet value needed in Dynamics 365 Sales. Your admin (or our team) creates these fields on the Opportunity, Contact, and Account tables in the target environment before migration data is loaded. If you hold Sales Professional licensing, we flag how many Opportunity custom fields your property schema requires against the 15-table ceiling.
Resolve owner and user identity by email
Real Properties owner IDs resolve to Dynamics 365 SystemUser records by email address match. FlitStack generates an owner resolution report listing every unique owner email in the source data and its match status against your Dynamics 365 user list. Unmatched owners require user provisioning in Dynamics 365 or assignment to a fallback owner. No record commits to the destination without a resolved OwnerId — this prevents orphaned records with blank ownership.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records — covering contacts, accounts, property listings, transactions, and a few activities — migrates first against your Dynamics 365 environment. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination field values for every mapped field. You verify that listing status value mappings, custom field population, owner resolution, and attachment references match expectations before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset loads into Dynamics 365 using batched API calls with throttling and retry logic. After initial load completes, a delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Real Properties during the cutover period. FlitStack generates a reconciliation report comparing record counts, custom field totals, and attachment references between source and destination. Audit logging captures every operation, and one-click rollback reverts the destination to pre-migration state if reconciliation fails.
