Overview
Realvolve structures its CRM around People (contacts and organizations), Transactions (deals), and Workflows (automated sequences). It is a purpose-built real estate CRM with native transaction management, document checklists, and MLS integration. Dynamics 365 Sales uses the Accounts-Contacts model, separates Leads from Opportunities, and stores transaction data as Opportunities with stage pick-lists tied to business process flows. There is no native Realvolve workflow equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales—those automated sequences must be rebuilt using Power Automate flows or Dynamics business process flows after migration. FlitStack AI maps People to Contacts, Organizations to Accounts, and Realvolve Transactions to Dynamics Opportunities with stage and amount preserved. Realvolve document attachments migrate to SharePoint-connected Dynamics 365 file storage. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) transfers to Dynamics Activities with original timestamps and owner links intact. Realvolve's group and dynamic group logic surfaces as query-based views or manual contact lists in Dynamics. The migration extracts Realvolve data via API and CSV export, transforms records through a field-mapping manifest, and loads into Dynamics 365 Sales via the Dataverse web API. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any in-flight changes during cutover. FlitStack AI delivers a sample migration with field-level diff before the full run commits, plus an audit log and rollback capability if reconciliation fails.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Realvolve 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.
Realvolve
Person (Contact)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Realvolve People records with contact type 'Individual' migrate as Dynamics 365 Contacts. The Contact's primary Organization link resolves to an Account record by organization name match. Owner assignment resolves by email lookup against Dynamics 365 users. FlitStack flags any Person records with unmapped organization names before migration so the Account record can be created first to avoid broken lookup references in the Contact parentcustomerid field.
Realvolve
Organization
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Realvolve Organizations map directly to Dynamics 365 Accounts. Address, industry, phone, and website fields migrate to the corresponding Account address fields. Parent-child organization hierarchies in Realvolve map to Account.ParentAccountId where the parent organization has been migrated first. FlitStack enforces parent-first ordering during migration to prevent orphaned child records in the organizational hierarchy.
Realvolve
Transaction
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Realvolve Transactions become Dynamics 365 Opportunities. The Transaction stage maps to Opportunity StageName via a value-mapping table per pipeline. Deal amount, close date, and owner copy directly. Transaction checklists (document checklists) migrate as Notes attached to the Opportunity. The pipeline name field on the Opportunity routes the record into the correct Business Process Flow after migration completes.
Realvolve
Transaction Pipeline
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Business Process Flow
1:1Realvolve pipeline definitions (Active, Pending, Under Contract, Closed) map to Dynamics 365 Business Process Flows. Each pipeline stage becomes a stage in the process flow. FlitStack generates the process flow definition for your Dynamics admin to import into the environment.
Realvolve
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Note)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task / Email / Appointment / Note
1:1Realvolve activity types map to their Dynamics equivalents: phone calls to PhoneCall, emails to Email, meetings to Appointment, and text notes to Note. Original timestamps, owners, and parent-record links (Contact, Organization, Transaction) are preserved across all activity types. Activities with no matching parent record (deleted Contact or Organization) are flagged in the migration report for manual review.
Realvolve
Document / File Attachment
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SharePointDocumentLocation / Note
1:1Realvolve File Manager documents re-upload to the Dynamics 365 SharePoint-connected library linked to the Contact, Account, or Opportunity. Small inline attachments (under 25MB) migrate as Note attachments. File names and original upload dates are preserved as metadata. FlitStack validates SharePoint connectivity before document migration begins and defers document transfer if the SharePoint site is not yet configured in your Dynamics environment.
Realvolve
Workflow / Automated Sequence
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power Automate Flow / Business Rule
1:1Realvolve Workflows (Premium add-on) have no direct equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales and do not migrate. FlitStack exports your Realvolve workflow definitions—including trigger conditions, pause-and-wait nodes, and action sequences—as a PDF rebuild reference for Power Automate or Dynamics business process flow recreation.
Realvolve
Property / Listing
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity (Property)
1:1Realvolve property records (listing address, MLS number, property type, listing agent) require a custom Property entity in Dynamics 365 Sales. FlitStack maps property fields to custom fields on the Property entity and links each Property to the Account (seller/buyer) and Opportunity (transaction) via lookup fields.
Realvolve
Group / Dynamic Group
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Marketing List / Query-Based View
1:1Realvolve Groups with rule-based membership (dynamic groups) cannot be replicated as-is in Dynamics 365. FlitStack exports the group membership criteria and delivers a saved query definition that your Dynamics admin can use to recreate equivalent query-based views or static marketing lists.
Realvolve
User / Agent
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SystemUser
1:1Realvolve users and agents resolve to Dynamics 365 SystemUser records by email address match. Unmatched users are flagged before migration so your team can provision Dynamics 365 licenses and user accounts in advance. Historical transaction and activity ownership transfers to the resolved SystemUser.
Realvolve
MLS Board / Association
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field on Account / Contact
1:1Realvolve MLS board membership (e.g., ARER, NAR, local MLS board names) has no native Dynamics 365 equivalent. FlitStack migrates MLS board names as a custom multi-select pick-list or text field on the Account record for reference. The custom field requires pre-creation in your Dynamics environment before migration with the appropriate data type (text or pick-list) based on your preferred data structure.
Realvolve
Commission / Volume Tracking
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Fields on Opportunity / SystemUser
1:1Realvolve agent commission and volume tracking fields migrate as custom numeric fields on the Opportunity (commission percentage, volume credit) and SystemUser (YTD volume, tier status). These require your Dynamics admin to create the custom decimal and currency fields on both the Opportunity and SystemUser entities before the migration run executes to avoid schema mismatch errors.

Migration approach
Audit Realvolve data and Dynamics 365 environment readiness
FlitStack AI reads your Realvolve environment via API and CSV export to catalog all People, Organizations, Transactions, Activities, Documents, Workflow definitions, Groups, and Custom Fields. We simultaneously audit your Dynamics 365 Sales environment to confirm license tier (Professional vs Enterprise), SharePoint connection status, existing custom entities, and user roster. This discovery phase produces a Migration Scope Document listing every object to migrate, every custom field requiring Dynamics schema creation, any missing Dynamics user accounts for owner resolution, and a pre-migration checklist for your Dynamics admin.
Design Dynamics 365 custom entity schema and owner resolution plan
If your Realvolve deployment includes property data, MLS boards, or commission tracking fields, FlitStack delivers a custom entity design document specifying the Property entity schema, required custom fields, and lookup relationships to Account and Opportunity. We also deliver the owner resolution plan: a matched list of Realvolve agent emails to existing Dynamics 365 SystemUser records, plus a list of Realvolve agents with no Dynamics user account that need to be provisioned before migration. Your Dynamics admin creates the custom entity and fields from this document before FlitStack proceeds to data mapping.
Map and transform all data with field-level manifest
FlitStack builds a field-level mapping manifest covering all standard and custom fields from the Realvolve schema to the Dynamics 365 target schema. This includes value-mapping tables for transaction stage names, industry pick-lists, and any multi-select fields. Realvolve organization names resolve to Dynamics Account IDs, owner emails resolve to SystemUser IDs, and Realvolve custom fields (mls_number, listing_address, commission_split) map to the custom fields on the Property and Opportunity entities. The manifest is reviewed with your team before the sample migration runs.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of your Realvolve data—typically 200–500 records across Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, and Activities—migrates to your Dynamics 365 Sales sandbox environment. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values so you can verify that MLS numbers landed in rv_mlsnumber__c, transaction stage names resolved to the correct statecode, owner assignments matched by email, and property lookups linked to the correct Account. You approve the sample before the full migration is scheduled.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback
The full migration runs against your Dynamics 365 Sales production environment. Accounts migrate first (foreign key for Contacts), then Contacts, then Opportunities with stage and owner resolution. Activities migrate last with parent-record links preserved. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window runs concurrently to capture any Realvolve records modified during the cutover window. FlitStack maintains an audit log of every record created and updated. If reconciliation identifies data integrity issues, a one-click rollback reverts the Dynamics 365 environment to its pre-migration state so the full run can be re-executed with corrected mapping.
Deliver workflow rebuild reference and post-migration handoff
After data migration completes, FlitStack delivers the Workflow Export Package: a structured PDF and JSON file documenting every Realvolve workflow definition including trigger conditions, pause-and-wait nodes, action sequences, and branch logic. This package serves as the specification for your Dynamics admin or Power Automate consultant to rebuild automated sequences in Power Automate. We also deliver the Group Membership Export with current dynamic-group member lists and rule definitions for manual recreation in Dynamics query-based views or Marketing lists.
