Overview
Rechat is a real-estate-specific CRM built for agents and brokerages, storing contacts with MLS associations, property-linked deals, marketing assets, and agent performance data. Its data model centers on People (contacts), Companies, Deals, Marketing assets, and Listings with real-estate-specific fields like MLS IDs and listing statuses. Dynamics 365 Sales uses the Dataverse-backed entity model with Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, and Activities. Entities are tied to business units and security roles with field-level security options. We map Rechat People to Dynamics 365 Sales Contacts (or Leads for unqualified records), Rechat Companies to Accounts, Rechat Deals to Opportunities, and Rechat Activities to Tasks and Notes. Rechat's custom properties and listing associations migrate to Dynamics 365 Sales custom fields and connection entities. Rechat's workflows, automations, and marketing sequences do not transfer—they must be rebuilt in Dynamics 365 Sales using Power Automate flows or model-driven apps. Our migration engine uses Rechat's REST API for extraction and Dynamics 365 Sales Dataverse Web API for ingestion, with parallel bulk operations to handle large record volumes. We run a sample migration with field-level diff before committing to the full run, and we capture original timestamps and owner assignments throughout.
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 Rechat 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.
Rechat
People (Contacts)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Rechat People map directly to Dynamics 365 Sales Contacts. The primary company association in Rechat becomes the AccountId lookup on the Contact. Rechat contact custom properties migrate to custom fields on the Contact table. Original create dates preserved as Source_Create_Date__c for reporting continuity.
Rechat
People (Unqualified leads)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:manyRechat People records that have not been converted to active clients route to Dynamics 365 Sales Lead entity. Rechat lead-stage values (New, Contacted, Qualified) map to Lead Status pick-list values. People records with a closed deal in Rechat route to Contact instead.
Rechat
Companies
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Rechat Companies map to Dynamics 365 Sales Accounts. Company industry codes, employee counts, and annual revenue map to corresponding Account fields. Parent-company hierarchies in Rechat map to Account.ParentId in Dynamics 365 Sales. Website and address fields transfer directly. Any custom properties defined on Rechat Companies become custom fields on the Account record and are populated during migration.
Rechat
Company associations (People link)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
AccountContactRelationship
1:1Rechat N:N contact-to-company associations with role labels (Agent, Broker, Buyer, Seller) map to Dynamics 365 Sales Account Contact Relationships. The role label on each Rechat association becomes the Account Contact Relationship Role field. Primary company selection preserved as the Contact.AccountId lookup.
Rechat
Deals
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Rechat Deals map to Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunities. Deal name becomes Opportunity Name, amount transfers to Amount, and close date maps to CloseDate. Rechat deal stage names map to Opportunity StageName values via value-by-value mapping. The associated Contact or Lead link becomes the Opportunity CustomerId (Contact) or the Opportunity."Account".Id lookup.
Rechat
Deal custom properties
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom fields on Opportunity
1:1Rechat Deal-level custom properties (listing reference, property type, commission split) require custom fields on the Opportunity table in Dynamics 365 Sales. We create these as text, number, or pick-list fields based on Rechat's field type definitions before migration. Field metadata preserved in Source_Property_Mapping__c for reconciliation.
Rechat
Listings
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom table (Listing)
1:1Rechat Listings are a real-estate-specific object without a native Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. We create a custom Listing table in Dataverse with fields for MLS ID, property address, listing status, and price. Each Listing links to the associated Contact (agent) and Account (brokerage) via lookup fields. If Listings should roll up under Opportunities, we create Opportunity.ListingId__c as a custom lookup.
Rechat
Activities (Emails, Calls, Meetings)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Email, PhoneCall, Appointment
1:1Rechat activities synced from Google/Outlook map to corresponding Dynamics 365 Sales activity entities. Emails become Email (activitypointer) records. Calls become PhoneCall records. Meetings become Appointment records. Original timestamps, subject, and duration preserved. Owner attribution resolved by email match to Dynamics 365 Sales users.
Rechat
Notes
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Annotation
1:1Rechat Notes on People, Deals, and Companies migrate as Dynamics 365 Sales Annotations. Rich-text formatting preserved where supported. Note attachments download and re-upload to SharePoint or Dataverse file storage with original filenames. Parent record links (Regarding) map to the corresponding Contact, Account, or Opportunity.
Rechat
Marketing assets
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom table (MarketingAsset)
1:1Rechat marketing assets (email templates, social posts, flyers) have no Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. We create a MarketingAsset custom table to store asset name, type, and a URL reference to the file in destination SharePoint. Full asset rebuilding in Dynamics 365 Customer Insights or Power Automate is a separate workstream.
Rechat
Agent/User
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SystemUser
1:1Rechat agents matched to Dynamics 365 Sales users by email address. Unmatched agents flagged before migration for team invitation or fallback owner assignment. User roles and security profiles in Dynamics 365 Sales must be configured by the customer's admin—those are destination-side configuration, not migratable data.
Rechat
Workflows/Automations
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
N/A
1:1Rechat workflows, automation rules, and sequences do not migrate. They must be rebuilt in Dynamics 365 Sales using Power Automate flows or Dynamics 365 Sales automation features. We export Rechat workflow definitions as JSON documentation for the rebuild reference. This JSON package serves as the technical specification for your Power Automate or model-driven app rebuild, capturing trigger conditions, action sequences, and filter criteria from Rechat.

Migration approach
Audit Rechat schema and export workflow definitions
FlitStack AI connects to Rechat API and enumerates all People, Companies, Deals, Listings, Activities, Notes, and custom properties. We export all active workflow definitions and automation rules as JSON documentation for the rebuild reference. This audit identifies every non-standard field that requires a custom Dynamics 365 Sales field or custom Dataverse table before mapping can begin. The audit report also surfaces duplicate records, orphaned contacts, and listing records with missing agents that should be resolved before migration runs.
Stand up Dynamics 365 Sales custom schema
Before data ingestion, we create the custom fields and custom tables required by the mapping plan. This includes custom fields on Contact and Opportunity for Rechat MLS IDs, property types, and commission splits; the custom Listing__c Dataverse table; and configuration of the Account Contact Relationship connection entity. The Dynamics 365 Sales admin reviews and publishes the solution. We run a field-existence validation against the published schema before proceeding to extraction.
Resolve owners and create placeholder users
FlitStack AI matches Rechat agent email addresses against existing Dynamics 365 Sales users. Unmatched agents are flagged in a pre-migration owner report. The customer either invites unmatched agents to Dynamics 365 Sales before migration or designates a fallback owner (e.g., the brokerage admin) for records whose agents do not yet have Dynamics 365 Sales accounts. No record lands without a resolved OwnerId—records without a resolved owner are held in a staging table for manual assignment after go-live.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 200-500 records migrates first—spanning Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, and Activities. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values for every mapped field. You verify that MLS IDs, deal stages, company associations, and activity timestamps match the source. Owner resolution is validated. No custom fields are committed and no downstream automation is triggered until the sample diff is signed off.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover
Full data ingestion runs against Dynamics 365 Sales using parallel bulk API operations. A 24-48 hour delta-pickup window opens simultaneously, capturing any Rechat records created or modified during the ingestion phase. Activities logged by agents in Rechat during cutover are included in the delta run. The audit log captures every insert, update, and skip operation. One-click rollback reverts all Dynamics 365 Sales records to the pre-migration state if reconciliation against the Rechat export count fails.
Deliver reconciliation report and rebuild reference
FlitStack AI generates a reconciliation report comparing Rechat record counts by object type against Dynamics 365 Sales record counts. Discrepancies are listed with source record IDs and failure reasons. The JSON workflow-export file is delivered alongside the reconciliation report. Your team uses the workflow-export documentation to rebuild Rechat automations in Power Automate. Post-migration hypercare support is available for 5 business days to address any data anomalies discovered after go-live.
