Overview
Moving from Sales Infinite to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales requires mapping a unified Contact and Account model against a platform that separates Leads from Contacts and ties both to Account records. Sales Infinite stores pipeline stages as configurable labels that must map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Process stage values; we capture the full stage set during discovery and configure matching Record Types before any Opportunity data moves. Activities (emails, calls, meetings, tasks) are reconstructed in Dynamics 365 through the Dataverse API with WhoId and WhatId lookups resolved at migration time. We do not migrate Workflows, automations, or sequences as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation for the customer's admin to rebuild in Power Automate or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales based workflows post-migration. Custom fields require schema discovery before mapping because Sales Infinite allows non-standard field types that must translate to typed Dataverse columns.
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 Sales Infinite 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.
Sales Infinite
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead or Contact (split based on qualification)
1:manySales Infinite Contacts may include both unqualified prospects and active customers with a status or lifecycle property distinguishing the two. We apply a qualification split rule during scoping: records meeting the customer's buyer-ready criteria map to Salesforce Contact attached to an Account; others map to Lead. The original Sales Infinite status property is preserved in a custom field si_original_status__c on both Lead and Contact for audit and reporting continuity.
Sales Infinite
Account
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Sales Infinite Account records map directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Account. Industry, annual revenue, type, and address fields translate 1:1. We flag any Account records that lack an associated Contact, as these orphan Accounts require a decision on whether to attach a placeholder Contact or archive the Account record before migration.
Sales Infinite
Opportunity
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Sales Infinite Opportunities map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity with Amount, CloseDate, and Stage preserved. The pipeline stage label set from Sales Infinite is mapped to a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Process (or multiple Record Types if multiple pipelines exist). We configure the stage probability map during discovery and deploy via Dataverse before Opportunity records are loaded.
Sales Infinite
Pipeline Stage
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Sales Process + Stage
lossyEach Sales Infinite pipeline with its associated stage labels, probabilities, and ordering translates to a Dynamics 365 Record Type and corresponding Sales Process. Stage values are created in Dataverse with matching probability percentages, and the Record Type is assigned to the Opportunity at migration time. If Sales Infinite stages cannot be mapped 1:1, we flag the gap and document the closest Dynamics 365 equivalent.
Sales Infinite
Activity (email, call, meeting, task)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task, Event, EmailMessage
1:manySales Infinite Activities are decomposed by type: email engagements map to Dynamics 365 EmailMessage records (the content) linked to a Task record (the timeline entry); call engagements map to Task with TaskSubtype=Call; meeting engagements map to Event with start and end time preserved; standalone tasks map to Task. We resolve WhoId (Contact or Lead) and WhatId (Opportunity or Account) using a pre-built lookup table generated during the Contact and Opportunity migration phases.
Sales Infinite
Note
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note
1:1Sales Infinite Notes migrate to Dynamics 365 Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent Account, Contact, or Opportunity. Rich text formatting is preserved where the destination field supports it. File attachments associated with Notes are downloaded individually from Sales Infinite and re-uploaded to the corresponding Dynamics 365 record's SharePoint document location.
Sales Infinite
Custom Field
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field
lossyCustom fields on any standard object (Contact, Account, Opportunity) require schema discovery before mapping. Sales Infinite allows property types that may not map directly to Dataverse column types: multi-select picklists translate to Dataverse choice columns; number fields with formatting translate to decimal or currency columns; formula fields are flagged as non-migratable because they compute at runtime. We pre-create all destination custom fields in a Dataverse sandbox before production migration.
Sales Infinite
Owner
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User
1:1Sales Infinite Owners are resolved by email match against the Dynamics 365 destination User table. Any Owner record without a matching User in the destination is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. OwnerId is required on Opportunity and Contact records; unresolved owners block those record types from loading.
Sales Infinite
Lead (if available)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1If the Sales Infinite subscription tier includes a separate Lead object, those records migrate directly to Dynamics 365 Lead. Lead source, status, and any scoring fields map to corresponding Dynamics 365 fields. If Sales Infinite does not have a separate Lead object and all prospects live as Contacts, we apply the qualification split rule documented in the Contact mapping entry.

Migration approach
Discovery and schema mapping
We audit the Sales Infinite environment for object inventory, custom field definitions, pipeline and stage label sets, Owner population, and engagement record volume by type. We pair this with a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales environment audit to identify existing Record Types, Sales Processes, and custom fields. The discovery output is a written migration scope including the Contact-Lead qualification split rule, pipeline-to-Sales-Process mapping, and a custom field translation matrix for any non-standard Sales Infinite property types.
Sandbox schema deployment and validation
We deploy the destination schema (custom fields, Record Types, Sales Processes, choice values for picklists) into a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Sandbox environment using the Dataverse API. The customer's Dynamics 365 admin validates the schema and stage mapping in the sandbox, and we run a trial migration of a representative record subset (typically 500-1,000 records per object) to validate mapping correctness and identify any field-level rejections before production migration.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Owner email from Sales Infinite across Contact, Account, and Opportunity records and match against the destination Dynamics 365 User table. Owners without a matching User are listed in a reconciliation report. The customer's admin provisions any missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original Sales Infinite user is still active). Migration cannot proceed to Opportunity and Contact loads until Owner reconciliation is complete because OwnerId is a required field.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (first, as the parent of Contacts and Opportunities), Contacts and Leads (with the qualification split applied), Opportunities (with RecordTypeId and SalesProcessId resolved, and OwnerId from the User lookup), Activity history (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages via Dataverse API with batch chunking), Notes with attachments. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. The final delta migration captures any records modified during the cutover window.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze Sales Infinite writes during cutover, execute the final delta migration, and enable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team along with a field-by-field mapping reference. We support a three-day hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. We do not rebuild Sales Infinite Workflows or sequences as Power Automate flows or Dynamics 365 workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
