Overview
Moving from Sales Snap to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a manual-first migration because Sales Snap does not publish a REST API or bulk export endpoint. All source data retrieval depends on CSV downloads from the Sales Snap UI, which means the migration timeline is driven by manual data export volume rather than automated API extraction. We work around this constraint by building a structured export guide for the customer, validating record counts and field completeness from the CSV before any import work begins. On the Dynamics 365 side we use the Dataverse Web API with chunked batch requests and exponential backoff to respect the 60,000-request-per-5-minute-per-user limit. We map Sales Snap Contacts to either Dynamics Leads (unqualified prospects) or Contacts attached to Accounts (qualified buyers), deduplicate Company records into Accounts, and transfer Sequence email templates and step timing into Dynamics Sales Sequences. Workflows, automations, and sequence personalization tokens do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every active Sequence and outreach rule requiring rebuild in Dynamics.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Sales Snap 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 Snap
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead or Contact (split required)
1:manySales Snap Contacts with Lifecycle Stage of unqualified, new, or outreach_made map to Microsoft Dynamics Lead. Contacts with Lifecycle Stage of opportunity, customer, or evangelist map to Dynamics Contact tied to an Account. We compute the split from the exported CSV's lifecycle_stage column at migration time, preserve the original value in a custom field ss_original_lifecycle__c on both Lead and Contact, and set Lead Status to the Dynamics default unless the customer specifies a custom status mapping.
Sales Snap
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Sales Snap Company records map to Dynamics 365 Account. The domain name in the company record becomes the Account Website field. Company name is the dedupe key; we deduplicate on company_name_lower during CSV preprocessing so that a single Account is created even if the company name appears across multiple Contact rows. Account is inserted before Contact import so that the AccountId lookup relationship is satisfied at Contact insert time.
Sales Snap
Sequence (Outbound Campaign)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Sales Sequence
lossySales Snap Sequences map to Dynamics Sales Sequences, which are available on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Enterprise and Premium tiers. We map email template subject lines, step order, and timing rules (wait days between steps) from the exported sequence CSV. Personalization tokens (such as {{first_name}} or {{company}}) require manual reconfiguration in Dynamics because Dynamics Sequences use a different token syntax (such as {{contact.firstname}}). We deliver a token mapping table alongside the sequence import to guide the customer's admin through reconfiguration.
Sales Snap
Task (Follow-up)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task
1:1Follow-up tasks generated by Sales Snap Sequences export as a flat list with contact_id, task_type, due_date, and completion_status columns. We map task_type to Dynamics Task Subject, due_date to ActivityDate, and completion_status to Task Status (completed = Completed, open = Not Started). Orphaned tasks with no linked contact_id are flagged separately in a reconciliation report and held pending contact mapping resolution.
Sales Snap
Engagement: Email, Call, Meeting
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task, Event, EmailMessage
1:1Sales Snap engagement logs (opens, clicks, replies, calls, meetings) export per contact as engagement_type, engagement_timestamp, and content columns. Email opens and clicks map to Task records with a custom engagement_type__c field. Calls map to Task with TaskSubtype = Call and CallDurationInSeconds from the duration column. Meetings map to Event records with StartDateTime and EndDateTime preserved. All activity timestamps are set to the original engagement_timestamp to preserve timeline ordering in Dynamics.
Sales Snap
Pipeline Stage
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity Stage
lossySales Snap does not expose a configurable pipeline object in its exports. We infer pipeline state from the contact lifecycle_stage and deal_associated fields in the CSV. Each inferred stage becomes a Dynamics Opportunity StageName value with a probability percentage configured in the customer's Sales Process. We map Sales Snap's default stage labels (such as New Lead, Qualified, Demo Scheduled, Proposal Sent, Won, Lost) to the nearest Dynamics stage equivalents during scoping.
Sales Snap
Custom Field
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Field
1:1Sales Snap custom fields visible in the CSV export map 1:1 to Dynamics custom fields. We create the destination schema fields in the Dynamics Sandbox before migration using the Dataverse API, mapping text fields to Dynamics Single-Line Text or Multi-Line Text, date fields to Date or DateTime based on the Sales Snap field format, and picklist fields to Option Sets. Any type mismatches (for example, a date stored as text in the CSV) are flagged in a data quality report before import.
Sales Snap
Owner
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
User
1:1Sales Snap Owner records export with owner_name and owner_email columns. We match by owner_email against the Dynamics destination org's User table. Owners without a matching Dynamics User are held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. This step is required before any record with an OwnerId dependency can be loaded.

Migration approach
Export preparation and CSV retrieval guide
We provide a structured export guide specifying every object to export from Sales Snap (Contacts, Companies, Sequences, Tasks, Engagements), the expected columns for each export, and the recommended sort order to avoid UI pagination gaps. The customer's team performs the exports while we build the CSV validation scripts and field mapping spreadsheet. We schedule a review call to validate record counts and field completeness against the customer's expected migration scope before any import work begins.
Data profiling and quality remediation
We run data profiling on every exported CSV file: duplicate detection on company_name and email, date format normalization, blank required-field identification, and special-character sanitization. We generate a data quality report and work with the customer's team to resolve issues before migration. Common remediations include deduping Company rows, converting date formats to ISO 8601, and filling missing required fields with placeholders pending review.
Dynamics schema design and Sandbox provisioning
We design the destination Dynamics schema: custom fields (with Option Sets for picklists, field types for text and dates), Sales Process and stage values, Record Types for pipeline segmentation, and the Lead-Contact split rule. Schema is deployed via the Dataverse Web API into a Dynamics Sandbox (Full Copy) for validation. We coordinate with the customer's Dynamics admin to grant the migration user the necessary Dataverse roles and to temporarily relax any validation rules that would block data load during the sandbox pass.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Dynamics Sandbox using production-like data volume from the CSV exports. The customer reconciles record counts across all object types, spot-checks 20-40 records against the source CSV, and validates that Account-Contact relationships, Activity timelines, and Sequence step ordering are correct. Mapping corrections identified during sandbox testing are applied to the production migration scripts before the production migration begins.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Owner email from the source CSV and match against the Dynamics destination org's User table. Any Owner without a matching User is added to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Dynamics admin provisions the missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original Sales Snap owner is still on the team) before production migration proceeds. This step is mandatory before any record with an OwnerId dependency can be inserted.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in strict dependency order: Account (from Companies), Contact (with AccountId resolved and Lead-Contact split applied), Lead (for split unqualified prospects), Task (for follow-ups), Engagement history (Tasks, Events via Bulk API with 1,000-record batches and 5-minute cool-down to respect the 60,000-request-per-5-minute limit), and Sequence templates with step structure and timing rules. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We freeze Sales Snap writes during the final 24-hour delta window.
Cutover, validation, and sequence rebuild handoff
We enable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as the system of record and run a final reconciliation comparing record counts between the source CSV totals and the Dynamics destination. We deliver the Sequence token mapping table and the automation inventory document to the customer's admin team. We do not rebuild Sales Snap Sequences as Dynamics Sales Sequences inside the migration scope; that reconfiguration work is handled by the customer's admin or a Dynamics partner using the token mapping table we provide.
