Overview
Moving from Salesboom to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a lateral-platform migration that addresses both functional gaps and data consolidation for Microsoft-centric organizations. Salesboom's Salesforce-Classic-compatible data model (Leads, Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Tasks, Notes, Cases, and unlimited custom fields) maps broadly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales using the Dataverse API. The primary structural difference is that Dynamics 365 uses the Dataverse data layer with OAuth 2.0 authentication, typed fields, and a unified activity timeline where Tasks and Events share a single view. We authenticate against Salesboom's customer-specific API instance, export in dependency order (Accounts first, then Contacts, then Opportunities), and insert via the Dynamics 365 Web API or Bulk API depending on record volume. Custom fields on Salesboom are recreated as new Dataverse fields in the target environment since there is no shared field ID space. Territory management, time-triggered workflow rules, and ERP add-on module records do not migrate as configuration; we deliver a written inventory of these dependencies for the customer's admin to rebuild or relicense post-migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Salesboom 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.
Salesboom
Account
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Salesboom Accounts map directly to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Account. We preserve the full Account hierarchy, billing and shipping addresses, industry classification, and any custom Account fields. Salesboom's Account website field maps to the Account Website field in Dataverse. In Dynamics 365, Account is the primary company-level record and is created before any Contact import so that the AccountId lookup is satisfied at Contact insert time.
Salesboom
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Salesboom Contacts attach to Accounts and map to Dynamics 365 Contact with a required AccountId lookup. We resolve the AccountId at migration time using email domain or company name matching against the already-migrated Account records. Custom Contact fields on Salesboom are recreated as Dataverse columns and populated during import. Dynamics 365 enforces the Contact-Account relationship at the validation level, unlike Salesboom where Contacts can exist without an explicit parent Account.
Salesboom
Lead
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1Salesboom Leads map to Dynamics 365 Lead. The Lead object in both platforms stores prospect-level information independently of Accounts and Contacts. We preserve lead status, rating, source, and any custom lead fields. Dynamics 365 Lead uses LeadToOpportunityFlow for conversion, which we document but do not configure as part of migration scope. The original Salesboom lead creation date migrates as CreatedOn in Dataverse.
Salesboom
Opportunity
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Salesboom Opportunities map to Dynamics 365 Opportunity. Stage names, amounts, close dates, probabilities, and descriptions migrate directly. We configure the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Process to whitelist the migrated stage values so that imported Opportunities are valid against the destination org's validation rules. Opportunity-Account lookups are resolved after Account migration is complete. Custom Opportunity fields are recreated as Dataverse columns.
Salesboom
Opportunity Stage
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity Stage
lossyEach Salesboom Opportunity stage value becomes a Dynamics 365 StageName entry in a Sales Process that we configure in the target environment before Opportunity migration begins. We set StageProbability values to match the source percentages and map CloseReason from Salesboom's closed-lost or closed-won disposition field. If Salesboom uses multiple pipelines, each becomes a separate Record Type in Dynamics 365.
Salesboom
Task
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Task
1:1Salesboom Tasks map to Dynamics 365 Task. Subject, Status, Priority, Due Date, and Description migrate. In Dynamics 365, Tasks appear on the unified activity timeline alongside Events. We set the Regarding (object) lookup by resolving the parent AccountId or ContactId from the original Salesboom association. Task.Subject and Task.ActivityDate preserve the original Salesboom timestamps for timeline ordering.
Salesboom
Calendar Event
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Event
1:1Salesboom Calendar Events map to Dynamics 365 Event. Start time, end time, location, and body text migrate. We create EventRelation records for each attendee, resolving the attendee against migrated Contact and User records by email. Event records appear on the Dynamics 365 activity timeline in chronological order using the original Salesboom event timestamps. All-day events are flagged using the IsAllDayEvent field.
Salesboom
Note
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Note
1:1Salesboom Notes attach to any parent record (Account, Contact, Opportunity) and map to Dynamics 365 Note. Note title, body text, created date, and owner migrate. Rich-text formatting in Salesboom Notes is preserved as plain text to ensure compatibility with the Dataverse Note schema. Notes appear in the Dynamics 365 timeline view of the relevant record.
Salesboom
Case
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Case
1:1Salesboom Cases map to Dynamics 365 Case if the destination org includes the Customer Service app. Case status, priority, origin, subject, and description migrate. Dynamics 365 Case uses a different status model (Active, Resolved, Cancelled with sub-statuses) that we configure before import to accept the migrated status values. Auto-assignment rules and escalation workflows do not migrate; we document them in the automation inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Dynamics 365 Case Management.
Salesboom
Custom Field
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Column
lossySalesboom custom fields on any standard tab (Lead, Account, Contact, Opportunity, Case) are recreated as Dataverse custom columns in the Dynamics 365 target environment. There is no shared field ID space between the two platforms, so each custom field requires explicit schema provisioning. We capture the Salesboom field type and map it to the nearest Dataverse column type (Text, Integer, Decimal, Boolean, DateTime, or Option Set). Custom field data is migrated after the destination schema is deployed and validated.

Migration approach
Discovery and credentials audit
We audit the source Salesboom environment: record counts per object (Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Tasks, Events, Notes, Cases), list of active custom fields and their data types, active workflow rules and territory assignments, licensed ERP modules, and API access credentials. We validate connectivity against the Salesboom JSON API endpoint and observe any throttling responses during a test export. The discovery output is a written migration scope confirming which objects are in scope, which are out of scope (workflows, ERP modules requiring separate licensing), and a custom field inventory for Dataverse schema provisioning.
Dataverse schema provisioning
We create the destination schema in the customer's Dynamics 365 environment. This includes provisioning Dataverse custom columns for every Salesboom custom field identified during discovery, configuring the Sales Process with the migrated Opportunity stage values, and setting up Record Types if the source uses multiple pipelines. Schema is deployed into a Sandbox environment first for validation. We also assign the migration service account to the appropriate Dataverse security role so that field-level security does not block data inserts. This step is blocking: no records can be migrated until the target schema is complete.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Dynamics 365 Sandbox using the same record volume as production. The customer's CRM admin spot-checks 25-50 records per object against the Salesboom source, verifying field values, parent-record lookups, and custom field data. Any mapping corrections (wrong field type, missed custom field, incorrect date format) are applied to the schema and the sandbox migration is re-run. The admin signs off the sandbox results before we proceed to production migration. Sandbox migration typically takes one to three days depending on record volume.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order. Accounts are migrated first because Contacts and Opportunities reference them via AccountId. Leads are migrated next. Contacts are migrated with AccountId lookups resolved against the migrated Account records. Opportunities are migrated with AccountId, OwnerId, and the correct Sales Process resolved. Tasks and Events are migrated via Bulk API with parent-record (Regarding) lookups resolved at migration time. Notes are migrated and linked to their parent records via Dataverse RegardingId. Cases are migrated last. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and admin handoff
We freeze Salesboom writes during the cutover window and run a final delta migration capturing any records modified during the migration window. We perform a record-count reconciliation between the destination Dynamics 365 environment and the source Salesboom data. We deliver the automation and territory inventory document to the customer's CRM admin, noting which workflows require rebuild as Power Automate flows or Dynamics 365 Business Rules, and which ERP add-on modules require separate Business Central licensing. We support a 48-hour hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Post-migration admin support, training, and workflow rebuild are outside standard scope.
