Overview

What this migration involves

Salesflo Engage centers on field operations: scheduled visits, unscheduled visits, form-based data collection, GPS location tagging, and workflow assignments for retail or field sales teams. It does not model leads, opportunities, or pipeline stages — it models what your team did in the field. Dynamics 365 Sales uses the Microsoft Dataverse data model with Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities as the primary CRM objects, plus activity tables for Tasks and Appointments. There is no native visit or workflow object in Dynamics 365 Sales; these require custom field design and, in the case of workflows, a rebuild in Power Automate. We map Salesflo user records to Dynamics 365 systemusers, all visit and task history to Tasks and Appointments, location records to Accounts with GPS coordinates in custom decimal fields, and form submissions to a custom FormSubmission table in Dataverse. Workflow definitions export as structured JSON so your Dynamics admin can rebuild them in Power Automate. The migration runs via Dataverse web API and bulk operations, with a sample migration and field-level diff before the full cutover and a delta-pickup window for in-flight records.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

What's pushing teams away

  • Four pricing tiers are listed publicly but only the Free Trial tier has published pricing—the Essential, Professional, and Enterprise tiers are 'Coming soon', making it hard to budget for growth.
  • Custom workflows built in the modular builder have no documented export format, creating lock-in risk when teams consider switching platforms.
  • No publicly available API documentation found during research, meaning integrations with BI tools or downstream systems depend on undocumented endpoints or third-party connectors.
  • Teams report that data synchronisation between Engage and other systems often requires Zapier or similar middleware, adding cost and latency.
  • App Store reviews note technical glitches and uncertainty around conversation privacy, suggesting the platform's mobile layer is less mature than its web counterpart.

Choosing

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales  logo

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

What's pulling them in

  • Deep Microsoft 365, Teams, and Outlook integration makes Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales a natural fit for Microsoft-first organizations already invested in that ecosystem
  • Sales Enterprise and Premium tiers offer unlimited custom tables and advanced AI-driven forecasting and predictive analytics not available in lower tiers
  • Professional tier pricing at $65 per user per month offers a lower entry cost than Salesforce for SMB teams with straightforward CRM needs
  • Flexible customization options allow businesses to build bespoke apps, tailor forms and views, and integrate with other Dynamics 365 modules
  • Microsoft Copilot AI tools are embedded directly into the sales workflow on Enterprise and Premium, automating routine tasks and providing deal intelligence

Object mapping

How Salesflo Engage objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a Salesflo Engage 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.

Salesflo Engage

User

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

systemuser

1:1
Fully supported

Salesflo Engage team members map directly to Dynamics 365 systemuser records. Owner resolution uses email matching against the destination user list — unmatched owners are flagged before migration so their records land with a fallback owner. This ensures referential integrity and prevents orphaned records in the destination system.

Salesflo Engage

Scheduled Visit

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Appointment

1:1
Fully supported

Scheduled visits translate to Dynamics 365 Appointment records with visit start time mapped to ScheduledStart, end time to ScheduledEnd, and status values (completed, cancelled, no-show) mapped to StateCode and StatusCode. Original timestamps are preserved in custom datetime fields on the appointment record for historical reference.

Salesflo Engage

Unscheduled Visit

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Unscheduled visits and general field activity records become Dynamics 365 Task entities. A custom flag field (Unscheduled_Visit__c) distinguishes them from routine tasks, and visit outcome and notes map to the Description field. Owner resolves by email match to systemuser for accurate assignment tracking.

Salesflo Engage

Location / Store

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Salesflo Engage location and store records map to Dynamics 365 Account records. Store name maps to Account.Name, full address splits into Address1 fields. GPS latitude and longitude are preserved as custom decimal fields (Location_Latitude__c and Location_Longitude__c) since Dataverse has no native location entity.

Salesflo Engage

Form / Survey

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom FormSubmission Table

1:1
Fully supported

Dynamics 365 has no native form or survey entity. Each Salesflo Engage form becomes a custom Dataverse table named FormSubmission with fields for Form_Name__c (text), Submitted_At__c (datetime), Submitted_By__c (lookup to systemuser), and Response_Data__c (multitext storing the full JSON response payload for queryable reference.

Salesflo Engage

Workflow

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Power Automate (rebuild required)

1:1
Fully supported

Salesflo Engage workflow definitions do not migrate to Dynamics 365. We export each workflow as a structured JSON document describing its steps, triggers, and assignments — your Dynamics admin uses this as a reference to rebuild equivalent flows in Power Automate. Workflows are always disclosed as a manual-rebuild item in our migration plan.

Salesflo Engage

Team / Role

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Security Role

1:1
Fully supported

Salesflo Engage team structure and role assignments map to Dynamics 365 Security Roles. Each Salesflo team becomes a corresponding D365 security role; you define which entities and fields each role can read, write, or delete. Page layout assignments are a separate destination-side configuration step.

Salesflo Engage

Visit Note / Attachment

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Annotation

1:1
Fully supported

Notes and file attachments attached to Salesflo Engage visit records migrate as Dynamics 365 Annotations (note records). Files re-upload to SharePoint or Dataverse storage depending on your D365 configuration. Inline images in notes are downloaded and rehosted in the destination document library.

Salesflo Engage

Form Response

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

FormSubmission Record

1:1
Fully supported

Individual form submissions become rows in the custom FormSubmission Dataverse table. The Submitted_At__c field preserves the original submission timestamp. Response_Data__c stores the complete JSON payload so the full survey context is queryable in D365 even though there is no native form builder.

Salesflo Engage

GPS / Location Tag

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Account Fields

1:1
Fully supported

GPS coordinates captured at visit time map to Location_Latitude__c and Location_Longitude__c on the parent Account record, and to Visit_Latitude__c and Visit_Longitude__c on the Task record. This enables proximity searches and map-based reporting in Dynamics 365 using Power Apps or third-party map components without native location entities.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No native visit or workflow entity in Dynamics 365 Sales

    Salesflo Engage models field visits and workflow assignments as first-class objects. Dynamics 365 Sales has no equivalent entity for visit records or workflow definitions — scheduled visits must map to the Appointment table, unscheduled visits to the Task table with a custom flag field, and workflows require a complete rebuild in Power Automate using the exported JSON definitions as a reference guide. This is a structural mismatch that requires custom Dataverse field design before any data can land correctly in Dynamics 365.

  • GPS coordinates need custom fields — no native location entity

    Salesflo Engage captures GPS latitude and longitude on every visit and location record. Dynamics 365 Sales and Dataverse have no native location or geo-coordinate field type. We create Location_Latitude__c and Location_Longitude__c as custom decimal fields on the Account record, and Visit_Latitude__c / Visit_Longitude__c on the Task record. You can surface these on map-based Power Apps or third-party map components, but native map views are not available out of the box in Dynamics 365 Sales.

  • Form and survey data requires a custom Dataverse table

    Salesflo Engage's dynamic surveys and structured form submissions have no direct equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales. We create a custom FormSubmission Dataverse table with Form_Name__c, Submitted_At__c, Submitted_By__c (lookup to systemuser), and Response_Data__c (multiline text storing the full JSON payload). This preserves all submission data and timestamps for reporting, but you lose the native form-building experience that Salesflo Engage provides — form records are queryable but not editable within the D365 UI without a Power Apps canvas app.

  • Workflow rebuild in Power Automate is always a manual step

    Salesflo Engage workflow definitions — step sequences, triggers, conditional logic, and assignment rules — have no migration path to Dynamics 365 Sales. Power Automate is the destination-side equivalent, but automation logic must be rebuilt manually. We export every workflow definition as a structured JSON document describing its triggers, steps, and assignments, giving your Dynamics admin a precise blueprint for rebuilding each flow. This is a billing and effort risk that must be accounted for in the migration scope before go-live.

  • Sales Professional caps custom tables at 15 — Enterprise is unlimited

    Dynamics 365 Sales Professional enforces a 15-table limit on custom Dataverse tables. If your Salesflo Engage setup uses more than 15 distinct form types or custom entity kinds, a Sales Professional license will block full data migration without upgrading to Sales Enterprise. We audit your Salesflo form and custom object count during discovery and flag whether a license upgrade is required before we begin schema design. This is a critical scoping item that affects the overall migration budget and timeline.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Salesflo Engage to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales data migration

  1. Audit Salesflo Engage data inventory and design Dataverse schema

    FlitStack AI inventories all visit records, form submissions, location data, and user accounts in your Salesflo Engage environment via scoped API access. We count records per type, audit custom form structures, and identify workflow definitions that need JSON export. Based on this inventory, we design the custom Dataverse tables (FormSubmission, PowerAutomate_Export) and custom fields on Account and Task/Appointment needed to receive your data, flagging whether a Sales Enterprise license is required if your form count exceeds the Professional 15-table limit.

  2. Resolve owners and users by email match

    Every visit, task, and form submission in Salesflo Engage carries an owner or assignee. We match Salesflo user email addresses against existing Dynamics 365 systemuser records by email. Unmatched users are flagged before migration begins — your team either provisions them in D365 first or assigns their records to a designated fallback owner. No record lands in Dynamics 365 without a resolved OwnerId.

  3. Build transformation logic and export workflow definitions

    We build the field-mapping and transformation logic for every object pair: visits to Tasks and Appointments with custom GPS and status fields, form submissions to the FormSubmission custom table, locations to Accounts with coordinate fields, and workflow definitions to a structured JSON export. Each transformation is documented in a field-level mapping sheet that you can review and approve before the sample migration runs.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice — typically 200–500 records spanning visits, accounts, contacts, and form submissions — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing every mapped value in the source against its corresponding D365 field, so you can verify GPS coordinate mapping, visit-to-task routing, form submission storage, and owner resolution before the production run commits. You approve the sample output before we proceed to the full dataset migration.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full dataset loads into Dynamics 365 via Dataverse bulk operations and web API calls, sequenced to resolve foreign keys correctly (Accounts first, then Contacts, then Tasks/Appointments, then FormSubmission records). A delta-pickup window captures any records created or modified in Salesflo Engage during the cutover. An audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback reverts the D365 instance to the pre-migration state if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues.
