Overview
Systeme.io is an all-in-one platform for creators and small businesses that bundles funnel building, email marketing, course hosting, and basic CRM. Its data model centers on Contacts, Businesses (company records), Products, Orders, Tags, and Funnel membership data. Dynamics 365 Sales is Microsoft's enterprise CRM built on Dataverse, with a distinct architecture separating Leads, Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities, each with stage-keyed Business Process Flows. The migration carries everything Systeme.io stores natively — contacts, businesses, products, orders, activity history — into Dynamics 365 Sales entities. We preserve original timestamps, owner assignments, and funnel stage data. Automation rules and email sequences do not migrate and require manual rebuild using Dynamics 365 Sales workflows and Power Automate. We export those definitions as reference documentation for your Dynamics admin. The migration runs via Dynamics 365 Web API with batch processing for performance across large contact lists. The migration pipeline leverages the Dynamics 365 Web API's batch endpoint to process up to 1,000 records per request, with configurable retry logic to handle throttling and ensure data integrity across large contact lists.
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 Systeme IO 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.
Systeme IO
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1Systeme.io contacts map directly to Dynamics 365 Sales Contacts. Email, phone, name, address, and custom fields transfer 1:1. The Contact must link to an Account (Company) — we resolve this by matching the contact's company name to the migrated Business record first.
Systeme IO
Business
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Systeme.io Businesses map to Dynamics 365 Sales Accounts — the company-level record. We map company name, website, address, industry, and employee count. Parent-child business hierarchies in Systeme.io translate to Account.ParentAccountId relationships in Dynamics 365. Address details are stored in the Dynamics 365 composite address fields, preserving street, city, and country. Industry is mapped to the Dynamics 365 IndustryCode picklist.
Systeme IO
Unconverted Contact (no product purchase)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead
1:1Systeme.io contacts who have not made a purchase or converted through a funnel land as Dynamics 365 Sales Leads, not Contacts. We route all untagged or early-stage contacts to Lead so your Dynamics 365 lead scoring and nurturing workflows operate correctly.
Systeme IO
Product
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Product (Product Catalog)
1:1Systeme.io products map to Dynamics 365 Sales Products with pricing details (price, description, product type). These feed into Opportunity Products for quote and order generation. Each product in Systeme.io becomes a Price List Item in Dynamics 365. Product pricing is linked to a Price List so Opportunities can reference current list prices during quote generation.
Systeme IO
Order
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity + Order
many:1Systeme.io orders map to two Dynamics 365 objects: open orders become Opportunities with the order total as Amount and estimated close date; completed orders become actual Orders in Dynamics 365 with status 'Fulfilled'. This preserves both pipeline visibility and transactional history.
Systeme IO
Tag
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom field (Tags__c)
1:1Systeme.io tags (e.g., 'webinar-attendee', 'course-buyer') have no native Dynamics 365 equivalent. We aggregate all tags into a custom text field (Tags__c) on Contact and Account, or create a custom Option Set if the tag vocabulary is standardized. This preserves segmentation data for reporting.
Systeme IO
Funnel / Pipeline Stage
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Business Process Flow + Opportunity Stage
1:1Each Systeme.io funnel becomes a separate Business Process Flow in Dynamics 365 Sales. Funnel step names map to Opportunity Stage values within that BPF. Stage-enter timestamps migrate as custom datetime fields on the Opportunity record for historical stage-timing analysis. The BPF stages are configured with the same names and order as the original funnel steps, ensuring a familiar pipeline view in Dynamics 365.
Systeme IO
Email Campaign Activity
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Activity (Email, Task)
1:1Email opens, clicks, and sends from Systeme.io campaigns migrate as Dynamics 365 Activities — emails stored as email activities, campaign enrollment as a Task with subject 'Campaign Enrollment'. Original timestamps and campaign names preserved. Email content itself migrates as Notes attached to the Contact record.
Systeme IO
Form Submission
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead / Contact + Custom Field
1:1Form submissions and page view data from Systeme.io funnels migrate as Lead or Contact records with a custom field capturing the form name and submission source. The 'Lead Source' field in Dynamics 365 is used for top-level attribution (e.g., 'Landing Page — Free Trial').
Systeme IO
Automation Rule
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power Automate (manual rebuild)
1:1Systeme.io automation rules (email sequences, tag triggers, date-based actions) do not have a migration path. We export a JSON definition of every automation rule including trigger conditions, time delays, and action sequence so your Dynamics 365 admin can rebuild equivalent flows in Power Automate.
Systeme IO
Custom Field (platform)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom field (new_ prefix)
1:1Systeme.io custom fields migrate to Dynamics 365 custom fields prefixed with 'new_' per Dataverse convention. Custom fields are created in your Dynamics 365 solution before record migration begins. Data type mapping (text to string, number to whole number or decimal, date to datetime) is handled per field.
Systeme IO
Owner / User
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SystemUser (OwnerId lookup)
1:1Systeme.io owner email addresses resolve against Dynamics 365 SystemUser records by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged with a report before migration — you either invite them to Dynamics 365 first or assign their records to a fallback owner. No record migrates without a valid OwnerId.

Migration approach
Audit Systeme.io data and design Dynamics 365 schema
We extract a full inventory of your Systeme.io records: contact count, business count, product catalog size, order volume, tag vocabulary, and custom field definitions. We cross-reference this against your target Dynamics 365 Sales tier. We then deliver a schema design plan specifying the Account-Contact-Lead-Opportunity structure, required custom fields (new_ prefixed per Dataverse convention), Business Process Flow designs per funnel, and any licensing upgrades needed before migration.
Create Dynamics 365 custom fields and Business Process Flows
Your Dynamics 365 admin (or our team) creates the custom fields, entity relationships, and Business Process Flows outlined in the schema plan before data migration begins. This includes tags as a custom field, original create dates as custom datetime fields, funnel membership fields on Opportunity, and stage-entered timestamp fields. BPFs are created per funnel so opportunity stage mapping resolves correctly. This step prevents validation failures during data load.
Resolve owners and migrate foundation records
We match Systeme.io owner email addresses to existing Dynamics 365 SystemUser records by email. Unmatched owners are flagged in a pre-migration report — you invite them to Dynamics 365 or assign their records to a fallback owner. Foundation records (Accounts from Businesses, Products, then Contacts from Contacts) migrate first in dependency order so foreign keys resolve correctly. A count validation report confirms record totals match Systeme.io after each phase.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first — spanning contacts, businesses, products, orders, and a few activities. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values in Systeme.io against destination values in Dynamics 365. You verify tag aggregation, funnel-to-BPF stage mapping, owner resolution, and date preservation. Any mapping adjustments are made before the full migration commits. We also verify that picklist values and custom field data types match the Dynamics 365 schema before proceeding.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
Full migration runs against Dynamics 365 Sales using the validated mapping. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records modified or created in Systeme.io during the cutover. Every operation is logged to an audit trail. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. We deliver a final reconciliation report showing migrated record counts, unmapped fields requiring manual resolution, and a list of automation rules exported for Power Automate rebuild.
