Overview
Moving from WayMore to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a platform-class migration from an omnichannel marketing automation tool with a built-in CRM layer into a full enterprise sales CRM. WayMore has no publicly documented API or bulk export endpoint, so we extract Contacts, Companies, Campaign records, and Tags via CSV from the dashboard and ingest them through the Dynamics 365 Dataverse Web API using batch operations and exponential backoff. WayMore's Deal and Opportunity-like records are represented as Engagement records tied to contacts; we reconstruct these as Opportunities with the associated Account and Contact lookups resolved before insert. WayMore automation workflows, segmentation rules, chatbot flows, and marketing asset files do not migrate as code or media; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow and segment for the customer's admin to rebuild in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales or Power Automate. Custom fields on Contact and Company records map to typed Dataverse columns, and any unsubscribed-contact flags migrate to the Dynamics 365 email opt-out field to preserve compliance.
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 WayMore 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.
WayMore
Contact
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact
1:1WayMore Contact records map to Dynamics 365 Contact. We extract via CSV from the WayMore dashboard contacts section, mapping standard fields (fullname, emailaddress1, telephone1, address) to typed Dataverse columns. Custom properties on Contact migrate as additional Dataverse columns created before import. The unsubscribed-contact flag from WayMore maps to emailaddress1optout on Contact to preserve CAN-SPAM and GDPR compliance at the destination.
WayMore
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1WayMore Company records map to Dynamics 365 Account. The CSV export from WayMore includes company name, domain, address, and industry fields that map to the Account entity. We resolve the parent Account reference on each Contact at migration time by matching the company name or domain from the WayMore CSV against the newly created Account records before Contact insert to satisfy the CustomerId lookup.
WayMore
Deal
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:manyWayMore does not have a native Opportunity object; revenue and pipeline data are tracked through Engagement records on Contact. We reconstruct Opportunities by extracting WayMore engagement records that represent sales interactions (such as deal-related notes, stage-change events, or custom deal-property records), grouping them by Contact and Company, and inserting them as Dynamics 365 Opportunity records with the Contact as the potentialcustomerid and the Account as the parentaccountid lookup. The original WayMore deal stage and amount values map to Opportunity stage and estimatedvalue.
WayMore
Email Campaign
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Campaign
1:1WayMore Email Campaign records (subject, content, sending history) map to Dynamics 365 Campaign. The CSV export provides campaign metadata including subject, send date, and recipient count. Campaign records in Dynamics 365 serve as the parent container for marketing initiatives and link to Contacts via CampaignResponse or CampaignItem records. Actual delivery statistics and open rates are not available from WayMore's CSV export and are documented separately for the customer's admin to reference.
WayMore
SMS Message
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Campaign (SMS type)
1:1WayMore SMS campaign records and message templates export via CSV with opt-out status per contact. We map these to Dynamics 365 Campaign with the SMS channel designation and preserve the contact-level opt-out flag to maintain TCPA compliance. SMS-specific fields (message body, sender ID) store in custom Campaign fields since Dynamics 365 standard Campaign entity does not have a dedicated SMS body column.
WayMore
Custom Field
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Column (Dataverse)
1:1WayMore custom properties on Contact and Company vary by account and export as additional CSV columns. We create typed Dataverse columns (text, integer, decimal, datetime, picklist, boolean) matching the WayMore property type during the pre-migration schema design phase. Type preservation is confirmed against the WayMore CSV header during extraction; dropdown-type custom properties become Dataverse picklist option sets with the original values replicated as options.
WayMore
Segment
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Static Marketing List + Contact custom field
1:1WayMore segments are dynamic rule-based lists that auto-update (e.g., contacts who visited page X more than twice). We export the current contact membership of each segment as a static snapshot at migration time. The snapshot is loaded into Dynamics 365 as a Marketing List with a custom field segment_name__c set to the segment name for each member Contact. The dynamic rule logic cannot be replicated in Dynamics 365 without Power Automate-based rebuilding, which is documented in the automation inventory deliverable.
WayMore
Automation Workflow
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power Automate (separate rebuild)
lossyWayMore automation workflows (triggers, conditions, delays, CRM actions) define customer journey behavior. We export the workflow definitions as structured JSON documentation covering step sequence, trigger type, conditions, and actions. The execution state, pending delays, and queued messages are lost at migration and cannot be transferred. We deliver a written workflow inventory with a recommended Power Automate equivalent for each active WayMore workflow. The customer's admin rebuilds in Power Automate post-migration; this is outside the data migration scope.
WayMore
Tag
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Contact custom multi-select field or text field
1:1WayMore tags applied to contacts for labeling and segmentation export as additional columns in the Contact CSV. We map tag values to a Dataverse contact field, using a multi-select picklist if the tag set is small and bounded, or a text field if the tag vocabulary is large or open-ended. Tags serve as a reference dataset for the customer's admin to configure a permanent segmentation strategy in Dynamics 365.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and CSV extraction scoping
We audit the WayMore account for Contact volume, Company volume, active campaigns, SMS records, custom field count, segment definitions, active automation workflows, and any chatbot flows or push notification setups. We extract comprehensive CSVs from the WayMore dashboard including all available fields for Contact, Company, Campaign, and SMS objects. We document any fields not present in the CSV export for manual supplementation. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a field-level mapping document, and a list of fields requiring manual extraction from the WayMore UI.
Dynamics 365 environment audit and schema design
We audit the destination Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales environment for existing entity configurations, custom columns, security roles, and sales process settings. We pre-create any missing Dataverse columns to match the WayMore custom property set, using correct data types (text, integer, decimal, datetime, picklist, boolean). We configure any required Record Types and Sales Processes for the Opportunity entity if deal reconstruction is in scope. We grant the migration user the Dataverse API permissions required for batch ingestion. Schema changes deploy into a Dynamics 365 Sandbox first for validation.
Owner and Account reconciliation
We extract all distinct WayMore owner email addresses from the Contact and Company CSV exports and match them against the Dynamics 365 User table by email. Any WayMore owner without a matching Dynamics 365 User is listed in a reconciliation report for the customer's admin to provision. We also extract Company names and domains from the WayMore Company CSV and verify that the corresponding Account records will be created before Contact insert so that the parent Account lookup (parentaccountid) is satisfied at the moment of Contact ingestion.
Sandbox migration and validation
We run a full migration into the Dynamics 365 Sandbox using representative data volume. The customer reconciles record counts against the WayMore source CSVs, spot-checks 25-50 records for field-level accuracy (names, emails, phone numbers, opt-out flags, custom field values), and reviews the Account-Contact relationship integrity. Any mapping corrections are applied before production migration begins. This step validates the entire extraction-transform-load pipeline without touching production data.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from WayMore Companies), Contacts (with parentaccountid resolved and emailaddress1optout set from WayMore unsubscribe flags), Opportunities (reconstructed from WayMore engagement records with regardingobjectid pointing to the resolved Contact), Campaigns (from WayMore Email Campaigns and SMS records with custom SMS body fields), Tags (as custom multi-select or text fields on Contact), and Segment snapshots (as Marketing Lists with the segment_name__c field). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use Dataverse batch operations with exponential backoff to respect API rate limits.
Cutover, final validation, and automation inventory delivery
We freeze writes to WayMore during the cutover window, run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, and then switch the system of record to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales . We deliver the WayMore Automation Workflow inventory (structured JSON documentation of each workflow's trigger, steps, conditions, and actions with a Power Automate rebuild recommendation) and the Segment inventory (each segment's dynamic rule, member count, and Dynamics 365 rebuild approach). We support a one-week post-cutover window for reconciliation of any record count discrepancies. We do not rebuild WayMore workflows as Power Automate flows or rebuild WayMore chatbots as Dynamics 365 Bot Framework integrations within the migration scope.
