Overview

What this migration involves

Weave stores healthcare communication data — patients, phone calls, text messages, appointment reminders, and payments — in a HIPAA-compliant platform designed for dental, veterinary, and medical practices. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales stores business data — accounts, contacts, leads, and opportunities — on the Dataverse platform with Power Platform extensibility. The data models are fundamentally different: Weave optimizes for patient communication workflows, while Dynamics 365 Sales optimizes for sales pipeline management with deep Microsoft 365 integration. FlitStack AI migrates your Weave records into Dynamics 365 Sales by mapping patients to contacts, communication histories to activity records, and appointment data to tasks or custom entities on Dataverse. We preserve original create dates, owner assignments, and message content during the migration. Workflows — automated appointment reminders, patient intake sequences, and communication templates — do not migrate and must be rebuilt using Dynamics 365 Sales automation tools or Power Automate. We extract Weave data via the Weave API, transform field names and data types to match Dynamics 365 Sales schema conventions, and load through the Dataverse Web API. A 24-48 hour delta-pickup window captures records modified during cutover.

Weave

What's pushing teams away

  • Software plateaued and stopped evolving with practice needs; features stagnated while competitors added AI and automation capabilities.
  • Customer support became inconsistent over time, with longer response times and difficulty reaching knowledgeable staff for technical issues.
  • Cost became difficult to justify as the practice grew and the feature set no longer matched the increasing monthly spend.
  • Customization limitations frustrated practices with unique workflows that could not be adapted within Weave's opinionated structure.

Choosing

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 Weave objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a Weave 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.

Weave

Patient

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Weave patients map to Dynamics 365 Sales Contacts. The patient's primary location, contact preferences, and HIPAA consent flags migrate as custom fields on the Contact record. Phone numbers and email addresses transfer directly to the Contact phone and email fields.

Weave

Patient Location/Address

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

CustomerAddress

1:1
Fully supported

Weave stores patient addresses per location. Each address pair migrates as a Dynamics 365 CustomerAddress record linked to the Contact, preserving address type (billing, shipping, home) and the associated location identifier from Weave. For multi-location practices, each clinic location creates a separate address entry with its own type classification and location reference, maintaining the full geographic context from the original Weave dataset.

Weave

Appointment

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Weave appointments map to Dynamics 365 Tasks or custom Dataverse Appointment entities. The appointment subject, scheduled time, and assigned staff member migrate as Task Subject, Due Date, and Owner respectively. Appointment status (confirmed, completed, no-show) maps to Task StatusCode values.

Weave

Phone Call Log

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

PhoneCall (Activity)

1:1
Fully supported

Weave call logs preserve call direction (inbound/outbound), duration, timestamp, and recording reference. These migrate as Dynamics 365 PhoneCall activity records with the Subject, Duration, and actual Start time populated from the Weave call log. Call recording URLs or file references transfer as notes attached to the PhoneCall activity, maintaining access to the original audio for audit and quality assurance purposes.

Weave

Text Message

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Email (Activity) or Custom Entity

1:1
Fully supported

Weave text messages migrate as Email activities in Dynamics 365 Sales for audit trail purposes. The message body, timestamp, and direction transfer as Subject prefix ('SMS Incoming' or 'SMS Outgoing'), Description, and Created On. Alternatively, messages can land in a custom Dataverse SMSLog entity if configured.

Weave

Payment/Invoice

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Invoice (or Custom Entity)

1:1
Fully supported

Weave payment records have no direct Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent outside of the Sales module's Invoice entity. If the practice uses Dynamics 365 Sales for billing, payments map to Invoice records. Otherwise, payments migrate as a custom PaymentHistory custom entity on Dataverse linked to the Contact.

Weave

User/Staff Member

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

SystemUser

1:1
Fully supported

Weave staff members (dentists, hygienists, front desk) resolve to Dynamics 365 Sales SystemUser records by email match. Unmatched staff members are flagged before migration so the practice can create their Dynamics user accounts or assign records to a fallback owner.

Weave

Intake Form Response

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Entity (IntakeResponse)

1:1
Fully supported

Weave intake form data — medical history, insurance information, consent signatures — has no standard Dynamics 365 equivalent. We create a custom IntakeResponse Dataverse entity with fields for each intake question, linked to the Contact record via a lookup relationship.

Weave

Insurance Information

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Entity (InsuranceDetail)

1:1
Fully supported

Patient insurance carriers, policy numbers, group numbers, and coverage details from Weave migrate as a custom InsuranceDetail Dataverse entity. Fields include InsuranceCarrier, PolicyNumber, GroupNumber, EffectiveDate, and RelationshipToInsured, linked to the Contact.

Weave

Appointment Reminder/Recall

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Entity (RecallTask) or Task

1:1
Fully supported

Weave's automated appointment reminders and recall campaigns have no direct Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. These records preserve as a custom RecallTask entity or migrate as Future-dated Tasks for reference, but the automated sending logic must be rebuilt using Power Automate or Dynamics 365 Sales Accelerator. The custom RecallTask entity approach preserves the scheduled reminder logic as data rather than automation, making it straightforward to rebuild the sending workflows within the Microsoft ecosystem.

Weave

Communication Template

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Email Template (no_equivalent for automation)

1:1
Fully supported

Weave text and email templates migrate as Dynamics 365 Email Template records for manual reuse. The template body and subject transfer, but automated trigger logic (send on appointment confirmation, send 24 hours before) must be rebuilt in Power Automate flows.

Weave

Review Request

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Entity (ReviewRequest)

1:1
Fully supported

Weave's automatic Google review request triggers have no Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. Review request history migrates as a custom ReviewRequest entity linked to the Contact for reference, but the automated sending mechanism requires a separate rebuild. The migrated ReviewRequest records preserve request dates, patient links, and review platform identifiers for post-migration reconciliation and future workflow integration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Weave's HIPAA compliance model has no Dataverse equivalent and requires manual verification

    Weave is marketed as a HIPAA-compliant platform with audit logging and secure messaging specifically designed for healthcare. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales runs on Dataverse, which supports HIPAA compliance through Microsoft 365 compliance center configuration, but the platform itself does not enforce healthcare-specific audit requirements by default. When migrating patient communication logs, appointment histories, and medical notes from Weave, your Dynamics 365 administrator must explicitly configure audit settings on the Dataverse tables (Contact, Task, custom entities) to capture the same field-level change history. FlitStack preserves the Weave data but cannot configure Microsoft 365 compliance center policies — those must be enabled separately in the destination tenant before data lands.

  • Weave's automated reminders and recall sequences cannot be migrated to Dynamics 365 Sales automation

    Weave's appointment reminders (24-hour, 1-hour SMS confirmations) and recall campaigns (6-month hygiene reminders) are configured as automated triggers within the Weave platform. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales has no native equivalent — automated patient outreach requires building Power Automate flows or enabling Sales Accelerator sequences. FlitStack migrates the Weave appointment and recall data as static records (Tasks or custom RecallTask entities), preserving the scheduled dates and patient links for reference. However, the automated sending logic must be rebuilt in Power Automate, using the migrated recall dates as the flow trigger conditions. This is disclosed upfront so practices budget time for the Power Automate build phase after migration.

  • Weave's practice management integrations (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental) break at migration

    Weave integrates bidirectionally with practice management systems used by dental and medical offices. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales does not have native connectors for Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental. When migrating to Dynamics 365, the practice management integration must be replaced — either through a third-party integration tool (such as Zapier, Power Automate, or a dedicated healthcare connector) or by rebuilding the workflow using Dynamics 365 and Power Platform. FlitStack migrates the patient data and communication history, but the practice management synchronization (scheduling sync, treatment notes, insurance claims data) requires a separate integration project post-migration.

  • Dynamics 365 Sales Professional caps custom Dataverse tables at 15 tables

    Dynamics 365 Sales Professional licensing imposes a limit of 15 custom Dataverse tables (entities). Weave migrations for healthcare practices typically require multiple custom entities: InsuranceDetail, IntakeResponse, RecallTask, ReviewRequest, and potentially more for specialty fields. If the practice uses Sales Professional licensing, exceeding 15 custom tables requires either upgrading to Sales Enterprise or removing non-critical custom entities. FlitStack surfaces the custom entity count during the planning phase and flags whether the destination licensing tier supports the required schema before migration begins.

  • Weave text message content may be truncated or require Dataverse note attachment

    Weave stores SMS message bodies as text fields in their communication log. Dynamics 365 Sales Email activity Description field has a 16,000-character limit, which is typically sufficient for SMS content. However, if Weave stores long-form text conversations or multi-message threads, the migration maps each individual SMS as a separate Email activity record with a subject prefix indicating direction and timestamp. For practices with extended text conversations (treatment plan discussions, multi-day confirmations), the message chain is preserved as a series of linked Email activities ordered by timestamp, maintaining conversation context within Dynamics 365 Sales.

Migration approach

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

  1. Audit Weave data export and map to Dynamics 365 Dataverse schema

    FlitStack connects to Weave via API to inventory all patients, appointments, communications, payments, and custom intake fields. We generate a data dictionary from the Weave export and map each field to either a standard Dynamics 365 Sales entity (Contact, Task, PhoneCall) or a custom Dataverse table (InsuranceDetail, IntakeResponse, RecallTask). The mapping plan is shared with the practice for approval before migration begins, with explicit documentation of what maps directly, what requires custom fields, and what has no Dynamics 365 equivalent and will be preserved as reference data.

  2. Configure Dynamics 365 Sales environment and custom Dataverse entities

    Before data moves, the Dynamics 365 administrator (or FlitStack's team) creates the custom Dataverse entities, fields, and pick-list values required for the Weave migration. This includes InsuranceDetail__c, IntakeResponse__c, RecallTask__c, and ReviewRequest__c entities, plus custom fields on Contact (HIPAA_Consent_Date__c, Original_Create_Date__c, Source_System_ID__c, Preferred_Contact_Method__c). FlitStack delivers a schema setup plan listing every entity and field to create, the data type for each, and the source Weave field feeding it.

  3. Resolve Weave staff members to Dynamics 365 Sales users by email match

    Weave staff members (providers, front desk, billing) are matched against Dynamics 365 Sales SystemUser records by email address. FlitStack generates a pre-migration owner resolution report showing matched users, unmatched users, and unassigned records. The practice either creates Dynamics user accounts for unmatched staff before migration or designates a fallback owner for their records. No patient record or appointment lands in Dynamics 365 without a resolved owner.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff on a representative data slice

    A representative sample — typically 100-500 records spanning patients, appointments, call logs, text messages, and a few intake forms — migrates into the Dynamics 365 sandbox environment first. FlitStack produces a field-level diff comparing the Weave source values against the Dynamics 365 destination values for every mapped field. The practice reviews the diff to verify patient data accuracy, appointment date mapping, owner resolution, and custom field population before the full migration is authorized.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback capability

    The full Weave dataset migrates into the production Dynamics 365 Sales environment via the Dataverse Web API. A delta-pickup window (24-48 hours) runs concurrently, capturing any Weave records modified during the cutover period. FlitStack generates an audit log for every record operation (create, update, link), and one-click rollback is available if post-migration reconciliation reveals data integrity issues. After delta-pickup closes, the migration is considered complete and the practice transitions to Dynamics 365 Sales as the system of record.
