Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Wyvern Magic to Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales is a structured platform migration with a fundamentally different data architecture. Wyvern Magic stores pipeline and stage definitions as tenant-level configuration that we extract via REST before any record extraction begins. Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales (built on Dataverse) requires a matching Opportunity Record Type and Sales Process to be provisioned before deal records land. We sequence the migration so that pipeline configuration migrates first, then parent records (Accounts, Contacts), then dependent records (Opportunities with Line Items), then activity history. Workflows, automations, and reporting configurations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of Wyvern Magic workflow rules for the customer to rebuild in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales or Power Automate post-migration. Custom objects require destination schema provisioning before any data moves, and we handle the tenant-specific custom field mapping during the scoping phase rather than during cutover.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

What's pushing teams away

  • Niche fit — Wyvern Magic is built around marketing-led publishing/events workflows; teams in horizontal SaaS sales find features overweight in some areas and underweight in others.
  • Limited public API documentation and developer community make integration with modern HRIS/marketing stacks slow.
  • Marketing footprint is small; reviewers cite limited online reference material and procurement-readiness documentation.
  • Reporting depth, while described as comprehensive, is structured around the publishing/sponsorship use case rather than horizontal SaaS metrics.
  • Modernization pace is slower than category leaders; UI/UX trails newer CRMs.

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 Wyvern Magic objects map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Each row shows how a Wyvern Magic 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.

Wyvern Magic

Contact

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Wyvern Magic Contact records map directly to Dynamics 365 Contact. Standard fields (FullName, Email, Phone, Address) migrate 1:1. Wyvern Magic custom contact properties map to Dataverse extension columns that we pre-create using the type-inference step (text to nvarchar, number to decimal, picklist to option set). OwnerId resolves by matching Wyvern Magic owner email to Dynamics 365 User primaryemail.

Wyvern Magic

Company

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Wyvern Magic Company records map to Dynamics 365 Account. The Company domain field maps to Account Website and serves as the dedupe key during import. Industry, EmployeeCount, and any custom company properties migrate to matching Account fields or pre-created extension columns. Account is imported before Contact so that the AccountId lookup is satisfied at Contact insert time.

Wyvern Magic

Deal

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Wyvern Magic Deal records map to Dynamics 365 Opportunity. The Wyvern Magic dealstage property maps to a Dynamics 365 StageName that must exist in the Sales Process whitelisting before migration. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won reasons from Wyvern Magic custom properties become custom Loss Reason and Win Reason fields on Opportunity. Parent AccountId resolves from the Deal's associated Company mapping.

Wyvern Magic

Deal Stage

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Opportunity Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Wyvern Magic pipeline stages (with probabilities and order) map to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales Process stage values. We create the destination Sales Process in the Sandbox first, then configure StageName and StageProbability on each stage value. If Wyvern Magic uses multiple pipelines, we create multiple Record Types on Opportunity and map each pipeline to its corresponding Record Type.

Wyvern Magic

Lead

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Lead

1:1
Fully supported

Wyvern Magic Lead records map to Dynamics 365 Lead. Lead source, status, and rating migrate directly. If Wyvern Magic uses a custom lead scoring field, we create a custom field on the Dynamics 365 Lead entity to preserve the score. Lead OwnerId resolves by email match to the destination User table.

Wyvern Magic

Activity

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Task, Email, PhoneCall, Appointment

1:many
Fully supported

Wyvern Magic Activity records split by type discriminator into Dynamics 365 activity entities. Emails map to Email (with EmailDirection, Subject, Description, To, From). Calls map to PhoneCall (with PhoneNumber, Duration, Direction). Meetings and events map to Appointment (with Subject, Start, End, Location). Notes and tasks map to Task. All activities link to the resolved parent Contact or Lead via the Regarding (object) lookup after parent-record lookup resolution completes.

Wyvern Magic

User

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

User

1:1
Fully supported

Wyvern Magic Owner records map to Dynamics 365 User by email address. We extract every distinct owner referenced on Contact, Company, Deal, and Lead records and cross-reference against the destination User table. Owners without a matching User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before the parent record migration continues.

Wyvern Magic

Custom Object

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Entity

1:1
Fully supported

Wyvern Magic custom object schemas (tenant-specific) map to Dynamics 365 custom entities provisioned via Dataverse. We inspect the Wyvern Magic schema during scoping, generate the equivalent Dataverse entity definition (column types, relationships, required fields), deploy to Sandbox for validation, then import data during the production pass. Any lookup relationships between custom objects and standard objects are resolved after the standard object parent records exist.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Workflows and automations do not migrate between platforms

    Wyvern Magic property-triggered workflows and automation rules have no direct equivalent in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales or Power Automate without a complete redesign. We do not migrate workflows as code. We deliver a written inventory of every active Wyvern Magic workflow rule (trigger, conditions, actions, owner) with a recommended Power Automate equivalent, and the customer's admin rebuilds them post-migration. Sequences, sales engagement cadences, and enrollment rules do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales or a sales engagement add-on.

  • Address model differences require explicit consolidation

    Dynamics 365 Account and Contact support a single primary address per role (Billing, Shipping, Primary). Wyvern Magic may permit multiple addresses per record with different role assignments. During migration, we consolidate Wyvern Magic addresses by selecting the most recently updated or explicitly marked primary address for each role and map it to the corresponding Dynamics 365 address fields. Secondary addresses require a custom approach (additional address records, custom entity, or SharePoint-stored address history) that we document for the customer's admin to decide during scoping.

  • Parent-record lookup resolution must complete before dependent records

    Dynamics 365 requires AccountId on Contact, AccountId and ContactId on Opportunity, and Regarding (object) on Activity entities at insert time. We cannot import Opportunities or Activities before Accounts and Contacts exist in the destination. Wyvern Magic records frequently have dangling owner references or company associations that must be reconciled (owner email match, company domain match) before the dependent record migration phases begin. Migrations that attempt parallel imports without satisfying parent dependencies end with orphaned records and broken activity timelines.

  • Data quality issues in Wyvern Magic propagate if not addressed pre-migration

    Wyvern Magic tenants frequently accumulate duplicate Contacts, incomplete address records, and stale Deals with no updated timestamp. Migrating without pre-migration data quality assessment transfers these problems into Dynamics 365 from day one. We run a data quality assessment during scoping (duplicate detection on email and domain, completeness scoring on required fields, staleness scoring on Deals), deliver a remediation report, and recommend a deduplication pass before the production migration run begins.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and schema inventory

    We audit the Wyvern Magic tenant across custom properties, pipeline definitions, active workflow rules, owner assignments, and record volumes per object. We pair this with a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales edition assessment: Sales Professional ($65/user) covers most migrations without complex custom objects; Sales Enterprise ($105/user) is required if the customer needs advanced forecasting, conversation intelligence, or multi-org Dataverse architecture. The discovery output is a written migration scope document, a field-level mapping table, and a Dynamics 365 edition recommendation.

  2. Sandbox schema provisioning and pipeline configuration

    We create the destination schema in a Dynamics 365 Sandbox (or Dev environment). This includes provisioning custom entities for Wyvern Magic custom objects, creating custom columns for custom properties, creating Sales Process stage values matching the Wyvern Magic pipeline stages, and creating Record Types on Opportunity for each Wyvern Magic pipeline. The customer validates the schema before production migration begins.

  3. Data quality assessment and deduplication

    We run a data quality assessment against the Wyvern Magic source: duplicate detection on email and domain fields, required-field completeness scoring, and stale-record flagging. We deliver a remediation report and recommend a deduplication pass (record suppression or merge) before the production migration run. Skipping this step means duplicate Accounts, incomplete Contacts, and stale Opportunities land in Dynamics 365 on day one.

  4. Owner reconciliation and User provisioning

    We extract every distinct Wyvern Magic Owner referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Leads and match by email against the Dynamics 365 destination User table. Owners without a matching User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions any missing Users (active for current owners, inactive for departed owners if historical attribution is required). Migration cannot proceed past the parent record phase until all OwnerId references have a valid destination User.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Wyvern Magic Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Leads (with OwnerId resolved), Opportunities (with AccountId, ContactId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), Activity history (Tasks, Emails, PhoneCalls, Appointments via Dataverse batch API with parent-record resolution), Custom Objects (last, after all standard parent records exist). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff

    We freeze Wyvern Magic writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow and Automation inventory document to the customer's admin team for rebuild in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales workflows or Power Automate. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Wyvern Magic workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
