Overview
Zurple is a real estate client generation platform that combines lead capture with automated nurture sequences and a pipeline view built for individual agents. Dynamics 365 Sales is a general CRM that stores data across Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, and custom tables backed by Microsoft Dataverse. These models diverge significantly: Zurple's flat contact record holds conversation logs, IDX visitor data, and automated message history in one object, while Dynamics separates these into Activities, Notes, and custom entities. We migrate all standard records — contacts, companies, pipeline data, activities, notes, and attachments — plus custom fields. Zurple automations, nurture sequences, and IDX website configurations do not migrate; those must be rebuilt in Dynamics or via Power Automate. We handle the technical complexity: extracting via Zurple's API, transforming field names and data types, mapping owner emails to Dynamics users, and loading through Dataverse bulk import or web API. Accounts migrate first so Contacts resolve their parent lookups, Leads split by source type, and Opportunities attach to the correct Contact records via relationship tables. A delta window at cutover captures in-flight changes, and our field-level diff lets you validate mapping accuracy before the full migration commits.
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 Zurple 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.
Zurple
Contact (Lead)
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Lead / Contact
1:manyZurple contacts without a closed transaction route to Dynamics 365 Sales as Leads. Contacts that represent past clients (closed transactions in Zurple) migrate as Dynamics Contacts under their parent Account. We apply a transaction-status split rule to determine the correct destination object at migration time.
Zurple
Company
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Account
1:1Zurple company records map directly to Dynamics 365 Sales Accounts. Address, phone, website, and industry fields translate to Account.Address1, Account.Telephone, Account.WebsiteURL, and Account.Industry. Multiple contacts sharing the same company in Zurple collapse to one Account with multiple Contact records referencing it.
Zurple
Pipeline / Stage
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity + Business Process Flow
1:1Zurple pipeline stages map to Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunity Stage values. Each Zurple pipeline becomes a separate Opportunity record type or a Business Process Flow so stage pick-lists stay scoped correctly. Stage-entered timestamps migrate as custom datetime fields for historical reporting continuity.
Zurple
Deal / Opportunity
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Opportunity
1:1Zurple deal records map to Dynamics 365 Sales Opportunities. Deal name, amount, stage, close date, and owner transfer directly. Currency fields in Zurple use deal-level currency; Dynamics Opportunity.AmountUSD requires explicit currency mapping if multi-currency data exists. We apply currency conversion using your configured exchange rates, or preserve the original currency field in a custom column if multi-currency data needs to remain visible.
Zurple
Conversation / Activity Log
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Activity (Task / Email / Appointment)
1:1Zurple conversation events (sent emails, SMS, auto-responses) map to Dynamics Tasks with Type='Email' or Type='Phone'. Meeting-type conversations map to Dynamics Appointments. Original timestamps, owner, and linked contact are preserved. Conversation content migrates as notes on the task for audit trail continuity.
Zurple
Note
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Annotation
1:1Zurple notes on contacts or deals migrate to Dynamics 365 Sales Annotations. The Annotation object stores note body text, created-on timestamp, and owner. If notes contain file attachments, those extract and re-upload as Dynamics Notes attachments under the same parent record.
Zurple
Attachment / File
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
ActivityMimeAttachment / SharePoint (if configured)
1:1Zurple file attachments on records extract, download, and re-upload to Dynamics 365 Sales ActivityMimeAttachment entities linked to the corresponding Activity. If your Dynamics instance uses SharePoint for document management, we upload files to the appropriate SharePoint location linked via the entity's document references.
Zurple
User / Agent
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
SystemUser
1:1Zurple agent users resolve by email against Dynamics 365 Sales SystemUser records. We match on email address first; unmatched agents flag before migration so you can invite them to Dynamics or assign to a fallback owner. Unresolved owners receive all records assigned to that fallback during migration.
Zurple
Custom Property
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Column (Dataverse)
1:1Zurple custom properties migrate as custom columns in Dynamics 365 Sales Dataverse. Every custom property requires a corresponding custom column created in the destination environment before migration runs. We deliver a schema setup plan listing each custom column name, data type, and pick-list options so your Dynamics admin can pre-create the fields.
Zurple
Lead Score / Ranking
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Number Column on Lead
1:1Zurple's lead scoring or ranking metric migrates to a custom integer field on the Dynamics Lead entity. Score values and any threshold-based ranking tiers transfer as pick-list or integer fields. This data does not drive Dynamics lead scoring logic — it surfaces as informational context for sales reps.
Zurple
IDX Visitor / Property Interest
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Entity / Custom Column
1:1Zurple's real estate-specific data (viewed properties, IDX search criteria, MLS interests) has no native Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. We map these to custom columns on Contact or a custom Dataverse table with a lookup to Contact. Your admin defines the form layout after migration.
Zurple
Source Campaign / Lead Source
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
LeadSource on Lead / Contact
1:1Zurple lead source tags (Google Ads, organic, referral) map to Dynamics 365 Sales Lead.LeadSource pick-list. If your Zurple setup uses custom source taxonomy, we map those values to the closest standard LeadSource option or a custom pick-list column on the Lead entity.
Zurple
Tag / Label
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Custom Column or Note
1:1Zurple contact tags have no direct Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. We preserve all tags as a custom text column (comma-separated) on the Contact record. Tags that represent categorical segmentation can alternatively map to a custom pick-list if you define the value set before migration.
Zurple
Nurture Sequence / Workflow
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales
Power Automate (not migrated — must be rebuilt)
1:1Zurple's automated nurture sequences (Conversations™) are behavioral automation logic with no Dynamics 365 Sales equivalent. These cannot migrate. We export your sequence definitions as a configuration reference so your Power Automate developer can rebuild equivalent flows post-migration using the exported triggers and contact event data.

Migration approach
Extract Zurple data via API and enumerate custom properties
We authenticate to Zurple's API and extract all standard objects (contacts, companies, deals, activities, notes, attachments) using paginated exports. We enumerate every custom property defined in your Zurple account — each becomes a candidate for custom Dataverse column creation. We also export nurture sequence definitions as a reference document for your Power Automate rebuild. All raw data lands in a staging environment before transformation begins.
Build Dynamics 365 Sales schema plan and resolve owner mapping
We analyze your Dynamics 365 Sales environment and build a schema setup plan listing every custom column needed, data type for each, pick-list values for option-set fields, and relationships between custom tables. Simultaneously, we run email-based owner resolution against your Dynamics SystemUser table — any agent without a corresponding user account flags for you to provision or reassign. We do not begin data loading until the schema plan is approved and all owners resolve.
Migrate Accounts before Contacts, then Leads and Opportunities
Dynamics 365 Sales enforces referential integrity — Accounts must exist before Contacts reference them, and Contacts must exist before Opportunities link via Contact Roles. We sequence the migration accordingly: Accounts first, then Contacts and Leads split by status, then Opportunities with their Contact Role associations. Attachments and Notes load after their parent records. Custom fields load in the same pass as their parent records.
Run sample migration with field-level diff before full commit
A representative slice of records (typically 100–500) migrates first, spanning contacts, accounts, deals, and activities. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field. You review the diff to confirm lead-to-contact split logic, stage mapping, owner resolution, and custom field population before the full migration runs. No full commit occurs until you approve the sample diff.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback readiness
Full migration runs against your Dynamics 365 Sales production environment. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after initial load captures any records created or modified in Zurple during the cutover period. All operations log to an audit trail. If reconciliation fails, one-click rollback reverts all migrated records to their pre-migration state. Post-migration, we deliver a summary report showing record counts, any skipped records, and the field-level validation results.
