Overview

What this migration involves

Actimo is an employee engagement platform built around internal communications, mobile-first training, and pulse surveys for non-desk workforces. Its data model centers on employee contacts enriched with engagement metrics, training completion records, and message activity logs. Freshsales is a sales CRM with separate Lead, Contact, Account, and Deal modules, Freddy AI contact scoring, multiple pipelines, and a Kanban-based pipeline view. The migration carries Actimo's contact records and engagement data into Freshsales Contact and custom fields, maps Actimo companies to Freshsales Accounts, and routes Actimo training and engagement data into Freshsales custom fields. Automated message flows, training paths, and survey logic cannot migrate — FlitStack AI exports Actimo workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for your Freshsales admin. The migration uses scoped read access on Actimo, preserving original create and update timestamps on Freshsales custom datetime fields, with a delta-pickup window capturing any records modified during cutover. This approach ensures referential integrity between Account and Contact records, maintains audit continuity through preserved timestamps, and provides a safety net for any late-stage changes occurring during the cutover window.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Actimo

What's pushing teams away

  • Limited API documentation makes automated migration and deep integration technically challenging
  • Pricing is per-active-user and not publicly published, creating uncertainty during vendor evaluation
  • Small review sample (12 Capterra reviews, 1 G2 review) makes independent validation difficult
  • Platform is narrowly focused on engagement and lacks CRM-style pipeline, deal, or account management objects
  • Competitors like Connecteam offer broader workforce management features at comparable or lower price points

Choosing

Freshsales logo

Freshsales

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry among major CRMs — the free tier supports up to 3 users and includes core CRM functionality before committing to per-seat pricing.
  • Built-in chat, email, and phone reduce reliance on third-party integrations for basic sales communication and contact management.
  • Freddy AI contact scoring and deal insights are included on Pro plans at a lower price than comparable HubSpot tiers.
  • Kanban pipeline views across Contacts, Accounts, and Deals provide visual deal management without requiring custom configuration.
  • Integration with the broader Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshchat, Freshservice) reduces tool sprawl for teams already using Freshworks.

Object mapping

How Actimo objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a Actimo object lands in Freshsales, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Actimo

Contact

maps to

Freshsales

Contact / Lead

1:many
Fully supported

Actimo contacts map to Freshsales Contact records by default. Contacts flagged as sales-ready or with active deals in Actimo can route to Freshsales Lead instead, preserving original engagement data on the record. FlitStack AI resolves the split by matching contact properties against your specified routing rules before migration.

Actimo

Company / Organization

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo company records map directly to Freshsales Accounts. Company name maps to Account Name; industry, employee count, and annual revenue map to standard Freshsales Account fields. If Actimo stores multiple contacts per company, the primary account association is set on each Contact record via the AccountId lookup.

Actimo

Engagement Score

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Number Field on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo engagement_score maps to a custom Number field on Freshsales Contact — Engagement_Score__c. Freshsales has no native equivalent to Actimo's engagement scoring methodology. The field must be created in Freshsales before migration begins, and FlitStack AI populates it with the numeric score extracted from Actimo's contact records during the load phase.

Actimo

Training Completion %

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Number Field on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo training_completion_rate maps to a custom Number field — Training_Completion_Rate__c — on Freshsales Contact. This stores the percentage of training content the employee has completed. Freshsales has no native training tracking module; the field supports reporting on workforce development post-migration.

Actimo

Message Activity (opens, clicks)

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Number Fields on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo message_open_count and message_click_count map to custom Number fields — Messages_Opened__c and Messages_Clicked__c — on Freshsales Contact. These preserve engagement volume from Actimo's internal communications tool so team leaders can review communication participation rates and click-through metrics directly within Freshsales after migration completes.

Actimo

Tags / Labels

maps to

Freshsales

Tags (Freshsales native)

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo tags map directly to Freshsales Tags, which are a native tagging construct available on Contact, Lead, Account, and Deal records. Tags migrate as-is without transformation. If tag names conflict with existing Freshsales tags, FlitStack AI appends a source prefix for disambiguation.

Actimo

Department

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Text Field on Contact / Account

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo department_name maps to a custom text field — Department__c — on Freshsales Contact. If department is stored at the company level in Actimo, it also populates Department__c on the associated Freshsales Account record for cross-object reporting queries that span both contacts and accounts within the same department filter.

Actimo

Last Engagement Date

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Date Field on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo last_engagement_date maps to a custom Date field — Last_Engagement_Date__c — on Freshsales Contact. This preserves the timestamp of the employee's most recent interaction with Actimo content, enabling churn-risk scoring and re-engagement workflow triggers in Freshsales based on inactivity windows.

Actimo

Training Paths / Learning Modules

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Text Field on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo assigned_training_paths map to a custom text field — Assigned_Training_Paths__c — on Freshsales Contact, storing the list of training modules assigned to each employee. Training content files themselves do not migrate to Freshsales; they remain in Actimo or are exported separately.

Actimo

Pulse Survey Responses

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Object or Custom Fields on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo survey response counts and engagement rates map to custom Number fields on Freshsales Contact — Survey_Responses__c and Survey_Engagement_Rate__c. Full survey question-and-answer history does not have a direct Freshsales equivalent; FlitStack AI exports survey data as a CSV reference file and documents the rebuild path in Freshsales Forms or a custom object.

Actimo

Owner / Manager

maps to

Freshsales

OwnerId on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo owner_id resolves to Freshsales OwnerId by matching the owner's email address against Freshsales user accounts. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration; your team either invites them to Freshsales first or assigns their records to a fallback owner. No contact lands in Freshsales without a resolved owner.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Actimo engagement and training data requires custom fields in Freshsales

    Freshsales has no native engagement score, training completion rate, or message activity fields. Actimo stores these as per-contact metrics, but Freshsales Contact records only support standard fields plus admin-created custom fields. Before migration, your Freshsales admin (or FlitStack AI on your behalf) must create custom Number and Date fields — Engagement_Score__c, Training_Completion_Rate__c, Messages_Opened__c, Last_Engagement_Date__c, and similar — on the Contact object. Migration will populate these fields from Actimo data. If custom fields are not pre-created, the migration plan flags them and sequences their creation before data loads.

  • Email uniqueness constraint can merge duplicate Actimo contacts into one Freshsales record

    Freshsales enforces a unique email constraint per Contact record. If Actimo holds multiple employee records with identical email addresses — for example, a contractor and a full-time employee sharing a work email — the Freshsales import will merge or reject duplicates during the load. FlitStack AI surfaces duplicate email conditions in the pre-migration data audit and applies your chosen rule: merge records, keep the most recently updated, or route duplicates to a separate Freshsales Lead for manual resolution. This step is mandatory before the migration runs to avoid silent data loss.

  • Training content files and learning modules do not migrate to Freshsales

    Actimo training modules, course files, and learning path content are managed inside Actimo's content management system. Freshsales has no content repository for training materials. FlitStack AI migrates the metadata — which training paths were assigned to each contact, completion percentages, and last training dates — as custom fields on the Contact record. The actual training content files must remain in Actimo, be exported separately, or be migrated to a dedicated learning management system. Your migration plan documents which training metadata migrates and where the content assets reside post-cutover.

  • Actimo automation flows and onboarding sequences do not transfer

    Actimo automates employee onboarding flows, scheduled message sequences, and pulse survey triggers. Freshsales has its own Workflow Automation builder for sequences, task assignments, and field-update rules, but the logic cannot be exported and reimported — it must be rebuilt manually. FlitStack AI exports Actimo workflow definitions as a reference document, noting each trigger, condition, and action sequence so your Freshsales admin can recreate the equivalent automation. This is the most manual part of any Actimo to Freshsales migration and should be scoped separately from the data migration effort.

  • Freshsales lifecycle stage routing may require contact reclassification after migration

    Freshsales uses lifecycle stages — Subscriber, Lead, MQL, SQL, Customer — to segment contacts and trigger automation. Actimo does not have an equivalent lifecycle field. After migration, all Actimo contacts land in a default lifecycle stage. FlitStack AI applies your specified default stage during migration, but lifecycle-stage-based workflows in Freshsales will need reconfiguration once contacts are loaded. Teams planning to use Freshsales Freddy AI scoring in combination with lifecycle stages should plan a post-migration reclassification run based on the engagement data migrated from Actimo.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Actimo to Freshsales data migration

  1. Pre-migration data audit and schema setup

    FlitStack AI pulls a full export of Actimo contacts, companies, engagement metrics, and training metadata via the Actimo API. The audit identifies duplicate email addresses, missing required fields, and custom engagement properties that need Freshsales custom fields created. We deliver a schema setup plan listing every custom field to create in Freshsales — field name, type, and target object — so your admin can provision them before the migration run. Active Actimo integrations are documented for disconnection at cutover.

  2. Owner resolution and Freshsales user matching

    Actimo owner and manager IDs are resolved by matching each owner's email address against Freshsales user accounts. FlitStack AI generates an owner resolution report listing matched users, unmatched owners, and the count of records affected by each. Your team either invites unmatched owners to Freshsales or assigns their records to a fallback owner before migration. No record loads into Freshsales without a valid OwnerId.

  3. Sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 100–500 Actimo records migrates to Freshsales first, spanning contacts across engagement tiers, companies with multiple contacts, and records with the full set of custom fields. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff showing source Actimo values and destination Freshsales field values side-by-side. You verify engagement score mapping, training completion field population, department field accuracy, and owner resolution before the full run commits. Approval of the sample migration sign-off is required before the full load begins.

  4. Full migration run and delta pickup

    Accounts load first in Freshsales, then Contacts, then the engagement and training custom fields on each Contact record. FlitStack AI preserves original Actimo create and update timestamps as custom datetime fields so reporting continuity is maintained. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Actimo records modified or created during the cutover. The audit log records every operation; one-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals data integrity issues.
