Overview
Advance Practice Management Suite is a healthcare practice management platform built around patients, appointments, procedures, insurance carriers, and billing records. Freshsales is a sales CRM built around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals — a fundamentally different data model. The migration therefore requires translating healthcare objects into CRM-native ones, with healthcare-specific fields (patient status, insurance group ID, CPT codes, authorization numbers) rebuilt as Freshsales custom fields on the appropriate objects. FlitStack AI connects to the source via API using scoped read access, extracts all standard and custom record types, and maps them to Freshsales Contacts (patients), Accounts (insurance carriers), Deals (billing invoices), and Tasks/Events (appointments). Procedure records require Freshsales custom modules on Enterprise plans — our migration engineer defines the schema before data lands. We preserve original create dates and owner assignments, resolve providers by email to Freshsales users, and surface the healthcare-specific fields that have no native Freshsales equivalent so your admin can pre-create the custom fields before the migration run. Workflows, appointment reminders, insurance verification rules, and billing automation from Advance Practice Management Suite do not migrate — those are destination-side logic that must be rebuilt in Freshsales using Tasks, automation rules, and custom field logic.
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 Advance Practice Management Suite 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.
Advance Practice Management Suite
Patient
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Advance Practice Management Suite patient records map to Freshsales Contacts. The primary insurance carrier on the patient record becomes the Contact's primary AccountId lookup. Social security numbers, if stored, migrate as a masked custom field (SSN_Last4__c) rather than the full value. Patient status (active, inactive, deceased) maps to a custom pick-list field (Patient_Status__c) on the Contact.
Advance Practice Management Suite
Appointment
Freshsales
Task / Event
1:1Freshsales has no native appointment scheduling grid. Appointment records migrate as Freshsales Tasks (for to-do style items) or Events (for time-blocked activities), with a custom activity-type pick-list distinguishing follow-up, procedure, consultation, and other appointment categories. Original appointment date, time, duration, provider, and location are preserved as custom fields on the activity record.
Advance Practice Management Suite
Procedure Record
Freshsales
Custom Module (Freshsales Enterprise)
1:1Freshsales has no native procedure object. On Enterprise plans, FlitStack's migration engineer creates a custom Procedure_Module with fields for procedure code (CPT), diagnosis code (ICD), description, cost, authorization number, provider, and date performed. The procedure record links to the patient Contact via a custom lookup relationship. Non-Enterprise setups receive procedures as a custom multi-line text field on the Contact for reference.
Advance Practice Management Suite
Insurance Carrier
Freshsales
Account
1:1Insurance carriers map directly to Freshsales Accounts. The carrier name becomes Account Name, address maps to billing address fields, and phone maps to phone. Group ID, member ID, and payer ID are stored as custom fields on the Account (Insurance_Group_ID__c, Insurance_Member_ID__c, Payer_ID__c). Carrier-to-patient relationships are preserved via Contact.AccountId.
Advance Practice Management Suite
Billing Record / Invoice
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Advance Practice Management Suite invoices become Freshsales Deals. Invoice number maps to Deal Name, total amount maps to Deal Amount, and invoice date maps to Close Date. Billing status (paid, pending, denied, appeal) maps to a custom pick-list field (Billing_Status__c) on the Deal. Outstanding balance becomes a custom currency field (Outstanding_Balance__c). The Deal is linked to the patient Contact and the primary insurance carrier Account.
Advance Practice Management Suite
Referring Provider
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Referring physicians and providers map to Freshsales Contacts with a custom pick-list field (Contact_Type__c) set to 'Referring Provider'. Provider name, specialty, phone, and email map to the standard Contact fields. NPI number and state license number are stored as custom text fields (NPI__c, State_License__c). The referring provider Contact is associated to the patient Contact via a custom lookup or the patient's Referring_Provider__c field.
Advance Practice Management Suite
Patient Document / Attachment
Freshsales
Freshsales Files
1:1Documents attached to patient records (consent forms, insurance cards, clinical documents) re-upload to Freshsales Files and are linked to the patient Contact record. File size limits per Freshsales apply — documents over the default limit are flagged for manual handling. Inline images in notes are downloaded and rehosted.
Advance Practice Management Suite
Patient Note / Clinical Note
Freshsales
Note (Freshsales Notes)
1:1Clinical notes and patient annotations migrate as Freshsales Notes linked to the Contact record. Original note date and author are preserved in custom datetime and text fields on the Note. Rich-text formatting is maintained where the source format is compatible.
Advance Practice Management Suite
Insurance Verification Record
Freshsales
Custom Field on Account
1:1Insurance eligibility verification results and coverage status checks have no native Freshsales equivalent. These details are stored as custom fields on the insurance carrier Account record, including Eligibility_Status__c for current eligibility standing, Eligibility_Effective_Date__c for the coverage start date, and Eligibility_Termination_Date__c for when coverage expires.
Advance Practice Management Suite
Patient Owner / Responsible Staff
Freshsales
Owner (Freshsales User)
1:1Staff members assigned as patient owners in Advance Practice Management Suite are resolved by email match against Freshsales users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — the team either creates Freshsales users for them or assigns records to a fallback owner. No record lands in Freshsales without an assigned user.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Advance Practice Management Suite data model and design Freshsales schema
FlitStack AI connects to Advance Practice Management Suite via scoped read-only API access and audits the full data model — all standard objects (patients, appointments, procedures, insurance carriers, billing records), every custom field, and the relationships between them. We identify healthcare-specific fields with no Freshsales native equivalent and design the custom field schema (Patient_Status__c, Insurance_Group_ID__c, CPT_Code__c, etc.) and custom module definition for procedures. The audit produces a migration plan document identifying the Freshsales plan tier required, the custom field count per object, and any data quality issues (duplicate carriers, missing required fields, orphaned records) that need resolution before migration.
Resolve providers and staff by email against Freshsales users
Advance Practice Management Suite provider and staff assignments on patient records, appointments, and procedures are resolved by email match against existing Freshsales users. Provider names that do not yet have Freshsales user accounts are flagged before migration — your team either creates Freshsales users for them first or assigns their records to a designated fallback owner. No patient Contact, appointment Task, or procedure record lands in Freshsales without a resolved owner assignment.
Migrate insurance carriers before patients, then billing and appointments
Freshsales requires Accounts to exist before Contacts can reference them via AccountId. We sequence the migration so insurance carriers migrate first as Accounts, then patients migrate as Contacts with AccountId lookups pointing to the correct carrier. Billing records (invoices) migrate as Deals linked to the patient Contact and primary insurance Account. Appointments migrate as Tasks with custom activity type, provider, and location fields. This foreign-key sequencing ensures every lookup relationship resolves correctly in Freshsales before the full run commits.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample (typically 50–100 records spanning patients, appointments, procedures, insurance carriers, and billing records) migrates to Freshsales first. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination field values, verifying that CPT codes, insurance group IDs, authorization numbers, patient status, and billing status all landed correctly in their custom fields. You verify the sample before the full run proceeds. Any mapping corrections are applied to the migration engine before the cutover.
Cut over with delta-pickup window and export workflow definitions
The full migration runs against Freshsales. During the cutover, your Advance Practice Management Suite account remains fully operational — FlitStack uses scoped read access only. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any patient records, appointments, or billing entries created or modified during the migration run. FlitStack also exports Advance Practice Management Suite workflow definitions as a structured reference document so your Freshsales admin can rebuild appointment reminder rules, insurance verification automations, and billing alert logic in Freshsales automation rules. An audit log captures every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues.
