Overview

What this migration involves

AeronaClinic stores patient records, appointments, providers, treatment plans, clinical notes, and billing transactions as a unified practice-management graph. Freshsales (Freshworks CRM) uses a standard sales CRM object model — Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Tasks, and Events — with Freshsales-specific modules available on Pro and Enterprise plans. The two models diverge significantly: AeronaClinic has no native equivalent to Freshsales Deals or Sales Activities; appointment records do not map to Freshsales Events without a custom-date transformation; treatment-plan line items and procedure codes require a custom module or custom fields on Contacts. We extract AeronaClinic data via its export API and CSV output, normalize patient demographics into Freshsales Contacts, map providers to Freshsales Users, and translate appointment slots into Freshsales Tasks with original start/end timestamps. Workflows, automated reminders, and patient-portal logic cannot migrate — Freshsales has no equivalent to AeronaClinic's appointment-reminder engine. We run a sample migration with field-level diff before the full cutover so your team validates every mapping before data lands in Freshsales.

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

AeronaClinic

What's pushing teams away

  • Some practices find the feature set narrower than larger platforms like Dentrix Ascend or CareStack, reporting that advanced clinical workflows or specialist modules require third-party workarounds.
  • The lack of a mobile application means practitioners who want to chart or check schedules from a phone or tablet report friction compared to mobile-first alternatives.
  • Clinics with multiple locations or complex multi-practitioner setups report that reporting and analytics tools, while functional, are less flexible than what spreadsheet-based analysis can deliver.
  • Users occasionally cite the learning curve for staff unfamiliar with cloud-based interfaces, particularly for features like KPI dashboards and automated reporting that replace legacy paper or spreadsheet workflows.

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 AeronaClinic objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a AeronaClinic 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.

AeronaClinic

Patient

maps to

Freshsales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic Patient maps directly to Freshsales Contact. First name, last name, email, phone, address, date of birth, and gender transfer as standard contact fields. The original AeronaClinic patient ID is preserved in Source_System_ID__c for traceability and delta-run de-duplication. This custom field also enables accurate record linking during incremental syncs after the initial migration, ensuring no duplicate patients are created when the source system continues to receive updates.

AeronaClinic

Patient

maps to

Freshsales

Lead

1:1
Fully supported

Patients who have not yet booked a treatment appointment (referral-only records, inquiry records) map to Freshsales Lead. Name, email, phone, and referring-provider fields transfer; status defaults to 'New Lead' in Freshsales unless a conversion rule is pre-defined. If your sales process defines specific lead stages for referral sources, we map those to corresponding Freshsales lead status values during migration, preserving the original referral type for reporting.

AeronaClinic

Appointment

maps to

Freshsales

Task

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic appointments become Freshsales Tasks with Task Type set to 'Appointment'. Original appointment start time, end time, and provider owner map to Freshsales Task Due Date, Subject, and Owner respectively. The appointment status (confirmed, completed, no-show) maps to a custom pick-list field since Freshsales Tasks have no appointment-specific status.

AeronaClinic

Appointment

maps to

Freshsales

Event

1:1
Fully supported

For appointments with specific time slots and calendar requirements, AeronaClinic appointments map to Freshsales Events (Freshsales Pro and Enterprise). Event Subject, Start Date/Time, End Date/Time, and Assigned User transfer. All-day flag and reminder settings require Freshsales workflow recreation. If your clinic relies on all-day events or recurring reminders, we capture the original flags in custom fields (All_Day_Event__c, Reminder_Flag__c) so your Freshsales admin can configure the appropriate workflow triggers post-migration.

AeronaClinic

Provider

maps to

Freshsales

User

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic providers (dentists, hygienists, practice managers) resolve by email match to Freshsales Users. Provider role in AeronaClinic (e.g., Principal Dentist) maps to a custom text field on the Freshsales User record. If a provider email has no Freshsales user match, records are assigned to a fallback owner flagged before migration.

AeronaClinic

Treatment Plan

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Module (Enterprise) / Custom Fields on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic treatment plans (procedure codes, tooth surfaces, materials, fees) have no Freshsales native equivalent. On Enterprise plans this maps to a Freshsales Custom Module named 'Treatment_Plan__rv'. On Growth/Pro plans, treatment plan fields become custom fields on the Contact record: Treatment_Plan_Status__c, Procedure_Code__c, Estimated_Fee__c.

AeronaClinic

Clinical Note

maps to

Freshsales

Note

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic clinical notes (per-appointment clinical observations, clinical flags, medical history flags) migrate as Freshsales Notes attached to the Contact record. Notes preserve the original timestamp and provider owner. Long-form clinical notes that exceed Freshsales Notes character limits are split across multiple note records with a sequence prefix.

AeronaClinic

Invoice / Billing Record

maps to

Freshsales

Deal Product (on Deal)

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic invoice line items (procedure, fee, payment status) map to Freshsales Deal Products linked to a Deal. A Deal named after the patient's active treatment plan is created; invoice totals map to the Deal Amount. Outstanding balance maps to a custom field as Freshsales Deals do not track payment installment schedules natively.

AeronaClinic

Patient Portal / Recall

maps to

Freshsales

Freshsales Workflow (manual rebuild)

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic patient portal settings and recall/automated reminder logic have no Freshsales equivalent — Freshsales Workflows handle task creation but not patient-facing appointment reminders or recall sequences. We export the recall configuration as a reference document for your Freshsales admin to rebuild using Freshsales Workflows or Freshmarketer (available via Freshsales Suite upgrade).

AeronaClinic

Custom Clinic Fields

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Fields on standard objects

1:1
Fully supported

Any custom fields configured in AeronaClinic (e.g., referral source, insurance provider, preferred appointment time) migrate as Freshsales custom fields on the relevant object. Field data type is preserved: text to text, pick-list to pick-list, date to date. Freshsales custom fields are created during the pre-migration schema setup phase.

AeronaClinic

Practice Location

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic multi-location setups: each clinic location becomes a Freshsales Account record with name, address, and phone. Patients are linked to their primary clinic via AccountId on the Contact record. Provider schedules can be associated with the Account record via custom fields.

AeronaClinic

Document / File Attachment

maps to

Freshsales

Freshsales File

1:1
Fully supported

Patient documents attached to AeronaClinic records (treatment consent forms, imaging references) are downloaded and re-uploaded as Freshsales Files, linked to the Contact record. File size limits: Freshsales Growth/Pro allow up to 5GB per user; Enterprise allows 100GB per user. We also preserve the original file name and upload timestamp as metadata fields, ensuring your team can verify the source and date of each document after migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • AeronaClinic appointment-reminder logic has no Freshsales equivalent

    AeronaClinic's built-in appointment reminder engine sends SMS and email reminders based on patient-contact preferences and recall intervals. Freshsales Workflows can create Tasks automatically but cannot send patient-facing SMS/email reminders without a Freshsales Suite upgrade and third-party SMS integration. We preserve reminder settings as custom fields on Contact records (Reminder_Preference__c, Recall_Interval_Days__c) so your admin can configure Freshsales Workflows or Freshmarketer journeys to replicate the recall logic after migration. Failure to rebuild this logic means patients stop receiving automated reminders at cutover — this is a high-severity operational risk that must be addressed before go-live.

  • AeronaClinic treatment plans require Enterprise Custom Modules or custom fields on Contacts

    AeronaClinic treatment plans store procedure codes, tooth surfaces, materials, and estimated fees as structured line items. Freshsales has no native Treatment Plan object — this data must be stored in Freshsales Custom Modules (available on Enterprise plan only) or as custom fields on the Contact record. If your clinic runs the Growth or Pro plan, treatment plan details collapse into flat custom fields on Contact: Procedure_Code__c, Tooth_Surface__c, Material__c, Estimated_Fee__c, Treatment_Status__c. We surface this schema decision during planning so you can confirm your Freshsales plan before data lands.

  • Freshsales API rate limits vary by plan — Growth caps at 1,000 req/hr

    Freshsales applies tiered API rate limits: Growth plan allows 1,000 requests per hour, Pro allows 2,000/hr, and Enterprise allows 5,000/hr (Freshworks Developer Docs, Rate Limits and Constraints). Large clinics with 10,000+ patient records face extended migration windows on Growth plan. We manage request pacing automatically, implement 429-retry logic with exponential backoff, and recommend Pro or Enterprise for migrations exceeding 5,000 records to keep cutover time within the delta-pickup window. If you are on Growth, we coordinate migration in off-peak hours to avoid hitting limits during business hours.

  • Multi-location AeronaClinic setups require Account-to-Contact linking decisions

    AeronaClinic multi-site practices store a primary_clinic_id on each patient record. Freshsales Contacts have a single primary AccountId — additional clinic associations require Freshsales Account Contact Relationships or a custom junction object. We map the primary clinic as AccountId on Contact and surface secondary locations as a custom multi-select pick-list (Additional_Locations__c). If your clinic groups patients under a parent holding company Account, we configure the parent Account hierarchy before migration so subsidiary locations are correctly nested.

  • Patient recall and portal login credentials do not transfer

    AeronaClinic Patient Portal uses internal authentication tied to the AeronaClinic platform. Patient portal login credentials, treatment plan PDFs generated within AeronaClinic, and e-signature records on consent forms have no Freshsales equivalent and cannot be migrated. We migrate the underlying consent data as Note attachments and preserve the e-signature timestamp, but patients must receive new Freshsales Suite portal credentials if you activate Freshsales CRM's client-facing modules. This is disclosed in the migration plan before the full run commits.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful AeronaClinic to Freshsales data migration

  1. Discover AeronaClinic schema and define Freshsales target schema

    FlitStack AI reads the AeronaClinic export API output and identifies every object, field, and relationship in the source. We generate a schema mapping plan that names the Freshsales objects and fields each AeronaClinic entity maps to — including custom field names, pick-list values, and the decision between Custom Modules (Enterprise) vs. custom fields on Contacts (Growth/Pro). This plan is shared with your team for approval before any data movement begins. We also identify records that lack a destination equivalent and document them as no_equivalent items needing manual handling.

  2. Resolve AeronaClinic providers to Freshsales users by email

    FlitStack AI matches AeronaClinic provider records to Freshsales users by email address. Any provider with no corresponding Freshsales user is flagged before migration — your team either creates the Freshsales user first or assigns those providers' records (appointments, notes, treatment plans) to a designated fallback user. No appointment, note, or clinical record lands without a valid Freshsales owner. Provider-to-user resolution is validated in the sample migration phase before the full run.

  3. Migrate contacts and leads first, then accounts and locations

    Freshsales requires a valid AccountId on Contact records for most reporting features. We sequence the migration so Account records (clinic locations) are created first, then Contacts are migrated with AccountId populated from the resolved location. For patients without a primary clinic assignment, we create an 'Unassigned' Account record. Appointment records follow Contacts so they can link to the correct Contact and Owner. Treatment plans and invoices are migrated last, after the Contact and Deal records they reference are in place.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff before full cutover

    FlitStack AI migrates a representative slice — typically 100–500 records covering patients, appointments, providers, treatment plans, and invoices — and generates a field-level diff report. You can verify that patient IDs map to Source_System_ID__c, appointment timestamps are preserved, treatment plan status values translated correctly, and provider ownership resolved. The diff report highlights any field where source and destination values differ, so you confirm mappings before the full migration run commits. If the sample reveals a mapping error, we adjust the plan and re-run the sample.

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

    The full migration runs against Freshsales using the validated mapping plan. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in AeronaClinic during the cutover — your team keeps working in AeronaClinic throughout this period. FlitStack AI logs every create, update, and link operation to an audit log. If reconciliation reveals a data integrity issue, one-click rollback reverts the Freshsales environment to its pre-migration state. After rollback confirmation, you decide whether to proceed with a corrected mapping or re-run.
