Overview
AgencyZoom organizes insurance-agency data around leads, companies, and deals within one pipeline model, storing producer IDs, carrier affiliations, and X-Dates as custom fields on each record. Freshsales separates Leads from Contacts and manages deals as Opportunities with a dedicated pipeline-and-stage model; it converts Leads to Contacts through a built-in conversion flow that preserves activity history. The migration carries everything AgencyZoom stores natively — leads, contacts, companies, deals, tasks, service tickets, and all custom fields — into Freshsales, where lifecycle stages route to Freshsales's native lifecycle field and insurance-specific properties land in custom fields. We surface pipeline-to-stage mapping, owner resolution by email match, and any value-mapping required for pick-list fields so nothing is lost in translation. Workflows and automations built in AgencyZoom do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Freshsales's workflow builder. During load, foreign key relationships are resolved by inserting Accounts first, then Leads, Contacts, and Opportunities in order so AccountId and PipelineId populate correctly. Original created_at timestamps are saved in a custom datetime field (Created_Source__c) to preserve record age. A delta‑pickup window captures any AgencyZoom changes during the run, and a full audit log records each write with source and destination IDs. All Freshsales custom fields (Producer_Name__c, Carrier__c, X_Date__c, etc.) are created beforehand using matching data types, and a pipeline‑to‑stage mapping table is delivered for post‑migration reference.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Agencyzoom 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.
Agencyzoom
Lead
Freshsales
Lead (Freshsales)
1:1AgencyZoom leads map directly to Freshsales Leads. Freshsales automatically converts a Lead to a Contact when the lead_status field is updated to 'Converted' — the activity history, original create date, and custom fields survive the conversion. Unconverted leads land as Freshsales Leads with all custom properties intact.
Agencyzoom
Contact
Freshsales
Contact (Freshsales)
1:1AgencyZoom contacts without a corresponding lead record map 1:1 to Freshsales Contacts. Freshsales Contacts store phone, email, address, and all custom properties on the same record. Multiple phone numbers on an AgencyZoom contact become separate phone-type custom fields in Freshsales.
Agencyzoom
Company
Freshsales
Account (Freshsales)
1:1AgencyZoom companies map to Freshsales Accounts. The Account record holds business-level data — name, domain, industry, employee count, annual revenue — while contacts link via AccountId. Carrier affiliation from AgencyZoom company properties migrates as a custom Account field in Freshsales.
Agencyzoom
Deal
Freshsales
Opportunity (Freshsales)
1:1AgencyZoom deals map to Freshsales Opportunities. The Opportunity stores deal name, amount, close date, stage probability, and owner. Pipeline and stage values from AgencyZoom require value-mapping to Freshsales pipeline stages, which are scoped per Freshsales pipeline object. Custom fields such as Policy_Type__c, X_Date__c, and Commission_Rate__c are migrated as Freshsales custom fields on the Opportunity, preserving data. The AgencyZoom created_at timestamp is saved in Created_Source__c to retain record age after migration.
Agencyzoom
Pipeline
Freshsales
Pipeline + Sales Process (Freshsales)
1:1AgencyZoom pipelines (Sales, Service, Onboarding) do not have a direct Freshsales equivalent because Freshsales pipelines are a configuration object rather than a data record. Each AgencyZoom pipeline maps to a named Freshsales Pipeline; the pipeline's stages become Freshsales stage pick-list values within that pipeline.
Agencyzoom
Pipeline Stage
Freshsales
Opportunity Stage (Freshsales)
1:1AgencyZoom stage names (New Lead, Quote Sent, Sold, Dead, Recycle, etc.) map value-by-value to Freshsales Opportunity Stage names. Stage probability percentages require manual re-entry in Freshsales Pipeline settings since probabilities are pipeline-level configuration, not field data. Each mapped stage keeps the same display order as in AgencyZoom, aligning Kanban columns with the workflow. Freshsales stage IDs are stored in the mapping table so Opportunity.PipelineId and StageId resolve correctly at import.
Agencyzoom
Custom Field
Freshsales
Custom Field (Freshsales)
1:1AgencyZoom exposes custom fields via the /custom-fields API endpoint. Insurance-specific fields — Producer, Carrier, X-Date, Lapse_Date, Policy_Type, Commission_Rate — are created as Freshsales custom fields before import. Field data types must match: date fields map to Freshsales date fields, numeric fields to number fields, and text to text fields.
Agencyzoom
Task / Activity
Freshsales
Task (Freshsales)
1:1AgencyZoom tasks map to Freshsales Tasks. Task subject, due date, status, priority, and owner resolve by email match. The parent record link (contact_id or deal_id) is preserved so each task is associated with the correct Freshsales Contact or Opportunity after migration.
Agencyzoom
Service Ticket
Freshsales
Task or Custom Object (Freshsales)
1:1AgencyZoom Service Center tickets include priority, status, assign_group, resolution_type, and loss_reason fields. Freshsales has no native service-desk object. Tickets migrate as Tasks with custom fields for priority, resolution status, and assign group. If Freshsales Enterprise is available, a custom Service_Ticket__c object can be created to preserve the full schema.
Agencyzoom
Note
Freshsales
Note (Freshsales)
1:1AgencyZoom notes map to Freshsales Notes. The note body, create date, and owner are preserved. Notes attached to a contact or deal retain their parent-record association in Freshsales so the activity timeline reflects the original context. HTML or plain‑text formatting is retained in Freshsales Notes, and inline images are extracted and re‑uploaded as linked attachments. The original created_at timestamp is saved in a custom datetime field to preserve record age.
Agencyzoom
User / Owner
Freshsales
User (Freshsales)
1:1AgencyZoom owner IDs resolve by email match against Freshsales users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — the agency either invites the user to Freshsales or assigns records to a fallback owner. No record lands without a valid Freshsales OwnerId on Opportunity and Task records.
Agencyzoom
Attachment / File
Freshsales
Attachment / File (Freshsales)
1:1Files attached to AgencyZoom records are downloaded and re-uploaded to Freshsales as Attachments linked to the corresponding Contact, Account, or Opportunity record. File size limits on Freshsales apply; inline images in notes are extracted and rehosted separately. File name and MIME type are stored in Freshsales Attachment metadata. Files exceeding Freshsales' size limit are linked to a storage URL. created_at timestamps are kept in a custom field for audit traceability.

File storage limits scale with plan tier
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Export AgencyZoom data and map pipeline-to-pipeline schema
FlitStack AI pulls leads, contacts, companies, deals, tasks, service tickets, and custom fields from AgencyZoom via the REST API using the extended nighttime rate limit window. We generate a data map that assigns each AgencyZoom pipeline (Sales, Service, Onboarding) to a corresponding Freshsales Pipeline record, and each AgencyZoom stage to a Freshsales Opportunity Stage within that pipeline. The map also lists all custom fields (Producer, Carrier, X-Date, Commission_Rate, Policy_Type, etc.) with their data types so Freshsales custom fields can be created in the correct format before import begins.
Set up Freshsales custom fields and pipelines
Before records load, your Freshsales admin (or our team) creates the custom fields identified in the data map — Producer_Name__c, Carrier__c, X_Date__c, Commission_Rate__c, Policy_Type__c, Resolution_Type__c, Loss_Reason__c — using Freshsales custom field settings. We also create the Freshsales Pipelines matching your AgencyZoom pipelines and configure stage names, probabilities, and forecast categories for each. This schema-first approach ensures Opportunity.PipelineId and Opportunity.Stage resolve correctly when records land.
Load leads, contacts, accounts, and deals in dependency order
Freshsales requires Accounts before Contacts (via AccountId) and Leads before Contacts (for the conversion flow). We sequence the migration: Accounts first, then Leads with lifecycle_stage and custom insurance fields, then Companies, then Opportunities with pipeline and stage mapping. Owner IDs resolve by email match to Freshsales users; unmatched owners are flagged for your team to invite or reassign. Service tickets load as Tasks with custom resolution fields. The original AgencyZoom created_at timestamps are preserved in custom datetime fields since Freshsales CreatedDate reflects the migration run date.
Run a sample migration and validate field-level accuracy
A representative slice of 100–500 records — spanning leads, contacts, accounts, deals, tasks, and service tickets — migrates to Freshsales first. We generate a field-level diff between the AgencyZoom CSV export and the Freshsales records so you can verify that Producer_Name__c, Carrier__c, X_Date__c, and pipeline stage values map correctly before the full run commits. Owner resolution is validated at this stage, and any unmapped pick-list values are identified for value-mapping setup.
Execute full migration with delta pickup and audit log
The full AgencyZoom dataset loads into Freshsales with a delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial load completes. Any records created or modified in AgencyZoom during the cutover are captured in the delta run so the Freshsales database reflects the final state at go-live. FlitStack AI maintains a full audit log of every record written, including the source record ID, destination record ID, field-level transformations applied, and the timestamp of each write. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails, reverting Freshsales to its pre-migration state.
