Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from AllClients to Salesforce is a structural upgrade for teams that have outgrown the per-seat and per-contact pricing caps of AllClients Select and Premium. AllClients uses a flat Contact object with Tags, Custom Fields, and a separate Notes.csv export; Salesforce uses a Lead/Contact/Account hierarchy with native Notes, Topics, and a typed custom field system. We extract AllClients contact data via the built-in CSV export, join the Notes.csv back to the main contact set using email as the matching key, map AllClients Custom Fields to Salesforce custom fields with equivalent data types, and import through the Salesforce Bulk API with parent-record resolution for the Account-to-Contact relationship. Workflow sequences from AllClients migrate as inactive templates because AllClients does not expose workflow execution state or enrollment records. We do not migrate Landing Pages, Popup Forms, or Active Campaign histories; we deliver a written inventory of these objects for the customer's admin to evaluate and rebuild in Salesforce.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

AllClients logo

AllClients

What's pushing teams away

  • Very low per-user ceiling — Premium caps at 2 users, and even Elite requires paid add-ons for additional seats, making the platform impractical as teams grow beyond a couple of people.
  • Add-on pricing stack accumulates quickly: contact count packs, email credit top-ups, SMS provider connection, and extra users can push a $24 base plan to $150+ monthly.
  • Limited third-party integrations beyond Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier — businesses with established tech stacks find AllClients difficult to connect to their existing tools.
  • The platform has not gained significant market traction (30k customers over 20 years is a small base), limiting the availability of community knowledge, plugins, and experienced consultants.
  • Advanced features like marketing automation, landing pages, and AI-powered features are gated behind the $48+ Premium tier, making the base tier feel underpowered for businesses ready to scale.

Choosing

Salesforce Sales Cloud logo

Salesforce Sales Cloud

What's pulling them in

  • The AppExchange marketplace with 5,000+ prebuilt apps gives enterprises integrations for nearly every business workflow without custom development.
  • Native Einstein AI for lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting adds intelligence without a separate platform purchase.
  • Territory management, multi-currency support, and advanced forecasting satisfy the needs of complex B2B sales organizations with structured revenue teams.
  • Slack, Tableau, and CPQ are deeply integrated into the core platform, keeping the sales stack unified for teams already in the Salesforce ecosystem.
  • Organizations with a large, established Salesforce implementation choose it because switching costs — integrations, custom code, trained admins — are prohibitive.

Object mapping

How AllClients objects map to Salesforce Sales Cloud

Each row shows how a AllClients object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

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

AllClients

Contact

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Lead or Contact (split by qualification)

1:many
Fully supported

AllClients does not have a separate Lead object; all records are Contacts. We apply a qualification split during migration: Contacts with a deal association, assigned sales owner, or explicit qualification flag map to Salesforce Contact attached to an Account. Contacts without those indicators map to Salesforce Lead. We preserve the original AllClients contact ID in a custom field allclients_contact_id__c on both Lead and Contact for reconciliation.

AllClients

Contact

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

For AllClients Contacts that qualify as Salesforce Contacts (existing deal or explicit qualification), we create Salesforce Contact records attached to Accounts. The Account is either created from the AllClients contact's company name or resolved against an existing Account if a match by name or domain exists. AccountId resolution is the critical dependency step before Contact insert.

AllClients

Account

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Account

1:1
Fully supported

AllClients does not have a standalone Account object; company data lives on the Contact record. We extract distinct company names from AllClients Contact records and create Salesforce Account records as a parent lookup table before importing Contacts. Company address fields on the AllClients Contact map to the Account BillingAddress.

AllClients

Contact Notes

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Note

1:1
Mapping required

AllClients exports Notes as a separate Notes.csv file with a contact reference (email or ID). We join Notes.csv to the main Contact export using email as the matching key, then create Salesforce Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent Contact or Lead. If a contact email changed between exports, the join produces orphans that we flag for manual review.

AllClients

Custom Fields

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

AllClients Custom Field definitions are discovered during scoping via the account settings export. Each AllClients custom field maps to a Salesforce custom field of the equivalent data type (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox). We pre-create the Salesforce custom fields in the destination org before migration. Multi-select picklists in AllClients map to Salesforce multi-select picklist fields.

AllClients

Tags

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Multi-Select Picklist or Topic

lossy
Fully supported

AllClients Tags are comma-separated values on the Contact record. We map them to a Salesforce custom multi-select picklist field (preferred for CRM filtering) or to Salesforce Topics with TopicAssignment records (preferred for reporting). The customer chooses the strategy during scoping. We do not map Tags to the standard Salesforce Tags object because it is deprecated for most orgs.

AllClients

Groups / Workgroups

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Multi-Select Picklist

lossy
Mapping required

AllClients Groups are logical contact collections with no independent export. We capture group membership by filtering the contact export by each group's criteria, then store group names as a custom multi-select picklist value on the Contact record. This preserves the group semantics without requiring a separate custom object.

AllClients

Workflow

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Flow (inactive template)

lossy
Fully supported

AllClients Workflows do not export execution state or enrollment records. We capture the workflow definition (triggers, conditions, delays, email and task actions) as a written specification and recreate it as an inactive Salesforce Flow. The customer or their Salesforce admin enables and adjusts the Flow post-migration. Contacts already enrolled in AllClients workflow sequences will not carry their enrollment status.

AllClients

Email Template

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

EmailTemplate

1:1
Fully supported

AllClients Email Templates export as HTML blobs from the Email Marketing section. We import them into Salesforce as Salesforce Classic Email Templates or Lightning Email Templates depending on the customer's destination org type. Inline images export as external URLs and are re-hosted or linked by reference. We preserve template name and subject for reuse in Salesforce Flow email actions.

AllClients

Campaign

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Campaign + CampaignMember

1:1
Fully supported

AllClients Campaigns represent scheduled email sends linked to contact segments. Campaign history (send dates, open rates) is metadata that does not export as a discrete object. We migrate campaign names and linked contact segments to Salesforce Campaign records with the segment contacts added as CampaignMembers. Send and open rate metadata is noted in the handoff document for manual reporting reconstruction.

AllClients

Task / Follow-up Reminder

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Task

1:1
Fully supported

AllClients Tasks created within contact records or workflow sequences export as rows in the main contact CSV with task title, due date, and completion status. We create Salesforce Task records linked to the parent Contact or Lead. Completed tasks preserve their Completed status; future-scheduled tasks preserve their due date. Overdue tasks from AllClients do not carry a Salesforce reminder date automatically; we map the AllClients due date to Salesforce ActivityDate.

AllClients

File Attachments

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

ContentVersion + ContentDocumentLink

1:1
Mapping required

AllClients file attachments associated with Contact records are downloaded from AllClients storage and uploaded to Salesforce as ContentVersion records. Each file receives a ContentDocumentLink to the parent Contact or Lead record. Large binary files are chunked to avoid timeout during upload. We preserve the original filename and file type metadata.

AllClients

Users / Owners

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

User

1:1
Mapping required

AllClients user lists are typically small (1-2 on base plans). We capture Name, Email, and role assignment from the user export. Owner assignment on AllClients Contact records maps to Salesforce OwnerId by resolving the owner's email against the destination org's User table. Users without a Salesforce User match go to a reconciliation queue for admin provisioning before Contact import.

AllClients

Landing Pages and Popup Forms

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

N/A

1:1
Not supported

AllClients Landing Pages and Popup Forms are Premium and Elite tier features with no API export. We skip these objects and flag them in the handoff document as requiring rebuild in Salesforce Experience Cloud, Web-to-Lead, or a third-party form tool. Form submission history does not migrate.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Notes.csv requires email-based rejoin to main contact export

    AllClients provides two separate exports: Contact.csv and Notes.csv. Notes are not inline with the contact record. We join Notes.csv to the main contact set using email address as the matching key before importing into Salesforce as Note records linked to Contact or Lead. If a contact's email has changed between exports or if multiple contacts share the same email address, the join produces duplicate Note records or orphaned Notes that we flag for manual review. We validate the rejoin ratio during scoping and alert the customer if more than 2 percent of Notes fail to match.

  • AllClients workflow enrollment state does not migrate

    AllClients does not expose workflow execution state, active enrollment records, or historical run data via any export mechanism. When we migrate AllClients Workflows, we capture the workflow definition (triggers, conditions, delays, actions) as a written specification and recreate it as an inactive Salesforce Flow template. Any contacts currently enrolled in an active AllClients workflow will not carry their enrollment status, step position, or remaining delay into Salesforce. We notify the customer of this gap and recommend re-enrolling high-priority contacts manually or via a Salesforce Flow immediately after migration.

  • AllClients Custom Field types must map to Salesforce equivalents

    AllClients Custom Fields have basic type definitions (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox) but no public API schema specification. We discover all custom field definitions during scoping and map them to Salesforce custom fields of the equivalent type. If AllClients uses a freeform text field to store date values, we detect the date pattern during data profiling and map it to a Salesforce Date field with a format transformation. Mismatched field types at import cause Salesforce validation rule failures that block the record insert. We validate type mapping with a sample load in sandbox before production import.

  • Salesforce validation rules and field-level security block bulk imports

    Salesforce orgs commonly enforce required field rules, picklist whitelists, conditional requireds, and formula validation rules that can reject 5-30 percent of records on a first import attempt. We coordinate with the customer's Salesforce admin to grant the migration service account Modify All Data and API Enabled permissions, and we either temporarily disable active validation rules during the load or add a migration-context bypass check to each rule. Without this step, records with missing required fields or out-of-range picklist values fail silently or with partial error logs.

  • Landing Pages and Popup Forms have no export path from AllClients

    AllClients Landing Pages and Popup Forms are available on Premium and Elite tiers but are not exposed via any API or export mechanism. Form fields, submission data, and lead capture history cannot be programmatically extracted. We skip these objects during migration and flag them in the handoff document with a recommendation to rebuild in Salesforce Experience Cloud, Web-to-Lead, or a third-party form tool such as Typeform or JotForm. Any historical form submission data in AllClients is lost unless the customer manually exports it before cancellation.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful AllClients to Salesforce Sales Cloud data migration

  1. Discovery and data export

    We audit the source AllClients account for contact volume, active custom field definitions, tag vocabulary, workflow count and complexity, email template count, campaign history, and file attachment volume. We extract Contact.csv and Notes.csv from the Data Migration menu, download email templates as HTML blobs, and capture the user list. We validate the Notes.csv rejoin ratio early (emails matched to contacts) and alert the customer if more than 2 percent of notes fail to join. We also review the AllClients tier to confirm contact count limits are not blocking the export.

  2. Schema design in Salesforce

    We design the destination Salesforce schema: custom fields matching AllClients custom field types, a custom multi-select picklist for Tags, a custom multi-select picklist for Group membership, and custom fields for AllClients metadata (allclients_contact_id__c, allclients_created_date__c, allclients_tags__c). We configure the Lead and Contact split rule based on whether the AllClients contact has an associated deal or sales owner. Schema is deployed via metadata API into a Salesforce Sandbox first for validation.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Leads in, Accounts in, Notes in), spot-checks 25-50 records against the AllClients source, and validates that custom fields populated correctly. The Notes rejoin quality is reviewed here. Any mapping corrections happen in sandbox before production migration begins.

  4. Owner reconciliation and User provisioning

    We extract every distinct AllClients user referenced as an owner on contact records and match by email against the destination Salesforce org's User table. Users without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users before record import resumes. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard object inserts.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (manual provisioning validated), Accounts (aggregated from distinct company names on AllClients contacts), Notes.csv rejoined to contacts, Contacts/Leads (with AccountId resolved, OwnerId resolved, and Tags populated), Notes (linked to Contacts and Leads via ContentDocumentLink), Tasks, Email Templates, Campaigns, and Custom Object equivalents. Custom field data loads last after Salesforce custom fields are confirmed to exist. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and handoff

    We freeze AllClients writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of AllClients Workflows, Landing Pages, Popup Forms, and Campaign histories with recommended Salesforce equivalents for the customer's admin to evaluate. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild AllClients Workflows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

AllClients

Source

Strengths

  • Integrated CRM and email marketing in a single subscription without requiring separate tools
  • Simple CSV-based export and import process gives customers direct access to their data
  • White Label program for agencies and consultants who want to rebrand the platform for their clients
  • Low-cost entry tier makes it viable for independent consultants and very small businesses
  • Responsive US-based support cited positively in user reviews

Weaknesses

  • Aggressive per-seat and per-contact pricing caps that drive add-on costs as teams grow
  • No documented bulk API — all migration relies on CSV export/import, limiting throughput for large datasets
  • Workflow engine is opaque and cannot export execution state or historical run data
  • Small market footprint means limited community resources, third-party plugins, and developer ecosystem
  • Landing pages, forms, and some automation features are gated behind higher tiers with no API access

Strengths

  • Largest enterprise app ecosystem in CRM with 5,000+ AppExchange integrations covering nearly every vertical workflow.
  • Native Einstein AI delivers lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting without a third-party layer.
  • Advanced territory management, multi-currency, and flexible forecasting satisfy complex B2B revenue structures.
  • Deep platform extensibility: Custom Objects, Apex, Flow, and the Metadata API allow full schema customization.
  • Well-documented REST API, Bulk API, and Composite API with published rate limits for programmatic migration.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is layered and opaque in practice: per-seat fees plus storage overages, add-on subscriptions, and annual uplifts compound to 30–40% above sticker price.
  • Workflow Rules and Process Builder are deprecated, forcing all orgs onto Salesforce Flow — a migration task that catches many teams by surprise.
  • Steep administrative complexity: meaningful configuration requires a dedicated Salesforce admin or consultant.
  • API rate limits are edition-gated (100k/day base for Enterprise) and easily exhausted by large historical imports without throttling.
  • Data export is exportable via Data Loader but preserving relationship integrity across 30+ objects requires careful ETL sequencing.

Migrations under 5,000 Contacts with no custom objects land between three and five weeks. Migrations at or near AllClients tier contact caps (1,500-5,000 contacts) with multiple Custom Fields, tag-heavy data, and large notes histories move to eight to twelve weeks because of the Notes.csv rejoin validation, custom field type mapping, and Account-Contact parent-record resolution work. The primary variable is data volume and custom field count rather than record count alone.
