What gets migrated
Apto object support
Object-by-object support for Apto migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts are the primary object in Apto's data model. We migrate all standard contact fields (name, phone, email, address, notes) and preserve associations to Deals and Properties. No known schema quirks at this time.
Companies/Accounts
Fully supportedCompany or Account records are migrated as full objects with their associated contact links intact. We map the company name and any custom company-level fields during the import.
Deals
Mapping requiredDeals track real estate transactions and carry pipeline stage, value, and owner assignment. Pipeline stage names vary between Apto instances; we remap them to the destination stage names during migration and flag any missing stages.
Properties
Mapping requiredProperty records hold listing data including address, type, status, and price. Status values differ across brokerages; we map them to destination equivalents and flag any custom property fields for manual review.
Listings
Mapping requiredListings are linked to Properties and include listing date, MLS data, and agent assignment. We preserve the listing-to-property relationship and map agent assignments to destination owner records.
Activities/Tasks
Mapping requiredActivities track showings, calls, emails, and notes tied to contacts or deals. We migrate activity history as a linked record set, preserving timestamps and owner assignment, though custom activity types may need field mapping.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields on any object are migrated but require schema discovery before import. We pull the field definitions during scoping and generate a mapping table for approval before loading.
Attachments
Not in this platformBinary attachments are not migrated via standard export. We provide a file inventory report listing attachment locations so the brokerage can manually transfer documents post-migration.
