Overview
Ascent360 organizes data around guest Profiles, Segments, and Campaigns for hospitality operators; Freshsales is a general SMB CRM with Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals. The migration is a data model transformation, not a record copy. Guest Profiles from Ascent360 map to Freshsales Contacts (or Leads for unqualified prospects) with every standard field and custom property carried into typed Freshsales custom fields. Segment memberships transfer as Tags or multi-select picklist values so audience groupings survive cutover. Address data from Ascent360's enriched Profiles populates Freshsales' standard address fields. Campaign performance metrics (open rates, click rates, delivery rates) are delivered as a structured export for the customer's admin to reimport into Freshsales reports. Ascent360's automations, workflow sequences, and campaign templates do not export and are documented for rebuild in Freshsales.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Ascent360 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.
Ascent360
Profile (Guest/Contact)
Freshsales
Contact or Lead (split based on qualification)
1:1Ascent360 guest Profiles map to Freshsales Contact for qualified guests (customers, members, past visitors) and to Freshsales Lead for new or unqualified contacts (inquiry-stage, event attendee). We use Ascent360's profile status, segment membership, and lifetime value to determine qualification. All standard fields (name, email, phone, company) map directly. Custom Profile Properties transfer to Freshsales custom fields on Contact or Lead, which we pre-create during schema design. Ascent360's daily enrichment data (last stay date, total spend, visit frequency) migrates as read-only derived fields in custom fields on the destination record.
Ascent360
Profile Address
Freshsales
Contact Address Fields
1:1Ascent360 enriches guest Profiles with address data sourced from PMS, POS, or direct input. This address populates Freshsales' standard address compound field (Street, City, State, Postal Code, Country). We normalize address formatting during transform to match Freshsales field structure. Direct mail campaign associations (which segment of a guest list is tied to a mail drop) are preserved as Tags on the Contact record.
Ascent360
Segment
Freshsales
Tag or Filter-based View
1:1Ascent360 Segments define audiences using criteria like purchase history, lifetime value tier, demographics, and preferences. Segment logic does not export as executable rules. We extract the full member list for each Segment and write each member-to-segment relationship as a Tag on the corresponding Contact or Lead record in Freshsales. For segments with complex multi-criteria logic, we document the segment definition and deliver a written guide for recreating the audience as a Freshsales filter-based view or dynamic list.
Ascent360
Tag/Label
Freshsales
Tag
1:1Ascent360 tags applied to Profiles for classification (loyalty tier, room preference, interests, source channel) migrate directly as Freshsales Tags on the Contact or Lead record. Tags are preserved intact so that sales and service teams can immediately filter by the same audience groupings used in Ascent360 marketing campaigns.
Ascent360
Campaign Performance Metrics
Freshsales
Custom Report Data (via import)
1:1Ascent360 stores open rates, click rates, delivery rates, and conversion data per campaign. We extract this as a structured CSV export. Because Freshsales' native reporting covers pipeline and activity metrics rather than historical email campaign performance, we deliver the campaign metrics as an importable CSV mapped to a custom object (Campaign_History__c) with fields for campaign_name, send_date, open_rate, click_rate, and conversion. The customer's admin can connect this to Freshsales reports or maintain it as a reference sheet.
Ascent360
Source Integration Reference
Freshsales
Custom Field on Contact
1:1Ascent360's 150+ integrations (Shopify, WooCommerce, PMS systems, POS systems) are connection credentials, not data objects to migrate. We extract the integration name and last sync date for each connected source and record it as a custom field on the Contact (e.g., last_pos_sync__c, source_system__c) so that the service history of each guest record reflects where their data originated.
Ascent360
Custom Profile Property
Freshsales
Custom Field (Contact or Lead)
lossyAscent360 allows customers to define custom fields on Profiles. These fields are sometimes excluded from standard bulk export unless specifically requested. We run a pre-migration field audit against a sample export provided by Ascent360 to identify every active custom property. Each field is then pre-created in Freshsales with the matching field type (text, number, date, picklist, multi-select) before migration begins. Any missing fields in the initial export are flagged and a corrected export is requested from Ascent360 before we proceed to load.
Ascent360
Abandoned Cart Event Log
Freshsales
Custom Field or Note on Contact
1:1Abandoned cart recovery campaigns in Ascent360 are tied to eCommerce integration events. The campaign automation logic does not export. We extract the event log (which contacts were in an active abandoned-cart flow at migration time) and record this as a custom field (abandoned_cart_date__c, abandoned_cart_value__c) or a timestamped Note on the Contact so that the sales team can follow up on uncompleted bookings. The customer rebuilds the abandoned-cart automation in Freshsales Workflows post-migration.

Migration approach
Submit data export request to Ascent360
We submit a formal data export request to Ascent360 support on the customer's behalf, authorizing the release of Profiles, Segments, campaign performance metrics, tags, and custom property definitions. We request a sample export (50-100 records) first for field audit, then the full export after audit sign-off. Lead time is typically three to ten business days. While waiting, we begin Freshsales schema design in parallel.
Audit sample export and design Freshsales schema
We inspect the sample export for all active standard fields, custom Profile Properties, segment memberships, and integration references. We identify any fields missing from the sample and request corrected exports. We design the Freshsales schema: pre-creating custom fields on Contact and Lead to match every Ascent360 custom property, configuring Tags to match segment names, and creating a custom Campaign_History__c object for campaign metrics. The schema design is validated in a Freshsales sandbox or trial environment before production.
Define qualification split logic
We work with the customer to define how Ascent360 guest Profiles split into Freshsales Leads and Contacts. We use segment membership, lifetime value thresholds, and profile activity to establish a rule set. All profiles matching the qualified criteria migrate as Contacts; all others migrate as Leads. We document the rule and apply it as the first transform during migration. The customer approves the split logic before migration begins.
Cleanse and transform data
We clean the full export: removing duplicates (deduped by email address), normalizing address formatting, resolving any null or placeholder values, and applying the qualification split. Tags are written for each segment membership. Integration source references are extracted and written to custom fields. Campaign performance metrics are structured into the Campaign_History__c CSV format. The transform output is reconciled against the source record count before load.
Import into Freshsales
We import in dependency order: Contacts and Leads first (with Account lookups resolved), then Tags and custom field values, then Campaign_History__c records. Imports use Freshsales' CSV import tool or the API depending on volume. We validate record counts after each import phase. Any records rejected by Freshsales validation rules are held in a correction queue, fixed, and reimported. A final reconciliation report compares source counts to destination counts per object.
Cutover and automation handoff
We freeze Ascent360 writes during cutover, run a final delta import of any records modified during the migration window, then deliver the completed migration to the customer's Freshsales admin. We deliver the automation-rebuild guide documenting every active Ascent360 automation with Freshsales Workflow equivalents, and the segment-rebuild guide with filter logic for recreating each audience. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuilds, Freshsales Workflow setup, and admin training are outside standard migration scope.
