Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Boostr to Salesforce Sales Cloud is a schema translation, not a direct record copy. Boostr's data model centers on Advertisers, Campaigns, Proposals, and Orders with a combined OMS layer — objects that do not map one-to-one to Salesforce's Account-Contact-Opportunity model. We resolve this by mapping Boostr Advertisers to Salesforce Accounts, Proposals to Opportunities in a Draft or Proposal stage, and confirmed Orders to Opportunities in Closed Won, preserving the Proposal-to-Order lifecycle that media sales teams use to track deal progression from pitch to booking. Ad inventory line items (placements, formats, impression targets, CPM rates) require custom field flattening or a custom line-item object because Salesforce Opportunity does not natively support nested line-item hierarchies. Boostr has no documented public API, so migration scoping begins with a manual CSV export coordination session with the customer's Boostr admin. We do not migrate Boostr workflows, GAM push integrations, or automations; we deliver a written inventory of active workflows and connected apps for the customer's admin to rebuild and reconfigure post-migration.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Boostr logo

Boostr

What's pushing teams away

  • Manual activity tracking is required — Boostr does not automatically log sales engagement actions, forcing reps to enter data by hand.
  • Gmail integration covers only basic activity logging with no sequence or outreach automation, frustrating reps used to embedded sales engagement tools.
  • Teams report that inventory management workflows break down when dealing with multi-channel or custom ad unit configurations.
  • The platform's narrow media focus means it cannot function as a general-purpose CRM for non-advertising business units within the same company.
  • Integration with GAM works for straightforward flows but becomes unreliable when edits need to be pushed back to the ad server after initial sync.

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 Boostr objects map to Salesforce Sales Cloud

Each row shows how a Boostr 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.

Boostr

Advertiser

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr Advertisers are the buyer accounts in the media data model, roughly equivalent to Companies/Accounts in Salesforce. We map Advertiser fields (company name, industry, address, contact information) to Salesforce Account fields and use Advertiser name as the dedupe key. Custom properties on the Advertiser (such as agency relationships, advertiser type, or billing terms) map to Salesforce custom fields on Account. Boostr Advertiser status (Active, Inactive) maps to an Account custom field since Salesforce does not have a native account status object.

Boostr

Campaign

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Campaign

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr Campaigns group multiple Proposals and Orders under a single media campaign umbrella. We preserve Campaign-to-Proposal and Campaign-to-Order relationships by mapping Campaign metadata to Salesforce Campaign and storing cross-reference IDs in custom fields on the linked Opportunities. Campaign start and end dates, budget, and targeting notes map to Campaign StartDate, EndDate, BudgetedCost, and custom description fields.

Boostr

Proposal

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Opportunity (Draft stage)

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr Proposals are distinct from Orders — a Proposal represents an offer sent to the advertiser before an order is confirmed. We map Proposals to Salesforce Opportunity with a custom stage value (Proposal or Prospecting) and preserve the proposal-line-item pricing as custom fields or in a custom Proposal Line Item object. The Proposal-to-Order relationship is stored as a custom field on the Opportunity for audit. Boostr Proposal status (Draft, Sent, Revised, Accepted, Declined) maps to a custom Opportunity status field since Salesforce stage names are not granular enough to capture this lifecycle.

Boostr

Order

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Opportunity (Closed Won)

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr Orders are the booked, confirmed commercial agreements — the core transactional record in Boostr's OMS. We map Orders to Salesforce Opportunity in a Closed Won stage with the Order number stored as a custom Opportunity field and Order date stored as CloseDate. The Order-to-Advertiser relationship maps to Opportunity AccountId. If the customer also has a Proposal record linked to this Order, we preserve that reference via the custom Proposal field on the Opportunity.

Boostr

Ad Inventory Unit

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Line Item object or custom Opportunity fields

1:many
Fully supported

Boostr captures ad inventory as structured line items per Order — placement, format, dates, impression target, CPM rate, and unit count. Salesforce Opportunity does not natively support nested line-item hierarchies. We design one of two strategies during scoping: (a) a custom Ad_Inventory_Item__c object with a lookup to the parent Opportunity and fields for placement, format, start_date, end_date, impressions_target, cpm, units, and total_revenue, or (b) a flattened set of custom fields on the Opportunity itself. The choice depends on the customer's line-item volume and reporting needs. We document the chosen strategy in the mapping spec.

Boostr

Revenue Record

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Opportunity Amount or custom revenue fields

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr tracks revenue at the Order and line-item level. Revenue figures, revenue type (Gross, Net, Agency), and billing status migrate to Opportunity Amount (standard) and custom revenue type and billing status fields. For multi-line Orders, we sum line-item revenue into the Opportunity Amount and store the breakdown in the custom Line Item object. Revenue dates migrate to Opportunity CloseDate or custom billing period fields.

Boostr

Pipeline Stage

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Opportunity Stage

lossy
Fully supported

Boostr's configurable pipeline stages (Prospect, Proposal, Negotiating, Booked, etc.) follow a standard media sales lifecycle. We replicate the customer's stage labels and probabilities into Salesforce Opportunity StageName and StageProbability. Stage mapping is validated in Sandbox before production migration begins. If Boostr uses a multi-stage workflow that does not map cleanly to Salesforce's flat stage list, we use a custom Opportunity status field to capture the additional granularity.

Boostr

User (Owner)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

User

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr User records including names, roles, and team assignments map to Salesforce User by email match. Any Boostr User without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Boostr's role hierarchy maps to Salesforce Role hierarchy if the destination org uses roles for territory management.

Boostr

Custom Properties (Advertiser-level)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Account custom fields

lossy
Fully supported

Boostr supports custom fields on Advertisers, Campaigns, Orders, and other objects. We discover the full custom field schema during scoping, including any custom field types (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox). Each custom field maps to a Salesforce custom field of the equivalent type. Boostr custom fields with agency relationships, billing terms, or media category tags become Account custom fields. Custom properties that apply to Orders become Opportunity or custom Line Item custom fields depending on the chosen line-item strategy.

Boostr

Custom Properties (Order/Line Item-level)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Opportunity or custom Line Item custom fields

lossy
Fully supported

Boostr Order-level custom fields (such as billing terms, insertion order references, or third-party trafficking notes) map to Opportunity custom fields. Line-item-level custom properties map to the custom Line Item object's custom fields. We pre-create the destination schema — including all custom fields, field-level security, and validation rules — in a Salesforce Sandbox before any data import begins.

Boostr

Integrations and Connected Apps

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

None — documented for rebuild

1:1
Not supported

Boostr's GAM (Google Ad Manager) push integration and any other OAuth-connected apps are platform-specific connections that cannot be replicated in Salesforce. We document the active integrations during discovery (including OAuth scopes, GAM property IDs, and sync direction) and include a reconnection checklist in the post-migration handoff. The customer must re-establish these OAuth connections in their ad ops stack post-migration. This is not a data migration issue but a configuration step that must be planned for separately.

Boostr

Activity (manual engagement logs)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Task and Event

1:1
Fully supported

Boostr's manual activity logs (calls, meetings, tasks entered by reps) migrate to Salesforce Task and Event records. Because Boostr does not automatically capture engagement history, the volume of historical activities depends on how consistently reps entered data. We extract Boostr activity records by date range during the CSV export session and map them to Salesforce Task (for calls and tasks) and Event (for meetings) with WhoId and WhatId resolved to the migrated Account or Opportunity.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Boostr has no public API — manual export coordination is mandatory

    Boostr does not publicly document a REST API or bulk export endpoint. All data must be exported via manual CSV pulls from the Boostr UI or with direct assistance from Boostr support. We scope a dedicated extraction session with the customer's Boostr admin, agree on the export format and field set upfront, and validate completeness before transformation begins. Missing or truncated exports are the most common cause of migration delays for this platform. Unlike API-based migrations where we can run delta syncs, manual exports require a freeze on source data changes during the export window.

  • Proposals and Orders collapse into a single Opportunity object

    Boostr separates Proposals (draft offer) from Orders (confirmed booking) as two distinct objects. Salesforce Opportunity does not have a native Proposal state — it is one record type with a stage field. We handle this by mapping Proposal records as Opportunities in a Draft or Proposal stage and Order records as Opportunities in a Closed Won stage, preserving the Proposal-to-Order lifecycle in a custom field on the Opportunity. We flag this distinction during the mapping review so the customer understands how the media sales funnel will appear post-migration: all Proposals and Orders appear as separate Opportunities at different stages rather than as separate object types.

  • Ad inventory line items require a custom schema design decision

    Boostr captures ad inventory as structured line items per Order — placement, format, dates, impression target, CPM rate, and unit count. Salesforce Opportunity does not natively support nested line-item hierarchies the way an OMS does. We offer two migration strategies during scoping: (a) a custom Ad_Inventory_Item__c object with a lookup to Opportunity, or (b) a flattened set of custom fields on Opportunity for single-line Orders. The choice affects reporting, the customer must confirm before we finalize the mapping spec. Multi-line Orders with 10 or more inventory items per Order will almost always require the custom object approach.

  • GAM OAuth tokens cannot be migrated — reconnection is a post-migration step

    Customers who rely on Boostr's Google Ad Manager push integration will need to re-establish that OAuth connection in their destination ad ops stack after migration. We document the active GAM integration scope during discovery (which orders were synced, which GAM property IDs were targeted, and what sync direction was used) and include a reconnection checklist in the post-migration handoff. This is not a data migration issue but a configuration step the customer's ad ops team must plan for. Some teams choose to rebuild the GAM connection through Salesforce AppExchange integrations rather than custom API work.

  • Salesforce validation rules and field-level security can reject imported records

    Salesforce orgs commonly enforce validation rules (required formats, conditional requireds, picklist whitelists) and field-level security that the migration user must explicitly bypass during data load. We coordinate with the customer's Salesforce admin to grant the migration user the necessary Bulk API permissions and either temporarily disable conflicting validation rules or extend them with a migration-context check. Skipping this step results in 5-30 percent record rejection on the first import attempt, particularly on custom fields with picklist restrictions or required cross-object lookups.

Migration approach

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

  1. Discovery and manual export coordination

    We audit the Boostr instance across Advertisers, Campaigns, Proposals, Orders, Ad Inventory Units, Revenue Records, custom properties, and user list. We pair this with a Salesforce edition decision (Professional at $80/user covers most migrations; Enterprise at $165/user is required for advanced Flow, reporting, or territory management). Because Boostr has no API, we schedule a dedicated export coordination session with the customer's Boostr admin to agree on the CSV format, field set, and delivery timeline. We document all active GAM integrations, connected apps, and manual workflow configurations for the post-migration rebuild inventory.

  2. Schema design and line-item strategy

    We design the destination schema in Salesforce. This includes provisioning custom objects (Ad_Inventory_Item__c if applicable), custom fields on Account, Opportunity, and custom objects with type-mapped Salesforce field types, Record Types per pipeline if applicable, Opportunity stages mapped from Boostr pipeline stages, and custom fields capturing Proposal status and the Proposal-to-Order cross-reference. Schema is deployed via Salesforce metadata API or change set into a Salesforce Sandbox first for validation. We finalize the line-item strategy (custom object vs. flattened fields) with the customer before any data is exported.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Accounts in, Campaigns in, Opportunities in with correct stage distribution, Line Items in if using custom object), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Boostr source, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections happen in Sandbox, not in production. This step also validates that Boostr's CSV exports are complete and that no fields are truncated or missing.

  4. Owner reconciliation and User provisioning

    We extract every distinct Boostr User referenced on Advertiser, Campaign, Proposal, Order, and Activity records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Users without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on Opportunity and Campaign. We also capture Boostr role and team assignments for Salesforce Role hierarchy mapping if applicable.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Boostr Advertisers), Campaigns (with Advertiser cross-references), Opportunities representing Proposals (Draft/Proposal stage), Opportunities representing Orders (Closed Won stage), custom Ad_Inventory_Item__c records (if using custom object), Revenue fields (Amount, billing status), Custom Fields on Account and Opportunity, Activity history (Tasks and Events via Bulk API 2.0), and any remaining custom object records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff

    We freeze Boostr 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 the GAM reconnection checklist and the workflow and connected apps rebuild inventory to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. We do not rebuild Boostr workflows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task. GAM reconnection is handled by the customer's ad ops team using our documented checklist.

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.

Most migrations land between four and eight weeks for accounts under 15,000 Advertisers, 5,000 Orders, and a straightforward line-item strategy (flattened fields rather than a custom object). Migrations with a custom Ad_Inventory_Item__c object, multi-channel Campaign relationships, large historical Proposal-to-Order sequences (over 20,000 records), or GAM integration reconnection scope move to twelve to eighteen weeks. The manual CSV export coordination step with the Boostr admin adds a planning buffer of one to two weeks that is not present in API-based migrations.
