Overview
Brivity is a real-estate-vertical CRM centered on leads, transactions, IDX websites, and agent accountability dashboards. Its core objects are People (contacts and leads), Companies, Deals, and Activities, with real-estate-specific fields like Transaction Side, Property Address, and Referral Source. Freshsales is a general-purpose Freshworks CRM with a separate Lead and Contact object model, Account (company) records, Deal records (called Opportunities), and Sales Activities (calls, emails, meetings, tasks). Freshsales also exposes Contact Lifecycle Stages, Freddy AI scoring, and multiple deal pipelines tied to different sales processes. We map Brivity People to Freshsales Leads (or Contacts, depending on their status at migration time). Brivity Company records become Freshsales Accounts. Brivity Deals map directly to Freshsales Deals with pipeline-stage value mapping, since both platforms support multiple pipelines. Activity history — calls, emails, meetings, and tasks — migrates as Freshsales Sales Activities with original timestamps and owner assignments preserved. File attachments are re-uploaded to Freshsales's file storage. What does not migrate: Brivity's IDX website data, transaction-specific property objects, real-estate listing associations, and any automations or action plans. Those require Freshsales-side configuration or a rebuild using Freshsales Workflows and custom objects. We surface all of these gaps in the migration plan before the first record moves, so your team knows exactly what manual setup remains. The migration runs via Freshsales's CRM Data Import API and bulk API endpoints, with scoped read access on Brivity so your team keeps working during cutover. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records modified during the transition.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Brivity 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.
Brivity
People
Freshsales
Lead / Contact
1:manyBrivity People records split by status at migration time. Active leads and unconverted prospects route to Freshsales Lead. Clients with closed transactions or a defined Account link route to Freshsales Contact. The split rule is configurable — default is anyone with a Deal in Closed Won stage becoming a Contact.
Brivity
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1Brivity Company maps directly to Freshsales Account. The primary Company contact in Brivity becomes the primary contact link in Freshsales. Parent-company hierarchies map to Freshsales Parent Account relationships; circular references are flagged before migration. We also map the company's phone, website, and industry fields, and if a parent-company hierarchy exists, the top-level organization is imported first to ensure the Parent Account reference resolves correctly during the import sequence.
Brivity
Deal
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Brivity Deal maps 1:1 to Freshsales Deal. The deal name, amount, close date, and stage all transfer. Brivity pipeline names map to Freshsales Sales Flows. Deal owner resolves by email match against Freshsales users; unmatched owners are flagged before migration commits.
Brivity
Pipeline Stage
Freshsales
Deal Stage
1:1Each Brivity pipeline stage maps to a corresponding Freshsales deal stage value. Stage ordering, probability percentages, and forecast categories are re-applied in Freshsales. We preserve the original stage-entered timestamp as a custom datetime field (Stage_Entered_Date__c) for pipeline reporting continuity. If a Brivity pipeline stage has a custom probability or forecast category, those values are configured in Freshsales before records load, ensuring that deal health indicators reflect historical expectations.
Brivity
Activity (Call / Email / Meeting / Task)
Freshsales
Sales Activity
1:1Brivity activities map to Freshsales Sales Activities by type: calls become Calls, emails become Emails, meetings become Meetings, and general tasks become Tasks. Original timestamps, duration, owner, and the parent record link (contact or deal) are all preserved. Linked notes migrate as Freshsales Notes.
Brivity
Property / Transaction Data
Freshsales
Custom Fields on Deal
1:1Brivity stores real-estate-specific deal fields like Property Address, Transaction Side (Buyer/Seller), Listing MLS Number, and Referral Source. Freshsales has no native real estate transaction object, so these migrate as custom text, pick-list, or number fields on the Deal object. Your Freshsales admin pre-creates these fields or we create them as part of the migration plan.
Brivity
Custom Property (People)
Freshsales
Custom Field on Lead / Contact
1:1Brivity custom properties on People records — such as Lead Source, Preferred Neighborhood, or Budget Range — transfer to Freshsales as custom fields on Lead and Contact objects. Freshsales Growth supports basic custom fields; advanced field types (multi-select, lookup) require Pro or Enterprise. We map the field type to the closest Freshsales equivalent.
Brivity
IDX Website / Listing Data
Freshsales
Not Migrated
1:1Brivity IDX website data and listing associations are platform-specific and have no equivalent in Freshsales's general CRM model. This data cannot migrate and must be managed separately in Brivity or rebuilt in a dedicated IDX/listing tool. We flag this clearly in the migration plan and do not include it in the record count for pricing.
Brivity
File / Attachment
Freshsales
Freshsales Files
1:1Brivity file attachments on People, Company, and Deal records are downloaded and re-uploaded to Freshsales Files, linked to the corresponding record. Files larger than 25 MB are chunked or linked externally. Inline images embedded in Brivity notes are extracted, re-hosted, and the link is updated in Freshsales Notes.
Brivity
Owner / Agent
Freshsales
User
1:1Brivity owner and agent assignments resolve by email match against Freshsales Users. If a Brivity owner has no matching Freshsales user, the record is assigned to a fallback owner and flagged in the pre-migration validation report. Freshsales requires an active user for every owner assignment before records insert.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Brivity gotchas
No public API forces CSV-based migration scoping
Auto Plans and automated sequences do not transfer
IDX website configuration is non-transferable
Add-on pricing creates unpredictable total cost
GCI and commission data may not survive field mapping
Freshsales gotchas
Freddy AI is Pro-tier only despite heavy marketing
Post-migration emails and sequences are disabled
Bot session credits are a one-time 500-session allocation
Phone credits charged per minute with no cap
File storage limits scale with plan tier
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Brivity data and pre-create Freshsales schema
We read Brivity via scoped API access and export People, Company, Deal, and Activity records as CSV. We audit the full list of Brivity custom properties and map them to Freshsales field types, flagging any type-cap violations. Your Freshsales admin (or our team) pre-creates the custom fields, Sales Flows per Brivity pipeline, and assigns Freshsales Users for owner resolution. No Brivity data moves until the schema is confirmed ready on the Freshsales side.
Resolve owners and validate record relationships
We match Brivity owner and agent email addresses against Freshsales User records. Records with no match are flagged in a pre-migration report — your team either invites those users to Freshsales first or designates a fallback owner. We also validate Company-to-People relationships and Deal-to-Contact links so foreign keys resolve correctly during import. Any circular parent-company references are flagged and must be resolved before Accounts insert.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 200–500 covering People, Companies, Deals, and Activities — migrates into Freshsales first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values for every mapped field. You verify that Brivity pipeline stages map to the correct Freshsales Sales Flow stages, that real-estate custom fields (Property Address, Transaction Side) land in the right custom fields, and that owner resolution produced the expected assignments. No full migration commits until you approve the diff.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Once the sample diff is approved, we run the full migration in sequenced batches: Accounts first, then People (split into Leads and Contacts by the configured rule), then Deals with Sales Flow and stage mapping, then Activities. Freshsales's bulk import processes each batch; records above 25,000 are split into scheduled batches. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after the initial run) captures any Brivity records created or modified during the cutover so Freshsales reflects the final state at go-live. Your team continues working in Brivity throughout.
Reconcile, audit, and hand off rebuild references
We run a post-migration reconciliation report comparing record counts and field-population rates between Brivity and Freshsales. File attachments are verified; owner assignments are confirmed. We deliver a rebuild reference export of your Brivity automations, action plans, and referral workflows so your Freshsales admin can reconstruct them as Freshsales Workflows. If any records failed to migrate, we re-run them at no additional cost. An audit log records every operation for compliance review.
