Overview
Captorra is a legal-intake and case-management platform built for consumer law firms — it tracks leads through intake, assigns attorneys, manages case status, and logs court dates. Freshsales is a sales CRM built on a Lead → Contact → Account → Opportunity object model with contact lifecycle stages, Kanban pipelines, and workflow automation. These data models share contacts and companies but diverge sharply on case lifecycle: Captorra tracks legal case stages (Intake, Screening, Opened, Pending, Closed) while Freshsales uses deal stages tied to sales pipelines. FlitStack AI extracts Captorra data via its REST API (https://captorraapi.captorra.com/api/captorraapi/create), maps lead records to Freshsales Leads, maps Captorra company records to Freshsales Accounts, maps case records to Opportunities with case-number and case-status preserved as custom Opportunity fields, and maps attorney-owner assignments to Freshsales Owner fields via email match. Captorra workflows, court-date automations, and legal-specific rules have no Freshsales equivalent and must be rebuilt using Freshsales Workflows or exported as configuration documentation for your admin team. Activity history (calls, notes, emails) migrates as Freshsales Tasks. The migration runs on scoped read-access to Captorra with a 24–48 hour delta-pickup window during cutover.
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 Captorra 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.
Captorra
Captorra Lead
Freshsales
Freshsales Lead
1:1Captorra's lead record (incoming intake) maps 1:1 to Freshsales Lead. Standard fields: name, email, phone, source, status. Captorra lead status values (New, Contacted, Qualified) map to Freshsales Lead status pick-list via value mapping. Attorney assignment on Captorra lead becomes Freshsales OwnerId resolved by email match.
Captorra
Captorra Contact
Freshsales
Freshsales Contact
1:1Captorra contacts (client records with attorney assignments) map to Freshsales Contacts. Name, email, phone, address, and company link migrate. Captorra contact type (Referral Partner, Client, Opposing Counsel) migrates as a custom pick-list field on Freshsales Contact since Freshsales does not have a native contact-type classification beyond lifecycle stage.
Captorra
Captorra Company
Freshsales
Freshsales Account
1:1Captorra company records (law firm clients or opposing parties) map to Freshsales Accounts. Company name, domain, industry, and employee count migrate. Industry pick-list values require value-by-value mapping since Captorra's legal-industry taxonomy differs from Freshsales' standard industry list. Parent-company hierarchy maps to Freshsales Parent Account where applicable.
Captorra
Captorra Case
Freshsales
Freshsales Opportunity
1:1Captorra case records translate into Freshsales Opportunities. The case number (captorra_case_id) becomes a custom Opportunity field. Case status values (Intake, Screening, Opened, Pending, Closed) map to Freshsales Opportunity Stage values via value_mapping per Freshsales pipeline. If Captorra tracks case monetary value or retainer amount, that maps to Freshsales Opportunity Amount.
Captorra
Captorra Case Stage
Freshsales
Freshsales Opportunity Stage
1:1Captorra's five case stages (Intake, Screening, Opened, Pending, Closed) map to Freshsales Opportunity Stage values configured per pipeline. Each stage probability is assigned from Freshsales pipeline settings. Stage-transition timestamps from Captorra are preserved as custom datetime fields on the Opportunity for reporting continuity.
Captorra
Captorra Attorney Assignment
Freshsales
Freshsales Owner (OwnerId)
1:1Captorra stores attorney_id on lead and case records. Owner resolution happens by matching attorney email from Captorra to Freshsales user email. Unmatched attorneys are flagged before migration; fallback owner is assigned per your specified rule. Attorney inactive status in Captorra maps to Freshsales user being set to Inactive before migration.
Captorra
Captorra Activity Log
Freshsales
Freshsales Task
1:1Captorra activity log entries (calls logged by attorney, emails, notes attached to case) migrate as Freshsales Tasks. Task Subject reflects activity type, Task Status reflects completion, and original timestamp and owner are preserved. Bulk email logs migrate as Tasks with Type = Email.
Captorra
Captorra Custom Field (Lead)
Freshsales
Freshsales Lead Custom Field
1:1Any Captorra custom fields on the Lead object (e.g., Practice Area, Lead Source Detail, Court Jurisdiction) require Freshsales Lead custom fields created before migration. Custom field API names in Freshsales follow snake_case naming (e.g., practice_area). Field type (text, picklist, date, number) is matched from Captorra field type definition.
Captorra
Captorra Custom Field (Case)
Freshsales
Freshsales Opportunity Custom Field
1:1Captorra custom fields on Case records (e.g., Court Location, Judge Name, Case Number, Statute of Limitations) require Freshsales Opportunity custom fields. These are created with matching field types before migration. Date fields preserve original Captorra date values as custom datetime fields on the Opportunity record.
Captorra
Captorra Referral Source
Freshsales
Freshsales Lead Custom Field or Account Custom Field
1:1Captorra tracks referral source (Partner Referral, Online Ad, Walk-in) on leads. This field has no native Freshsales equivalent. We create a custom pick-list field (Referral_Source__c) on Freshsales Lead and map values by value mapping. If referral source is tracked at the Account level in Captorra, it maps to a custom field on Freshsales Account.
Captorra
Captorra Attachment / File
Freshsales
Freshsales Document / Attachment
1:1Files attached to Captorra case records (e.g., intake documents, court filings) are downloaded and re-uploaded to Freshsales as Documents linked to the corresponding Opportunity record. File size limits from Freshsales apply. Inline images in Captorra notes are extracted and re-hosted as Freshsales document attachments.
Captorra
Captorra Workflow / Automation
Freshsales
No Equivalent
1:1Captorra workflows for court-date reminders, intake routing, and attorney task assignment have no direct Freshsales equivalent. These must be rebuilt in Freshsales Workflows (Growth+) or Freshsales Sequences (Pro+). FlitStack exports Captorra workflow definitions as a configuration reference document to assist your Freshsales admin during the rebuild phase.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Connect to Captorra API and audit data model
FlitStack authenticates to Captorra via your API credentials (using https://captorraapi.captorra.com/api/captorraapi/create for lead posting and a read-access account for export). We audit the full object inventory: Lead records, Contact records, Company records, Case records, Activity logs, and all custom fields on each object. We generate a data volume report and flag any Captorra custom fields missing a Freshsales equivalent, so your admin can create Freshsales custom fields before we proceed to mapping.
Design Freshsales schema and field mapping plan
We create a Freshsales schema setup plan: pipeline and stage configuration, custom fields on Lead and Opportunity, pick-list value mapping for case stages, owner resolution rules, and lead-conversion field mapping. This plan is delivered as a configuration checklist your Freshsales admin completes before data lands. For multi-pipeline setups (e.g., separate pipelines per practice area), we define which Captorra case type routes to which Freshsales pipeline.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning leads, contacts, accounts, cases, and activities. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values from Captorra against destination values in Freshsales. You verify case-stage mapping, custom field population, owner resolution, and activity log completeness. No records commit until you approve the sample. This is the validation gate before the full migration run.
Execute full migration with scoped Captorra read access
The full migration runs against Freshsales using Bulk API for high-volume record creation. Captorra remains fully operational — we use scoped read-access credentials, not write access. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures records modified in Captorra during the cutover window. Audit log records every operation. One-click rollback reverts Freshsales to its pre-migration state if reconciliation uncovers unexpected mapping gaps.
Deliver workflow reference doc and post-migration handoff
After migration completes, we deliver a Captorra Workflow Export document (JSON) listing all Captorra workflow definitions, trigger conditions, and action steps — for your Freshsales admin to reference when rebuilding automations in Freshsales Workflows or Sequences. We also provide a post-migration validation report showing record counts by object, field-population rates, and any records that landed with a fallback owner due to unresolved attorney email matches.
