Overview
CentraHub CRM to Salesforce Sales Cloud is a migration constrained by source-side export limitations. CentraHub does not publish a public API endpoint, so all data exits via manual CSV per module, which strips attachment files, historical activity logs, and relationship metadata between records. We request full data exports from the customer's CentraHub instance, reconstruct Account-Contact and Deal-Activity relationships from the exported ID columns, validate custom field data types that CentraHub stores loosely, and load into Salesforce using Bulk API 2.0 in dependency order. We do not migrate Workflows or Reports as code; we deliver a written inventory of CentraHub Workflow definitions and field references for the customer's admin to rebuild in Salesforce Flow, and we flag every stage name that requires a new Salesforce Opportunity pipeline configuration. Salesforce's unlimited Opportunities, multi-pipeline record types, and AppExchange ecosystem of 1,000+ certified integrations justify the migration for teams that have outgrown CentraHub's feature ceiling and the Focus Softnet rebrand uncertainty.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a CentraHub CRM 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.
CentraHub CRM
Lead
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:1CentraHub Lead records map directly to Salesforce Lead. We preserve lead source, status, owner assignment, and all standard lead fields. Any CentraHub custom lead fields migrate as Salesforce custom Lead fields. The migration user performs all Lead inserts into the target Salesforce org before any Contact conversion begins, ensuring the conversion path is available when Leads qualify.
CentraHub CRM
Account
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1CentraHub Account records (company-level entities) map 1:1 to Salesforce Account. The Account record is the parent anchor for all Contact and Opportunity relationships in Salesforce, so we write Accounts first and resolve the Account ID for every dependent Contact and Deal record before those insert phases begin. Account Name becomes the Account Name field; industry and website map from the corresponding CentraHub fields.
CentraHub CRM
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1CentraHub Contact records (person-level entities) map to Salesforce Contact, linked to the parent Account via the AccountId lookup. We reconstruct the Account-Contact relationship from the exported ID columns in the CentraHub CSV export. All Contact standard fields (name, email, phone, title, department) map directly; custom Contact fields map to Salesforce custom Contact fields with type-matched field definitions.
CentraHub CRM
Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1CentraHub Deal records map to Salesforce Opportunity. The deal stage maps to the Salesforce Opportunity StageName via a stage name translation table we build during scoping. Each distinct CentraHub pipeline definition becomes a Salesforce Record Type on Opportunity with its own Sales Process and stage whitelist. We flag stages with no Salesforce equivalent for admin configuration before the migration insert phase.
CentraHub CRM
Pipeline
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Record Type + Sales Process
lossyCentraHub pipeline definitions map to Salesforce Opportunity Record Types and corresponding Sales Processes. The pipeline name becomes the Record Type label and API name; stage names within each pipeline become Stage values in the associated Sales Process. Probability percentages per stage migrate to the Salesforce stage probability map. Page Layout assignments per pipeline are configured by the customer's admin after migration.
CentraHub CRM
Task
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1CentraHub Task records map to Salesforce Task with Status, Priority, ActivityDate, and Subject preserved. Custom task types (call, meeting, follow-up) require value mapping against the CentraHub picklist since task subtype taxonomy differs. Owner assignment migrates by email lookup against Salesforce User records. Any CentraHub task without a matching Salesforce User is held in the owner reconciliation queue.
CentraHub CRM
Appointment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Event
1:1CentraHub calendar Appointment records map to Salesforce Event with StartDateTime, EndDateTime, Subject, and Location preserved. Timezone handling is normalized to UTC before insert. We flag appointments that fall outside the standard business hours configured in Salesforce or that reference attendees not present in the migrated Contact or Lead set.
CentraHub CRM
Activity (calls, emails, notes)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task + EmailMessage
1:1CentraHub Activity records encompass call logs, email logs, and notes attached to Leads, Accounts, Contacts, or Deals. We split these by activity type: call logs become Task with TaskSubtype=Call; email logs become Salesforce EmailMessage records linked to a Task for timeline display; notes become Salesforce Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent record. WhoId and WhatId are resolved at migration time using the Lead and Account IDs reconstructed from the export.
CentraHub CRM
Custom Field
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field
1:1CentraHub custom fields per module (text, number, picklist, date, phone, email, website, geolocation) map to Salesforce custom fields of the corresponding type. We extract the complete custom field schema per module during discovery and create the destination Salesforce custom field definitions before any data load. Type mismatches (values CentraHub silently accepted on CSV import that violate the declared data type) are flagged and corrected before the Salesforce insert to prevent validation rule failures.
CentraHub CRM
Email Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign + CampaignMember
1:1CentraHub Email Campaign records (open/click data and send history) migrate to Salesforce Campaign as read-only records preserving campaign name, start date, status, and budget cost. Historical send metrics migrate to CampaignMember records linked to the corresponding Leads and Contacts. Active campaign state and scheduled sends do not migrate; these require re-initiation in Salesforce Campaign or Marketing Cloud Account Engagement post-migration.
CentraHub CRM
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Multi-Select Picklist or Topic
lossyCentraHub tags applied across objects for segmentation migrate to Salesforce as a customer-chosen strategy: either multi-select picklist fields on the relevant object or Salesforce Topics with TopicAssignment records. We document the full tag vocabulary during discovery and the customer selects the destination model. Tags with no direct equivalent are flagged for manual reassignment after migration.
CentraHub CRM
Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument + ContentVersion
1:1CentraHub file attachments stored via Dropbox or Box integrations are downloaded to temporary storage during the export phase. We re-attach files post-import using the Salesforce ContentDocument and ContentVersion APIs, linking each document to the parent record via ContentDocumentLink. Files without a downloadable URL in the export (stored only in the CentraHub UI) are flagged for manual re-upload by the customer's team.

Migration approach
Discovery and export access verification
We audit the CentraHub CRM instance for record counts per module (Leads, Accounts, Contacts, Deals, Tasks, Appointments, Activities), custom field schemas per module, pipeline definitions, active workflow count and field-ID dependencies, attachment file sources (Dropbox/Box or CentraHub-hosted), and email campaign history. We also verify the branding state (CentraHub vs Focus Softnet) and the CentraHub edition (Centra Hosted with database access vs cloud-only), which determines whether we can supplement CSV exports with direct database reads. The discovery output is a written migration scope, an export checklist per module, and a field-ID-to-field-name map for every CentraHub Workflow definition.
Data export and relationship reconstruction
We request full CSV exports from the customer's CentraHub instance for each module, applying the export checklist to capture all available fields. For Centra Hosted editions with database access, we extract supplementary records directly. We parse the exported ID columns to build a relationship graph: Account IDs referenced by Contacts, Deal IDs referenced by Activities, and owner IDs referenced across all modules. This graph is the reconstruction map for the insert phase. Attachments stored in Dropbox or Box are downloaded to temporary storage. Any CentraHub data that cannot be exported via CSV or database read is documented as a gap item for customer acknowledgment.
Data cleansing and type validation
We run the exported data through a validation pass that checks every custom field value against the declared CentraHub data type. Text strings in number fields, malformed emails, dates outside valid ranges, and picklist values not in the declared option set are flagged and logged. We apply the customer's preferred cleansing strategy (correct, quarantine, or accept-as-is) before transformation. Duplicate detection runs on Contact email and Account name to surface records that would violate Salesforce duplicate rules on insert.
Salesforce schema configuration and sandbox migration
We design and deploy the destination Salesforce schema: custom fields on Lead, Contact, Account, Opportunity, Task, Event, and EmailMessage; Opportunity Record Types and Sales Processes per CentraHub pipeline; custom objects if present in the source. Salesforce field types are mapped from CentraHub types (text to Text, number to Number, picklist to Picklist, date to Date). We deploy to a Salesforce Sandbox first for validation. We run a full migration into Sandbox and deliver a reconciliation report covering record counts, field-level validation failures, and relationship completeness. The customer's admin reviews and approves the mapping before production migration begins.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct CentraHub owner referenced across all record types and match by email against the destination Salesforce org's User table. Owners without a matching Salesforce User are listed in a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the CentraHub user is still active). Owner resolution is a prerequisite for all insert phases because OwnerId is a required field on most standard Salesforce objects. We validate the User provisioning before proceeding to production insert.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts first (the parent anchor), then Contacts and Leads (with AccountId and OwnerId resolved), then Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), then Tasks and Events (with WhoId and WhatId resolved by the IDs from the previous phases), then EmailMessages (linked to Tasks for timeline display), then Notes and ContentDocuments, then Campaign and CampaignMember records, then custom objects last. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report showing inserted, skipped, and errored records. We use Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with batch chunking, parent-record lookup resolution, and exponential backoff on API limit responses.
Cutover, delta sync, and Workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze writes in CentraHub during the cutover window, run a final delta migration for records modified during the migration period, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team listing every CentraHub Workflow with its trigger, conditions, actions, field IDs, and a recommended Salesforce Flow equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. We do not rebuild CentraHub Workflows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin rebuild task. Reports and dashboards do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of CentraHub report configurations for the customer's admin to reference when rebuilding in Salesforce Reports or Analytics Cloud.
