Overview
Moving from ChartMogul to Freshsales is a platform-type transition: ChartMogul is a subscription analytics and lightweight CRM platform optimized for MRR/ARR reporting from billing connectors, while Freshsales is a full sales CRM from the Freshworks suite. The migration is not a record-for-record copy because ChartMogul's two-level customer model (parent Customer with child Data Source Customers) and subscription analytics objects have no native equivalents in Freshsales. We resolve this by mapping ChartMogul parent Customers to Freshsales Contacts, storing subscription plan data as custom fields on Contacts and Deals, and placing MRR values as custom currency fields on Accounts. We do not migrate ChartMogul MRR movements, cohort analytics, or forecast projections because these are computed metrics tied to ChartMogul's metric engine rather than source records. We deliver a written inventory of the MRR reporting that your admin rebuilds in Freshsales analytics, and we flag every integration that needs re-establishing post-migration (Stripe sync, Chargebee connection, Recurly import).
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ChartMogul 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.
ChartMogul
Customer (parent object)
Freshsales
Contact
1:1ChartMogul parent Customer records map to Freshsales Contact. We extract name, email, phone, address, and company name from the parent object. ChartMogul's external_id on the parent becomes Freshsales' unique_id field for cross-system reconciliation. Tags from the parent Customer migrate to Freshsales Contact tags. The ChartMogul data source customer child records are resolved to the same Contact via external_id matching before subscription data is attached.
ChartMogul
Data Source Customer (child object)
Freshsales
Contact (custom fields)
1:1Each ChartMogul Data Source Customer (one per billing system: Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly) is linked to the parent Contact via matched external_id. We store the data source identifier and original ChartMogul customer UUID as custom fields on the Freshsales Contact for traceability. This mapping is necessary because Freshsales has no native data source concept; the billing origin is preserved as metadata rather than as a separate object.
ChartMogul
Subscription
Freshsales
Contact (custom fields) + Deal
1:manyActive Subscriptions from ChartMogul migrate to Freshsales in two places: plan-level details (plan name, interval, quantity, MRR contribution) store as custom fields on the Contact record; open Deals in ChartMogul (if any) map to Freshsales Deals with the subscription MRR as the deal value. Cancelled and trial subscriptions store with status as custom fields but do not create open Deals. We use the subscription state_at field to determine active versus churned.
ChartMogul
Plan
Freshsales
Contact (custom fields) or Product
lossyChartMogul Plan definitions (name, interval, amount, currency, trial period) store as custom fields on the Freshsales Contact or as a Product record if the customer's Freshsales instance uses Products for deal line items. Plan history is preserved by capturing the current plan at migration time; plan change attribution that ChartMogul calculates as MRR expansion or contraction is not migratable as a movement but is preserved as a field value for Freshsales reporting.
ChartMogul
Invoice
Freshsales
Contact (custom fields)
1:1ChartMogul Invoices do not have a native equivalent in Freshsales. We migrate invoice metadata (invoice number, date, amount, currency, status) as a JSON blob or structured custom fields on the Contact record. Full invoice PDF files are not migratable as Salesforce-style attachments in Freshsales via standard API; we document the invoice record count and recommend the billing system as the source of truth for invoice PDF retrieval post-migration. Transaction-level records (payments, refunds, chargebacks) migrate as structured custom fields or are documented for manual reconciliation.
ChartMogul
Custom Attributes
Freshsales
Contact custom fields
1:1ChartMogul customer-level custom attributes migrate to Freshsales Contact custom fields. We map attribute types (string, number, date, boolean) to equivalent Freshsales field types. Attributes synced from Pipedrive or HubSpot via ChartMogul's CRM sync migrate with their original values. We create the custom field schema in Freshsales during the schema design phase before data import begins.
ChartMogul
Tags
Freshsales
Contact tags
1:1ChartMogul flat string tags on parent Customer records migrate 1:1 to Freshsales Contact tags. Tag counts for segmentation are preserved. Tags are imported after Contact records exist so that tag assignments resolve at insert time rather than requiring a post-import tag migration step.
ChartMogul
Opportunity
Freshsales
Deal
1:1ChartMogul CRM Opportunities map to Freshsales Deals with stage, value, owner, and close date preserved. ChartMogul deal stages map to Freshsales pipeline stages; we configure the Freshsales pipeline before migration to match the ChartMogul stage names and probabilities. The Deal's linked Contact (from the parent Customer mapping) attaches at import time via the Contact's unique_id.
ChartMogul
Task
Freshsales
Task
1:1Open Tasks from ChartMogul migrate to Freshsales Task with subject, due date, assignee, and completion status preserved. Completed tasks with no future action are optionally omitted to reduce import volume. Task assignment resolves via ChartMogul owner email matched to Freshsales User email. Notes and call logs from ChartMogul migrate as Freshsales Note records attached to the parent Contact via ContentDocumentLink.
ChartMogul
MRR Movements
Freshsales
Not migrated (computed metric)
1:1ChartMogul MRR Movements (new business, expansion, contraction, churn) are computed metrics generated by ChartMogul's metric engine from subscription state changes. They are not raw records but analytical outputs tied to ChartMogul's calculation methodology. We do not migrate MRR Movements. We migrate the underlying Subscription and Invoice data that drives them, and we deliver a written MRR reporting inventory (current MRR by plan, by cohort, by data source) for the customer's admin to rebuild in Freshsales analytics or a BI tool post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the source ChartMogul account: parent Customer count, Data Source Customer count per billing source, active subscription volume, invoice record count, custom attribute field definitions, ChartMogul CRM Opportunities, and task volume. We also identify which billing systems are connected (Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, PayPal, Google Play, App Store Connect) and whether the customer uses ChartMogul's CRM module or only its analytics engine. The discovery output is a written migration scope document specifying record counts per object, custom field schema for Freshsales, and the MRR reporting rebuild plan.
Schema design in Freshsales
We design the destination schema in Freshsales: creating Contact custom fields for MRR value, subscription plan details, invoice metadata, and ChartMogul UUID; configuring Account custom fields for billing source attribution; setting up the Freshsales pipeline stages to match ChartMogul deal stages; and mapping ChartMogul tags to Freshsales Contact tags. Custom field types are matched to their equivalents (currency fields for MRR, date fields for subscription start/end, picklist fields for subscription status). We validate the schema in a Freshsales sandbox or trial account before production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Freshsales sandbox using a representative data sample (typically 10% of record volume). The customer's admin reviews the imported Contacts for data accuracy, verifies that custom field values populated correctly from ChartMogul, confirms that tags migrated, and validates that any open Deals attached to Contacts migrated with correct stage and value. Mapping corrections are documented and applied before production migration. This step typically takes three to five business days and requires one to two hours of the customer's admin time for review and sign-off.
Owner matching and user provisioning
We extract every distinct ChartMogul Owner referenced on Customer, Opportunity, and Task records and match by email against the Freshsales destination's User table. Any ChartMogul Owner without a matching Freshsales User is flagged for the customer's admin to provision. Task assignees that cannot be resolved to an active Freshsales User are assigned to the admin user as a placeholder with a note for later reassignment. Owner resolution is required before the production migration phase begins because Freshsales Tasks require OwnerId at insert time.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Contacts first (with ChartMogul UUID stored as unique_id), then custom field population on Contacts (subscription plan data, MRR contribution, invoice metadata, tags), then Account records (created from ChartMogul company names where available), then Deals (mapped from ChartMogul Opportunities with pipeline stage configuration applied), then Tasks and Notes. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. MRR movements are not migrated; the subscription raw data that drives them is present on the Contact custom fields for the customer to build Freshsales analytics reports.
Cutover, billing integration handoff, and MRR rebuild plan
We freeze ChartMogul writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Freshsales as the system of record for CRM activity. We deliver the written billing integration rebuild plan documenting which Stripe, Chargebee, or Recurly connections the customer needs to re-establish or replace with Freshsales-compatible integrations. We also deliver the MRR reporting rebuild plan: a documented inventory of current MRR by plan, by data source, and by customer cohort for the customer's admin to recreate in Freshsales analytics or export to a BI tool. We do not rebuild ChartMogul workflows, sequences, or automations in Freshsales as these are not migratable and require fresh configuration.
