Overview
Claritysoft and Freshsales both serve SMB sales teams but with materially different data models. Claritysoft separates Leads, Contacts, and Accounts as distinct record types; Freshsales also maintains separate Lead and Contact objects but uses a built-in conversion workflow to promote a Lead to a Contact attached to an Account. We navigate that conversion logic during migration by extracting Claritysoft's lead lifecycle stages and applying them as Freshsales Lead Status values, with the original Claritysoft lifecycle preserved as a custom field for audit and reporting. Freshsales offers a free tier for up to three users, which is a common entry point for teams trialing the platform after leaving Claritysoft, but the free tier restricts API access in the same way that Claritysoft's Professional plan does. We use Freshsales's REST API (Freshsales CRM API) with batched imports, resolving Account lookups before Contact inserts and Opportunity parent records before deal imports. Custom Modules from Claritysoft Accelerator and Enterprise tiers map to Freshsales Custom Objects and custom fields. Workflows, automations, and date-trigger rules do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every active Claritysoft workflow for the customer's admin to rebuild in Freshsales's automation builder.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Claritysoft 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.
Claritysoft
Contact
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Claritysoft Contacts migrate directly to Freshsales Contacts. The mapping preserves first_name, last_name, email, phone, mobile_phone, job_title, and address fields. We resolve the Claritysoft account association to a Freshsales Account by domain or name match and set the AccountId on Contact during import. Owner assignment maps from Claritysoft user email to Freshsales User by email lookup. Any Claritysoft contact without a matching Account is imported with the account association flagged for manual resolution.
Claritysoft
Account
Freshsales
Account
1:1Claritysoft Accounts (called Companies in some CRM contexts) map to Freshsales Accounts with company_name, domain, industry, annual_revenue, phone, and address fields preserved. We use the Claritysoft Account name or domain as the dedupe key during import to prevent duplicate Accounts. If the Claritysoft account has multiple Contacts, all Contacts link to the single migrated Account record via AccountId resolution during the Contact import phase.
Claritysoft
Lead
Freshsales
Lead
1:1Claritysoft Leads migrate to Freshsales Lead records with the lifecycle stage values (New, Contacted, Qualified) mapped to Freshsales Lead Status picklist values. The original Claritysoft lifecycle stage is preserved in a custom field claritysoft_lead_status__c for audit. If the customer plans to convert Leads in Freshsales post-migration, the status mapping ensures the conversion workflow triggers correctly. We flag any Lead records that lack a last_name or email as incomplete and quarantine them for customer review before import.
Claritysoft
Opportunity
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Claritysoft Opportunities map to Freshsales Deals with amount, stage_name, probability, expected_close_date, and description preserved. The Claritysoft pipeline association maps to a Freshsales Deal pipeline that we configure before migration, including stage names and stage probabilities. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won status from Claritysoft map to Freshsales stage values with probability 0 and 100 respectively. Deal ownership resolves via email-to-User lookup in Freshsales.
Claritysoft
Activity (Tasks, Calls, Meetings)
Freshsales
Tasks and Events
1:1Claritysoft Activities including Tasks, Calls, and Meetings migrate to Freshsales Tasks and Events with timestamps, owners, and linked record associations preserved. Call activities map to Freshsales Tasks with type=Call and the duration stored in a custom field. Meeting activities map to Freshsales Events with start_time, end_time, and location preserved. We link each migrated activity to the corresponding Contact, Account, or Deal via Freshsales's target_object_id and target_entity_type fields. Activity ordering is preserved using the original Claritysoft created_at timestamp.
Claritysoft
Custom Field
Freshsales
Custom Field
1:1Claritysoft Custom Fields (defined in Accelerator or Enterprise tiers) map to Freshsales custom fields by equivalent data type: text fields to Freshsales text, number fields to number, date fields to date, and picklist fields to multi-select picklist where appropriate. We run a schema profiling pass during discovery to capture every custom field definition including field type, required flag, and picklist values. Calculated Custom Fields from Claritysoft Accelerator are documented as formulas with their logic preserved in a written field reference; Freshsales does not support formula fields on the same object in the same way, so these require admin-level rebuild or replacement with Freshsales workflows.
Claritysoft
Custom Module
Freshsales
Custom Object
1:1Claritysoft Custom Modules (Accelerator and Enterprise only) map to Freshsales Custom Objects with all fields and relationships migrated as custom fields on the equivalent Freshsales object. Custom Module record associations to standard records (Contacts, Accounts, Deals) become Freshsales custom lookup fields pointing to Contact, Account, or Deal. We note that Freshsales Custom Objects are available from the Growth plan ($9/user) with API access, making them more accessible than Claritysoft's tier requirement. Professional-plan Claritysoft accounts do not expose Custom Modules via API, which requires a data-dump-and-import approach for those records.
Claritysoft
User
Freshsales
User
1:1Claritysoft Users map to Freshsales Users by email address match. Every record imported (Contact, Account, Deal, Activity) references an OwnerId that we resolve against the Freshsales User table at migration time. Users without a match in the destination org are queued for manual provisioning by the customer's Freshsales admin before the record import phase runs. We also preserve the Claritysoft Access Profile and User Group assignments as a written reference document to help the admin configure Freshsales roles and permissions post-migration.
Claritysoft
Document
Freshsales
Attachments
1:1Claritysoft Documents attached to records migrate to Freshsales file attachments. We extract the file content and re-associate it to the migrated Contact, Account, or Deal record using Freshsales's attachment upload API. Document metadata (filename, file type, upload date, attached record type) is preserved. Users should note that Freshsales handles attachments differently from Claritysoft in terms of storage limits per plan, so we flag any unusually large attachment sets for the customer to review before import.

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.
Claritysoft gotchas
API access gated behind tier — Professional users cannot export via API
1 million record limit on Enterprise tier is migration-critical for large datasets
API key inherits owner's permission scope — limited-user keys miss records
Workflow Date Triggers require Enterprise tier and do not migrate cleanly
Importing bad data is a known failure mode Claritysoft warns against
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
Tier verification and data audit
We confirm the source Claritysoft plan tier during scoping because API availability is tier-dependent. For Accelerator and Enterprise accounts, we generate an admin-level API key and run discovery queries across Contacts, Accounts, Leads, Opportunities, Activities, Custom Fields, and Custom Modules. For Professional accounts, we coordinate a manual export using Claritysoft's CSV export feature and reconstruct relationships (Contact-to-Account links, Activity-to-record associations) from backup metadata. We produce a data volume report and flag any approaching Enterprise record limits.
Freshsales schema setup and field mapping design
We create the Freshsales target schema before any data moves. This includes provisioning Custom Fields (mapped from Claritysoft Custom Fields), Custom Objects (mapped from Claritysoft Custom Modules), and Deal pipelines with stage names and probabilities matching the Claritysoft source. We configure the Lead Status picklist values to align with Claritysoft's lead lifecycle stages. We set up a Freshsales sandbox or trial account for the migration dry run so the customer can validate record structure before production import.
Data profiling and deduplication pass
We run a data quality pass on the extracted Claritysoft data, flagging duplicate records (Contacts with matching emails, Accounts with matching names), records missing required fields (Contacts without last_name or email, Deals without amount), and malformed data (incorrect date formats, phone numbers without country codes). We deliver a data quality report to the customer with a recommended cleanup action list before migration begins. Records that fail cleanup are imported with a quarantine flag for post-migration resolution.
Sandbox migration and record reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Freshsales target environment using production-like data volume. We reconcile record counts (Contacts in, Accounts in, Leads in, Deals in, Activities in) against the source system and spot-check 25-50 records for field-level accuracy. The customer's team lead validates the output and signs off the mapping before production migration begins. Any field mapping corrections happen in this phase.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency sequence: Accounts first (because Contact and Deal records reference them), then Contacts (with AccountId resolved), then Leads (with status mapping applied), then Deals (with owner and pipeline resolved), then Activities (Tasks and Events linked to their parent records), then Custom Objects last (because they may reference standard objects via lookup fields). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We use Freshsales batch API endpoints with chunking and backoff for large activity histories.
Cutover and workflow handoff
We freeze Claritysoft writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then hand off Freshsales as the active system of record. We deliver the Claritysoft workflow and automation inventory as a written document with Freshsales Automation Flow rebuild recommendations. We provide a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Claritysoft workflows as Freshsales Automation Flows within the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
