Overview
ConvergeHub does not publish a documented REST API, which means every migration must extract data through CSV exports from the platform UI. We manage staged exports per module, clean field types and picklist values for Freshsales import format, and reconstruct relationship chains that ConvergeHub flattens into foreign-key IDs during export. Freshsales uses a unified Contact model with Lead conversion rather than ConvergeHub's separate Leads and Contacts modules, requiring a lifecycle-stage mapping decision at scoping. We load Accounts first (from ConvergeHub Companies), then Contacts with AccountId resolved, then Deals linked to Accounts, and finally Activities, Cases, and Invoices. Automations and automation rules do not migrate automatically; we document the active configuration as a written handoff for your Freshsales admin. We do not migrate Workflows, Sequences, Reports, or Forms as code, and we flag any ConvergeHub record that references a deleted or broken automation trigger before 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 ConvergeHub 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.
ConvergeHub
Lead
Freshsales
Lead
1:1ConvergeHub Leads map directly to Freshsales Lead records. The ConvergeHub Lead Status and Source fields map to Freshsales Lead Status and Lead Source picklists. Any custom fields on ConvergeHub Leads are created in Freshsales as matching field types before import. Lifecycle stage information from ConvergeHub custom fields is preserved in a Freshsales custom field for segmentation and reporting continuity.
ConvergeHub
Account
Freshsales
Account
1:1ConvergeHub Accounts map to Freshsales Accounts. The Account name, industry, size, address, and custom fields transfer directly. Account is imported first in the dependency chain because Contacts and Deals both require a valid AccountId lookup. We resolve any orphaned ConvergeHub Accounts that have no linked Contacts by creating the Account record and attaching the orphan Contacts during the mapping phase.
ConvergeHub
Contact
Freshsales
Contact
1:1ConvergeHub Contacts map to Freshsales Contacts. The Contact-to-Account linkage is preserved by resolving the ConvergeHub Contact-Account relationship chain before import. ConvergeHub contact roles, lifecycle stage values, phone, and email data transfer to Freshsales Contact fields. Any ConvergeHub Contacts that lack an Account parent are linked to a default Account record created during staging.
ConvergeHub
Deal
Freshsales
Deal
1:1ConvergeHub Deals map to Freshsales Deals. Freshsales Deals require an Account association; Deals linked directly to Contacts in ConvergeHub are remapped to the Contact's parent Account during transformation. Deal stage, value, expected close date, owner, and custom fields transfer. Pipeline stage mapping is configured in Freshsales before migration based on the customer's ConvergeHub pipeline structure.
ConvergeHub
Case
Freshsales
Case
1:1ConvergeHub Cases map to Freshsales Cases. Case status, priority, subject, description, and linked Contact and Account transfer. Custom case fields and status values require explicit picklist mapping to Freshsales Case Status and Priority values. Conversation history within Cases does not migrate as a linked timeline; we extract case records with their core field data and flag the conversation history limitation before migration begins.
ConvergeHub
Invoice
Freshsales
Invoice
1:1ConvergeHub Invoices map to Freshsales Invoice records where the Freshsales Pro or Enterprise plan is the destination. Invoice data, line items, totals, and tax amounts transfer. Payment gateway history and partially paid invoice payment records do not migrate because ConvergeHub stores this data outside the exportable record set. We flag any invoice with partial payment status for customer review before import.
ConvergeHub
Product
Freshsales
Product
1:1ConvergeHub Products map to Freshsales Products with SKU, unit price, and description preserved. Product associations to Deals are restored through line-item linking during the Deal import phase. We verify that all products referenced by ConvergeHub Quotations and Invoice line items exist in Freshsales before those modules import.
ConvergeHub
Activity
Freshsales
Task, Event
1:manyConvergeHub Activity records split by type: call and task activities map to Freshsales Tasks, and meeting or event activities map to Freshsales Events. The original timestamp is preserved as ActivityDate for timeline ordering. Activity associations to Contacts, Leads, Deals, or Accounts are resolved by matching the ConvergeHub foreign-key IDs to Freshsales record IDs generated during the import phase. Call recording URLs do not transfer as file attachments without explicit customer instruction due to size and format variability.
ConvergeHub
Custom Field
Freshsales
Custom Field
lossyEvery ConvergeHub custom field across Accounts, Cases, Contacts, Deals, Invoices, Leads, and Products is inventoried during discovery. We create the equivalent custom field in Freshsales with the matching field type before any module import begins. Picklist values are explicitly mapped between ConvergeHub and Freshsales, and date formats are reformatted to match the Freshsales instance date format documented in Admin Settings. Required field status is enforced during import rather than at the field-creation level to prevent blocked loads.
ConvergeHub
User
Freshsales
User
1:1ConvergeHub User records (name, email, role, ACL assignment) map to Freshsales User records by email match. ConvergeHub role names are mapped to Freshsales permission roles during configuration. Owner assignment on Deals, Cases, and Contacts is updated to point to the corresponding Freshsales User after User provisioning is complete.
ConvergeHub
Automation
Freshsales
Not applicable
1:1ConvergeHub Automation rules defined in the Tools section have no export path. We do not migrate automations as code. We capture screenshots and structured notes during discovery documenting each automation's trigger, criteria, and action sequence, and deliver this as a written automation inventory to the customer. Freshsales Workflows (Pro and above) serve as the rebuild target, and the customer's admin or a Freshworks partner handles the rebuild post-migration.
ConvergeHub
Quotation
Freshsales
Quote
1:1ConvergeHub Quotations map to Freshsales Quotes with product line items, pricing, and terms. Product references are mapped to Freshsales Products during the Product import phase. Quote status and custom quotation fields are preserved as Freshsales custom fields where applicable.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export verification
We audit all available ConvergeHub CSV exports across Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Deals, Cases, Invoices, Products, Activities, and any custom fields. For AppSumo lifetime accounts, we verify export permissions and storage limits explicitly during this phase. We also inventory active automation rules by reviewing the Tools section and capturing screenshots. On the Freshsales side, we identify the instance URL and plan tier, confirm pipeline and stage configuration, and verify that the custom fields needed for mapping have not already been created in a conflicting schema.
Field mapping and schema preparation
We create a field-level mapping table for every custom field across all ConvergeHub modules, documenting data type, picklist values, required status, and destination Freshsales field. Picklist value substitutions are captured explicitly. Date formats are verified against the Freshsales instance date format in Admin Settings and reformatted in the CSV before loading. On the Freshsales side, we create all required custom fields, configure pipeline and stage structures, and set up roles before any data import begins.
Staging migration and relationship reconstruction
We run a full migration to a Freshsales sandbox or staging environment first. Import follows dependency order: Accounts from ConvergeHub Companies first, then Contacts with AccountId resolved, then Leads, then Deals with AccountId resolved and direct Contact-linked Deals remapped, then Cases, Invoices, Activities, and Products. We reconstruct the Contact-to-Account-to-Deal relationship chain from ConvergeHub's flattened CSV foreign-key IDs and validate a row-count reconciliation against the source CSV exports. Relationship gaps are resolved at this stage.
Production migration in dependency order
We freeze writes to ConvergeHub, export a delta of any records created or modified after the staging migration, and load into Freshsales production in the same dependency order used in staging. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Freshsales date format alignment is enforced during CSV preparation before each phase. Any records with unmappable picklist values or required-field violations are held in an exception queue and reported to the customer for resolution before cutover.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We validate a spot-check sample of records in Freshsales against the source ConvergeHub data and resolve any remaining discrepancies. We deliver the automation inventory document to the customer's Freshsales admin for rebuild in Freshsales Workflows. We deliver a full reconciliation report showing record counts migrated, exceptions held, and relationship gaps identified. We do not rebuild ConvergeHub automations as Freshsales Workflows within the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
