Overview
ConvertWire stores data in a flat contact-centric model: company data lives as properties on the Contact record, deals attach directly to contacts, and activities log against individuals. Salesforce Sales Cloud uses a relational model where Accounts and Contacts are separate objects linked by lookup, Opportunities live under Accounts (or standalone), and Activities are either Tasks or Events with parent-record links. We migrate Contacts, Companies/Accounts, Deals/Opportunities, activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes), custom fields, and attachments. Owner resolution happens by email match to Salesforce Users with unmatched owners flagged pre-migration. Original create and update timestamps preserve as custom datetime fields since Salesforce sets CreatedDate at migration time. ConvertWire custom fields map to Salesforce custom fields using the __c suffix. ConvertWire pipeline stages require pre-creation of Salesforce Opportunity Stage values before value-mapping. Files re-upload to Salesforce Files. All workflows, automations, and sequences do not migrate — we export ConvertWire workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for Salesforce Flow. The migration runs via ConvertWire's read API with scoped read access and Salesforce's Bulk API for high-volume ingestion, sequenced to satisfy foreign-key dependencies (Accounts before Contacts, Contacts before Opportunities). Delta-pickup captures in-flight changes during cutover, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails.
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 Convert Wire 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.
Convert Wire
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1ConvertWire contacts map directly to Salesforce Contacts. Salesforce requires an AccountId for most standard use cases. Contacts without a primary company in ConvertWire get attached to a default 'Unassigned Account' record or land as Salesforce Leads based on lifecycle stage.
Convert Wire
Contact (lifecycle_stage in [prospect, customer, churned])
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead / Contact
1:manyConvertWire lifecycle stages 'Prospect' and 'Unqualified' route to Salesforce Lead. ConvertWire records marked as 'Customer' or with a closed deal route to Salesforce Contact under an Account. Split happens during migration based on source lifecycle value and deal history. The routing logic also preserves original stage labels as a custom field for post-migration reporting continuity.
Convert Wire
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1ConvertWire company records map to Salesforce Accounts. ConvertWire's contact-company flat model means the same company name can appear on multiple contact records — deduplication by domain or name matching creates one Account per unique company, linked to all related Contacts.
Convert Wire
Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1ConvertWire deals map to Salesforce Opportunities with Name, Amount, CloseDate, and Stage mapped field-by-field. ConvertWire deal owners resolve to Salesforce User via email match before Opportunity.OwnerId is set. Probability values are migrated as a custom field if the target Salesforce Probability field is not used, and deal notes are imported as Opportunity Description. All linked activities are attached via the WhatId relationship after the Opportunity is created.
Convert Wire
Pipeline Stage
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity Stage
1:1ConvertWire pipeline stage names require value-by-value mapping to Salesforce Opportunity Stage values. Each ConvertWire pipeline stage must exist as a StageName pick-list entry in Salesforce before mapping — we deliver a stage-creation checklist as part of the migration plan. The checklist includes each stage name, its probability percentage, and the associated Salesforce sales process, so admins can configure the correct picklist order and visibility settings before data loads.
Convert Wire
Activity (Call / Email)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1ConvertWire call and email activities map to Salesforce Tasks with Type='Call' or Type='Email'. Original timestamps, owners, and parent-record links to Contact or Opportunity are preserved. Task.Subject inherits the ConvertWire activity type. If the activity references a Contact that is not yet migrated, the Task is held in a staging table until the Contact is created, preventing orphaned Task records. This ensures referential integrity across the load sequence.
Convert Wire
Activity (Meeting)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Event
1:1ConvertWire meeting activities map to Salesforce Events with original start/end times, location, and owner preserved. Events link to the parent Contact or Opportunity via the WhatId field. When the linked Contact or Opportunity is not yet present in Salesforce, the Event is temporarily stored with a placeholder reference, and the WhatId is updated after the parent record is created to maintain activity continuity.
Convert Wire
Activity (Note)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note
1:1ConvertWire notes map to Salesforce Notes (not legacy Note object). Rich-text formatting is preserved where supported. Notes attach to the parent Contact, Lead, or Opportunity record via the ParentId field. If a note references a record type not yet migrated, the system queues it for later attachment and logs the mismatch for admin review, ensuring no notes are lost during the load.
Convert Wire
Attachment / File
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Files
1:1ConvertWire file attachments on contacts, companies, and deals re-upload to Salesforce Files. File size limits apply (Salesforce default 25MB per file). Inline images in notes are downloaded and rehosted within Salesforce. We preserve original file names and upload timestamps, storing them as ContentVersion records linked to the appropriate parent record via ContentDocumentLink. Any unsupported file types are flagged for manual upload after migration.
Convert Wire
Custom Field
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field (__c)
1:1ConvertWire custom fields on Contacts, Companies, and Deals require pre-creation in Salesforce with the __c suffix. Field types map where possible (text to text, number to number, date to date). Pick-list fields require value-by-value setup in Salesforce before migration data loads.
Convert Wire
Owner / User
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1ConvertWire owner references on contacts and deals resolve by email match to Salesforce Users. Any ConvertWire owner without a matching Salesforce user email is flagged before migration — the team either invites the user to Salesforce first or assigns their records to a fallback owner.
Convert Wire
ConvertWire Workflow
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Flow
1:1ConvertWire workflows, automations, and sequences do not migrate. We export ConvertWire workflow definitions as a reference document so your Salesforce admin can rebuild equivalent logic in Flow. Workflow logic must be rebuilt manually on the Salesforce side. The exported document captures trigger events, condition criteria, action sequences, and any custom field dependencies, providing a step‑by‑step guide for the admin to recreate each workflow in Flow Builder.

Migration approach
Assess ConvertWire data model and document field inventory
We connect to ConvertWire's API using scoped read access and pull a full inventory of all objects, standard fields, and custom fields. We profile record counts per object, identify pick-list values on custom fields, and document the pipeline and stage configuration. This output becomes the ConvertWire side of the field-mapping worksheet. Any ConvertWire workflows and automation rules are exported as a separate rebuild reference document.
Build Salesforce schema: custom fields, stages, and account hierarchy
We deliver a Salesforce setup checklist: custom fields to create (with __c suffix, types, and pick-list values), Opportunity Stage values to pre-create for each Sales Process, and a deduplication rule for Account names based on domain matching. Your Salesforce admin completes this checklist before data loads run. We validate that every field exists in Salesforce before touching any object. We also provide a field existence check script that runs against your org and flags any missing fields, so the admin can resolve gaps before the first data load. This reduces load failures and accelerates the migration timeline.
Export ConvertWire data and run sample migration with field-level diff
We export Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, and Attachments from ConvertWire. A representative slice (100–500 records) migrates first to Salesforce. We generate a field-level diff between source and destination showing every mapped field, its source value, and its destination value. You verify lifecycle stage routing, Account deduplication, owner resolution, and pipeline stage mapping before the full run commits. During the diff review we also surface any records with missing required fields, orphaned contacts, or unmatched owners, giving you a chance to clean data before the final load. This sample pass reduces risk and validates the mapping logic across all object types.
Cut over with delta-pickup, validate, and activate Salesforce
The full migration loads all ConvertWire records into Salesforce following the validated mapping. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in ConvertWire during the cutover. We validate record counts, foreign-key relationships (AccountId on Contacts, Opportunity AccountId), and activity parent links. Audit log captures every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. Post-load, we run reconciliation checks comparing total record counts and pick-list value distributions. Discrepancies trigger alerts, and the rollback script reverts the org to its pre‑migration state if needed, preserving data integrity.
