Overview
Cronberry is a cloud-based marketing automation platform centered on omnichannel outreach and lead management, but its lack of a documented public API, unreliable contact deduplication, and absence of Salesforce-level reporting and pipeline management drive teams to migrate. We extract data through Cronberry's internal export utilities and direct database access where available, normalize duplicate-prone Contact records before insert, and map Cronberry's multi-channel campaign model to Salesforce Campaign with channel tags. Smart Segment logic is reverse-engineered from membership data and documented for manual rebuild in Salesforce List Views or Reports. Cronberry Workflows and automated campaign sequences do not migrate to Salesforce Flow; we deliver a written automation inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild. Landing Pages do not migrate at all. Behavioral event logs map to Salesforce Task and Event records with a custom schema that captures the original event type and interaction data.
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 Cronberry 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.
Cronberry
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead or Contact (split required)
1:manyCronberry's unified Contact model has no direct Salesforce equivalent. We split at migration time: Contacts with lifecycle status indicating qualified prospect (e.g., sales qualified lead, customer) map to Salesforce Contact attached to an Account; Contacts with pre-sale status (subscriber, marketing qualified lead, lead) map to Salesforce Lead. We compute the split using Cronberry's segment membership and any lifecycle or status fields present in the export, then preserve the original Cronberry segment assignments in a custom multi-select picklist cronberry_segments__c on both Lead and Contact for audit and future segmentation rebuild.
Cronberry
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Cronberry company records map to Salesforce Account. The company name becomes the Account Name; website and domain fields map from Cronberry's company URL. Because Cronberry's company schema varies by implementation and may include custom properties, we perform a field-level inventory during scoping and map every populated custom company field to a corresponding custom Account field. Account is created before any Contact import so the AccountId Lookup is satisfied at Contact insert.
Cronberry
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign
1:1Cronberry Campaigns carry channel information (Email, SMS, Push, WhatsApp), timing rules, and target segment assignments. We extract these and map them to Salesforce Campaign with the Cronberry channel stored as a custom campaign channel field. Campaign type and status migrate from Cronberry campaign state. Target segment size is preserved as a custom field for campaign sizing validation. Note that Cronberry campaign performance metrics (opens, clicks, bounces) are behavioral event data that migrates separately as Activity records.
Cronberry
Segment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign List or Report Filter
lossyCronberry Smart Segments are built from field-value conditional rules that are not exported as a reusable schema. We reverse-engineer segment membership by querying which contacts belong to each segment, then document the implied conditions so they can be reconstructed manually in Salesforce using List Views, Reports with filters, or Salesforce Data Cloud audience segments. We deliver a written segment inventory with original conditions, contact counts, and recommended Salesforce rebuild path.
Cronberry
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Multi-Select Picklist or Campaign
lossyCronberry contact tags (single or multi-value) migrate to Salesforce multi-select picklist fields on Lead or Contact depending on the split. Tags used for campaign attribution or audience segmentation migrate to Salesforce Campaigns with CampaignMember records linking the tagged contacts.
Cronberry
Channel Configuration
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object or Field
lossyCronberry's channel credentials (Email, SMS, Push, WhatsApp sender IDs, API keys) are platform configuration data that cannot be migrated. We extract channel configuration metadata and document it in a configuration checklist so the customer's admin can reconfigure each channel in Salesforce (or via Salesforce's preferred third-party SMS/Push integrations such as Twilio, AWS SNS, or a WhatsApp Business API partner). Channel associations on contacts (which channels a contact is subscribed to) migrate as opt-in fields on Lead or Contact.
Cronberry
Form (Drag-and-Drop Builder)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Web-to-Lead or Custom Object
1:1Cronberry form definitions including field structure and conditional logic are extractable. We map the form schema to Salesforce Web-to-Lead configuration or to a custom Salesforce object if the form captures non-standard data. Visual layout and drag-and-drop design do not migrate; the customer's admin recreates the form in Salesforce's Form Builder or a third-party tool like FormAssembly or JotForm integrated via Salesforce.
Cronberry
Event Log / Behavioral Tracking
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task or Event
1:1Cronberry tracks behavioral events (opens, clicks, push interactions, form submissions) as event logs linked to contacts. We map these to Salesforce Task and Event records with a custom event type field that captures the original Cronberry interaction (e.g., email_open, sms_delivered, push_clicked). The custom Task field cronberry_event_type__c preserves the behavioral category, and the original timestamp migrates to ActivityDate for timeline ordering. Event schema mapping requires field-level review during scoping because behavioral event structure varies by Cronberry implementation.
Cronberry
Template (Email, SMS, Push)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
EmailTemplate or Content
1:1Message templates with personalization variables are migratable. We extract template content and variable placeholders from Cronberry and map them to Salesforce EmailTemplate (for email) or document them in a template handoff specification for SMS and Push templates that will be recreated in the destination channel tool (Twilio, AWS SNS, etc.). Rich formatting and HTML layout require manual review and may need adjustment in Salesforce's Content Builder or the destination channel platform.
Cronberry
User / Agent
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Cronberry user and agent records map to Salesforce User. We resolve owners by email match against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Role and permission structures differ significantly between platforms and we do not map Cronberry role hierarchies to Salesforce profiles and permission sets. Users without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.
Cronberry
Landing Page
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Experience Cloud or External Landing Page
1:1Landing Pages are rendered platform assets in Cronberry with no standard export format. We do not migrate Landing Pages. Page content must be recreated manually in Salesforce Experience Cloud or an external landing page tool. We document which landing pages exist in Cronberry (by URL if available) as part of the migration scope so the customer's marketing team can prioritize recreation.
Cronberry
Workflow / Campaign Automation
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Flow (documented, not migrated)
1:1Cronberry campaign workflows built with visual builders have no Salesforce Flow equivalent that we migrate as code. We extract every active Cronberry workflow, document its trigger conditions, action sequence, delays, and channel assignments, and deliver a written workflow inventory with recommended Salesforce Flow rebuild steps. The customer's admin or a Salesforce partner rebuilds the automations post-migration. This is outside standard migration scope.

Migration approach
Export coordination and discovery
We initiate contact with Cronberry support to request structured data exports (CSV or JSON) of Contacts, Companies, Campaigns, Segments, Templates, and any available event logs. Simultaneously, we audit the Cronberry portal for active users, segments, campaigns, forms, landing pages, and workflow count. We also inventory any available database access or API credentials the customer holds. Discovery output is a written scope document listing what data is available for export, what is missing, what requires custom extraction, and which objects will require manual recreation post-migration.
Data quality audit and deduplication planning
We run a data quality audit on the exported contacts: duplicate detection on name/email/phone, missing required-field identification, and segment membership verification. We produce a deduplication report with a recommended merge strategy and present it to the customer's sales operations lead for approval before any import begins. We also flag any records with missing or malformed phone numbers, email addresses, or company names that will cause Salesforce validation rule failures. This step typically adds one to two rounds of customer review before import begins.
Schema design in Salesforce Sandbox
We design the destination Salesforce schema in a Full Copy Sandbox: custom objects and fields for any Cronberry data that does not map to standard Salesforce fields, Salesforce List Views or Campaign structures for segment reconstruction, custom Task fields for behavioral event migration, and any custom picklist values for campaign channels and contact status. The Lead-Contact split rule is configured here based on the customer's Cronberry lifecycle or segment data. Record Types and Sales Processes are created for any deal pipeline analog present in Cronberry. Schema is validated in Sandbox before production migration begins.
Owner and user reconciliation
We extract every distinct Cronberry user and agent referenced on Contacts, Companies, Campaigns, and Engagement records and match by email against the destination Salesforce org's User table. Users without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users. Salesforce profiles and permission sets are assigned during this step based on the user's role in Cronberry (sales rep, manager, admin). Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on standard objects.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Cronberry Companies), Contacts and Leads (with the split applied and deduplication resolved), Campaigns (with channel metadata), Templates (documented for rebuild), Activity history (Task and Event records via Bulk API 2.0 with event type preserved), Custom Objects (last, after parent record resolution). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We disable Salesforce validation rules and duplicate rules temporarily during the bulk load and re-enable them after each phase completes.
Cutover, delta sync, and automation handoff
We freeze Cronberry writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver the Smart Segment reverse-engineering inventory, the campaign automation inventory, and the template handoff specification in a single document package. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Cronberry Workflows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
