Overview
Moving from Delivra to Freshsales is a shift from a marketing-automation-centric platform built around contacts, segments, and campaigns to a sales CRM built around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals. The most significant structural difference is Delivra's Custom Tables with 1:1, 1:many, and many:many relationships, which do not have a direct equivalent in Freshsales and require flattening into standard contact properties, custom fields, or a separate lookup table. We extract the full Delivra schema including relationship types, denormalize where necessary, and map to Freshsales Contacts with custom fields and the native Products/Pricebook model where applicable. Lead scoring values migrate as custom numeric fields. Automated Workflows, Segments, Email Templates, and Forms do not migrate as code; we deliver written inventories of each with Freshsales equivalents. Freshsales's built-in phone, email, Freddy AI scoring, and per-seat pricing model represent the operational shift teams are making when leaving Delivra.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Delivra 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.
Delivra
Contact
Freshsales
Lead or Contact
1:manyDelivra contacts with lifecycle stages indicating early-stage prospects (subscriber, lead) map to Freshsales Lead. Contacts with lifecycle stages indicating sales-qualified or customer status map to Freshsales Contact tied to an Account. The split is computed using Delivra's lifecycle_stage property and stored as a custom text field original_lifecycle_stage__c on the destination record for audit. Email address is the dedupe key for both Lead and Contact migration.
Delivra
Contact
Freshsales
Account + Contact
lossyDelivra contact records that represent company-level information (organization name, industry, employee count stored as contact properties) are mapped to Freshsales Account records, with the individual contact mapped to a Contact record linked via AccountId. We extract the primary organization identifier from Delivra contact properties and create the Account before the Contact insert to satisfy the lookup dependency.
Delivra
Custom Table
Freshsales
Contact Custom Fields
lossyDelivra Custom Tables with 1:1 relationships to contacts flatten into Freshsales custom fields on the Contact object. We extract each table's column schema, map data types to Freshsales field types (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox), and import the values as custom field data. This approach preserves the data without the relational structure, which Freshsales does not support at the Contact level for external table references.
Delivra
Custom Table (1:many)
Freshsales
Custom Object or Product
1:manyDelivra Custom Tables with 1:many relationships (e.g., contacts linked to multiple subscriptions, properties, or contracts) require a split. We flatten these to a Freshsales custom object with a lookup to Contact, storing the relationship as a denormalized contact_id field. For product-like data (items, SKUs, pricing), we evaluate mapping to Freshsales Product2 records and Pricebook entries if the table structure aligns with a standard product model.
Delivra
Campaign
Freshsales
Contact Custom Fields or Note
1:1Delivra campaign records include name, status, and targeting criteria. We extract campaign membership data as a custom multi-select picklist on Contact capturing campaign names, or as a Note attached to the Contact record. Freshsales does not have a native campaign marketing object at the CRM tier, so the campaign context is preserved as descriptive metadata rather than a first-class object.
Delivra
Segment
Freshsales
Contact Custom Fields (Tag-style)
lossyDelivra segment definitions use filter conditions on contact properties. We extract the segment membership for each contact and store it as a custom multi-select picklist on the Freshsales Contact. The segment criteria logic is documented in a written inventory for the customer to re-implement as Freshsales static lists or workflow filters.
Delivra
Lead Scoring
Freshsales
Contact Custom Fields (numeric)
1:1Delivra lead scoring values (point-based scores from standard or advanced scoring) migrate as a custom numeric field score__c on Freshsales Contact. The scoring model rules and weight definitions are documented in a written handoff so the customer's admin can re-implement the model using Freshsales Freddy AI scoring on Pro and above or custom workflow rules on Growth.
Delivra
Engagement Data
Freshsales
Task and Event
1:1Delivra click tracking, open tracking, and engagement metrics associated with contacts migrate as Freshsales Task records. Email opens and clicks become tasks of type Email; form submissions become tasks of type form_submission with custom fields for the form name. Activity timestamps are preserved as ActivityDate on the task. Freshsales's native activity timeline displays these records in chronological order against the contact.
Delivra
Email Template
Freshsales
Freshsales Email Templates
1:1Delivra email templates built with the drag-and-drop editor are extracted as HTML and converted to Freshsales email templates. We extract template content, subject line, and personalization tokens. Complex conditional content and dynamic blocks that rely on Delivra-specific syntax are flagged as requiring manual re-creation in Freshsales's template editor. The written template inventory identifies which templates are ready for direct import versus which require rebuild.
Delivra
User
Freshsales
User
1:1Delivra user accounts with role-based permissions migrate by email match to Freshsales User records. Delivra role definitions (Account Admin, Custom Roles, Team Collaboration) are documented in a written permissions matrix that the customer's Freshsales admin uses to assign Freshsales profiles and permission sets. Unlimited user seats on Delivra map to a per-seat Freshsales license count during migration scoping.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and schema extraction
We audit the source Delivra account across contacts, Custom Tables (including relationship types), segments, lead scoring models, campaigns, email templates, and active workflows. We extract the full Custom Table schema including column names, data types, and relationship definitions. We also obtain the API specifications and SFTP credentials by coordinating with Delivra Support since these are not self-serve. The discovery output is a written migration scope document covering record counts, schema map, and the split logic for contacts into Freshsales Leads and Contacts.
Freshsales destination schema setup
We provision the Freshsales destination schema before any data moves. This includes creating custom fields on Contact and Account to receive flattened Custom Table data, creating custom numeric fields for lead scoring values, creating custom picklist fields for segment membership, and configuring the Lead conversion mapping using Delivra contact properties as source fields. If the customer requires custom modules (Enterprise tier), we provision these with the required lookup relationships. The schema is validated in a Freshsales sandbox or trial account before production migration begins.
Data cleansing and test migration
We export contacts from Delivra via SFTP or API, deduplicate by email address, and resolve any orphaned records from incomplete Custom Table relationships. We run a test migration importing a sample set of records (typically 100-500 records) into the Freshsales destination to validate field mapping, confirm custom field creation, and verify the Lead-Contact split logic. The customer reviews the test output and signs off before the full production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts first (from Delivra contact organization properties), then Contacts (with the Lifecycle Stage split applied), then Leads (for early-stage contacts), then Custom Table data (flattened into custom fields or custom objects), then engagement history as Tasks and Events. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Freshsales CSV import for structured records and the Freshsales API for custom object inserts.
Workflow and automation inventory delivery
We deliver a written inventory of every active Delivra Automated Workflow and Segment. For each workflow, we document the trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Freshsales Workflow equivalent. For each segment, we document the filter criteria and recommend Freshsales static list or filter logic. Email templates are inventoried with a conversion status (ready for import, requires rebuild, conditional content flagged). The customer uses this inventory to rebuild automations in Freshsales post-migration.
Cutover and validation
We freeze Delivra writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window, then enable Freshsales as the system of record. We validate record counts across all objects, spot-check 25-50 migrated records against the Delivra source, and confirm that the Lead-Contact split is correct for all lifecycle stages. We deliver a final migration report with record counts, error logs, and the handoff checklist. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues.
