Overview
Moving from Delivra to Salesforce Sales Cloud is a migration from a marketing automation platform into a full CRM. Delivra organizes data around Contacts, Custom Tables with relational structures, Campaigns, and Automated Workflows. Salesforce Sales Cloud separates prospects into Leads, qualified buyers into Contacts attached to Accounts, and deal progress into Opportunities with a Stage pipeline. We resolve the Lead-versus-Contact decision during scoping, translate Delivra Custom Tables into Salesforce Custom Objects (preserving relationship types where possible), and migrate contact properties, campaign metadata, and engagement history through the Bulk API. Delivra workflows and automation logic do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow with its trigger, conditions, and recommended Salesforce Flow equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild. Segments, lead scoring models, email templates, and web forms also require re-implementation in Salesforce or replacement with Salesforce-native equivalents.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Delivra 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.
Delivra
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead or Contact (split required)
1:manyDelivra Contacts with a lifecycle stage of subscriber, lead, or marketing qualified lead map to Salesforce Lead. Delivra Contacts at sales qualified or customer stage map to Salesforce Contact tied to a Salesforce Account. We compute the split using Delivra's lifecycle_stage and current_status properties at migration time, and preserve the original Delivra lifecycle stage in a custom field delivra_original_lifecycle__c on both Lead and Contact for audit and reporting continuity.
Delivra
Custom Table (1:1)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object
1:1Delivra Custom Tables with a 1:1 relationship to Contact (such as a demographic extension table or address book) map to a Salesforce Custom Object with a lookup field pointing to the Contact record. We create the Custom Object __c API name to mirror the Delivra table name, set up the Contact lookup field, and migrate every row with the Contact's Delivra contact_id preserved as an external ID for lookup resolution.
Delivra
Custom Table (1:many)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object
1:manyDelivra Custom Tables with a 1:many relationship (one Contact to many related records, such as subscriptions, policies, or properties) map to a Salesforce Custom Object with a lookup to Contact. The Contact is created first, then each related Custom Table row is imported with the Contact lookup resolved via the external ID. We preserve the relationship hierarchy by denormalizing the foreign key as a text field on the Salesforce record for audit.
Delivra
Custom Table (many:many)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object + Junction Object
lossyDelivra Custom Tables with many:many relationships (such as contacts linked to multiple products or events) require a junction object in Salesforce. We extract the junction table, create a Salesforce Custom Object representing each side of the relationship, and build a Custom Object junction with two lookup fields. This is the most complex Custom Table scenario and requires a dedicated mapping phase during scoping.
Delivra
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign
1:1Delivra Campaign records map to Salesforce Campaign. The campaign name, status (active, draft, archived), targeting criteria, and associated contact list membership migrate as Campaign records with CampaignMember records linking to the migrated Contacts. Campaign content (email body, subject line) is extracted as HTML and attached as a ContentDocument to the Campaign for reference.
Delivra
Segment / List
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign + Static Campaign List
1:1Delivra Segments are defined by filter conditions based on contact properties and behaviors. We extract the segment criteria for each list and document them as a written filter specification. Segments cannot migrate as live Salesforce Campaigns because Salesforce Campaigns use manual CampaignMember adds rather than dynamic filter-based membership. We create the equivalent Salesforce Campaign per segment and document the original filter logic for the customer's admin to re-implement using Salesforce Reports as campaign audiences.
Delivra
Lead Scoring
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields + Salesforce Lead Scoring (add-on)
1:1Delivra's lead scoring models (demographic and behavioral point values) migrate as custom numeric fields on the Salesforce Lead or Contact object. The scoring values transfer as raw numbers. Salesforce's native Lead Scoring product (a paid add-on available from Professional tier) is the recommended replacement for ongoing scoring logic, and we include a written recommendation for the customer's admin to evaluate it post-migration.
Delivra
Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Delivra Users map to Salesforce User records. We resolve Delivra owners by email match against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any Delivra owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Active versus inactive status is preserved in a custom field on User.
Delivra
Engagement: Email
Salesforce Sales Cloud
EmailMessage + Task
1:1Delivra email engagement history (sends, opens, clicks, replies) migrates to Salesforce EmailMessage records (email content) linked to a Task record (activity timeline entry). The WhoId on Task points to the migrated Lead or Contact; WhatId points to the related Campaign or Account. Engagement timestamps are preserved by setting ActivityDate to the original Delivra engagement timestamp.
Delivra
Engagement: Click Tracking
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Activity Fields
1:1Delivra click tracking data (URL clicked, timestamp, contact) migrates as custom Task fields on the associated email engagement record. For high-volume click histories, we aggregate per-contact click counts into a custom field (total_clicks__c) to avoid record explosion, and store a summary record as a Campaign Activity note.
Delivra
Engagement: Form Submit
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1Delivra form submission events migrate as Salesforce Task records with TaskSubtype = Submit and a custom field form_name__c carrying the original Delivra form identifier. Submission timestamp migrates as ActivityDate. If the form was part of a Delivra workflow, the workflow is documented in the handoff inventory rather than recreated in Salesforce.
Delivra
Email Template
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Email Template + ContentDocument
1:1Delivra email templates built with the drag-and-drop editor migrate as Salesforce Email Templates. We extract the template HTML and body content, convert it to Salesforce-compatible HTML, and create EmailTemplate records. Complex templates with conditional content or dynamic snippets require manual review and may need re-building in Salesforce's Lightning Email Template builder. We flag any template that cannot be auto-converted during the template audit phase.

Migration approach
Discovery and Delivra schema extraction
We audit the source Delivra account across all objects including contact count, Custom Table schemas (with relationship types), active workflows, segments, campaigns, lead scoring models, email templates, and engagement volume estimates. We contact Delivra Support to obtain API technical specifications or confirm SFTP export credentials. The discovery output is a written migration scope document that identifies every object to migrate, every object to flag as a rebuild candidate, and a preliminary object mapping for Customer Table relationships.
Schema design and Salesforce sandbox setup
We design the destination schema in Salesforce. This includes provisioning Custom Objects (with __c API names matched to Delivra Custom Table names), lookup and master-detail relationships for relational tables, custom fields for lead scoring values and engagement metrics, and Record Types if multiple campaign or contact types require separate page layouts. We also configure the Lead-Contact split rule based on the customer's Delivra lifecycle stage matrix. Schema is deployed into a Salesforce Sandbox via metadata API for validation before any data moves.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps or marketing operations lead reconciles record counts across all objects, spot-checks 25-50 records per object against the Delivra source, and validates that custom field values transferred correctly. Custom Table relationship integrity is verified for all three relationship types (1:1, 1:many, many:many). The customer signs off the mapping and schema before production migration begins.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Delivra user referenced as an owner on contacts, campaigns, and engagement records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any Delivra owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions missing Users (and deactivates any that correspond to former employees). OwnerId references are required on most standard objects before migration can proceed.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated), Accounts (created before Contacts if any Contact-to-Account relationship exists), Leads and Contacts (with the lifecycle stage split applied), Custom Objects (1:1 tables first, then 1:many, then many:many junction objects last), Campaigns and CampaignMembers, engagement history via Bulk API 2.0 (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages), lead scoring values, and email templates. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. For Custom Tables, we apply the denormalized foreign key strategy to preserve relational context without native many:many support.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Delivra 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 validate engagement timestamps, Custom Table relationships, and campaign membership counts against the Delivra source. We deliver the workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. Workflow rebuilds, Flow creation, and Salesforce Lead Scoring setup are outside standard scope and are handed off as separate work for the customer's admin or a Salesforce implementation partner.
