Overview
Digital Signup organizes data around registrants, family units, programs, and class schedules — a registration-and-program-management model that has no direct CRM equivalent. Freshsales uses a Lead → Contact → Account → Deal model built for sales pipeline management, not enrollment tracking. FlitStack AI bridges that gap by mapping Digital Signup's registrant and program objects to Freshsales Contacts and Accounts, and Digital Signup registrations to Freshsales Deals with custom fields capturing fee amounts, payment status, and class schedules. The migration carries over every person record, program record, registration record, and attachment. What does not migrate: payment gateway configurations, waiver templates, discount rules, and automated reminder workflows — those live in Digital Signup's registration engine and must be rebuilt in Freshsales' automation tools. The migration runs against Digital Signup's export API and Freshsales' REST API, sequenced so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly: Programs (Accounts) first, then Registrants (Contacts), then Registrations (Deals) referencing the resolved parent records.
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 Digital Signup 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.
Digital Signup
Registrant
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Digital Signup's Registrant object maps directly to Freshsales Contact. Name, email, phone, address, and date_of_birth carry over as Contact fields. Registrants without a company association land as Contacts with no Account link — your team can link them to a primary Account post-migration.
Digital Signup
Registrant
Freshsales
Lead
1:manyDigital Signup registrants in 'inquiry' or 'waitlisted' status route to Freshsales Lead rather than Contact. Registration confirmed registrants land as Contacts; those who submitted interest but never enrolled become Leads for follow-up by your enrollment team. Lead status lets your enrollment team run nurture campaigns, schedule follow-ups, and score readiness before converting to Contact. Original inquiry dates are preserved as custom fields for reporting.
Digital Signup
Family Account
Freshsales
Account + Account Contact Relationship
many:1Digital Signup family accounts group multiple registrants under one household. We create one Freshsales Account named for the family (or primary adult name) and link all registrants as Contacts under it using Account Contact Relationships. Secondary adults and dependents each become separate Contact records under the same Account.
Digital Signup
Program / Class
Freshsales
Account
1:1Digital Signup programs and classes (e.g., 'Fall Soccer League', 'After-School Care') map to Freshsales Account records with the program name as Account Name and the facility as Industry or a custom Program_Type__c field. This allows Deals to be associated with the program as the Account, giving pipeline visibility by program.
Digital Signup
Facility
Freshsales
Account
1:1Digital Signup facility locations (rooms, buildings, field sites) map to Freshsales Account records. Facility name becomes Account Name; address maps to Billing Address fields. These Accounts are used as lookups when program classes reference a specific physical location. Each facility Account also stores capacity and contact details, enabling your team to view resource availability alongside program Deals.
Digital Signup
Registration
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Each Digital Signup registration becomes a Freshsales Deal. The program or class name maps to Deal Name; fee_amount maps to Amount; payment_status maps to a custom Payment_Status__c field. Deal Stage is set based on payment_status: 'Paid' = Closed Won, 'Pending' = Negotiation/Review, 'Refunded' = Closed Lost.
Digital Signup
Waitlist Entry
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Waitlisted registrations become Freshsales Deals with a custom Waitlist__c checkbox set to true. Stage defaults to a pre-registration stage so your team can track intent-to-enroll separately from confirmed registrations. The Deal's intent status is visible in pipeline reports, allowing managers to prioritize outreach and allocate capacity based on waitlist demand.
Digital Signup
Invoice / Payment Record
Freshsales
Custom Object (Invoice) or Deal Line Item
1:1Digital Signup payment records require a custom Invoice object in Freshsales (Enterprise tier) or are stored as custom fields on the Deal. Fee_amount and payment_method map to custom fields; payment_history is stored as a note attachment on the Deal for audit trail purposes.
Digital Signup
Waiver / Policy Record
Freshsales
Note + Custom Field
1:1Signed waivers and policy acceptances are stored as Note attachments on the Contact record. A Waiver_Signed__c checkbox and Waiver_Date__c custom field capture the key compliance data. Full waiver text is preserved in the note body. If waivers include signatures captured as images, those image files are attached as Files linked to the Contact for full audit retrieval.
Digital Signup
User / Instructor
Freshsales
User
1:1Digital Signup users (administrators, instructors, program coordinators) resolve by email match to Freshsales Users. Unmatched users are flagged before migration; your team either creates Freshsales user accounts first or assigns their records to a fallback owner. Instructor records also create Contact records for person-level enrollment data.
Digital Signup
Attachment / Uploaded Document
Freshsales
Freshsales Files / Attachments
1:1File attachments on registrations (birth certificates, insurance cards, medical forms) are downloaded and re-uploaded to Freshsales Files linked to the corresponding Contact or Deal record. File size limits apply — files over 25MB are flagged for chunked upload or alternative storage.

Migration approach
Export Digital Signup data and audit for duplicates
FlitStack AI connects to your Digital Signup account via scoped read access and exports all registrants, family accounts, programs, facilities, registrations, and attachments. We run a data-quality audit identifying duplicate registrants (same email, different Digital Signup IDs), incomplete address records, and orphaned registrations with missing program links. You receive a pre-migration audit report before we write a single record to Freshsales.
Design Freshsales schema and create custom fields
We map your Digital Signup schema to Freshsales and create all required custom fields (Payment_Status__c, Waiver_Signed__c, Capacity__c, etc.) and any custom objects needed for Invoice records. If your Freshsales plan is Growth and custom Deal fields are limited, we flag this upfront. Account Contact Relationships are created for family groupings. We deliver a schema setup plan for your Freshsales admin to approve before migration.
Resolve users and registrants by email match
Digital Signup users (instructors, coordinators) resolve by email to Freshsales Users — unmatched users are flagged before migration so you can create their Freshsales accounts first or assign their records to a fallback owner. Registrants without email addresses are flagged for manual review or alternative matching (phone number, name + address combination). If duplicate email addresses appear across multiple Digital Signup users, we group them and present a disambiguation list for your team to resolve before migration proceeds.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first — spanning registrants, programs, registrations, and attachments. We generate a field-level diff between the Digital Signup source and the Freshsales destination so you can verify family-grouping logic, payment_status-to-stage mapping, schedule field population, and owner resolution before the full run commits. The diff report highlights any missing values, mismatched data types, or unexpected nulls in required fields, and flags any custom field mappings that need verification. Your team can approve the sample set or request adjustments before we schedule the full migration run.
Full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against Freshsales' REST API, sequenced so Programs (Accounts) load first, then Registrants (Contacts), then Registrations (Deals) with resolved AccountId and ContactId lookups. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any Digital Signup records created or modified during the cutover. Audit log captures every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. We deliver the workflow-definition reference document for your Freshsales admin to rebuild automations.
