Overview

What this migration involves

Dr.DENTES is a dental and specialist practice management platform that stores patient records, appointment schedules, treatment plans, and billing data via a customer-gated REST API. Freshsales (Freshworks CRM) structures data around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Products, and Sales Activities — with custom fields, deal pipelines, and Freddy AI scoring available on paid plans. The migration maps Dr.DENTES patient and service records into Freshsales CRM objects, translating practice-specific fields (treatment type, recall intervals, insurance status) into Freshsales custom fields on Contact and Account records. Custom dental objects in Dr.DENTES map to Freshsales custom modules where available, or to custom fields with a reference flag for manual organisation post-migration. Activities (appointments, notes, communications) migrate as Freshsales Sales Activities. Workflows, appointment reminders, and recall automation in Dr.DENTES do not transfer — those must be rebuilt in Freshsales Workflows or via the Freshworks Marketplace after go-live. FlitStack uses the Dr.DENTES API for structured extraction and the Freshsales Bulk API for high-volume ingestion, with a sample migration and field-level diff before the full run commits.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Dr.DENTES logo

Dr.DENTES

What's pushing teams away

  • Geographic focus is Turkey first; the compliance integrations (USS/e-Nabız, e-Reçete) are irrelevant outside Turkey, and English-speaking dental practices typically need different e-prescribing connectors.
  • Very thin public review footprint — G2, Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp list the product but with minimal reviewer feedback, so prospective buyers cannot easily compare against Curve, Open Dental, or Dentrix.
  • No documented public API or developer portal limits integration with practice analytics, marketing platforms, or imaging hardware vendors.
  • Single-vendor lock-in for the e-Nabız/USS bridge means migrations off Dr.DENTES require rebuilding the Turkish compliance integration in whatever dental PM replaces it.
  • Lightweight reporting and analytics versus enterprise-tier dental PMs; reviewers and the vendor's own feature page describe analytics as 'detailed reporting' rather than a configurable BI layer.

Choosing

Freshsales logo

Freshsales

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry among major CRMs — the free tier supports up to 3 users and includes core CRM functionality before committing to per-seat pricing.
  • Built-in chat, email, and phone reduce reliance on third-party integrations for basic sales communication and contact management.
  • Freddy AI contact scoring and deal insights are included on Pro plans at a lower price than comparable HubSpot tiers.
  • Kanban pipeline views across Contacts, Accounts, and Deals provide visual deal management without requiring custom configuration.
  • Integration with the broader Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshchat, Freshservice) reduces tool sprawl for teams already using Freshworks.

Object mapping

How Dr.DENTES objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a Dr.DENTES 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.

Dr.DENTES

Patient / Contact Record

maps to

Freshsales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES patient records map directly to Freshsales Contacts. The patient's full name, date of birth, contact details, and address migrate as Contact fields. Owner is resolved by email match against Freshsales users; unmatched records are flagged before migration commits. Custom fields such as treatment_type and insurance_provider are mapped to Freshsales custom fields on the Contact object during the migration.

Dr.DENTES

Patient Record (unconverted lead)

maps to

Freshsales

Lead

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES patients who have not yet booked a first appointment map to Freshsales Leads. The Lead captures contact details, lead source (referral, walk-in, marketing), and any Dr.DENTES custom fields such as 'inquiry_type'. Conversion creates a linked Contact and Account. Unconverted Leads remain available in Freshsales for follow-up campaigns and future appointment scheduling.

Dr.DENTES

Practice / Clinic Account

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Each Dr.DENTES clinic or practice location maps to a Freshsales Account. Account stores clinic name, address, phone, and industry classification (Healthcare/Dental). Multi-location practices create parent Account relationships in Freshsales using the Parent Account field. This hierarchy enables roll-up reporting of revenue, patient volume, and practitioner productivity across all clinic locations from the parent Account.

Dr.DENTES

Treatment Case / Appointment Event

maps to

Freshsales

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES treatment cases and completed appointment events transform into Freshsales Deals. Each deal captures the patient (Contact), clinic (Account), treatment type, estimated billing, and pipeline stage (New Appointment → In Treatment → Invoiced → Closed Won/Lost). Deal owner maps to the Dr.DENTES practitioner or office manager.

Dr.DENTES

Appointment Schedule

maps to

Freshsales

Sales Activity

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES appointment slots migrate as Freshsales Sales Activities with Type='Appointment'. Start time, end time, practitioner (owner), patient (Contact lookup), and clinic (Account lookup) are preserved. Cancelled appointments migrate with status='Cancelled' for historical reporting. The appointment duration is calculated by adding duration_minutes to the start_date to determine the end_date in Freshsales.

Dr.DENTES

Treatment Note / Clinical Record

maps to

Freshsales

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Clinical notes and treatment summaries in Dr.DENTES migrate as Freshsales Notes attached to the relevant Contact or Deal record. Original timestamps and author (owner) are preserved. Notes exceeding 32 KB are split across multiple Freshsales Note records. The Note title includes the original Dr.DENTES record identifier for traceability back to the source system.

Dr.DENTES

Recall / Re-engagement Record

maps to

Freshsales

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES recall intervals and re-engagement reminders transform into Freshsales Tasks on the Contact record with a due date. The recall reason (e.g., '6-month checkup', 'treatment follow-up') is stored as the Task subject. Completed recalls migrate as closed Tasks. The Task includes a reference to the original Dr.DENTES recall interval and the last appointment date that triggered the recall.

Dr.DENTES

Billing / Insurance Record

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Field on Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Insurance provider, policy number, coverage percentage, and outstanding balance from Dr.DENTES billing records migrate to Freshsales custom fields on the Deal object (Insurance_Provider__c, Coverage_Percent__c, Outstanding_Balance__c). These fields are created in Freshsales before the migration run. The custom field mapping ensures insurance information is available on every Deal for billing follow-up and financial reporting in Freshsales.

Dr.DENTES

Custom Dental Module

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Module / Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES custom modules (e.g., imaging records, lab work tracking, prescribed medications) map to Freshsales custom fields on the Contact or Deal object. Where the source module has multiple related records per patient, a Freshsales custom module is created via the Freshworks developer platform.

Dr.DENTES

Practitioner / Staff User

maps to

Freshsales

User

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES practitioner and staff accounts map to Freshsales Users by email address. Active/inactive status and role (Dentist, Hygienist, Office Manager, Receptionist) are stored in Freshsales User fields. Unmatched practitioners are flagged for admin review before the migration. Each User receives the appropriate Freshsales role and profile settings based on their Dr.DENTES role during migration.

Dr.DENTES

Product / Service Item

maps to

Freshsales

Product

1:1
Fully supported

Treatment codes, service descriptions, and pricing from Dr.DENTES migrate to Freshsales Products with unit price. Products are linked to Deals via Deal Products (line items) for billing and quote generation in Freshsales. The Product code from Dr.DENTES is stored in the Freshsales Product description field for reference during billing reconciliation.

Dr.DENTES

Workflow / Automation Rule

maps to

Freshsales

Freshsales Workflow

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES appointment reminders, recall sequences, and patient communication automations have no direct equivalent in Freshsales. FlitStack exports the workflow definitions as a rebuild reference document for the Freshsales admin. Workflow recreation is a separate project scoped post-migration. The reference document includes trigger conditions, interval settings, and notification methods used in each Dr.DENTES automation.

Dr.DENTES

Integration Connection

maps to

Freshsales

Freshworks Marketplace / API

1:1
Fully supported

Third-party integrations connected to Dr.DENTES (imaging software, lab portals, payment processors) must be rebuilt as Freshworks Marketplace apps or custom API integrations. FlitStack documents the connection endpoints and credentials for the migration team. The documentation includes API endpoint URLs, authentication requirements, and data formats used by each integration for reconstruction in the Freshworks ecosystem.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Appointment-to-Deal mapping requires a business-rule decision before migration

    Dr.DENTES appointments are the primary record type; Freshsales Deals are the pipeline unit. A single patient may have multiple appointments across treatment phases, but each maps to one Freshsales Deal representing the full treatment case. FlitStack surfaces the mapping plan (which Dr.DENTES appointment events become Deals, which become Activities) before migration runs. If your practice tracks each procedure as a separate billable event, you may need multiple Deals per patient — the mapping plan documents this and your team confirms the rule before data lands.

  • Custom dental fields need Freshsales field creation before migration runs

    Dr.DENTES custom fields for treatment type, insurance provider, recall interval, and imaging reference do not exist in Freshsales by default. Freshsales requires Admin Settings configuration to create matching custom fields before the migration batch imports data — otherwise those values land as null. FlitStack delivers a pre-migration Freshsales field-creation checklist so the schema is ready before the first record is ingested. Field types (pick-list, number, date, text) must match Dr.DENTES data formats or the import rejects those records.

  • Recall and appointment-reminder automations do not migrate and must be rebuilt

    Dr.DENTES recall scheduling (e.g., 6-month hygiene recall, annual checkup reminder) is a platform-native workflow with no Freshsales equivalent in the same object. Freshsales Workflows can replicate recall logic — a Task created on the Contact with a due date calculated from last_appointment_date — but this requires Freshsales admin configuration post-migration. FlitStack exports the Dr.DENTES recall rules as a rebuild reference document including trigger conditions, interval values, and notification targets. This reference outlines the original workflow name, patient segment targeted, time interval between recalls, and communication method used (email, SMS, or in-app notification) so the Freshsales admin can rebuild equivalent automation using Freshsales Workflows or the Freshworks Marketplace.

  • Multi-location hierarchy requires parent Account resolution before child records migrate

    Dental groups running multiple Dr.DENTES instances (separate clinics under one group) need to consolidate into Freshsales Accounts with parent-child relationships. The parent clinic must be migrated and committed in Freshsales before child clinic records reference it via Parent Account. Circular references (Clinic A lists Clinic B as parent, Clinic B lists Clinic A) are flagged before migration. Practices with more than five locations should schedule a pre-migration discovery call to map the full hierarchy correctly.

  • Dr.DENTES API access requires an active customer credential

    Dr.DENTES grants API access exclusively to active paying customers and requires email contact with the Dr.DENTES company to obtain endpoint credentials. FlitStack cannot initiate a migration extraction without valid API keys. If the practice has cancelled Dr.DENTES, data export may be limited to CSV downloads from the Dr.DENTES admin panel — which constrains what object and field data can be extracted. FlitStack's discovery call confirms API availability before scoping the migration engagement.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Dr.DENTES to Freshsales data migration

  1. Confirm Dr.DENTES API access and run discovery extraction

    FlitStack obtains Dr.DENTES API credentials (base_url and access token) from the practice admin. We run a discovery extraction across all accessible objects — Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Activities, Products, Users, and custom modules — to document the full schema and record counts. The discovery report confirms object availability, custom field definitions, and any data-quality flags (duplicate records, missing required fields) before we write the migration plan.

  2. Create Freshsales custom fields and configure the target schema

    Before any data is ingested, FlitStack delivers a Freshsales field-creation checklist: every Dr.DENTES custom field (treatment_type, insurance_provider, recall_interval, imaging_reference, outstanding_balance) is mapped to a Freshsales custom field with the correct type (pick-list, number, text, currency, date). The Freshsales admin creates these fields under Admin Settings. Pipeline stages in Freshsales are configured to match Dr.DENTES case stages (New, In Treatment, Awaiting Payment, Completed) with probability values and forecast categories.

  3. Resolve owner and user mappings by email match

    Dr.DENTES practitioner and staff IDs are matched against Freshsales users by email address. Unmatched owners are flagged with their Dr.DENTES name and email so the Freshsales admin can invite them to the workspace before migration runs. Contacts with no associated owner are assigned to a designated fallback Freshsales user. Products and Deal owners are resolved in the same pass to avoid orphan records.

  4. Run a sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 200–500 records migrates first — spanning Contacts across different treatment types, Deals at different stages, and Activities with various owners. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against Freshsales field values for every mapped field. Your team reviews the diff to confirm treatment_type values landed in the correct Freshsales pick-list, recall intervals are numeric, outstanding balances are in the right currency format, and owner resolution is accurate before the full run commits.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover window

    The full dataset migrates using Freshsales Bulk API for high-volume contacts and accounts, with individual API calls for Deals and Activities to preserve relationship links. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Dr.DENTES during the cutover. FlitStack generates an audit log of every record operation (create, update, link) and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation uncovers unexpected mapping behaviour. Post-migration, the Dr.DENTES workflow-export document is handed off for Freshsales Workflow recreation.

Most Dr.DENTES-to-Freshsales migrations complete within 24–72 hours of clock time for under 30,000 patient records. Larger practices with 30,000–100,000 records or complex multi-location hierarchies extend to 5–10 days. The longest step is Freshsales schema setup (creating custom fields and configuring pipeline stages) before the first record is ingested — this runs in parallel with discovery and typically takes 1–2 business days. The delta-pickup cutover window adds 24–48 hours to the final timeline.
