Overview
Moving from Encharge to Salesforce Sales Cloud is a platform switch from a marketing automation and behavioral tracking tool into a full CRM with enterprise-grade sales, service, and analytics capabilities. Encharge's People records map 1:1 to Salesforce Contacts, Accounts map to Accounts, and Tags preserve as Topics or custom multi-select fields. Behavioral activity data (email opens, page views, custom events) migrates to Salesforce Task records to preserve audit history, though Salesforce does not have a native behavioral tracking canvas comparable to Encharge's Activity log. Flows, Segments, and automation triggers cannot be exported from Encharge and must be rebuilt in Salesforce Flow; we document the full trigger-and-condition tree during scoping and deliver it as a written rebuild spec. Email Templates migrate as HTML and are reimported as Salesforce Documents. We use the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 for activity and engagement migrations, with parent-record lookup resolution ensuring all history attaches to the correct Contact and Account.
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 Encharge 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.
Encharge
People
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Encharge People records map directly to Salesforce Contact. Standard fields (email, firstname, lastname, phone, address) map to their Salesforce counterparts. Encharge custom person fields migrate as Salesforce custom Contact fields (__c suffix). The email field on Contact is the dedupe key during import. We resolve the related Account via Encharge's company link before insert to satisfy the AccountId Lookup.
Encharge
Accounts
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Encharge Accounts map to Salesforce Account. The domain field from Encharge populates Account.Website, and Account.Name pulls from the company name. Accounts insert first so that Contact import resolves AccountId lookups at migration time. Company custom fields migrate as Account custom fields.
Encharge
Tags
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Topic or Custom Multi-Select Picklist
lossyEncharge tags are flat string labels per Person. We export all tag assignments and either recreate them as Salesforce Topics with TopicAssignment records (better for content and interest taxonomy) or as a custom multi-select picklist field on Contact (better for segmentation logic the admin controls). The customer chooses during scoping. Tags used for lead status classification map to Contact.Status or a custom picklist field.
Encharge
Custom Objects
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object
1:1Encharge Custom Objects (Deals, Orders, Invoices, or any domain entity) migrate to Salesforce custom objects of equivalent API name. We pre-create the destination schema including all custom fields, lookup relationships to standard objects, and validation rules in a Salesforce Sandbox before production migration. Custom object records insert after parent Accounts and Contacts are confirmed to satisfy lookup constraints.
Encharge
Flows
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Flow (documentation only)
lossyEncharge Flows store automation logic as JSON referencing triggers, conditions, wait-step durations, and downstream actions. There is no public export endpoint. We document the full Flow tree during scoping as a written specification including trigger event, every conditional branch, delay timers, and action sequence. The customer uses this specification to rebuild Flows in Salesforce Flow Builder. Flows do not migrate as code.
Encharge
Segments
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign or Static Group (documentation)
lossyEncharge Segments are dynamic filter-based groups of People. We export the segment definition including filter rules, operator logic, and include/exclude criteria as a written segmentation specification. In Salesforce, dynamic segments are approximated by Campaign with member status or by List Views, but the live refresh behavior does not migrate. Static membership migrates as CampaignMember records.
Encharge
Activities
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task and Event
1:1Encharge Activities recording email opens, page views, and custom behavioral events migrate to Salesforce Task records. The event name maps to Task.Subject, the timestamp maps to Task.ActivityDate, and the behavioral metadata (page URL, event property) maps to custom Task fields. Salesforce does not have a native behavioral tracking canvas; this mapping preserves audit history but requires post-migration configuration for behavioral reporting dashboards.
Encharge
Engagement: Email
Salesforce Sales Cloud
EmailMessage and Task
1:1Encharge email engagements migrate to Salesforce EmailMessage records (the content body) and a paired Task record (the activity timeline entry). The WhoId on Task points to the related Contact; WhatId points to the related Account or Opportunity. Email status (sent, bounced, opened) migrates as a custom field on EmailMessage because Salesforce's standard EmailStatus field is not directly writable via Bulk API.
Encharge
Engagement: Call
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task (TaskSubtype = Call)
1:1Encharge call engagements map to Salesforce Task with TaskSubtype = Call. Call duration, disposition, and any recording URL migrate as custom Task fields. ActivityDate preserves the original timestamp so the call appears in the correct position on the Contact's activity timeline.
Encharge
Engagement: Meeting
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Event
1:1Encharge meeting engagements map to Salesforce Event with StartDateTime, EndDateTime, and Location preserved. Attendee relationships migrate as EventRelation records linking the Contact and any related User attendees. Subject and description fields carry the meeting title and notes.
Encharge
Engagement: Note
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note or ContentDocument
1:1Encharge notes migrate to Salesforce Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent Contact, Account, or custom object record. Note body migrates as plain text with image attachments preserved as ContentDocument records where Encharge stores them inline.
Encharge
Email Templates
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Document or ContentVersion
1:1Encharge Email Templates are stored as HTML with subject line, sender name, and inline styles. We export each template as an HTML file and import it into Salesforce as a Document (Classic) or ContentVersion (Lightning) record. Dynamic personalization tokens (such as Encharge's first_name and company_name merge fields) require manual rebuild in Salesforce's merge field syntax because the token schemas differ between platforms.
Encharge
Campaigns
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign
1:1Encharge Campaigns (groupings of email sends and automation steps) map to Salesforce Campaign with Campaign.Name and Campaign.Status preserved. The campaign-flow association does not export; we document which Encharge Flows enrolled which Campaigns so the customer can plan Salesforce Flow equivalents and Campaign member assignments post-migration.
Encharge
Users
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User (reconciliation required)
1:1Encharge Users (team members assigned as Flow owners and sending identities) are reconciled against Salesforce Users by email match. Any Encharge User without a matching Salesforce User enters a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import begins. Migration cannot proceed past Engagement import because OwnerId references on Task and Event require a valid Salesforce User.

Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the Encharge account for People count, Account count, tag volume, active Flows, Segments, Custom Objects and their schemas, engagement record volume, and Email Template count. We pair this with a Salesforce edition review: Sales Cloud Starter ($25/user) covers basic migrations; Professional ($80/user) enables custom objects, multiple sales processes, and opportunity split; Enterprise ($165/user) adds record-triggered Flow at scale. The discovery output is a written scope document including object-level row counts, a preliminary mapping table, and a Salesforce edition recommendation.
Flow documentation and automation handoff spec
We document every active Encharge Flow during the scoping call using screenshots, written descriptions, and walkthroughs provided by the customer's Encharge admin. The output is a structured rebuild specification covering trigger event, all conditional branches with operator logic, wait-step durations, and downstream CRM actions. We present this as a rebuild checklist ordered by business priority so the customer's Salesforce admin or implementation partner can recreate Flows in Salesforce Flow Builder after migration. Segments receive equivalent written segmentation specifications.
Schema pre-creation in Salesforce Sandbox
We create the destination Salesforce schema in a Sandbox org before any data migration. This includes provisioning custom objects (with __c API names matching Encharge custom object names), custom fields on Contact and Account (mapped from Encharge custom person and company fields), Record Types and Sales Processes if the customer uses multiple pipelines, and Topic definitions for tag migration. Schema deploys via metadata API and is validated against a sample data set before production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and record reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Salesforce Sandbox using production-equivalent data volumes. The customer's RevOps lead validates record counts, spot-checks 25-50 records against Encharge source data, and confirms that tag assignments, activity timestamps, and custom object relationships resolve correctly. Mapping corrections identified during sandbox reconciliation are applied before production migration begins. Validation rules and required-field constraints are confirmed disabled or exempted for the migration user at this stage.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in dependency order: Accounts (from Encharge Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), custom object parent records, Activity history via Bulk API 2.0 (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages with parent-record lookup resolution), Tags (as Topics or multi-select picklist per scoping choice), Email Templates as ContentVersion, and Campaigns. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Owner reconciliation validates that every Encharge User has a matching Salesforce User by email before Engagement phases run.
Cutover, delta sync, and Flow rebuild handoff
We freeze Encharge 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 Flow rebuild specification and Segment specification documents to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Encharge Flows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
