Overview

What this migration involves

Enkrypt Legal-PRO organizes law-firm data around Clients, Matters, and secure communications — a model optimized for legal workflow but structurally unlike Freshsales' lead-to-close CRM graph. The migration carries Enkrypt's client records and matter history into Freshsales Contacts and Deals, maps secure-message threads to Freshsales Notes with original timestamps, and preserves custom fields like billing rates and practice-area tags. Matters with open tasks and appointments migrate as Freshsales Tasks and Events. The primary translation challenge is Enkrypt's legal billing and trust-accounting fields, which have no native Freshsales equivalent and require custom fields or manual re-entry post-migration. FlitStack uses API-based extraction from Enkrypt and bulk import into Freshsales, sequencing matters before contacts so foreign-key resolution follows Freshsales' Account-then-Contact dependency. A sample migration with field-level diff validates the mapping before the full run commits. FlitStack maintains a comprehensive audit log of every extraction, transformation, and load operation, enabling traceability and quick issue resolution during the cutover window.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Enkrypt Legal-PRO logo

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

What's pushing teams away

  • The platform is primarily positioned for criminal law practices, so general civil or transactional firms find the workflow templates misaligned with their case types.
  • Limited third-party integrations beyond basic calendaring mean firms using multiple specialized tools face data silos that require manual re-entry.
  • Smokeball and Clio dominate the legal practice management market with larger ecosystems, more robust reporting, and stronger network effects for referrals.

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 Enkrypt Legal-PRO objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a Enkrypt Legal-PRO 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.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

Client

maps to

Freshsales

Contact + Account

many:1
Fully supported

Enkrypt clients merge into both a Freshsales Contact record (primary person) and an Account record (firm or organization). The firm's name becomes Account.Name; the primary attorney or client contact becomes Contact.FirstName and Contact.LastName. If the client is an individual, the Account stores the individual's name as the company name for Freshsales' relational integrity.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

Matter

maps to

Freshsales

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Enkrypt matters map directly to Freshsales Deals. Matter name becomes Deal.Name; matter status maps to Freshsales Deal stage via value mapping (Active, Pending, Closed). Amount fields on matters (billing rates, retainer values) map to Deal.Amount. The original matter number is preserved in a custom field for reference.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

Matter

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Module (Enterprise)

1:1
Fully supported

If your Enkrypt setup uses multi-record matter structures (e.g., related cases, sub-matters), Freshsales Enterprise Custom Modules provide a way to recreate the parent-child matter hierarchy. We map parent-matter IDs to the custom module's association field and flag records that need manual consolidation before the full run.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

Secure Message

maps to

Freshsales

Note

1:1
Fully supported

Enkrypt's encrypted client-portal messages export as text threads with sender, timestamp, and message body. Each message thread becomes a Freshsales Note attached to the Contact or Deal. The encryption flag from Enkrypt is stored as a Note custom field (Encrypted__c) set to true. Original sender and timestamp are preserved in Note.Title and Note creation date.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

Appointment

maps to

Freshsales

Task + Event

1:1
Fully supported

Enkrypt appointments with clients map to Freshsales Events (for calendar-block appointments) and Tasks (for to-do items). Event.StartDateTime and Event.EndDateTime carry the original appointment time; Task.Subject and Task.Due Date carry the action item. Owner resolution by email match applies to both.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

Document

maps to

Freshsales

Files

1:1
Fully supported

Enkrypt documents attached to matters are downloaded and re-uploaded to Freshsales Files attached to the corresponding Deal. File size limits per Freshsales plan apply (Enterprise provides 100GB per user; lower plans are more constrained). We preserve the original file name and upload date.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

Trust Account Transaction

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Fields on Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Enkrypt trust-accounting transactions (deposits, withdrawals, balance) have no native Freshsales equivalent. We map the most recent trust balance to a custom currency field on the Deal and flag the record with Trust_Account__c = true so your team can reconcile manually or build a custom module in Freshsales Enterprise.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

Billing Rate / Fee Schedule

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Fields on Deal + Product

1:1
Fully supported

Enkrypt billing rates and fee schedules per matter map to custom fields on the Freshsales Deal (e.g., Hourly_Rate__c, Billing_Method__c). If your firm uses line-item billing, we can also map fee schedules to Freshsales Products and link them to the Deal for quote generation.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

Client Custom Properties

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Fields on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Enkrypt custom properties attached to clients (e.g., referral source, bar number, practice area tags) map to Freshsales custom fields on Contact. Each property name becomes a Contact custom field; the field type (text, picklist, number) is inferred from the Enkrypt data and created in Freshsales before migration. We flag any pick-list value mappings that need Freshsales admin configuration.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

Matter Custom Properties

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Fields on Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Enkrypt matter-level custom fields (e.g., case type, court jurisdiction, opposing counsel) map to Freshsales Deal custom fields. These fields are created in Freshsales before migration; field types are inferred from source data. Multi-select pick-list values in Enkrypt are mapped to Freshsales multi-select pick-list fields.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

User / Attorney

maps to

Freshsales

User

1:1
Fully supported

Enkrypt users (attorneys, paralegals, staff) are resolved by email match against Freshsales users. Unmatched users are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to Freshsales or assigns their records to a fallback owner. Enkrypt user roles map to Freshsales profile assignments as a post-migration step.

Enkrypt Legal-PRO

Matter Activity Log

maps to

Freshsales

Note + Task History

1:1
Fully supported

Enkrypt matter activity logs (status changes, document uploads, billing entries) are imported as Freshsales Notes attached to the Deal. Each log entry carries the original timestamp and actor. This preserves the matter's audit trail in Freshsales without requiring custom object creation.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Trust-accounting fields have no Freshsales native equivalent

    Enkrypt's trust-accounting module tracks client funds held in trust — deposits, withdrawals, and running balances per matter. Freshsales has no native trust-accounting object. FlitStack migrates the most recent trust balance as a custom currency field (Retainer_Balance__c) and individual transactions as custom fields (Trust_Transaction_Type__c, Trust_Amount__c) on the Deal. Your team must reconcile the migrated balance against your trust account records after go-live; any historical trust ledger needs manual re-entry or a Freshsales Custom Module on Enterprise.

  • Secure-messaging encryption flag requires custom field in Freshsales

    Enkrypt encrypts client-portal messages at rest and in transit. Freshsales Notes store plain-text content only. FlitStack imports message threads as Freshsales Notes with the original message body preserved. The encryption status is stored as a custom checkbox field (Encrypted__c = true) on each Note so your team knows which messages originated from the encrypted Enkrypt channel. Clients will not retain access to the original encrypted portal; that access must be deprecated post-migration.

  • Matter hierarchy requires Freshsales Custom Module or manual consolidation

    Enkrypt supports parent-matter and sub-matter relationships natively. Freshsales Deals are a flat list by default. On Freshsales Enterprise plans, FlitStack can map parent-matter IDs to a Custom Module association field so the hierarchy is preserved. On Growth and Pro plans, sub-matters become sibling Deals linked to the same client; your team decides whether to consolidate them manually or accept a flattened structure in Freshsales. If the hierarchy is critical for billing or compliance reporting, a custom module can also store the parent-matter reference and link it to the child Deal via a lookup field, enabling downstream reporting on case families.

  • Enkrypt workflows and client-portal automations do not migrate

    Enkrypt automates client notifications, appointment reminders, and case-status alerts as part of its legal workflow engine. Freshsales Workflow Builder handles CRM automation (task assignment, stage triggers, email alerts) but is architecturally different. FlitStack exports your Enkrypt workflow definitions as a reference document for your Freshsales admin to rebuild in Workflow Builder. There is no automated conversion of Enkrypt automations to Freshsales workflows. Before go‑live, schedule a workshop with your Freshsales admin to map each Enkrypt trigger to the equivalent Workflow Builder action, ensuring that client alerts, deadline reminders, and stage‑change notifications continue without interruption.

  • Enkrypt API export scope may require manual data pull for custom properties

    Enkrypt's API documentation does not publicly enumerate export scope for custom properties and billing fields. FlitStack tests the export API against your Enkrypt instance before migration to confirm which custom fields are enumerable and exportable. If the API does not surface a custom property, we flag it and either pull the data via an alternative method (CSV export if available) or note that the field requires manual re-entry in Freshsales.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Enkrypt Legal-PRO to Freshsales data migration

  1. Audit Enkrypt API export scope and field enumeration

    Before mapping begins, FlitStack connects to your Enkrypt instance via API to enumerate all standard and custom objects, fields, and relationships. We test export of billing fields, trust-accounting data, and custom properties to confirm which data is API-accessible. Any fields that cannot be exported via API are flagged for alternative export (CSV) or manual re-entry. This step produces a confirmed field inventory before transformation logic is written.

  2. Design Freshsales custom fields and Custom Module schema

    Based on the Enkrypt field inventory, FlitStack creates the required custom fields in Freshsales — including Retainer_Balance__c, Trust_Transaction_Type__c, Encrypted__c, Practice_Area__c, and other legal-specific fields on Contact and Deal objects. On Enterprise plans, we also design the Custom Module schema for matter hierarchies and trust-accounting records. Your Freshsales admin approves the schema before migration data is loaded. All fields are created with appropriate data types and validation rules to prevent import errors.

  3. Resolve attorneys and staff by email match to Freshsales users

    Enkrypt users (attorneys, paralegals, administrative staff) are matched to Freshsales users by email address. Unmatched users are listed in a resolution report — your team either invites them to Freshsales as users before migration or assigns their records to a fallback owner. No record migrates without a confirmed Freshsales owner; this prevents orphaned Deals in the destination. If an Enkrypt user lacks an email, we fall back to matching on name and role to assign the correct Freshsales profile.

  4. Run a sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning clients, matters, appointments, and documents — migrates to Freshsales first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff showing the source value, the mapped destination value, and any transformations applied. You review the diff to confirm matter-to-deal mapping, custom field creation, and trust-balance preservation before the full run proceeds. Sample migration runs at reduced API throughput to avoid rate limits.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full migration loads Enkrypt clients, matters, appointments, documents, and secure messages into Freshsales. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after the initial run) captures any records created or modified in Enkrypt during the cutover period. All operations are logged in the FlitStack audit log. If reconciliation reveals mismatches, one-click rollback reverts the Freshsales state to pre-migration. Post-migration, your team re-enables Freshsales outgoing emails and configures Workflow Builder automations from the exported Enkrypt workflow reference.

Most Enkrypt-to-Freshsales migrations complete in 48–72 hours of clock time for setups with fewer than 10,000 client and matter records. Larger firms with 100,000+ records, extensive custom-property schemas, or trust-accounting data requiring manual reconciliation extend to 5–10 days. The longest single step is designing and approving the Freshsales custom field schema before data loads begin. During the delta-pickup phase, any new records created in Enkrypt after the initial export are captured and synced, ensuring a near-zero data gap at cutover.
