Overview
Entera stores real estate investment data — investors, properties, leases, and financial projections — in a domain-specific schema built for single-family rental operators. Freshsales organizes data around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals using a standard CRM object model with custom field extensibility. These data models diverge significantly: Entera tracks property-level metrics (cap rate, IRR, rent roll) that have no native Freshsales equivalent, and its investor contacts live in a different relationship structure than Freshsales' Account-Contact hierarchy. We map Entera investor contacts to Freshsales Contacts linked to Accounts, property deals to Freshsales Deals with custom fields capturing Entera's investment metrics, and lease records to custom objects or Deal-level custom fields depending on complexity. Workflows, automated valuations, and pipeline scoring rules built in Entera do not migrate — they must be rebuilt using Freshsales' workflow builder and Freddy AI. Our migration engine reads Entera's export API and writes directly to Freshsales via the CRM API, maintaining referential integrity across all relationships.
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 Entera 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.
Entera
Investor
Freshsales
Contact + Account
1:1Entera investors map to Freshsales Contacts linked to a parent Account representing the investor entity. If the investor is an individual, they land as a Contact with the Account representing their investment entity. Company-type investors map 1:1 to Freshsales Accounts.
Entera
Property
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Each Entera property becomes a Freshsales Deal. The property address maps to the Deal name, and all investment metrics (purchase price, ARV, rehab budget) migrate to custom number and currency fields on the Deal. Property status maps to the appropriate Freshsales pipeline stage.
Entera
Lease
Freshsales
Custom Object or Deal custom fields
1:1Lease records with single tenants migrate as a custom Lease object linked to the Property Deal via a lookup relationship. Multi-unit lease aggregates (monthly rent roll) may be stored as custom fields on the parent Deal. Freshsales custom object creation is included in the migration plan.
Entera
Financial Projection
Freshsales
Custom Fields on Deal
1:1Cap rate, cash-on-cash return, IRR, and projected sale price migrate as currency and number custom fields on the Property Deal. Projection dates migrate as custom date fields. Original projection version timestamps are preserved in custom datetime fields for historical audit trails.
Entera
Vendor / Contractor
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Entera vendors and contractors migrate as Freshsales Contacts with a custom Vendor_Type__c pick-list field identifying their trade specialty (plumbing, electrical, roofing, HVAC, landscaping). They link to no primary Account unless explicitly specified in Entera data, preserving the flat structure for individual service providers.
Entera
Tenant
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Tenants migrate as Freshsales Contacts linked to the Account representing their associated property. Lease terms including rent amount, security deposit, lease start and end dates migrate as custom fields on the Contact or as a related Lease custom object for full contractual visibility.
Entera
Maintenance Request
Freshsales
Task + Custom Object
1:1Active maintenance requests migrate as Freshsales Tasks with Subject describing the issue, priority mapped from Entera severity levels, and due dates preserved. Recurring maintenance patterns may be captured as custom fields or notes for workflow recreation guidance in Freshsales.
Entera
Document / File Attachment
Freshsales
Freshsales Files
1:1Entera file attachments including purchase agreements, inspection reports, lease PDFs, and title documents re-upload to Freshsales Files linked to the corresponding Property Deal. Original file names and upload timestamps are preserved for audit continuity and compliance.
Entera
Investment Stage / Pipeline
Freshsales
Freshsales Pipeline + Stage
1:1Entera's acquisition → renovation → leasing → sale pipeline maps to Freshsales pipeline stages via value mapping. Teams with multiple investment strategies (flip, hold, wholesale) may require separate Freshsales pipelines per strategy to maintain distinct workflow visibility.
Entera
Owner / Team Member
Freshsales
Freshsales User
1:1Entera team members resolve to Freshsales users by email match during the migration pre-flight check. Unmatched owners are flagged in a pre-migration report — your team either invites them to Freshsales or assigns their records to a designated fallback user. All property assignments transfer as Deal ownership.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Entera gotchas
No public API means migration requires support-coordinated exports
Custom fields are invisible in standard exports
Document attachments require separate download coordination
Marketplace data may not export cleanly without provider consent
Freshsales gotchas
Freddy AI is Pro-tier only despite heavy marketing
Post-migration emails and sequences are disabled
Bot session credits are a one-time 500-session allocation
Phone credits charged per minute with no cap
File storage limits scale with plan tier
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Entera data model and produce Freshsales custom field specification
We read Entera's export API to inventory all object types, field names, and record counts. We identify investment metrics (cap rate, LTV, IRR), lease fields, and custom properties that need Freshsales custom field creation. We deliver a Freshsales admin guide specifying field names, types (currency, number, date, pick-list), and which objects they attach to — Accounts, Contacts, Deals, or custom objects. Your admin creates these fields before the migration window.
Resolve Entera team members to Freshsales users by email
Every Entera owner, assignee, and team member must resolve to a Freshsales user account for Deal ownership to map correctly. We match Entera user emails against Freshsales user emails. Records with unmatched owners are flagged in a pre-migration report — your team either creates Freshsales accounts for those users or assigns their records to a designated fallback user before the migration run commits.
Sequence migration: Accounts/Investors → Contacts/Tenants/Vendors → Property Deals → Custom Objects
Freshsales requires Accounts to exist before Contacts can link to them (via AccountId lookup), and Deals require a Contact or Account association. We sequence the migration so parent records load first: investor Accounts, then investor Contacts linked to those Accounts; vendor Accounts, then vendor Contacts; then Property Deals with ownership assigned from resolved users; finally Lease custom objects linked to their parent Property Deals.
Run sample migration with field-level verification
A representative slice of 50–200 records migrates first, spanning investor contacts, property deals, lease records, and vendor contacts. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against Freshsales field values for every mapped field. You verify that investment metrics (cap rate, LTV, ARV) landed in the correct custom fields, lease records link to the correct Property Deals, and owner assignments resolved correctly before the full migration commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback readiness
The full migration runs against Freshsales using the sequenced object order established during the sample phase. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after full migration completes captures any records created or modified in Entera during the cutover window. Every migration operation is logged to a detailed audit trail for compliance tracking. One-click rollback reverts all migrated records if reconciliation against Entera source data reveals discrepancies exceeding your configured tolerance threshold, ensuring data integrity throughout the cutover process.
