Overview
Espresso Agent is built for real estate agents who need daily lists of expired listings, FSBO properties, and neighborhood-search prospects paired with an integrated dialer and basic CRM. Its data model centers on Contact records enriched with property-search criteria (absentee_owner, high_equity, likely_to_list), subscription tiers tied to package pricing, and activity logs from the built-in dialer. Salesforce Sales Cloud uses Accounts and Contacts as the core object graph, with Leads for unqualified prospects, Opportunities keyed by record types and Sales Processes, and Tasks/Events for activity history. There is no native Espresso Agent export endpoint — migration runs via scoped API access to Espresso Agent's REST API, with data transformed into Salesforce's foreign-key model (AccountId on Contact, ContactId on Opportunity via OpportunityContactRoles). Espresso Agent's property-search criteria fields have no Salesforce equivalent and migrate as custom fields. Dialer activity (call duration, disposition, AI transcription summary) becomes Salesforce Tasks with custom fields. Subscription and billing data from Espresso Agent does not map to Salesforce's licensing model and is exported as a reference CSV for your finance team. FlitStack AI sequences the load so foreign keys resolve in order — Accounts first, then Contacts, then Opportunities with Contact Roles — and runs a delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) to capture any records modified during cutover.
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 Espresso Agent 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.
Espresso Agent
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Espresso Agent contacts map directly to Salesforce Contacts. Salesforce requires an AccountId on each Contact — contacts without a primary brokerage or company association in Espresso Agent are attached to a default 'Individual' Account or a designated 'Unassigned' Account during migration. All standard fields (name, email, phone, address) transfer as direct field mappings.
Espresso Agent
Contact (lead-source type: expired_listing)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:manyEspresso Agent contacts sourced from expired listings, FSBO, and FRBO are evaluated for routing based on lifecycle stage. If the contact has not been worked (no call log, no appointment), Salesforce routes them as a Lead. Contacts with at least one logged call or meeting activity route to Salesforce Contact with the lead source preserved in a custom field (Lead_Source_Detail__c).
Espresso Agent
Company / Brokerage
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Espresso Agent stores a contact's affiliated brokerage or company. These map to Salesforce Account records. Account hierarchy (parent/child brokerages) maps to Salesforce's ParentId field. If Espresso Agent stores multiple affiliations per contact (rare), the primary affiliation becomes AccountId and additional affiliations migrate as Account Contact Relations.
Espresso Agent
Property Search Record (neighborhood_search)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object: Property_Search__c
1:1Espresso Agent's neighborhood search criteria (absentee_owner, high_equity, likely_to_list, preforeclosure, empty_nester) have no Salesforce standard object equivalent. FlitStack creates a Property_Search__c custom object with a lookup to Contact. Each search record preserves the criteria values, search date, and property address as custom fields on the object.
Espresso Agent
Lead (listing-specific)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object: Listing_Lead__c
1:1Expired listing leads, FSBO leads, and FRBO leads in Espresso Agent contain property-specific data (listing address, MLS number, listing price, days on market) that does not fit Salesforce's standard Contact or Lead schema. A Listing_Lead__c custom object with a Contact lookup preserves property address, listing status, original list price, and expiration date from Espresso Agent.
Espresso Agent
Dialer Activity / Call Log
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1Espresso Agent's dialer produces call records with disposition (connected, no_answer, voicemail, dnc), call duration, and timestamp. Each call becomes a Salesforce Task with Type='Call', Subject containing the disposition, and ActivityDateTime set to the original call timestamp. Owner (agent) resolves via email match to Salesforce users.
Espresso Agent
AI Call Transcription
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task + Custom Field
1:1Espresso Agent's AI-generated call transcription and summary do not map to any Salesforce standard field. FlitStack stores the full transcript in a custom long-text area field (Call_Transcript__c) on the Task record, and the AI summary in Call_Summary__c. This preserves the full call record for Einstein Conversation Intelligence or manual review in Salesforce.
Espresso Agent
Contact Activity Timeline
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task / Event
1:1Logged activities beyond calls — emails sent through Espresso Agent, appointments, and notes — map to Salesforce Tasks (Type='Email' or 'Task') and Events respectively. Original timestamps and owners are preserved. Notes become Salesforce Notes (the modern object, not legacy Note) with Body and ParentId linking back to the Contact.
Espresso Agent
Subscription / Package Tier
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object: Subscription__c
1:1Espresso Agent subscription tiers (Lead Tier, Neighborhood Search package) and billing cycle data have no Salesforce CRM equivalent. FlitStack exports this as a Subscription__c custom object linked to the Contact, storing package_name, billing_cycle, and start_date. Billing reconciliation and subscription management must be handled in Espresso Agent or your billing system during the transition.
Espresso Agent
Lead Score / Engagement Score
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field on Contact/Lead
1:1Espresso Agent may track a contact's engagement score based on call activity, email opens, and listing interest signals. This score migrates as a custom Number field (Engagement_Score__c) on both Contact and Lead for parity. FlitStack maps the most recent score value — historical score trending is not preserved unless requested as a custom object.
Espresso Agent
Espresso Agent Owner / Agent
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User (via email resolution)
1:1Espresso Agent owner records (agent name, email) resolve to Salesforce Users by email address match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either provisions Salesforce users for them or assigns their records to a designated fallback owner. No record lands in Salesforce without a resolved OwnerId.
Espresso Agent
Attachment / File
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Files / ContentDocument
1:1Files attached to Espresso Agent contact records (e.g., CMA PDFs, listing flyers) are downloaded and re-uploaded to Salesforce Files, linked to the corresponding Contact or Account record via ContentDocumentLink. File size limits apply (Salesforce default 25MB per file); files exceeding the limit are flagged for manual handling.

Migration approach
Audit Espresso Agent data and create Salesforce schema
FlitStack connects via scoped API access to your Espresso Agent account and inventories all contacts, call logs, property-search records, subscription tiers, and attachments. Simultaneously, your Salesforce admin creates the Property_Search__c and Listing_Lead__c custom objects with the custom fields specified in the field-mapping plan, assigns field-level security for any restricted fields, and sets up Salesforce Users for every Espresso Agent owner identified during the data audit. The schema must be in place before data validation runs.
Resolve owners and validate foreign-key dependencies
FlitStack runs an owner-resolution pass against your Salesforce User list, matching Espresso Agent owner emails to Salesforce usernames. Any owner with no match is flagged in a pre-flight report with the option to provision a Salesforce user or assign a fallback owner. The data audit also validates foreign-key readiness: contacts referencing companies that do not yet exist in Salesforce are held in a dependency queue so accounts migrate first, then contacts, preventing orphaned Contact records with null AccountId lookups.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, expired listing leads, dialer activities, and a few property-search records — migrates into a Salesforce sandbox for field-level validation. FlitStack generates a diff report comparing source values to destination field values for every mapped field. You verify that property-search criteria land on Property_Search__c, that call transcripts appear in Call_Transcript__c on the correct Task, and that owner resolution resolved correctly before the full migration is approved.
Execute full migration with dependency-ordered load
Accounts load first (dependency root), then Contacts/Leads with AccountId lookups resolved, then Property_Search__c and Listing_Lead__c records with their Contact lookups, then Tasks/Events with OwnerId resolved. OpportunityContactRole junction records are inserted last to avoid 'entity is new' errors. FlitStack uses Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 for high-volume record inserts and applies Salesforce field-validation rules at load time — any record rejected by a validation rule is logged with the rule name and rejected field value for immediate correction.
Cut over with delta-pickup window
Once the full migration validates in sandbox and is approved for production, FlitStack runs the production cutover. During the cutover window (typically 24–48 hours), your team continues working in Espresso Agent — new contacts added, calls logged, listings updated. A delta-pickup pass at the end of the window captures all records modified or created after the initial migration snapshot. FlitStack generates a post-migration audit log listing every record inserted, updated, or skipped, with one-click rollback available if reconciliation reveals unexpected gaps.
Deliver migration artifacts and rebuild reference package
FlitStack delivers the full migration audit log, a field-mapping specification document, a de-duplication report for any Espresso Agent contacts that matched existing Salesforce records, and the exported dialer workflow JSON for your Salesforce admin or Sales Engagement vendor to reference during workflow rebuild. Salesforce reports against the migrated Property_Search__c and Listing_Lead__c objects are documented with a sample report template so your team can build the prospecting pipeline views they relied on in Espresso Agent.
