Overview
Moving from Evam to Freshsales is a structural migration from a journey-orchestration model to a standard CRM object model. Evam sequences behavioral and transactional Events into Journeys for cross-channel personalization; Freshsales manages Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities in a conventional sales-cycle structure. We extract Customer records and map them to Contacts or Leads depending on lifecycle stage, preserve event timestamps as Activity records in Freshsales, and document the journey topology and channel configurations for the customer's admin to rebuild in Freshsales Workflows. Evam's AI predictive scores have no export mechanism and cannot migrate; Freshsales' Freddy AI provides lead scoring post-migration. We do not migrate Journeys, Campaigns, or channel credentials as these are platform-native constructs that do not translate directly between architectures.
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 Evam 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.
Evam
Customer
Freshsales
Contact or Lead (split required)
1:manyEvam Customers with behavioral profiles and engagement history map to Freshsales Contacts. Prospects without a sales-cycle relationship in Evam (e.g., entry-segment members with no deal association) map to Freshsales Leads. We use Evam segment membership and journey-entry status to determine the split at migration time, preserving the original customer identifier in a custom field evam_customer_id__c for cross-reference. Freshsales' own Lead conversion workflow (email as unique identifier, duplicate merging) handles the post-migration transition to Contact and Account per Freshsales documentation.
Evam
Event
Freshsales
Task or Event (Activity)
1:1Evam behavioral and transactional events map to Freshsales Activity records. Event types (click, pageview, purchase, custom) map to Task records with a custom field event_type__c. Event timestamps preserve as ActivityDate and CreatedAt on the Task. Event payloads with structured properties migrate to custom fields on the Contact record or to a linked Custom Object for rich event records. We scope event export to a defined window (typically 90-180 days) to keep migration scope manageable and avoid API quota exhaustion on high-volume Evam accounts.
Evam
Segment
Freshsales
Contact Filter or Salesflow Segment
lossyEvam Segment definitions (rule sets and filter configurations) document as written criteria during discovery. We provide a segment-translation document that maps Evam segment rules to Freshsales Contact Filter conditions or to Salesflows groups. Segments cannot migrate as executable objects because Freshsales uses a different rule-evaluation engine; the customer's admin rebuilds them as Saved Views or Workflow filters post-migration.
Evam
Journey
Freshsales
Workflow (rebuild documentation)
lossyEvam Journey definitions (step sequences, branch conditions, wait timers, and entry/exit rules) are not exposed via a documented export endpoint. We capture journey topology during discovery through API snapshots and manual documentation, producing a written journey map that lists each journey's trigger, steps, conditions, channel actions, and exit criteria. Freshsales Workflows rebuild this logic using Freshsales' visual workflow builder from Growth upward. We do not execute the rebuild; we deliver the documentation for the customer's admin to act on.
Evam
Campaign
Freshsales
Task or Note (metadata only)
1:1Evam Campaign metadata (name, status, start/end dates, channel assignments) migrates as a Note attached to the relevant Contacts, preserving the campaign reference without replicating campaign execution logic. Campaign performance metrics (open rates, click rates, conversion rates) are derived post-migration and do not carry over since Freshsales does not have a native campaign-analytics model equivalent to Evam's multi-touch attribution.
Evam
Channel
Freshsales
Documentation only
lossySMS sender IDs, push notification credentials, and in-app notification configurations are bound to Evam's registered application environment and cannot be moved. We document the full channel configuration during discovery (provider, credentials, sender IDs, template IDs) and provide a re-setup checklist so the customer's operations team can re-register credentials in Freshsales or their channel provider before cutover. Freshsales offers built-in SMS from Growth tier, but third-party SMS (Twilio, MessageBird) requires Freshsales Workflow integration setup.
Evam
AI Models / Predictive Scores
Freshsales
NOT MIGRATABLE
1:1Evam AI-based propensity scores are computed per-customer within Evam's runtime environment and are not accessible via the documented API. We cannot migrate these scores. Freshsales' Freddy AI provides lead scoring and deal prediction post-migration using Freshsales' own data model, but it operates independently of Evam's scoring logic. We flag this gap during scoping so the customer can plan to re-run scoring on Freshsales data from day one or accept a scoring-free reset.
Evam
Custom Fields (Customer, Event, Journey)
Freshsales
Custom Fields on Contact, Task, Account, Deal
1:1Evam extended properties on Customer, Event, and Journey objects map field-by-field to Freshsales custom fields. We match data types (string to text, number to number, date to date) and create the corresponding Freshsales custom field via the Admin settings before import. Lookup relationships between custom fields in Evam map to Freshsales lookup fields or custom module relationships depending on the Pro/Enterprise tier of the destination account.

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.
Evam gotchas
Journey logic lacks structured export
AI predictive scores are non-exportable
Event data volume requires selective snapshot strategy
Channel credentials are environment-locked
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
Discovery and scoping
We audit the Evam account across customer record volume, event volume (with a scoped export window recommendation), segment count, active journey count, channel configuration inventory, and custom field set. We pair this with a Freshsales edition check (Free, Growth, Pro, Enterprise) based on the customer's user count and custom field requirements. The discovery output is a written migration scope document that defines the export window, identifies non-migratable constructs (journeys, AI scores, channel credentials), and lists every custom field requiring a Freshsales type-mapped equivalent.
Schema design and custom field provisioning
We design the Freshsales destination schema before any data moves. This includes creating custom fields on Contact, Account, Deal, and Task objects to receive Evam custom properties, provisioning any required custom modules if the customer is on Pro or Enterprise, and configuring Lead conversion settings to match the customer's lifecycle model. We also create the evam_customer_id__c cross-reference field on Contact and Lead for post-migration audit and cross-system reconciliation.
Journey and segment documentation
We capture journey topology from Evam through API snapshots and manual review, producing a written journey map for each active journey. This document lists the journey trigger, step-by-step sequence, branch conditions, wait timers, channel actions, and exit criteria. Segments document as rule-set translations pointing to Freshsales Contact Filter equivalents. This documentation package is delivered before cutover so the customer's admin can begin Freshsales Workflow rebuilding in parallel.
Sandbox or test migration
We run a full migration into a Freshsales test account (or a named sandbox environment if the customer has one) using production-like data volume. The customer's team reconciles record counts, spot-checks 20-30 random Contacts and Activities against the Evam source, and validates custom field mapping. Any field-type mismatches, missing lookup resolutions, or duplicate-handling issues surface here and are corrected before production migration. This step is essential for long-tail migrations where Evam's custom schema may have edge cases not visible in discovery.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Contacts and Leads (with lifecycle split applied), Accounts (if separate company records exist in Evam), Deals (with Contact and Account lookups resolved), Activity history (Tasks and Events via Freshsales API with rate-limit handling and chunking), and custom fields (last, after parent records are validated). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Channel configurations are documented and delivered as a re-setup checklist; they do not execute in Freshsales.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze Evam writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during migration, then mark Freshsales as the system of record. We deliver the journey documentation package, segment translation guide, and channel re-setup checklist to the customer's admin team. We support a three-day hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuild, sequence setup, and channel re-registration remain with the customer's admin team or a Freshworks implementation partner as separate workstreams.
