Overview
Moving from Evam to Salesforce is a migration from an event-driven journey orchestration platform to a relational CRM with a mature sales, service, and marketing object model. Evam stores behavioral and transactional events at scale, sequences them into Journeys and Campaigns, and computes AI-driven predictive scores within its own runtime. Salesforce has no native journey orchestration engine; instead it stores Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, Tasks, Events, and Campaigns as structured relational objects. We migrate Customers to Contacts, Events to Salesforce Tasks and Events with timestamps preserved, Campaigns to Salesforce Campaigns, and Segments to static or dynamic Salesforce Campaigns with documented filter logic. We do not migrate AI predictive scores, journey definitions, or channel credentials because these are computed or environment-locked in Evam with no documented export mechanism. We deliver a complete channel re-setup checklist and a written inventory of every active Journey and Campaign requiring rebuild in Salesforce Flow or Campaign member logic.
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 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.
Evam
Customer
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact (primary) + Account
1:manyEvam Customers map to Salesforce Contact as the primary record, with an Account created from the Customer's organization or company field where present. We apply a 1:N split logic: if the Evam Customer record contains an associated company domain or explicit organization field, we create a parent Account and attach the Contact via AccountId. Customers without an organization association map directly to a Contact with no AccountId (a personal contact). We preserve all standard profile fields (name, email, phone, demographic attributes) and flag every custom Customer property for field-level mapping against Salesforce's typed field model.
Evam
Event
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task + Event
1:1Evam Events (behavioral and transactional touchpoints) map to Salesforce Task and Event based on event type classification. Behavioral events with a duration (e.g., session duration, interaction time) map to Event records with StartDateTime and EndDateTime preserved. Discrete transactional events (clicks, form submissions, status changes) map to Task records with ActivityDate set to the original Evam event timestamp. We scope the event export to a defined time window (typically 90-180 days) to stay within API quotas and produce a validatable dataset. Older event data is aggregated or sampled and documented for reference rather than fully migrated.
Evam
Journey
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign (documentation)
lossyEvam Journeys are the core orchestration unit: sequences of steps, conditions, wait timers, and channel actions tied to customer segments. Journey definitions are not exposed via a documented export endpoint. We perform API snapshots and manual documentation during discovery to capture journey topology (step sequence, branch conditions, entry/exit rules, channel assignments). The migration output includes a written journey inventory with a recommended Salesforce Flow or Campaign member logic rebuild for each active journey. We do not migrate journey logic as executable code.
Evam
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign
1:1Evam Campaigns attached to journey steps or run independently map to Salesforce Campaign. Campaign metadata (name, status, start date, end date, budgeted cost, channel assignments) migrates directly. Campaign performance metrics (open rates, click rates, conversion rates) are derived metrics computed in Evam's reporting layer and do not have a source-data equivalent to migrate; we document these as reporting baselines for the customer to rebuild in Salesforce Reports post-migration.
Evam
Segment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign (static or dynamic)
lossyEvam Segments are customer groupings used to filter journey entry and campaign targeting. Segment definitions export as rule sets or filter configurations. We preserve the membership criteria in a written segment inventory so that segments can be rebuilt as Salesforce static Campaigns (member list-based) or dynamic Campaigns (filter-based using Salesforce Reports or Flow criteria). The original Evam segment membership snapshot migrates as a static Campaign Member list for immediate use.
Evam
Channel
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign (channel documentation)
1:1Evam Channels (SMS, push notifications, in-app, pop-up) are registered application environments with sender IDs, push credentials, and notification configurations bound to Evam's environment. These credentials cannot be moved. We document the full channel configuration during discovery (sender ID format, API keys, registered app credentials, routing rules) and provide a re-setup checklist so the customer's operations team can re-register channel credentials in Salesforce (via MobilePush, Salesforce SMS partners, or Experience Cloud) before cutover.
Evam
AI Models / Predictive Scores
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Einstein 1 AI (separate provisioning)
1:1Evam's 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 directly. Customers relying on AI-driven routing in journeys should plan to re-run scoring in Salesforce Einstein 1 AI post-migration, which requires a separate Einstein 1 Sales Cloud or Data Cloud activation. The migration delivers a customer-level score history export in CSV format for reference and manual upload if the destination supports custom scoring fields.
Evam
Custom Field (Customer)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field (Contact or Account)
1:1Extended properties on Evam Customers defined beyond the standard schema migrate to Salesforce custom fields on Contact (for customer-person attributes) or Account (for customer-organization attributes). We perform field-by-field mapping during scoping, noting Salesforce data type compatibility (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox, formula). Custom fields on Evam Customers without a clear Salesforce analog are flagged for explicit customer decision during mapping review.
Evam
Custom Field (Event)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field (Task or Event)
1:1Extended properties on Evam Events migrate to Salesforce custom fields on the corresponding Task or Event record based on event type classification. We map the Evam event property schema to Salesforce field types, preserving payload data where Salesforce's custom field model supports the format. Large or unstructured event payloads (JSON blobs, nested objects) are documented rather than fully migrated and are flagged for re-ingestion via Salesforce Event Monitoring or a data warehouse integration post-migration.
Evam
Engagement (call, email, meeting)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task + Event + EmailMessage
1:1Evam engagement records (calls, emails, meetings logged against Customers or within Journeys) map to Salesforce Task with TaskSubtype, Event with start/end times, or EmailMessage records linked to Tasks. Engagement timestamps migrate as ActivityDate on Task and StartDateTime/EndDateTime on Event. The WhoId on migrated engagement records points to the converted Contact; the WhatId points to the related Account, Opportunity, or Campaign. We use the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with chunking and parent-record resolution to handle engagement volumes that exceed CSV loader capacity.
Evam
Note
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note
1:1Notes attached to Evam Customers or recorded within Journeys map to Salesforce Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent Contact, Account, or Campaign. Note body migrates as rich text with image attachments preserved as separate ContentDocument records. We resolve the parent record reference at migration time using the Contact or Account ID from the Customer mapping.
Evam
Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Evam Owners (users who created or are assigned to Customers, Events, Campaigns, and Journeys) map to Salesforce User records by email match. We extract every distinct Owner referenced across migrating objects and match against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any Evam Owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Active/inactive status on the Salesforce User must be confirmed by the customer's admin to ensure the OwnerId reference is valid.

Migration approach
Discovery and scope definition
We audit the source Evam environment across Customers, Events (volume and time window), active Journeys, Campaigns, Segments, Channels, and custom fields on Customer and Event objects. We capture the event type taxonomy (behavioral vs transactional), the journey count and complexity rating (step count, branch depth, AI routing usage), and the channel configuration inventory. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with record counts per object, event window recommendation, and a preliminary Salesforce schema design noting custom fields to pre-create.
Schema design and channel re-setup planning
We design the destination schema in Salesforce. This includes pre-creating custom fields on Contact and Account (mapped from Evam Customer custom properties), custom fields on Task and Event (mapped from Evam Event custom properties), Salesforce Campaigns for each migrating Evam Campaign and documented Journey, and the channel re-setup checklist with sender IDs, API keys, and routing rules. Schema is deployed via Salesforce metadata API or change set into a Sandbox org first for validation before any data loads begin.
Sandbox migration and journey documentation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Activities in, Campaigns in) against the Evam source and spot-checks 25-50 random records for field-level accuracy. During this phase we also complete the journey documentation: step sequences, branch conditions, entry/exit rules, and channel assignments for every active Evam Journey. Any mapping corrections or schema adjustments happen here, not in production.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Evam Owner referenced on Customer, Event, Campaign, and Engagement records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Owners without a matching User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original Evam user is still active) before production migration begins. OwnerId references on Contact, Task, Event, and Campaign require a valid Salesforce User to resolve.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Account (from Evam organization fields), Contact (with AccountId resolved for org-linked Customers), Campaign (for each migrating Evam Campaign), Task and Event (with scoped event window and parent-record resolution via Bulk API 2.0), EmailMessage (linked to Task records for email engagements), Note (linked via ContentDocumentLink to Contact, Account, or Campaign). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Channel configurations are not migrated; the re-setup checklist is delivered for the operations team to complete before cutover.
Cutover, delta migration, and journey rebuild handoff
We freeze Evam 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 journey documentation inventory (step-by-step logic for every active Evam Journey) and the channel re-setup checklist. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Evam Journeys as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that work is delivered as documented specifications for the customer's admin or a Salesforce partner to rebuild post-migration.
