Overview
Fello stores contacts, companies, leads, and deals in a flat object model optimized for real estate agent productivity — AI-powered lead scoring, home-value enrichment, and bi-weekly automated outreach are core to its value proposition. Salesforce Sales Cloud uses a relational model where Contacts require AccountId lookups, Leads and Contacts are separate objects, and Opportunities use RecordTypeId to scope stage pick-lists and page layouts per deal type. The migration carries all Fello-native records — contacts, companies, leads, deals, activities — into Salesforce, then maps Fello's AI lead scores to a custom Number field (Lead_Score__c) and enrichment data to custom fields on Contact and Account. Automations, outreach sequences, and workflow rules do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Salesforce Flow. Owner resolution happens by email match against Salesforce users before records land. A 24-48 hour delta-pickup window captures any Fello changes during cutover so Salesforce reflects final state at go-live. The migrated data preserves all timestamps and source IDs, enabling audit trails and downstream integrations.
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 Fello 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.
Fello
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Fello contacts map directly to Salesforce Contacts. Most fields (name, email, phone, address) carry over with matching names. Fello contacts without a primary company land with no AccountId and require secondary assignment via Account Contact Relations post-migration. This ensures each contact is linked to its primary organization in Salesforce.
Fello
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:manyFello leads that are pre-contact (no email logged or status='new_lead') route to Salesforce Lead. Fello contacts with an email and a company map to Salesforce Contact. The split is determined by Fello's record type field and whether a primary email exists.
Fello
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Fello company records map to Salesforce Account objects. Company name maps to Account.Name. Fello's parent-company hierarchy maps to Account.ParentId. Multi-company associations (N:N in Fello) require Account Contact Relations in Salesforce for secondary affiliations. The mapping preserves company type and industry values for accurate segmentation.
Fello
Lead
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:1Fello leads with status='qualified' or 'unqualified' map to Salesforce Lead with LeadSource, Status, and Rating preserved. Fello lead scores migrate to Lead_Score__c custom field. Unconverted Fello leads keep their score for rep prioritization in Salesforce. This preserves historical lead quality data for future analysis.
Fello
Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Fello deal records map to Salesforce Opportunity objects. Deal name becomes Opportunity.Name, amount becomes Amount, close date becomes CloseDate. Pipeline stage maps to Opportunity.StageName via value-mapping per Fello pipeline to Salesforce Sales Process. All custom deal fields are likewise mapped to corresponding Opportunity __c fields.
Fello
Pipeline
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Sales Process + Record Type
1:1Fello pipelines (e.g., 'Listing Pipeline', 'Buyer Pipeline') each become a Salesforce Sales Process keyed by RecordTypeId. Each Fello pipeline requires a corresponding Salesforce Record Type so Opportunity Stage pick-list values are scoped correctly per deal category. This ensures clean stage history and accurate reporting.
Fello
Pipeline Stage
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity Stage
1:1Stage names map value-by-value from Fello to Salesforce per pipeline. Fello stage 'Under Contract' maps to Salesforce stage 'Closed Won'; Fello stage 'Expired Listing' maps to 'Closed Lost'. Stage-entered timestamps preserved as custom datetime fields on Opportunity for historical reporting.
Fello
AI Lead Score
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead_Score__c (Custom Field)
1:1Fello's proprietary 0-100 AI lead score has no Salesforce native equivalent. We create Lead_Score__c as a custom Number field on both Lead and Contact. The score transfers as-is for immediate rep prioritization; Salesforce Einstein lead scoring can layer on top post-migration.
Fello
Home Value Estimate
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Home_Value_Estimate__c (Custom Field)
1:1Fello's Zillow-style home value enrichment data migrates to Home_Value_Estimate__c on Account (for company-level property) or Contact (for individual homeowner). Decimal field type preserves dollar amounts. Source system ID stored for audit traceability. The field length accommodates up to 15 digits including two decimals for precise valuation.
Fello
Listing Signal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Listing_Signal__c (Custom Field)
1:1Fello's proprietary listing-propensity signal (e.g., 'High', 'Medium', 'Low') migrates as a custom pick-list field (Listing_Signal__c) on Contact and Account. Value labels preserved exactly as Fello defined them to maintain segmentation logic during Salesforce reporting. The pick-list values can be updated in Salesforce after migration if needed.
Fello
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Note)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task / Event / Note
1:1Fello logged calls map to Salesforce Task with Type='Call', emails map to Task with Type='Email', and meetings map to Salesforce Event with original start/end times. Notes map to Salesforce Notes (Lightning-ready). All parent-record links (ContactId, AccountId) preserved via foreign-key resolution.
Fello
Attachment / File
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Files
1:1Fello file attachments re-upload to Salesforce Files (ContentDocument/ContentVersion). File size limits apply (Salesforce default 25MB per file). Inline images embedded in Fello notes are extracted, downloaded, and rehosted as Salesforce Files linked to the original record. All file versions retain their original filenames and check-in history.
Fello
Custom Field (Fello-specific)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field __c
1:1Any Fello custom field beyond standard contact/company/deal fields is evaluated individually. Real-estate-specific fields (e.g., 'TCPA Consent Date', 'Last Home Visit') are created as Salesforce custom fields with the __c suffix and appropriate data type matching the source field format. This approach preserves all custom data for reporting continuity.
Fello
Smart Workflow
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Flow
1:1Fello Smart Workflows (automated outreach sequences, bi-weekly Home Value Report triggers) do not migrate. FlitStack exports Fello workflow definitions as a structured JSON reference document for your Salesforce admin to rebuild in Flow Builder. The exported workflow schema includes trigger conditions, action sequence, and timing logic.
Fello
Outreach Sequence / Email Template
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Flow / Email Template
1:1Fello's bi-weekly outreach email sequences and HTML email templates are not transferable to Salesforce. We export the template body and sequence configuration as a reference CSV so your admin can recreate them in Salesforce Email Template and Journey Builder using the same contact segments.

Migration approach
Stand up Salesforce schema and Record Types
FlitStack analyzes your Fello pipelines, custom fields, and lead-score configuration. We deliver a Salesforce schema setup plan: Record Types per Fello pipeline, Sales Processes, custom fields (Lead_Score__c, Listing_Signal__c, Home_Value_Estimate__c, TCPA_Consent_Date__c), and page layout assignments. Your admin creates these in Salesforce Sandbox before validation runs so the destination schema is ready when data lands. The plan also includes field-level validation rules and default values for pick-list fields to ensure data integrity upon import.
Resolve owners and users by email match
Fello owner records are matched against Salesforce users by email address. Any Fello owner whose email does not correspond to a Salesforce user is flagged in a pre-migration reconciliation report. Your team either invites the user to Salesforce first or assigns a fallback owner. No record commits without a valid Salesforce OwnerId — orphan records are held for manual assignment before the full run.
Sequence the migration: Accounts → Contacts/Leads → Opportunities
Salesforce requires Accounts before Contacts (via AccountId) and Contacts before Opportunities (via Opportunity Contact Roles). We sequence the migration: Companies → Accounts, then Contacts/Leads split by Fello record type, then Deals → Opportunities with pipeline-to-RecordType mapping and stage value-mapping applied per deal. Tasks, Events, and Notes load last with parent-record foreign keys resolved from already-migrated IDs. We also map any custom activity fields to Salesforce custom fields.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100-500 records spanning contacts, companies, leads, deals, and activities. We generate a field-level diff comparing Fello source values against Salesforce destination values so you can verify lead-score mapping, pipeline-to-RecordType routing, enrichment field population, and owner resolution before the full run commits. Sample results are available within 4-8 hours of schema setup completion. You can approve or request corrections before the final load.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover
Full migration runs against Salesforce using Bulk API for high-volume record sets. A delta-pickup window (24-48 hours) captures any Fello records modified or created during the cutover period so Salesforce reflects Fello's final state at go-live. Audit log records every insert, update, and relationship link. One-click rollback is available if field-level reconciliation detects unexpected discrepancies — your team reviews the diff report before accepting the full run.
Deliver workflow export reference and post-migration handoff
FlitStack exports Fello Smart Workflow definitions and email template bodies as a structured JSON and HTML reference package. Your Salesforce admin uses this to rebuild outreach sequences in Flow Builder and Journey Builder. We also deliver a custom field inventory CSV listing every __c field created, its source Fello field, data type, and any value-mapping tables applied so your admin can update pick-list options post-migration without FlitStack re-running the migration.
