Overview
Field Pros stores field service records as standalone entities with location, technician assignment, and job-status properties. Salesforce Sales Cloud models the same domain across standard CRM objects (Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity) plus custom objects for service-specific data that doesn't fit the sales-cycle model. We map Field Pros customers to Account records, contacts to Contact records, and work orders to a custom Work_Order__c object that stores the field-service payload (site address, technician, job type, status, timestamps) while linking back to the Account. Custom fields on Field Pros that track things like service area or certification requirements map to Salesforce custom fields on the Work_Order__c object. We handle Salesforce Bulk API for large record volumes and preserve original create/update dates as custom datetime fields since Salesforce's native CreatedDate reflects the migration import, not the source record creation. Owner resolution uses email matching against Salesforce users so every record lands with a valid OwnerId before the delta-pickup window closes.
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 Field Pros 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.
Field Pros
Customer (Organization)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Field Pros organizations map to Salesforce Account records. Company name becomes Account.Name. If Field Pros stores a parent-child hierarchy of customers, the hierarchy maps to Salesforce ParentId on Account. Multi-site customers require separate Account records per location unless your Salesforce setup uses the Address compound field to store multiple locations on one Account.
Field Pros
Contact (Person)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Field Pros contact records (site managers, dispatchers, customers) map to Salesforce Contact. The Contact requires an AccountId lookup — we resolve this by matching the contact's organization name to the Account record created from the Customer object. Unmatched contacts land as Lead records or get attached to a placeholder 'Unassigned Account' record.
Field Pros
Work Order
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Work_Order__c (Custom Object)
1:1Field Pros work orders do not map to any standard Salesforce object — they become a custom Work_Order__c object. The custom object stores job type, status, site address, scheduled date, completion date, and links to the Account (customer) and Contact (assigned technician or customer contact). We pre-create the Work_Order__c object and all its custom fields before migration begins.
Field Pros
Technician
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User / Contact
1:1Field Pros technicians can map to Salesforce Users if they need CRM login access, or to Contact records if they are external contractors. We match technician email addresses to Salesforce Users by email — matched technicians become User records linked to Work_Order__c via OwnerId. Unmatched technicians land as Contacts with a custom Technician__c flag for reference.
Field Pros
Job Status
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Work_Order__c.Status__c (Custom Picklist)
1:1Field Pros job statuses (Scheduled, In Progress, On Hold, Completed, Cancelled) map to a custom pick-list field Status__c on Work_Order__c. Each value maps one-to-one by name. Probability and forecast-category fields on Opportunity do not apply to Work_Order__c — service status is tracked via the custom pick-list only.
Field Pros
Site / Location
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account.BillingAddress / Work_Order__c.Site_Address__c
many:1Field Pros stores site address on work orders. We map this to a Site_Address__c text field on Work_Order__c for the full original address string. If Field Pros also stores a structured location record, we create a separate Site__c custom object linked to Account for multi-location customers — this preserves the N:1 relationship between sites and customers.
Field Pros
Attachments (Photos, Signatures, Documents)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument / ContentVersion
1:1Field Pros file attachments on work orders download and re-upload to Salesforce Files. Files attach to the Work_Order__c record via ContentDocumentLink. Inline images in notes are rehosted in Salesforce's file storage. The 25MB per-file Salesforce limit applies — files over 25MB are flagged for manual handling before migration.
Field Pros
Custom Properties (Certification, Equipment Type, Service Area)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Work_Order__c.{FieldName}__c
1:1Any Field Pros custom properties that don't fit the standard Work_Order__c fields become Salesforce custom fields with the __c suffix. Type mapping: text strings become Text fields, dates become Date fields, yes/no flags become Checkbox fields, and numeric values become Number fields. Pick-list custom properties in Field Pros map to Salesforce pick-list fields with the same values.
Field Pros
Activity History (site visits, notes)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task / Event
1:1Field Pros site visits and technician notes map to Salesforce Tasks (for discrete actions) or Events (for scheduled visits with start/end times). Original timestamps, owners, and the Work_Order__c parent link are preserved. Task WhatId points to the Work_Order__c record so activity history is visible on the work order detail page.
Field Pros
User / Admin
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Field Pros user accounts map to Salesforce Users by email match. Admin users in Field Pros should be assigned Salesforce Admin profiles or permission sets before migration. We flag any Field Pros users without a matching Salesforce email so your team can decide whether to create Salesforce accounts or reassign their records to existing users.

Migration approach
Stand up Salesforce custom object schema
Before any data moves, your Salesforce admin (or our team) creates the Work_Order__c custom object with all required custom fields — Status__c, Job_Type__c, Scheduled_Date__c, Completed_Date__c, Site_Address__c, Site_Latitude__c, Site_Longitude__c, Work_Order_Notes__c, Original_Create_Date__c, Original_Last_Modified_Date__c, Source_System_ID__c, Customer_Contact__c, and any custom properties from Field Pros. We deliver a field manifest specifying field names, types, pick-list values, and required/optional status so the Salesforce side is schema-ready before we run validation.
Match technicians to Salesforce users by email
We extract all Field Pros user and technician records and match them against Salesforce Users by email address. Matched technicians become the OwnerId on their assigned Work_Order__c records. Unmatched technicians are flagged in a pre-migration report with their Field Pros email and record count — your team decides whether to create Salesforce accounts for them or assign their records to a fallback owner. No Work_Order__c record lands in Salesforce without a resolved OwnerId.
Migrate customers and contacts first, then work orders
Salesforce requires AccountId on Contact records and Work_Order__c lookup links to Account. We sequence the migration: (1) Customers → Accounts, (2) Contacts with AccountId resolution, (3) Work_Order__c records linked to Account and Owner. This order ensures foreign key integrity — Work_Order__c.Customer__c lookup resolves to an existing Account, and Contact.AccountId resolves to the correct Account record. Attachments and activity history migrate after their parent records are committed.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning customers, contacts, work orders, and a few attachments. We generate a field-level diff between the Field Pros source records and the Salesforce Work_Order__c records so you can verify that Status__c values mapped correctly, OwnerId assignment resolved, dates preserved in Original_Create_Date__c, and attachments uploaded to ContentDocument. You approve the diff before the full run commits.
Cut over with delta-pickup for in-flight records
Full migration runs against Salesforce using Bulk API for high-volume batches. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any Field Pros records created or modified during the cutover window. Audit log records every operation — record counts, API calls used, and any failures with error messages. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails: we can re-import the full dataset and overwrite the Salesforce state without data loss.
