Overview
Field2Base is a field-service automation platform built around form templates, form submissions, and workflow routing for mobile workforces. Its data model centers on form submissions containing structured region data (text, numeric, photo, signature, GPS), associated company records, and user assignments. Freshsales is a sales CRM with standard objects — Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Tasks, Appointments, and Calls — plus custom fields and Freshsales CRM Workflows for automation. The migration from Field2Base to Freshsales is structurally non-trivial because Field2Base does not natively model a sales pipeline. Every Field2Base form submission must be evaluated for its business meaning and mapped into Freshsales Leads or Contacts, with company data flowing into Freshsales Accounts. Financial amounts captured in Field2Base form fields become Freshsales Deal amounts. Submissions with status or approval data route into Freshsales Tasks. User accounts in Field2Base resolve by email into Freshsales Users. Attachments (photos, PDFs) re-upload to Freshsales Files. We do not migrate Field2Base Workflows or form-level routing logic — those are destination-side automation constructs that have no equivalent in Freshsales. We export the workflow definitions as a PDF blueprint so your Freshsales admin can rebuild them in Freshsales CRM Workflows after go-live. The migration runs against both platforms' REST APIs with batched processing to respect Freshsales rate limits. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any Field2Base submissions created 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 Field2Base 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.
Field2Base
Form Submission
Freshsales
Lead
1:1Each Field2Base form submission containing a person name and at least one contact method (email address or phone number) is mapped to a Freshsales Lead. The submission's region values populate corresponding standard Lead fields or custom fields. The original submission timestamp is recorded as the Freshsales Lead creation date, and duplicate detection uses the submission ID.
Field2Base
Form Submission (person-less record)
Freshsales
Task
1:1Field2Base submissions that contain no person-level data — work orders, inspection reports, maintenance logs — map to Freshsales Tasks or Appointments depending on whether the submission has a scheduled date region. The Task subject carries the form template name for identification.
Field2Base
Company Record
Freshsales
Account
1:1Field2Base Company records map directly to Freshsales Accounts. Company name maps to Account Name. Address regions map to Freshsales billing address fields. Domain/website maps to the Account Website field. Multiple Field2Base contacts associated with one company link to a single Account via Freshsales Contact-to-Account relationship.
Field2Base
Form Submission with amount field
Freshsales
Deal
1:1When a Field2Base form captures a financial amount (via a numeric region), that data maps to a Freshsales Deal. The Deal Name is constructed from the form template name and submission ID. Amount maps to the Deal Amount field. Pipeline and stage require a Freshsales admin to pre-create a pipeline and map Field2Base status regions to Freshsales stage values.
Field2Base
User Account
Freshsales
User
1:1Field2Base Users are matched to Freshsales Users by email address. Matching is required before form submissions can be assigned to Freshsales owners. Unmatched users are flagged in the migration plan — either invited to Freshsales or assigned to a default owner before migration runs.
Field2Base
Form Template
Freshsales
Custom Fields (Admin Setup)
1:1Field2Base form templates with region fields that have no Freshsales standard equivalent require custom field creation in Freshsales Admin Settings. Each region (text, numeric, dropdown, checkbox, camera, signature) becomes either a Freshsales standard field if a match exists, or a custom field created before migration. We deliver a field creation checklist as part of the migration plan.
Field2Base
Form Submission Status Region
Freshsales
Deal Stage / Lead Status
1:1Many Field2Base forms contain a status region (such as Pending, Approved, Rejected, or Closed). These region values are mapped to Freshsales Deal Stage names or Lead Status pick-list values on a one‑to‑one basis. Because Field2Base status vocabularies are customer‑defined and vary per form template, each form’s status set requires a separate value‑mapping configuration in Freshsales Admin Settings before migration.
Field2Base
Photo / Signature / Attachment
Freshsales
File
1:1Field2Base photo regions, signature captures, and PDF attachments download from Field2Base cloud storage and re-upload to Freshsales Files, linked to the corresponding Lead, Contact, Account, or Deal record. File size limits apply — Freshsales enforces a 25MB per-file cap. Large photo batches are processed in batches to avoid timeout errors.
Field2Base
Field2Base Workflow
Freshsales
Freshsales CRM Workflow (manual rebuild)
1:1Field2Base Workflows define routing, approval chains, and downstream actions triggered by form submission. These do not have a Freshsales equivalent and cannot be migrated programmatically. We export the workflow configuration as a structured PDF blueprint showing trigger conditions, routing rules, and assigned reviewers. Your Freshsales admin uses this to rebuild equivalent automation in Freshsales CRM Workflows.
Field2Base
Form Submission GPS Region
Freshsales
Account Address / Custom Geolocation Fields
1:1Field2Base GPS capture regions store latitude and longitude. If the submission is linked to a Field2Base Company, these coordinates map to the Account address fields in Freshsales. If the GPS data is not tied to a company, it becomes a pair of custom number fields (Latitude__c, Longitude__c) on the corresponding Freshsales record.

Migration approach
Audit Field2Base form templates and submission volumes
FlitStack AI inventories every Field2Base form template, counts submission records per template, and identifies which regions contain person data, company data, financial amounts, and file attachments. This audit produces the object-mapping scope and flags which forms have no Freshsales equivalent (e.g., pure inspection logs that map to Tasks). We also inventory Field2Base Users and Companies to establish the user-matching and account-creation sequence.
Build Freshsales schema — custom fields, pipelines, and pick-lists
Based on the audit, FlitStack delivers a schema setup plan: a list of Freshsales custom fields to create (with type and pick-list options), a pipeline to create with stage names mapped from Field2Base status regions, and a lead status pick-list mapping. Your Freshsales admin creates these before migration so the target schema is ready when data starts flowing. We provide step-by-step field creation instructions in Freshsales Admin Settings for each custom field.
Match Field2Base Users to Freshsales Users by email
Field2Base Users are resolved to Freshsales Users via email address matching. We run an email lookup against your Freshsales account for every Field2Base user with submissions. Users without a Freshsales match are listed in the migration plan with two options: invite them to Freshsales before migration, or assign their records to a fallback owner. No submission is migrated without a resolved owner to prevent orphan records.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 form submissions migrates first, spanning multiple form templates. We generate a field-level diff comparing the Field2Base source data against the Freshsales records — verifying that numeric regions landed in Deal.amount, status regions mapped to the correct stage values, and attachments linked to the right records. You review the sample before the full run commits. Any mapping errors are corrected in the migration plan before the next batch.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full migration runs against Field2Base API and Freshsales CRM API in the sequenced order: Companies → Accounts, then Form Submissions → Leads/Contacts/Tasks, then Deal amounts. Freshsales rate limits are respected via batch sizing and backoff. During the 24–48 hour delta-pickup window, any new Field2Base form submissions created while the migration runs are captured and appended to Freshsales. An audit log records every record created, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation shows missing data or incorrect mapping.
