Overview
Field2Base is a field service automation platform built around form templates and submitted form records — not a CRM in the traditional sense. Its core data objects are Form Templates, Submitted Forms, Regions (custom fields on forms), Users, and Workflows. Salesforce Sales Cloud organizes data around Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Cases, and Tasks. The migration challenge is translating a form-centric, field-collected dataset into a relationship-oriented CRM schema. FlitStack AI extracts submitted form data via Field2Base's REST API or CSV export, maps form submissions to Salesforce Cases (for service-type records) or Tasks (for activity logs), and converts Field2Base Regions — the custom fields defined per form template — into Salesforce custom fields on the Case object using the __c suffix convention. User records in Field2Base map to Salesforce Contacts; unresolved users become Contacts flagged with the original Field2Base User ID in a Source_System_User_ID__c custom field. What does not migrate: Field2Base Workflows (the review-and-approval automation layer) must be rebuilt in Salesforce Flow or Process Builder — we export the workflow definitions as a reference document. Form templates themselves are not migrated; they are rebuilt as Salesforce page layouts or case record types. Integrations connected via Field2Base's Data Integration Module require new connectors to Salesforce. The delta-pickup window captures any new form submissions during the cutover window so no field data is missed at go-live.
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 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.
Field2Base
Submitted Form
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case
1:1Each Field2Base submitted form becomes a Salesforce Case. The form template name maps to Case Origin or a custom pick-list field (Form_Template_Name__c). Submitted form timestamp becomes Case CreatedDate via Salesforce's audit field — original submission time is preserved in Original_Submission_Date__c for reporting continuity.
Field2Base
Form Region (custom field)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field (__c) on Case
1:1Every Field2Base Region on a form template becomes a Salesforce custom field on the Case object. Region names are converted to valid API field names (spaces removed, underscores added). Field type is mapped: text Regions → Text(255), numeric Regions → Number, date Regions → Date, dropdown Regions → Picklist. Fields must be created in Salesforce before the migration run.
Field2Base
Form Template
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case Origin + Record Type
1:1Form templates map to Salesforce Case Origin values (e.g., 'Inspection Form' → Origin = 'Inspection') or to Record Types when different form types require distinct page layouts and pick-list values. One form template can generate one or more Record Types depending on how many unique Case types Field2Base captures.
Field2Base
Field2Base User (Submitter)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Field2Base users who submitted forms map to Salesforce Contacts. Resolution happens by email match against existing Salesforce Contacts. Unmatched users are flagged before migration — your team either pre-creates their Contact record or assigns submissions to a fallback Contact flagged with the original Field2Base User ID in Source_System_User_ID__c.
Field2Base
Field2Base User (Reviewer)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Field2Base users assigned as form reviewers map to Salesforce Contacts separately from submitters. Review action and timestamp are preserved as a custom activity note on the Case record. A custom field Reviewer_Name__c stores the reviewer's name when they are not yet a Salesforce Contact.
Field2Base
Submitted Form (GPS / Location Data)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Geolocation Field on Case
1:1Field2Base captures GPS coordinates on form submissions. This migrates to two Salesforce custom Number fields (Submission_Latitude__c and Submission_Longitude__c) on the Case object. Salesforce Maps can visualize these as Case markers on a map view if your org has the Salesforce Maps product enabled.
Field2Base
Form Attachment / Photo
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Files (ContentDocument / ContentVersion)
1:1Photos and file attachments submitted with forms are downloaded from Field2Base storage and re-uploaded to Salesforce as Files attached to the corresponding Case record. File size limits apply — Salesforce Files default to 25MB per file; larger files require Salesforce CRM Content or an external storage integration.
Field2Base
Form Submission Status (Draft, Submitted, Approved)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case Status pick-list
1:1Field2Base form submission status values map to Salesforce Case Status pick-list values. 'Draft' forms in Field2Base can be excluded from migration (they are not finalized) or mapped to a Salesforce Case Status value like 'New / Not Started'. 'Submitted' maps to 'New' or 'Working', 'Approved' maps to 'Resolved' or a custom closed status — value-by-value mapping required.
Field2Base
Field2Base Workflow
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Flow
1:1Field2Base Workflows (review-and-approval steps on form submissions) do not migrate. FlitStack AI exports each workflow definition — step sequence, reviewer assignment rules, and approval conditions — as a JSON reference document your Salesforce admin uses to rebuild equivalent Flow logic. This is a manual rebuild; no automated conversion exists.
Field2Base
Field2Base Integration Connections (DIM / EDM)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Connected App + External Data Source
1:1Field2Base integrations built via the Data Integration Module connect form data to back-end SQL, ERP, or other SaaS systems. These connections require new Salesforce integrations — typically a Salesforce Connected App for API access or Salesforce External Data Sources for ODBC-style live queries. We document each active DIM/EDM connection for your integration team to rebuild.
Field2Base
Field2Base Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Field2Base optionally links form submissions to a Company record (enterprise tier). This maps directly to Salesforce Account. Address, phone, and industry fields migrate to the corresponding Account fields. If no Company is linked in Field2Base, submissions land as Cases on a default 'Field Service' Account your admin specifies.

Migration approach
Discover Field2Base form templates and Region inventory
FlitStack AI connects to your Field2Base instance via API using read-only credentials scoped to form data. We export all form templates, their Region definitions (field names, types, and pick-list values), and the submitted form records. We generate a Region collision report identifying duplicate Region names across templates and a draft submission audit showing the count of Draft vs. Submitted records. This discovery output is shared with your team for confirmation before any field creation in Salesforce begins.
Create Salesforce custom fields from Field2Base Regions
Based on the confirmed Region inventory, your Salesforce admin (or FlitStack on your behalf) creates the custom fields on the Case object in a sandbox environment. API field names are generated, collisions are resolved with suffixes or prefixes, and pick-list values are entered for dropdown Regions. If your org uses a managed package namespace, fields are created with the namespace prefix. Once field creation is validated in sandbox, the same field definitions are deployed to production.
Resolve Field2Base users to Salesforce Contacts
FlitStack AI extracts all Field2Base user records and attempts email-based matching against your existing Salesforce Contacts. Matched users link their submitted forms directly to their Contact record via the Case's ContactId lookup. Unmatched users are flagged in a pre-migration report — your team either pre-creates Salesforce Contacts for them or confirms a fallback assignment. This step prevents Cases from landing with no Contact lookup, which can break Salesforce reporting and Flow triggers that depend on Case.ContactId.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of submitted forms — typically 200–500 records spanning multiple form templates — migrates into Salesforce sandbox first. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source Field2Base values against the migrated Salesforce Case custom field values. Your team reviews the diff to verify Region-to-field mapping accuracy, GPS data placement, status value mapping, and photo attachment integrity. Sample migration validation typically takes 1–2 business days before the full run is approved.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full submitted form dataset migrates to Salesforce production via Bulk API (for volume efficiency) with status filter applied. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs concurrently: any new form submissions that arrive in Field2Base during the cutover window are captured and migrated in a second pass. After the delta pass, an audit log is generated showing record counts by form template, status breakdown, and any records that failed validation. One-click rollback is available for 72 hours post-migration if reconciliation reveals unexpected gaps.
