Overview
Fieldy is a field service management platform — its data model centers on Jobs, Customers, Locations, and line items tied to service tasks. Freshsales is a sales CRM built around Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals. The two models diverge significantly: Fieldy has no native lead-conversion equivalent, its job status lifecycle has no direct Freshsales analogue, and Fieldy's per-job line-item accounting lives outside Freshsales's product catalog structure. We map Fieldy Customers to Freshsales Accounts (and Contacts), Fieldy Jobs to Freshsales Deals with custom fields for job status and technician assignment, Fieldy Locations to account address fields or custom address records, and Fieldy line items to Freshsales Products where possible or custom Deal fields where the mapping requires FSM-specific context. Attachments and timestamps migrate via CSV-based bulk load into Freshsales. Workflows, scheduling rules, and route-optimization logic have no Freshsales equivalent and must be rebuilt using Freshsales Workflows and territory management after migration.
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 Fieldy 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.
Fieldy
Customer
Freshsales
Account + Contact
many:1Fieldy Customers map to Freshsales Accounts (business-level) and Contacts (person-level). The primary contact person on each Customer record becomes a Freshsales Contact linked to the Account. Additional contact persons from the same Customer become secondary Contacts under the Account. If a Customer has multiple site locations, we assign the primary location address to the Account, while secondary addresses are stored in a custom Locations module when available.
Fieldy
Job
Freshsales
Deal + custom fields on Deal
1:1Fieldy Jobs map to Freshsales Deals with FSM-specific fields (job status, technician, service type) migrated as custom fields on the Deal. Job name becomes Deal name; job amount becomes Deal amount. Job created date preserved as a custom datetime field since Freshsales CreatedDate reflects migration time, not the original record date.
Fieldy
Location
Freshsales
Account address fields or custom Location module
1:1Fieldy Locations store service-site addresses, site contacts, and access notes. These map to the Account's address fields for the primary site. Secondary or multi-site locations migrate as a Freshsales custom module record linked to the Account — a pattern ClonePartner documents for Fieldy-to-Freshsales migrations requiring multiple addresses per customer.
Fieldy
Job Line Item
Freshsales
Product + Deal Product or custom Deal field
1:manyFieldy job line items (parts, labor, fees) split based on type. Service items with a unit price and quantity map to Freshsales Products and attached to the Deal via Deal Products. Flat fees or miscellaneous charges without a product catalogue entry map to a custom text field on the Deal, since Freshsales Deal Products require a product catalog entry for each line item.
Fieldy
Job Status
Freshsales
Custom pick-list field on Deal (Job_Status__c)
1:1Fieldy job statuses (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Invoiced, Cancelled) have no Freshsales native equivalent. We create a custom pick-list field on Deal to capture the FSM job status alongside the standard Freshsales sales pipeline stage. Stage-history timestamps are preserved as separate custom datetime fields.
Fieldy
Technician / Assigned Staff
Freshsales
Custom field on Deal (Assigned_Technician__c) + Freshsales User lookup
1:1Fieldy technician assignment maps to a custom text field on Deal storing the technician name. Where Fieldy technicians also exist as Freshsales users (for accounts where both tools are used), we resolve by email match and store the Freshsales User ID in a lookup field so the assignment is actionable in Freshsales.
Fieldy
Job Attachment / Photo
Freshsales
File attached to corresponding Deal or Account
1:1Fieldy job photos, signatures, and PDF attachments migrate as files attached to the corresponding Freshsales Deal (for job-specific attachments) or Account (for site documentation). File size limits on Freshsales apply — files over 25MB are split or linked by URL reference.
Fieldy
Job Notes
Freshsales
Note on Deal or Account
1:1Fieldy job notes migrate as Freshsales Notes attached to the corresponding Deal. Original timestamps and the note author (matched by email to a Freshsales User) are preserved. Rich-text formatting in Fieldy notes is converted to plain text to match Freshsales Note body format.
Fieldy
Custom Fields (FSM-specific)
Freshsales
Custom fields on Deal or custom Deal module
1:1Fieldy custom fields on Jobs (custom form fields, service-type tags, SLA flags) migrate as Freshsales custom fields on Deal. Field types map: text fields to text, pick-lists to pick-lists, date fields to dates. Some FSM-specific field types that don't map cleanly to Freshsales field types land as text fields with a note in the mapping workbook.
Fieldy
User / Technician
Freshsales
Freshsales User (for dual-tool accounts) or custom field
1:1Fieldy technicians who are also Freshsales users get resolved by email match. Unmatched technicians are flagged before migration — your team decides whether to invite them to Freshsales or assign their records to a fallback owner. No record lands in Freshsales without a resolved owner.
Fieldy
Workflow / Automation (Fieldy)
Freshsales
No equivalent — must be rebuilt in Freshsales
1:1Fieldy workflow rules (auto-assignment, SLA alerts, job-status triggers) have no Freshsales equivalent and do not migrate. We export your Fieldy workflow definitions as a reference document so your Freshsales admin can rebuild them using Freshsales Workflows after migration. The exported document includes trigger conditions, action details, and any conditional logic, allowing your team to recreate each rule with minimal trial and error in Freshsales.
Fieldy
Fieldy Integrations
Freshsales
No equivalent — Freshsales integrations rebuilt separately
1:1Fieldy integrations (QuickBooks, Xero, payment gateways, GPS/routing tools) have no direct Freshsales equivalent. Freshsales has its own Freshworks Marketplace integrations — these must be configured separately after migration. We flag which integrations are replacements versus which require third-party middleware. For each flagged integration, we provide a brief setup guide that includes required credentials, API endpoints, and sync frequency recommendations to streamline the post-migration configuration.

Migration approach
Audit Fieldy export and design Freshsales schema
We run a pre-migration audit against your Fieldy account: exporting sample records from Customers, Jobs, Locations, and Line Items to confirm CSV field coverage. Any custom fields absent from the export are flagged. Based on the audit, we design the Freshsales custom field set — Job_Status__c, Assigned_Technician__c, Service_Type__c, Priority__c, and others — before any data lands. A schema setup plan is delivered so your Freshsales admin can pre-create the fields.
Build the mapping workbook with FSM field decisions
We build a field-level mapping workbook covering every Fieldy object and custom field. FSM-specific decisions are documented: job status → Job_Status__c, technician assignment → Assigned_Technician__c or User lookup, service type → Service_Type__c, line items → Products plus Deal Products. The workbook is reviewed with your team before migration runs so no mapping decision is a surprise on cutover day. We also include a glossary of Freshsales field names, data type references, and validation rules so your admin can pre-validate any values that may require transformation before loading.
Resolve owners and cross-reference Freshsales users
Fieldy technicians and account managers are resolved by email match against Freshsales users. Unmatched users are flagged — your team either invites them to Freshsales before migration or assigns their records to a fallback owner. We flag any Fieldy customer records that have no corresponding email in Freshsales, so these can be assigned manually rather than orphaning records in Freshsales.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice (typically 200–500 records spanning Customers, Jobs, Locations, and Line Items) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing the source value, mapped value, and destination field so you can verify FSM field mapping — especially job status and technician assignment — before the full run commits. Approval of the sample migration is required before we proceed to full load.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full migration runs against Freshsales using CSV bulk load. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any Fieldy records modified during the cutover. Freshsales workflows, territory rules, and automation are activated after migration completes. The audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available for 72 hours post-migration if reconciliation reveals unexpected field mapping results. During the delta window, any new jobs created in Fieldy are imported into Freshsales before the final sync, ensuring a zero-gap cutover for active service schedules.
