Overview
Floww.ai stores data in a non-standard relational schema tied to its Flow and Workflow engine, with no public REST API for programmatic retrieval. Every migration begins with a coordinated manual export pass from within the platform, where we batch large datasets into manageable chunks, validate record counts, and resolve any pagination limits imposed by the export utility. Relationships between Custom Objects use one-to-many and many-to-many cardinalities that require junction-object construction or field flattening in Salesforce depending on the destination org's schema capabilities. We preserve the full pipeline and stage configuration as a written reference document for the customer's admin to rebuild as Salesforce Record Types and Sales Processes. Workflows, Flows, and automation sequences do not migrate as executable code; we deliver a configuration inventory for admin-side rebuild. Historical activity timelines (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) move through the Salesforce Bulk API with parent-record lookup resolution against Contact, Lead, and Opportunity IDs resolved before each batch write.
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 Floww.ai 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.
Floww.ai
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Floww.ai Contact records migrate to Salesforce Contact with standard fields (Name, Email, Phone, Title) preserved. We use email as the external ID dedupe key during import. Any custom Contact properties defined in Floww.ai are mapped field-by-field to Salesforce custom fields on Contact, with type conversion applied (e.g., multi-select from Floww.ai maps to a multi-select picklist or a junction object depending on cardinality). Custom fields are pre-created in the destination org before migration begins.
Floww.ai
Lead
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:1Floww.ai Lead records migrate to Salesforce Lead with all standard and custom fields preserved. We use email as the external ID dedupe key. The Floww.ai lead categorization properties map to Salesforce Lead Status and any custom picklist fields representing lead source, industry segment, or qualification tier. Owner matching is resolved by email against Salesforce User records before import.
Floww.ai
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Floww.ai Company records map to Salesforce Account. The company name becomes Account Name; the domain or website becomes the Website field. We use Account Name and Website as compound dedupe keys to prevent duplicate Accounts from multiple Floww.ai exports. Account is created before Contact import so the AccountId lookup is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert.
Floww.ai
Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Floww.ai Deal records migrate to Salesforce Opportunity. Deal value maps to Amount, expected close date maps to CloseDate, owner maps to OwnerId, and the linked pipeline and stage assignment maps to a Salesforce Record Type and Sales Process combination we configure before migration. Closed-Won and Closed-Lost reasons from Floww.ai become custom Opportunity fields for loss and win analysis.
Floww.ai
Pipeline
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Record Type + Sales Process
lossyFloww.ai pipelines map to Salesforce Record Types on Opportunity. Each pipeline's stage set becomes a Salesforce Sales Process that whitelists only the relevant stage values for that pipeline. We extract the live pipeline definitions from Floww.ai during scoping, including stage names, stage order, and any probability values, and configure the equivalent Salesforce schema in a Sandbox org before deploying to production.
Floww.ai
Pipeline Stages
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity Stage
lossyStage definitions from each Floww.ai pipeline are extracted and mapped to Salesforce Opportunity Stage values within the corresponding Sales Process. Stage probability percentages migrate to StageProbability, rounded to the nearest integer. We flag any stages that do not map cleanly to standard Salesforce stages and document custom stage values required.
Floww.ai
Custom Object
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object
1:1Floww.ai Custom Object records migrate to Salesforce Custom Objects (with __c API name suffix). We require a schema map from the customer covering all Custom Object definitions, their custom properties, and their relationship cardinalities before writing to the destination. This mapping step cannot proceed without the schema map because the destination custom object API names and field definitions must be pre-created in Salesforce before data import.
Floww.ai
Custom Object Relationships
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object + Junction Object or Lookup
lossyFloww.ai Custom Objects use one-to-many and many-to-many relationships that do not map directly to Salesforce's standard relationship model. For many-to-many relationships, we construct a junction object in Salesforce with two master-detail or lookup fields pointing to the related custom objects. For one-to-many relationships, we configure a standard lookup or master-detail from the child to the parent custom object. The customer's schema map drives the junction object design during the configuration step.
Floww.ai
Activity: Call
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task (TaskSubtype = Call)
1:1Floww.ai call activity records migrate to Salesforce Task with TaskSubtype set to Call. Call duration, disposition, and any recording URL stored in Floww.ai are mapped to custom Task fields. Activity timestamps are preserved by setting ActivityDate to the original Floww.ai activity timestamp. Calls are written after Contact and Lead records are confirmed in Salesforce so that the WhoId reference is satisfied.
Floww.ai
Activity: Email
Salesforce Sales Cloud
EmailMessage + Task
1:1Floww.ai email activity records migrate to Salesforce EmailMessage (the email content) linked to a Task record (the activity timeline entry). The WhoId on Task points to the migrated Contact or Lead; the WhatId points to the related Opportunity or Account. Email body content migrates as plain text or HTML depending on the destination org's EmailMessage configuration.
Floww.ai
Activity: Meeting
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Event
1:1Floww.ai meeting activity records migrate to Salesforce Event. StartDateTime, EndDateTime, Subject, and Location are preserved directly. Attendee records from Floww.ai map to EventRelation records linked to the corresponding Contact, Lead, or User in Salesforce.
Floww.ai
Activity: Note
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note
1:1Floww.ai notes migrate to Salesforce Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent record (Contact, Lead, Account, or Opportunity). Note body migrates as rich text. File attachments embedded in Floww.ai notes migrate as separate ContentDocument records and linked to the same parent record.
Floww.ai
Activity: Task
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1Floww.ai task records migrate to Salesforce Task with Status, Priority, Subject, ActivityDate, and OwnerId preserved. Task assignment migrates by resolving the Floww.ai owner reference to Salesforce OwnerId via the User email matching step.
Floww.ai
Tag / Segment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Multi-Select Picklist or Custom Field
lossyFloww.ai tags and segments applied to Contacts, Leads, and Deals migrate to a Salesforce custom field. If the tag count is small (under 20 distinct tags), we use a multi-select picklist on the relevant object. If tags are numerous or used across multiple object types, we create a custom Tags__c junction object with lookups to Contact, Lead, and Opportunity, allowing flexible tag assignment at scale.
Floww.ai
User / Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Floww.ai user and owner references on Contact, Lead, Deal, and Activity records are resolved by matching email addresses against Salesforce User records. Any Floww.ai owner without a matching Salesforce User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. OwnerId references must be resolved before Deal and Activity imports proceed.
Floww.ai
Attachment / Recording
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument + ContentVersion
1:1Floww.ai file attachments and call recordings are flagged for separate file migration handling. Attachments linked to Contacts, Deals, and Activities are retrieved from the platform's storage layer where the customer grants access, then uploaded to Salesforce as ContentVersion records linked to the relevant parent record via ContentDocumentLink. Call recordings are optional migration targets and are included only upon explicit customer confirmation.

Migration approach
Manual export coordination and data inventory
We work with the customer to execute all Floww.ai bulk exports from within the platform: Contacts, Leads, Companies, Deals, Activities, Custom Objects, and Tags. We validate record counts per export against in-platform totals and identify any pagination limits or row caps that require multiple filtered export passes. This step establishes the baseline data inventory and cannot be parallelized with other steps because the exports must be completed before any transformation or import begins. It typically adds one to two weeks to the migration timeline compared to API-first source platforms.
Schema design and Salesforce destination setup
We design the destination schema in Salesforce. This includes creating all custom objects and fields (with __c API names matched to Floww.ai Custom Object names), configuring Record Types and Sales Processes per Floww.ai pipeline, building junction objects for many-to-many relationships identified in the customer-provided schema map, and setting up custom fields for Floww.ai properties that have no direct Salesforce standard field equivalent. Schema is deployed to a Salesforce Sandbox first for validation before any production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks 25-50 records against Floww.ai source data, and validates that Custom Object relationships are resolving correctly in Salesforce. Any mapping corrections, schema adjustments, or junction object redesigns happen in the Sandbox phase. This step is critical for Floww.ai migrations because the manual export process may produce datasets with encoding issues, missing fields, or inconsistent date formats that need cleaning before production import.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Floww.ai owner referenced on Contact, Lead, Deal, and Activity records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Owners without a matching User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users and confirms their availability before record import resumes. OwnerId references must be resolved before Deal and Activity imports proceed.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Floww.ai Companies), Contacts and Leads (with AccountId resolved), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), Activity history (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages via Bulk API 2.0), Custom Objects and junction objects (last, because they often have cross-object lookups that must reference existing standard object records). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, delta migration, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Floww.ai writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the last export pass, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver the Floww.ai Workflow and Flow configuration inventory document to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuilds in Salesforce Flow are outside the standard migration scope and are handled as a separate engagement or by the customer's internal admin team.
