Overview
GAIA.law stores agreements, parties, and extracted contract data as structured records accessible via API. Salesforce Sales Cloud models the same entities as Opportunities with custom fields, Contacts, and custom objects. FlitStack AI connects to GAIA.law's API, extracts agreement records with party associations and extracted data fields, and loads them into Salesforce via Bulk API with field-level transforms for date fields, status values, and currency amounts. Owner resolution matches GAIA.law owner emails to Salesforce User records by email. The migration preserves original create dates, effective dates, and approval metadata, normalizing date fields to the Salesforce org's timezone and converting currency amounts using stored exchange rates or Salesforce Multi-Currency if enabled. Multi‑country data is handled by mapping GAIA.law country codes to Salesforce State/Country pick‑list values. Workflow rules, approval sequences, and e‑sign integrations do not migrate — FlitStack exports those definitions as a rebuild reference for your Salesforce admin. Files attached to GAIA.law agreements are downloaded and re‑uploaded to Salesforce Files with a link back to the parent Opportunity record. The Bulk API runs in parallel batches to keep load times short, and a delta‑pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial load captures any changes made in GAIA.law during cutover. A rollback script can revert the Salesforce org to its pre‑migration state if critical issues arise. We run a sample migration first with a field‑level diff before committing to the full run.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a GAIA.law 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.
GAIA.law
Agreement
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1GAIA.law agreements map to Salesforce Opportunities. The agreement_name maps to Opportunity.Name, agreement_value maps to Amount, effective_date maps to CloseDate with timezone normalization, and contract_status maps via a value map to Opportunity.StageName. GAIA.law agreement_type (NDA, MSA, SOW) may require separate Salesforce Record Types if page layouts differ per type.
GAIA.law
Party
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1GAIA.law parties (individuals and organizations associated with agreements) map to Salesforce Contacts. When party_type is 'organization', the Party.company_name maps to Contact.AccountId lookup — requiring an Account record to exist first. Individual parties map as Contacts with no AccountId unless a company name is present in GAIA.law.
GAIA.law
Party (organization)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
many:1GAIA.law organization-type parties merge into Salesforce Accounts. Each unique organization name in GAIA.law creates one Account record, and duplicate organization names are de‑duplicated before insertion to avoid creating multiple accounts. Multi‑party agreements with multiple organizations generate multiple Account records linked to the corresponding Opportunity via OpportunityContactRole. If an organization appears with different branch offices in GAIA.law, FlitStack can preserve the branch detail in a custom field on the Account record.
GAIA.law
Agreement-Party link
Salesforce Sales Cloud
OpportunityContactRole
1:1GAIA.law's party-to-agreement association maps to Salesforce OpportunityContactRole. The party_role field from GAIA.law (such as 'counterparty', 'witness', 'guarantor') populates the Salesforce OpportunityContactRole.Role picklist, allowing each agreement to list multiple parties with distinct roles. Each party linked to an agreement generates a corresponding OpportunityContactRole record; inactive or duplicate roles are flagged for review before insertion.
GAIA.law
Extracted Data Field
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field (__c) on Opportunity
1:1GAIA.law AI-extracted fields from contract documents (such as renewal_term_months, auto_renew_clause, governing_law, liability_cap) become Salesforce custom fields on the Opportunity object. Field types are inferred from GAIA.law data types — numeric extractions become Number fields, dates become Date fields, and text extractions become Text fields. Custom field names follow Salesforce __c naming convention.
GAIA.law
Approval Record
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object (Agreement_Approval__c)
1:1GAIA.law approval history entries (approver email, decision, timestamp, comments) do not have a native Salesforce equivalent. FlitStack creates a custom Agreement_Approval__c object with fields for approver, decision, approval_date, and a lookup to the parent Opportunity. This preserves the audit trail in Salesforce as a related list.
GAIA.law
Agreement File/Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument (Salesforce Files)
1:1Files attached to GAIA.law agreements are downloaded and re-uploaded to Salesforce Files (ContentDocument/ContentVersion). Each file is linked to the parent Opportunity via ContentDocumentLink. The original GAIA.law file name is preserved as the Salesforce Title. Salesforce file size limits (default 25MB per file) are enforced — larger files are flagged before migration.
GAIA.law
GAIA.law User / Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User (OwnerId on Opportunity)
1:1GAIA.law owner_id on an agreement references a GAIA.law user. FlitStack resolves each owner by matching the GAIA.law user email to a Salesforce User record. Matched owners populate Opportunity.OwnerId. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — teams either invite them to Salesforce first or assign records to a fallback user.
GAIA.law
GAIA.law Agreement
Salesforce Sales Cloud
RecordTypeId on Opportunity
1:1When GAIA.law agreements use distinct agreement_type values (NDA, MSA, SOW, Employment) with different field sets, each type maps to a Salesforce Opportunity Record Type. Record Types control available StageName pick-list values and page layouts per agreement category. Your Salesforce admin creates the Record Types before data lands.
GAIA.law
E-sign Status
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field (ESign_Status__c) on Opportunity
1:1GAIA.law e-sign status (sent, viewed, signed, declined) from its DocuSign or Adobe Sign integration is preserved as a read-only custom field ESign_Status__c on the Opportunity. The active DocuSign or Adobe Sign envelope does not transfer — the e-sign integration must be reconnected in Salesforce with new envelope creation for in-flight agreements.

Migration approach
Audit GAIA.law schema and export agreement data via API
FlitStack connects to GAIA.law's API using scoped read access and inventories all agreement records, party records, extracted data fields, attachment references, owner assignments, and approval history entries. We identify every distinct extracted field name across agreements, every unique contract_status value, and every agreement_type used — building the field map and value map before any data moves. Duplicate agreement names, missing owner emails, and organization-type parties with no company name are flagged in this audit phase so your team resolves them before migration.
Create Salesforce custom fields, record types, and pick-list values
Based on the GAIA.law schema audit, FlitStack generates a Salesforce setup plan: custom fields on Opportunity (Gaia_Agreement_ID__c, ESign_Status__c, Original_Create_Date__c, Contract_Expiration_Date__c, plus all extracted data fields), a custom Agreement_Approval__c object for approval audit trails, and Record Types per agreement_type if page layouts differ per contract category. Contract status value maps are prepared linking GAIA.law status values to Salesforce StageName values. Your Salesforce admin applies this setup plan in a sandbox before the migration dry run.
Resolve GAIA.law owners by email match to Salesforce users
Each GAIA.law owner email is matched against Salesforce User email addresses. FlitStack generates a resolution report showing matched owners (Opportunity.OwnerId will populate correctly), unmatched owners (flagged for team action — either invite the user to Salesforce first or assign to a fallback owner), and duplicate email scenarios. No agreement migrates without a resolved OwnerId. This step runs before any Opportunity records are inserted so the owner foreign key is valid at insert time.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 50–200 agreements migrates first — spanning multiple agreement types, statuses, and parties with file attachments. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing each source field against the destination Salesforce field so you can verify StageName value mapping, extracted field population, OpportunityContactRole completeness, and OwnerId resolution before the full run commits. Sample migration runs against a Salesforce sandbox or full-copy org. Your team reviews the diff and approves field mapping adjustments before FlitStack proceeds to the full run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback plan
The full GAIA.law dataset migrates to Salesforce via Bulk API. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after the initial load) captures any agreements, parties, or approvals modified in GAIA.law during the cutover period. All operations are logged in an audit trail. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation finds missing records or incorrect field population — FlitStack reverts Salesforce to the pre-migration state while preserving the migration log for re-run. After rollback verification, the final delta load closes the migration window.
