Overview
Moving from Gamooga to Salesforce is a structural migration that starts with a data-retrieval challenge: Gamooga's documented API is its Historic Data Push endpoint, which uploads data rather than extracts it, and there is no publicly documented REST endpoint for pulling user profiles, event history, or segment definitions. We resolve this during discovery by working with Gamooga's support or CSM team to produce a full data export before any migration scoping finalizes. User profiles map to Salesforce Contacts with all standard profile fields preserved and any extended properties migrated as custom fields. Gamooga's dynamic Segments use behavioral rules that cannot be exported as portable configuration, so we extract the rule structure as human-readable criteria and reconstruct equivalent segments in Salesforce using filter logic and Salesforce Campaigns as the audience container. Behavioral events migrate as Task and Event activity records, preserving the timestamp and event type. Automation workflows migrate as structured step sequences documented for rebuild in Salesforce Flow. We do not migrate channel configurations (Push, SMS, Email, In-App), the native recommendation engine, or live analytics dashboards because these are platform-native and not portable across systems.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Gamooga 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.
Gamooga
User
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Gamooga User profiles (email, mobile number, behavioral attributes) map to Salesforce Contact as the primary CRM record. Standard profile fields migrate directly. Extended properties uploaded via Gamooga's Historic Data Push migrate as custom fields on Contact with the __c suffix. We preserve the Gamooga user_id in a custom field gamooga_id__c for reconciliation. Salesforce requires a non-null LastName on Contact, so we derive this from the display name or email local-part when not explicitly available in Gamooga.
Gamooga
User
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:1Gamooga users in a pre-customer lifecycle stage (subscribers, trial users) may map to Salesforce Lead instead of Contact depending on the customer's lifecycle model. We determine the mapping during scoping based on whether the Gamooga user has converted to a customer or remains in an acquisition-stage status. The gamooga_id__c custom field is also created on Lead for reconciliation.
Gamooga
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1If Gamooga contains company-level records or domain-associated user groupings, these map to Salesforce Account. The domain becomes the Account Website field. Account is created before Contact import so the AccountId lookup is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert. If Gamooga does not maintain company records, we create Account records from user-domain groupings during migration.
Gamooga
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign
1:1Gamooga Campaigns (lifecycle and promotional journeys) map to Salesforce Campaign objects. Campaign Name, Status, Type, and dates migrate directly. Channel-specific configuration (push template IDs, SMS sender IDs) cannot migrate because these are Gamooga channel bindings; we document them as configuration stubs requiring rebuild in Salesforce Marketing Cloud or Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.
Gamooga
Segment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign (with filter criteria)
lossyGamooga dynamic Segments use behavioral rules (demographics, purchase history, app behavior, geolocation) evaluated in real time by the Gamooga engine. These rule definitions cannot be exported as portable configuration. We extract the rule structure as human-readable criteria for each segment and reconstruct them in Salesforce as Campaign filter-based audience lists using the Campaign Members feature. Any behavioral data attributes present in Gamooga but absent from the Salesforce Contact schema are flagged as schema gaps requiring custom field creation before segment reconstruction completes.
Gamooga
Event
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task and Event
1:1Gamooga Events (page views, purchases, cart actions, custom behavioral events) map to Salesforce Task and Event activity records. Event type maps to Task Subject or Event Subject; event timestamp maps to ActivityDate and StartDateTime respectively. The WhoId on Task points to the migrated Contact or Lead. Large event histories (over 100,000 records) require Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with chunking and parent-record lookup resolution to avoid timeout and governor limit failures.
Gamooga
Custom Properties
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields
1:1Extended user properties uploaded via Gamooga's Historic Data Push migrate as custom Contact or Lead fields in Salesforce. Data type mapping follows standard conventions: strings become Text, dates become Date, numbers become Number, and booleans become Checkbox. Ambiguously typed fields (raw JSON blobs, mixed-type arrays) are flagged for customer review during scoping, and either are cleaned during transformation or are stored as Long Text Area fields.
Gamooga
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:manyGamooga Campaigns that represent sales-oriented revenue journeys (closed-lost, closed-won, pipeline progression) may map to Salesforce Opportunity records. We identify these during discovery by reviewing campaign status values and whether revenue data is attached. The mapping is conditional and requires customer confirmation during scoping; not all Gamooga Campaigns are sales-pipeline records.
Gamooga
Automation Workflow
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Flow (documented rebuild)
lossyGamooga workflow definitions created on the graphical canvas are documented as structured step sequences in a written handoff document. Channel-specific action steps (push template bindings, SMS sender bindings) are documented as configurable stubs. We do not migrate workflows as executable Salesforce Flow because the automation models differ structurally. The customer's admin or a Salesforce partner rebuilds them post-migration.
Gamooga
Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Gamooga Owners (users who own campaigns, segments, or user records) map to Salesforce User records by email match. Any Gamooga 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 are required on most standard objects, so this step gates the full migration.
Gamooga
Analytics Report
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Report (static export)
1:1Gamooga pre-built analytics dashboards export as static data files (CSV or Excel) rather than live Salesforce Reports. The underlying live-reporting pipeline, real-time segment calculations, and predictive recommendation outputs cannot transfer. We deliver the static export files and a mapping document showing which Gamooga report metrics correspond to standard Salesforce Report types.
Gamooga
Recommendations
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object (rebuild required)
1:1Gamooga's dynamic recommendation engine is platform-native and tied to its predictive analytics layer. Recommendation logic and model outputs do not export and must be rebuilt in Salesforce using either Salesforce Data Cloud for behavioral scoring or a third-party recommendation engine. We document the recommendation model inputs (user attributes, event types, product attributes) as a rebuild specification.

Migration approach
Discovery and export coordination
We audit the Gamooga instance for user volume, campaign count, segment definitions, event history volume, and custom property schemas. Simultaneously, we coordinate with Gamooga's support or CSM team to request a full data export. This is the most critical step for this migration pair because there is no self-service export path. We define the expected export format (CSV or JSON), field inventory, and delivery timeline. If Gamooga cannot produce a complete export within four weeks, we fall back to dashboard-based extraction and flag any gaps in the event history.
Destination schema design
We design the Salesforce destination schema based on the Gamooga export. This includes creating custom fields (__c API names) on Contact and Lead for Gamooga extended properties, creating a Salesforce Campaign structure that mirrors the Gamooga campaign hierarchy, designing the segment-rebuild playbook (Campaign filter criteria), and provisioning any required Record Types and Sales Processes if Opportunity mapping is in scope. Schema is deployed to a Salesforce Sandbox first for validation.
Segment-rule extraction and rebuild playbook
For each Gamooga segment, we extract the behavioral rule definition in human-readable form (criteria, operators, values, AND/OR logic). We map each criterion to the corresponding Salesforce Contact field (standard or custom). We produce a segment-rebuild playbook that the customer's admin uses to recreate each segment in Salesforce as a Campaign filter-based audience list. Segments with complex multi-condition rules or external data dependencies are flagged with a rebuild complexity rating.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume from the Gamooga export. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Leads in, Accounts in, Campaigns in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Gamooga source data, and validates the segment-rebuild playbook against the original Gamooga segment rules. Sign-off on the Sandbox migration gates the production migration.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Gamooga Owner referenced on User, Campaign, Segment, and Event 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 before production migration begins. OwnerId references are required on most standard objects, so this step gates the full migration.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (if Gamooga contains company records), Contacts and Leads (with Gamooga user_id preserved in gamooga_id__c), Campaigns (with channel configurations documented as stubs), Activities (Tasks and Events via Bulk API 2.0 for large event histories), Custom Fields (populated during the User import phase), and Segment rebuild (post-migration using the playbook). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Gamooga writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver the automation workflow inventory, the segment-rebuild playbook, and the channel-configuration stubs to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Gamooga workflows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
