Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Getfly CRM to Freshsales is a migration from a Vietnam-market CRM built for SME bundling to a globally-available AI-powered CRM from the Freshworks suite. Getfly organizes data behind customer-specific subdomains on getflycrm.com with static X-API-KEY authentication, while Freshsales uses Freshsales Suite API with per-user or subdomain-based authentication. We resolve the owner mapping by matching Getfly owner email to Freshsales user email, map Getfly Accounts to Freshsales Contacts or Organizations based on the customer's business model, and preserve deal stage names as Freshsales pipeline stages. Workflow automations built in Getfly do not export via API and are documented in full during scoping for admin rebuild. Call recordings referenced by URL in Getfly are downloaded at export time and re-uploaded to Freshsales to prevent broken links after cutover.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Getfly CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Scaling businesses report that Getfly's feature set plateaus relative to their growth needs, particularly when comparing pipeline customization and advanced analytics to platforms like HubSpot or Pipedrive.
  • International expansion requirements create friction for companies outgrowing a Vietnam-centric CRM, as English-language documentation, multilingual support, and global compliance features are limited.
  • The platform's visual workflow builder lacks the expressiveness of competing tools, leading customers with complex automation requirements to seek alternatives where logic is easier to author and debug.

Choosing

Freshsales logo

Freshsales

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry among major CRMs — the free tier supports up to 3 users and includes core CRM functionality before committing to per-seat pricing.
  • Built-in chat, email, and phone reduce reliance on third-party integrations for basic sales communication and contact management.
  • Freddy AI contact scoring and deal insights are included on Pro plans at a lower price than comparable HubSpot tiers.
  • Kanban pipeline views across Contacts, Accounts, and Deals provide visual deal management without requiring custom configuration.
  • Integration with the broader Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshchat, Freshservice) reduces tool sprawl for teams already using Freshworks.

Object mapping

How Getfly CRM objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a Getfly CRM 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.

Getfly CRM

Account

maps to

Freshsales

Contact or Organization

1:1
Fully supported

Getfly Accounts map to Freshsales Contact records with Organization linkage. We assess during scoping whether the customer uses B2B (Account maps to Organization with Contacts) or B2C (Account maps directly to Contact). Email becomes the dedupe key. Standard fields (name, phone, email, address) migrate directly. Custom fields on Getfly Accounts are mapped to Freshsales Contact custom fields or Organization custom fields based on the chosen model.

Getfly CRM

Product

maps to

Freshsales

Product

1:1
Fully supported

Getfly Products hold item-level data including pricing, SKU, and custom fields in nested detail_custom_fields. We flatten these into scalar columns compatible with Freshsales Product fields. ProductCode maps from Getfly sku. Active/inactive status migrates as Product status. Products are loaded before Deals so that line-item references resolve at import time.

Getfly CRM

Pipeline Stages

maps to

Freshsales

Pipeline Stages

lossy
Mapping required

Getfly deal stages are customer-specific and extracted from the full stage configuration. Each Getfly stage becomes a Freshsales Pipeline stage with name and probability preserved. Stage order migrates to Freshsales stage sequence. If Getfly uses multiple pipelines, each maps to a separate Freshsales Pipeline. The customer confirms stage mapping during scoping before migration begins.

Getfly CRM

Activities (Tasks, Calls, Meetings)

maps to

Freshsales

Tasks

1:1
Fully supported

Getfly Activities (type, date, duration, owner assignment, linked account) map to Freshsales Tasks. Activity type maps to Freshsales Task category field. Owner assignment resolves via email-based lookup to Freshsales User. Date and duration migrate directly. Tasks load after Contact and Organization to satisfy parent-record lookups.

Getfly CRM

Call Logs (PABX)

maps to

Freshsales

Tasks

1:1
Mapping required

Getfly PABX call logs include call direction, duration, and recording URL references. We export these as Freshsales Tasks with a call disposition field. Recording URLs are downloaded to local storage at export time and re-uploaded to Freshsales file storage. If Freshcaller is adopted as the call replacement, call records migrate to Freshcaller Call Logs. URL time-limited links are handled during the export window to prevent broken references.

Getfly CRM

Users/Owners

maps to

Freshsales

Users

1:1
Fully supported

Getfly Users are exported by name, email, and role. We resolve each Getfly owner email against Freshsales Users by email match. Owners without a matching Freshsales User are held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Active/inactive status migrates where supported. Role assignments are noted for documentation but do not auto-provision role-based permissions in Freshsales.

Getfly CRM

Attachments

maps to

Freshsales

Attachments

1:1
Mapping required

Attachments associated with Getfly Accounts or Products are referenced by URL in the API. We download files to local storage during export and re-upload to Freshsales as file attachments linked to the corresponding Contact or Organization record. Original filenames are preserved. File size limits for Freshsales attachment uploads apply and are verified during scoping.

Getfly CRM

Campaigns

maps to

Freshsales

Target Lists

1:1
Mapping required

Marketing campaigns in Getfly (name, start/end dates, linked accounts) migrate to Freshsales Target Lists. Campaign membership—indicating which accounts were contacted—migrates as tagged Target List membership. Active campaign status maps to Target List active/inactive. If the customer uses Freshmarketer in parallel, campaign data maps to Freshmarketer Campaigns instead.

Getfly CRM

Workflow Automations

maps to

Freshsales

Workflows (documented only)

lossy
Not supported

Getfly workflow rules are internal platform configuration with no public export endpoint. We do not migrate automations as code. We deliver a written inventory of every active Getfly Workflow with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Freshsales automation equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds automations in Freshsales using the automation builder. This documentation step is completed during the discovery phase before any data moves.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Workflow automations do not export from Getfly

    Getfly stores automation rules as internal configuration with no public export endpoint. Any trigger logic, conditions, or actions are lost on migration unless manually documented beforehand. We address this by providing a workflow audit questionnaire during scoping that the customer completes, capturing every active automation before we begin. We then deliver a written inventory with Freshsales automation equivalents. Automations must be rebuilt in Freshsales post-migration by the customer's admin or a Freshworks partner.

  • X-API-KEY subdomain authentication requires single-org extraction

    Getfly API authentication uses a static X-API-KEY header tied to a customer-specific subdomain. There is no OAuth flow or per-user token rotation. Keys are issued per-organization. We request the API key during scoping and use it read-only where possible. If the key is rotated mid-migration, we re-authenticate and resume from the last checkpoint. Parallel Getfly access during migration must be coordinated to avoid subdomain-level conflicts.

  • Custom field schemas lack a discovery endpoint

    Getfly does not publish a field schema endpoint listing all active custom fields. We discover custom fields by sampling Product and Account records during export, which may miss rarely-used fields. We mitigate this by instructing customers to run a full field audit report from within Getfly's admin panel before migration kickoff. All discovered custom fields are mapped explicitly before the first production import.

  • Call recording URLs require re-hosting

    Getfly PABX call logs return a recording URL rather than the audio file itself. The URL may be a signed or time-limited link. We download recordings at export time and re-upload to Freshsales file storage. If the source PABX system is replaced alongside the CRM, recording continuity must be explicitly scoped before migration begins. URL time-expiry during the export window can result in partial recording loss if not handled promptly.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Getfly CRM to Freshsales data migration

  1. Discovery and API access

    We audit the source Getfly subdomain across custom fields on Products and Accounts, pipeline stage configuration, owner roster, activity volume, call log count, and attachment inventory. We request the X-API-KEY and verify read access. We also collect the workflow audit questionnaire from the customer documenting every active automation for the rebuild inventory. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a record-count projection for each object type.

  2. Freshsales schema pre-creation

    We pre-create the Freshsales schema before any data loads. This includes custom Contact and Organization fields mapped from Getfly Account custom fields, Products with SKU and pricing, Pipeline configuration with stage names and probabilities matching Getfly stages, and user provisioning for every Getfly owner email match. Custom fields are created in Freshsales admin before migration begins so that imports can write directly to typed fields.

  3. Workflow audit and automation documentation

    We complete the automation inventory using the customer's completed questionnaire and any exported Getfly workflow screenshots. Each workflow is documented with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Freshsales automation equivalent. This document is delivered before production migration and serves as the rebuild guide for the customer's admin team. We do not rebuild automations inside the migration scope.

  4. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Freshsales trial or sandbox environment using production-like data volume. The customer's team reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Products in, Deals in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 records against the Getfly source, and signs off the mapping before production migration begins. Any field mapping corrections, custom field additions, or stage configuration adjustments happen here.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated against Freshsales roster), Products (for line-item resolution), Contacts and Organizations (with dedupe key enforced), Deals (with pipeline and stage resolved), Activity history (Tasks with owner resolved), Call logs (with recordings downloaded and re-uploaded), Attachments (re-uploaded from local storage), and Target Lists (from Getfly Campaigns). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and handoff

    We freeze Getfly writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then mark Freshsales as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document and a post-migration data validation report. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Getfly automations as Freshsales workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.

Most Getfly migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts with fewer than 5,000 Accounts, 10,000 activity records, and no complex custom field schemas. Migrations with large product catalogs, multi-stage pipelines, call recording re-hosting, or extensive custom object schemas requiring Freshsales schema pre-creation extend to eight to twelve weeks. The automation documentation step adds one to two weeks to the timeline regardless of data volume.
