Overview
Moving from Getfly CRM to Zoho CRM is a platform migration with a fundamental schema reorganization. Getfly collapses Accounts and Contacts into a single object, while Zoho separates them into Contacts linked to Accounts. We resolve that split during scoping using Getfly's contact-company relationship data, preserve the original Getfly Account ID in a custom Zoho field for cross-reference, and map pipeline stages to Zoho Deal Status values configured before migration begins. Activity records including call logs and meeting history migrate to Zoho Tasks and Events via the Zoho CRM API. Getfly's workflow automations do not export; we deliver a written inventory of every automation rule for your Zoho admin to rebuild using Blueprint or workflow rules post-migration. Custom fields on Products and Accounts require explicit type mapping because Getfly exposes no public field schema endpoint. We flag all discovered custom fields during the export audit and generate compatible Zoho field definitions before import.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Getfly CRM object lands in Zoho CRM, 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 (Customer)
Zoho CRM
Contact and Account
1:manyGetfly's Account object holds both organization-level data (company name, address, industry) and individual contact data (contact name, phone, email) in a single record. We split each Getfly Account into a Zoho Account (Company module) for the organization and a Zoho Contact for the primary individual. Any secondary contacts stored in Getfly as additional field entries become separate Zoho Contact records linked to the same Account. The original Getfly Account ID is preserved in a custom Zoho text field getfly_account_id__c for cross-reference during the parallel-run period.
Getfly CRM
Product
Zoho CRM
Products
1:1Getfly Products map directly to Zoho Products with SKU, unit price, and product details preserved. Getfly's detail_custom_fields nested object maps to custom fields on the Zoho Product record, which we pre-create before migration based on the field audit from Getfly's admin panel. Product code (SKU) becomes the Zoho Product Code field and is used as the deduplication key during import.
Getfly CRM
Pipeline Stage
Zoho CRM
Deals (Potentials) with custom Status picklist
lossyGetfly's configurable pipeline stages are customer-specific in name and order. We extract the full stage configuration during the discovery audit, then create a Zoho custom Status picklist with each Getfly stage name mapped to an equivalent Zoho Status value. Stage order and any probability or forecast flags in Getfly become custom numeric fields on the Zoho Deal.
Getfly CRM
Deal
Zoho CRM
Deals (Potentials)
1:1Getfly Deal records map to Zoho Potentials (commonly called Deals). Each Deal is linked to the Zoho Account resolved from the Account split in step 1. Deal amount, close date, owner (resolved via email lookup to Zoho Users), and stage (mapped via the Status picklist from step 3) transfer directly. If Getfly stores deal-to-product associations, those map to Zoho Potential Products during import.
Getfly CRM
Activity (Task/Call/Meeting)
Zoho CRM
Tasks and Events
1:1Getfly Activity records include type, date, duration, owner assignment, and linked account. Activity type determines the Zoho target: tasks become Zoho Tasks, meetings become Zoho Events with Start DateTime and End DateTime preserved. The linked Getfly Account resolves to the Zoho Account-Contact pair from step 1, and the owner resolves via email-based lookup to Zoho Users. Duration and disposition data transfer to Zoho custom fields if not natively supported.
Getfly CRM
PABX Call Log
Zoho CRM
Task (Call type)
1:1Getfly PABX call records include call direction, duration, and recording URL. Call logs migrate as Zoho Tasks with a Call disposition custom field. Recording URLs are time-limited or signed links returned by Getfly's API, so we download all recording audio files at export time and re-upload to Zoho's file storage, attaching the re-hosted recording to the corresponding Task. If Zoho's telephony integration is configured post-migration, call recording continuity is preserved without broken links.
Getfly CRM
User/Owner
Zoho CRM
User
1:1Getfly Users acting as record owners are resolved by email match against Zoho Users. We export the full Getfly user roster during scoping and match each hubspot_owner_id-equivalent to a Zoho User by email address. Any Getfly owner without a matching Zoho User account goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before Deal and Activity imports begin.
Getfly CRM
Attachment
Zoho CRM
Attachments (Files)
1:1Attachments associated with Getfly Accounts, Products, or Deals are referenced by URL in the API. We download files to local storage during export, preserving original filenames and mime types, then re-upload to Zoho's file attachment system using the Zoho Files API. Each file is linked to the target record (Account, Contact, Product, or Deal) via the Zoho attachment endpoint after the parent record has been created.
Getfly CRM
Campaign
Zoho CRM
Campaigns
1:1Getfly Marketing campaigns track name, start and end dates, and linked Accounts. Campaign membership (which Accounts were contacted) migrates as Zoho Campaign Members linked to the Zoho Campaign record. We preserve campaign status (Active, Completed, Planned) as Zoho Campaign Status. Any campaign-level notes or custom fields migrate to Zoho Campaign custom fields pre-created during schema setup.
Getfly CRM
Custom Field (Accounts/Products)
Zoho CRM
Custom Fields on Contacts, Accounts, Products, Deals
lossyGetfly supports custom fields on Accounts and Products but exposes no public schema registry endpoint. We discover custom fields by sampling Product and Account records during the export audit, then generate Zoho field definitions matching the discovered types (text, number, date, picklist). We instruct customers to run a full field audit report from Getfly's admin panel before migration kickoff to catch rarely-used fields that sampling might miss. Custom field mapping is validated in the sandbox migration before production cutover.
Getfly CRM
Workflow Automation
Zoho CRM
Workflow Rules / Blueprint
1:1Getfly workflow rules are internal platform configuration with no public export endpoint. We do not migrate automations as code. During scoping, we provide a workflow audit questionnaire that the customer completes to document every active Getfly automation (trigger, conditions, actions, and affected records). We deliver this as a written inventory document with each automation mapped to an equivalent Zoho Workflow Rule or Blueprint step, which the customer's Zoho admin or a Zoho partner rebuilds post-migration. This is a separate engagement from the data migration.

Owner (User) assignments require pre-mapped user IDs
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping call
We audit the source Getfly CRM account via API: we enumerate Accounts, Products, pipeline stage names, activity types, user roster, and any campaign records. We request the X-API-KEY scoped to the customer's subdomain during this call. We send the workflow audit questionnaire to the customer's Getfly admin to document all active automations before migration begins. We also request that the customer run a full field audit report from Getfly's admin panel covering Products and Accounts to surface any rarely-used custom fields that API sampling might miss.
Schema design and Zoho sandbox setup
We design the destination schema in Zoho CRM based on the Getfly audit. This includes creating Zoho Accounts (Companies) and Contacts with the split rule documented, pre-creating all custom fields on Contacts, Accounts, Products, and Deals with type-matched definitions, configuring the Deal Status picklist mapped to Getfly's pipeline stages, and setting up Zoho Users with email-based matching against the Getfly user roster. We deploy the schema to a Zoho Sandbox or staging org for validation before any production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and record reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Zoho staging environment using production-like data volume extracted from Getfly. The customer's admin reviews 25-50 randomly selected records from each module against the Getfly source, confirms field mapping accuracy, and validates that the Account-Contact split is correct. Any mapping corrections, missing custom fields, or stage-to-Status mapping adjustments happen at this stage. The customer signs off the sandbox validation before we schedule the production migration window.
Owner reconciliation and user provisioning
We extract every distinct Getfly User referenced on Account, Product, Deal, and Activity records and match by email against the Zoho destination org's User table. Users without a matching Zoho User account go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Zoho admin provisions any missing User accounts (active or inactive depending on whether the original Getfly user is still employed) before record import resumes. OwnerId references on Deals and Tasks require a valid Zoho User, so this step gates the Deal import.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (extracted as Organizations, then split into Zoho Account plus Contact), Products (with pre-created custom fields), Deals (with AccountId resolved and Status mapped), Activity history (Tasks and Events via Zoho CRM API), PABX call recordings (downloaded at export, re-uploaded to Zoho, and attached to Task records), Attachments (downloaded from Getfly and re-uploaded via Zoho Files API), and Campaigns (with campaign membership migrated as Zoho Campaign Members). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Getfly write access during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Zoho CRM as the system of record. We deliver the workflow automation inventory document to the customer's Zoho admin team with each Getfly rule mapped to a Zoho Workflow Rule or Blueprint equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any data reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. Post-migration Zoho Workflow rebuild, Zoho admin training, and ongoing support are outside the standard migration scope.
