Overview
Goals.com and Freshsales are both sales CRMs targeting small teams, but they differ significantly in data architecture and integration depth. Goals.com uses a flat objective structure, stores commission records as calculation outputs, and has no documented public API for programmatic export. Freshsales (Freshworks' CRM) supports a parent-account hierarchy for multi-company structures, territory assignment rules, and CSV-based import of Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Tasks, Appointments, and Notes. We handle Goals.com's manual export workflow, reconcile Goals.com pipeline stages to Freshsales pipeline stages, map Sales Goals to Freshsales custom fields, and preserve owner assignments through email-based lookup. Active sales contest configurations and commission payout rules are not transferable; we export historical performance data and deliver a contest schema template for manual rebuild in Freshsales. Workflows, automations, and notification settings do not migrate and are documented for the customer's admin to re-create post-cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Goals.com 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.
Goals.com
Lead
Freshsales
Lead
1:1Goals.com Leads map directly to Freshsales Leads. We extract lead records through Goals.com's manual export, map lead status (New, Contacted, Qualified) to Freshsales Lead Status values, and preserve the original source attribution if present. Owner lookup resolves by email match against Freshsales User records. Any Goals.com lead without a matching Freshsales user is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision the User before import resumes.
Goals.com
Deal
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Goals.com Deals map to Freshsales Deals. Deal name, value, stage, expected close date, and owner migrate 1:1. We map Goals.com stage labels (e.g., Prospecting, Proposal, Negotiation) to Freshsales pipeline stage names during scoping. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won transitions from Goals.com map to Freshsales Deal status. The deal owner resolves via email-based user lookup. Deals without a resolved owner are assigned to the migrating admin User by default and flagged for reassignment post-import.
Goals.com
Pipeline Stage
Freshsales
Pipeline Stage
lossyGoals.com pipeline stages map to Freshsales pipeline stages within a Freshsales Deal pipeline. We define the Freshsales pipeline with matching stage names and probabilities during migration setup. If Goals.com uses custom stage labels not found in Freshsales defaults, we create custom stage values in the Freshsales pipeline configuration before Deal import. Stage probability percentages migrate from Goals.com where available; otherwise we apply Freshsales defaults and adjust post-import.
Goals.com
Sales Goal
Freshsales
Custom Fields (numeric)
1:manyGoals.com Sales Goals (call volume, email count, revenue targets) do not have a direct Freshsales equivalent as native objects. We decompose each Sales Goal into numeric custom fields on the User or Deal record in Freshsales: goals_call_volume__c, goals_email_target__c, goals_revenue_target__c. Progress percentages stored in Goals.com are exported as historical values and noted as reference data for the customer's admin to re-implement via Freshsales reports or goals dashboards post-migration.
Goals.com
Commission Record
Freshsales
Custom Object or Custom Fields
1:1Goals.com commission records and payout data migrate to Freshsales as a custom Commission object with fields for rep, deal, commission_amount, payout_status, and calculation_date. If the customer's Freshsales plan does not support custom objects, we map commission data to custom fields on the Deal record (commission_rate__c, payout_status__c, paid_date__c). Commission payout rules (percentage tiers, accelerators, contest bonuses) are not transferable as logic; we export historical commission data and provide a commission_schema_template.csv for the customer's admin to model their payout rules in Freshsales reports or a linked commission tool.
Goals.com
User Account
Freshsales
User
1:1Goals.com user accounts with role assignments (manager vs rep) map to Freshsales User records. We extract all Goals.com users, match by email address against the Freshsales destination, and preserve the role assignment as a custom field (goals_original_role__c) in Freshsales. Territory assignments in Goals.com are not stored as formal records and are reconstructed in Freshsales using Freshsales territory assignment rules if the customer is on a plan that supports them.
Goals.com
Team
Freshsales
Territory or Custom Group
lossyGoals.com team structures map to Freshsales Territories (if available on the customer's plan) or to custom groups stored as a custom field (team_name__c) on the User record. We preserve team membership and hierarchy from Goals.com as a data table in the migration deliverable so the customer's admin can configure Freshsales Territories or group-based reporting after migration. Teams with territory-based quota assignments require explicit mapping during scoping.
Goals.com
Activity Tracking (Notes, Reminders, Interactions)
Freshsales
Notes, Tasks, Appointments
1:1Goals.com activity records (notes, reminders, interaction logs) migrate to Freshsales Notes, Tasks, and Appointments. Notes migrate as Freshsales Note records linked to the parent Deal or Contact. Reminders and follow-up tasks migrate as Freshsales Tasks with due dates and owner assignments preserved. Interaction logs migrate as Freshsales Appointments (meetings) with attendee data stored in the appointment record. Activity timestamps preserve the original Goals.com date for timeline continuity. Goals.com does not store a full audit trail of every system event; historical activity completeness depends on what was logged manually in Goals.com.
Goals.com
Attachment
Freshsales
Attachment (via Freshsales file upload)
1:1Goals.com file attachments associated with Deals or Leads migrate as Freshsales Attachments. We export file content from Goals.com's accessible storage, upload to Freshsales via the Freshsales API, and link each file to the corresponding Deal or Contact record. Large binary attachments (over 10 MB per file) may require separate file transfer handling and a post-migration file reorganization step. We flag any inaccessible or corrupt attachments in the migration report for the customer's admin to resolve manually.
Goals.com
Sales Contest (Historical Results)
Freshsales
Custom Report Data
1:1Goals.com historical contest results and leaderboard data export as a structured CSV (contest_name, rep_name, points, rank, period) that we import into Freshsales as a custom Contest_Results__c object or as custom fields on the User record for reporting. Active contest logic, scoring rules, and point allocation formulas do not transfer; we provide a contest_schema_template.csv and a contest_logic_rebuild_guide.md for the customer's admin to reconstruct active contests in Freshsales reports, goals dashboards, or a third-party gamification tool.

Migration approach
Goals.com data export and manual verification
We work with the customer's Goals.com account to extract all available data through the platform's manual export function. Because Goals.com has no public API, we build a custom export routine for each customer that handles Goals.com's export format and field structure. We validate record counts against the Goals.com UI (Lead count, Deal count, User count, activity totals) and flag any records that fail to export or appear incomplete. The customer reviews and signs off on the exported files before we proceed to mapping. This step typically takes one to two weeks depending on data volume and the customer's internal verification capacity.
Freshsales plan review and schema design
We review the customer's target Freshsales plan (Sprout through Forest) to confirm which features are available for the migration scope. We design the Freshsales schema: custom fields for Sales Goals and commission data, pipeline stage names matched to Goals.com, territories or team groups if applicable, and custom objects for contest results. If the customer's plan does not support custom objects, we adapt the commission and contest mapping to use custom fields on standard objects. Freshsales pipeline configuration is set up during this phase with stage names and probabilities aligned to the Goals.com source.
Owner and territory reconciliation
We extract every distinct Goals.com user referenced on Leads, Deals, Activities, and team assignments. We match each user by email address against the Freshsales destination User table. Users without a matching Freshsales User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Territory assignments from Goals.com are reconstructed as Freshsales Territories or custom group fields depending on the customer's plan tier. This step ensures that owner lookups are satisfied before Deal and Lead import begins.
Sandbox import and reconciliation
We run a test import into a Freshsales sandbox (or the production account with a test dataset) to validate the mapping, confirm record counts match the Goals.com export, and spot-check data accuracy field-by-field. We focus on Deal stage mapping, commission amount integrity, activity timeline continuity, and owner assignment accuracy. The customer's admin reviews the sandbox results, signs off on any mapping corrections, and confirms the pipeline stage configuration. Corrections happen in the sandbox, not in production. This step typically runs for three to five business days.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated through reconciliation queue), Leads, Deals (with pipeline and stage assignment resolved), Activity history (Notes, Tasks, Appointments via Freshsales import API), Attachments, Commission records (as custom object or custom fields), Contest historical results, and Sales Goal decomposition into custom fields on User/Deal records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We flag any records that fail import and log them to an error file for the customer's admin to review and resolve.
Cutover, validation, and post-migration deliverables
We freeze Goals.com write access during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Freshsales as the system of record. We deliver the contest_schema_template.csv, contest_logic_rebuild_guide.md, goals_mapping_reference.csv, and a post-migration checklist covering notification settings, territory configuration, and Freshsales admin tasks. We support a five-business-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Goals.com contest logic, notification settings, or workflow rules as part of the migration scope.
