Migrate from HaystackCRM to Salesforce Sales Cloud

HaystackCRM Contacts map directly to Salesforce Contact. We extract via Haystack's Excel export, map name, email, phone, and address fields 1:1, and ingest via Salesforce Bulk API. Parent Account linkage is resolved by cross-referencing the Haystack Company ID in the exported CSV. Any Haystack contact with a linked Company gets AccountId set during import; solo contacts without a Company parent are imported as standalone Contacts and flagged for the customer's admin to associate with an Account post-migration.

HaystackCRM Company records map to Salesforce Account. We export Companies first (before Contacts) to establish the AccountId lookup chain. Company name becomes Account Name; the domain or website field maps to Account Website if present. Account is imported before Contact so that the lookup relationship is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert.

HaystackCRM Opportunities carry dollar value, multi-stage pipeline stage, status, and temperature priority. These map to Salesforce Opportunity Amount (dollar value), StageName (stage), and custom temperature fields. We pre-configure Salesforce Record Types and Sales Processes during schema design to match Haystack's stage names before migration. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won status migrate as Salesforce stage entries.

HaystackCRM uses a flat tag model — simple string labels with no hierarchy or nesting. Tags are exported per record from the Haystack Excel export. We map Haystack tags to a Salesforce multi-select picklist field on Contact, Account, or Opportunity depending on where tags were applied in Haystack. For tag-heavy datasets (hundreds of distinct tag values), we advise consolidating to the top 50-100 tags during scoping and using a custom object or label-based taxonomy in Salesforce for the remainder.

HaystackCRM Tasks linked to a Contact or Opportunity export with the parent record reference preserved. Tasks map to Salesforce Task with Subject, Status, Priority, and ActivityDate preserved. Task assignment migrates by resolving Haystack owner email to Salesforce OwnerId via the User mapping. Tasks without a resolvable parent Contact or Opportunity in Salesforce are held in a reconciliation queue.

HaystackCRM Events (calendar-bound records) export as discrete date records. We map to Salesforce Event with StartDateTime, EndDateTime, Subject, and Location preserved. Calendar sync links cannot be reconstructed in Salesforce and must be rebuilt manually post-migration by reconnecting Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar to the Salesforce Lightning sync agent.

HaystackCRM Item/Catalog records map to Salesforce Product2. Product name, SKU (if present), and pricing migrate to Product2 Name, ProductCode, and ListPrice via Standard Pricebook entries. We create the Pricebook2 record and associate PricebookEntries during the import phase before any Opportunity Line Item migration.

HaystackCRM Users are assigned as owners of Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, and Tasks. We export the full user roster by email address. In Salesforce, we match owners by email against the User table. Users without a matching Salesforce User account are placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record ownership migration proceeds.

HaystackCRM Teams allow role-based grouping and region-based contact segmentation. Salesforce uses Public Groups, Queues, and Territories for team-based access and assignment. We export Haystack team membership and roles and map them to Salesforce Public Groups (for shared record access) or Territory Models (for territory-based assignment). Role granularity differences mean that Haystack role assignments requiring fine-grained field-level access must be rebuilt using Salesforce Profiles and Permission Sets post-migration.

HaystackCRM file attachments are stored via Dropbox, iCloud, or OneDrive integration links rather than native storage. We export the attachment references and cloud storage URLs. Salesforce Files (ContentDocument) must be re-uploaded or re-linked manually; the original file content remains in the third-party cloud storage and must be re-associated by the customer post-migration. We flag this in the pre-migration scope and include it in the post-migration task checklist.

HaystackCRM Quotes generated from hot Opportunities can be exported with line item data and PDF links. We export Quote line items and metadata. PDF documents and integrated sharing links cannot be migrated as files; the customer must regenerate Quote PDFs in Salesforce after migrating the Quote record and associating it with the Opportunity. We document the Quote-to-Opportunity linkage during export to preserve the relationship.

HaystackCRM Dashboard metrics are computed dynamically from live data and do not exist as persistent records. We do not migrate dashboard snapshots. Salesforce dashboard components must be rebuilt using the migrated data once the migration is validated. We include a dashboard rebuild guide with suggested report and dashboard configurations for common Haystack dashboard views (recent adds, pipeline totals, tag-segmented views).
