Overview
Moving from iPresso to Freshsales is a platform-type migration as much as a data migration. iPresso is a multi-channel marketing automation and CDP platform where Contacts and Companies layer behavioral event data across Email, SMS, Web Push, and Print campaigns. Freshsales is a sales-focused CRM with AI-powered lead scoring, built-in phone and email, and a structured Deals pipeline. The fundamental shift is from marketing-centric contact records with rich behavioral attribution toward sales-centric records organized around Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities with AI insights. We extract iPresso data through direct coordination since no public API exists, map behavioral event history to Freshsales custom fields, and deliver a written workflow and campaign rebuild plan because neither platform's automation logic transfers as code. Pricing shifts from opaque sales-only engagement at iPresso to transparent per-user tiers at Freshsales starting at $9 per user per month on the Growth plan.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a iPresso 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.
iPresso
Contact
Freshsales
Contact
1:1iPresso Contact records map to Freshsales Contact. The HubSpot-analogous lifecycle stage in iPresso (if used) migrates to a custom picklist field lifecycle_stage__c on Contact for audit continuity. Behavioral event counts (opens, clicks, form submissions) migrate as numeric custom fields so the sales team retains visibility into contact engagement history without requiring a marketing automation platform to access the data.
iPresso
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1iPresso Company records map directly to Freshsales Account. Company name becomes the Account Name field. Industry classification, annual revenue, and employee count from iPresso custom fields map to Freshsales standard fields or custom equivalents. Account is created before any Contact import so that the Account Lookup is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert.
iPresso
Campaign
Freshsales
Deal
1:manyiPresso marketing campaigns with revenue attribution or pipeline associations map to Freshsales Deals. Multi-channel campaign structures (Email, SMS, Web Push) do not have a direct Freshsales equivalent because Freshsales does not manage outbound marketing campaigns as structured objects. We extract campaign name, target audience size, and any associated revenue data as Deal records with a custom campaign_name__c field for reference. Full campaign rebuild documentation is delivered separately.
iPresso
Tag
Freshsales
Tag
1:1Contact segmentation tags migrate directly as Freshsales Tags. Tag names and memberships transfer as straightforward label associations without complex transformation. Tags used for behavioral segmentation (e.g., campaign_id tags) migrate as Tags and additionally as a custom multi-select picklist field behavioral_segments__c on Contact.
iPresso
Workflow
Freshsales
Workflow (manual rebuild)
lossyiPresso multi-step automation sequences do not migrate to Freshsales as code. Workflows reference contacts, tags, channels, and custom fields by internal identifiers that change at migration. We deliver a written inventory of every active iPresso workflow with its trigger conditions, action steps, time delays, and channel assignments, plus recommended Freshsales Workflow equivalents. The customer's admin rebuilds them post-migration.
iPresso
Custom Field (Contact)
Freshsales
Custom Field (Contact)
lossyiPresso custom contact properties (beyond standard name, email, phone) require explicit mapping to Freshsales custom fields. We define field types during scoping (text, number, date, picklist, multi-select, checkbox) and pre-create the schema in Freshsales before any data import. Field validation rules and picklist values transfer to maintain data integrity.
iPresso
Custom Field (Company)
Freshsales
Custom Field (Account)
lossyiPresso custom company properties map to Freshsales Account custom fields. Industry-specific configurations from iPresso Enterprise (FMCG, Finance, Travel, Education verticals) map to custom fields appropriate for the customer's business context.
iPresso
Email Template
Freshsales
Email Template
1:1iPresso email creative assets with HTML content migrate to Freshsales Email Templates. Dynamic personalization tokens referencing iPresso contact properties require field reference updates to point to Freshsales Contact fields. Static HTML content transfers without modification.
iPresso
Channel Configuration
Freshsales
Email, Phone, Chat (configuration)
lossyiPresso channel configurations (sender settings, SMS provider credentials, Web Push credentials) do not transfer between platforms because they are platform-specific integrations. We document the channel configuration settings (sender domains, SMS sender IDs, Web Push service accounts) so the customer's admin can reconfigure them in Freshsales or the appropriate Freshsales Suite channel product.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
iPresso gotchas
No public API documentation or migration tooling
Workflow dependencies can be silently broken at migration cutover
SMS channel and advanced features may be gated by plan tier
Pricing is not published, complicating budget planning
Freshsales gotchas
Freddy AI is Pro-tier only despite heavy marketing
Post-migration emails and sequences are disabled
Bot session credits are a one-time 500-session allocation
Phone credits charged per minute with no cap
File storage limits scale with plan tier
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data availability assessment
We audit the iPresso account to establish what data exists and how accessible it is. Because iPresso has no public API, we determine the extraction path during scoping: direct data dump coordination with iPresso support, structured CSV export (if available in the customer's tier), or manual extraction methods. We catalog Contacts, Companies, Tags, Campaigns, Custom Fields, Email Templates, and Workflows. We also identify which contacts and campaigns used gated features (SMS, Web Push, Enterprise-specific industry configurations) so the customer understands what will and will not transfer directly.
Freshsales schema design
We design the destination schema in Freshsales based on the iPresso data inventory. This includes provisioning custom fields on Contact and Account (matching iPresso custom property names and types), configuring Tags, setting up the Deals pipeline if campaign revenue data exists, and designing the custom fields that will hold behavioral event summary data. We recommend the appropriate Freshsales plan tier (Growth at $9/user or Pro at $39/user) based on the automation and reporting requirements identified in discovery.
Data extraction and transformation
We coordinate with iPresso to extract the data using the path determined in discovery. We transform the extracted records into Freshsales-compatible CSV format, map field names to Freshsales standard and custom fields, resolve tag memberships, and extract behavioral event summary data into custom fields on each Contact record. We clean records with missing required fields (email, name) before import and flag duplicates for the customer to resolve.
Test migration and reconciliation
We run a test migration into a Freshsales demo or trial account using representative sample data. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks mapped fields against the iPresso source, and reviews how behavioral event data appears on Contact records in Freshsales. Any mapping corrections (field name mismatches, missing picklist values, incorrectly assigned tags) happen at this stage before production migration begins.
Production migration
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from iPresso Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Tags (associated with the correct Contact records), Deals (from campaign revenue data if applicable), Custom Field data (populated on the correct records), and Email Templates (with personalization tokens updated to Freshsales field references). Each phase emits a reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Workflow inventory delivery and cutover
We deliver the written workflow inventory documenting every active iPresso automation with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Freshsales Workflow equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild iPresso workflows as Freshsales workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task. The customer configures Freshsales email sender domains, phone integration, and any SMS or chat channels (via Freshsales Suite or third-party integrations) post-migration.
