Overview
Jobsite Mobile stores contacts, companies, deals, tasks, events, notes, and any custom fields your team has configured. It exposes this data through a REST API with per-endpoint rate limits, and exports standard CSV files for bulk record retrieval. Zoho CRM receives this data through its v8 REST API and bulk import endpoints, accepting standard module records plus custom fields created via the Settings > Fields interface. The migration carries every standard record type and every custom field Jobsite Mobile exposes — but automations, workflows, custom report definitions, integrations, and any Jobsite-specific business logic must be rebuilt in Zoho using Blueprint, workflow rules, or Zoho Deluge scripts after data lands. We sequence the migration so parent objects (Accounts) load before child objects (Contacts/Leads) and before Deals, preserving every lookup relationship. Owner IDs are resolved by email match against Zoho users; unmatched owners are flagged before the full run commits. After the initial batch, a delta pickup window captures any new or updated records that arrive during the cutover period, ensuring Zoho reflects the final state at go‑live.
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 Jobsite Mobile 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.
Jobsite Mobile
Contact
Zoho CRM
Lead / Contact
1:manyJobsite Mobile stores all contacts in one list. Zoho CRM separates Leads (prospects not yet qualified) from Contacts (active accounts). FlitStack routes contacts by a status flag — if no status exists, all records land as Zoho Leads by default, and your team can convert them individually.
Jobsite Mobile
Company
Zoho CRM
Account
1:1The Jobsite Mobile Company object maps 1:1 to the Zoho CRM Account module. Parent‑company relationships in Jobsite Mobile migrate as the Parent Account lookup in Zoho, provided the parent record is processed first in the migration sequence. The mapping also preserves the original company identifier and any custom fields defined on the Company object, so all attributes transfer into Zoho's Account record.
Jobsite Mobile
Deal / Project
Zoho CRM
Deal
1:1Jobsite Mobile deal or project records map to the Zoho CRM Deal module. Pipeline stages in Jobsite Mobile map to Zoho Deal Stage values. If Jobsite Mobile uses multiple named pipelines, each pipeline requires its own stage set in Zoho under the Deals module before mapping can proceed.
Jobsite Mobile
Task
Zoho CRM
Task
1:1Jobsite Mobile tasks migrate as Zoho CRM Tasks. Subject, due date, status, and priority transfer directly. Owner is resolved by email match to Zoho users. Open and completed statuses map to Zoho's Not Started, In Progress, and Completed values. If a Jobsite Mobile task references a parent contact or deal, the migration links the Zoho Task to the corresponding Zoho record using the parent lookup field, preserving activity context.
Jobsite Mobile
Event / Meeting
Zoho CRM
Event
1:1Jobsite Mobile events with start/end timestamps and attendees map to Zoho CRM Events. Recurring events export from Jobsite with all instances expanded; Zoho stores recurring events as a master event with recurrence rules. The migration converts timestamps to the target Zoho time zone, and any attendee email addresses are added to the Zoho Event's invitee list to preserve the original meeting roster.
Jobsite Mobile
Note
Zoho CRM
Notes
1:1Jobsite Mobile notes migrate to Zoho CRM Notes attached to the corresponding parent record (Account, Lead, Contact, or Deal). Rich-text formatting is preserved as HTML where Jobsite Mobile supports it; plain-text notes import without transformation. If a note includes an @mention of a user or a tag, the migration retains the mention text so your team can re‑link it manually in Zoho.
Jobsite Mobile
Call Log / Email Activity
Zoho CRM
Task
1:1Jobsite Mobile call logs with duration, outcome, and timestamp become Zoho Tasks with Type = Call. Email activity records migrate as Tasks with Type = Email. If Jobsite Mobile stores email body content, it transfers to the Task description field in Zoho.
Jobsite Mobile
User / Owner
Zoho CRM
User (by email match)
1:1Jobsite Mobile owner IDs have no Zoho equivalent — they are platform-specific integers. FlitStack resolves each owner by matching the email address stored on the source record to an active Zoho user. Unmatched owners are assigned to a designated fallback Zoho user and flagged for review before the migration commits.
Jobsite Mobile
Custom Object (any name)
Zoho CRM
Custom Module
1:1Jobsite Mobile custom objects migrate as Zoho CRM Custom Modules. The source custom object's API name is preserved as the Zoho module's API name. Custom module records, their fields, and relationships to standard modules transfer. N:N relationships require a linking module creation in Zoho before the migration runs.
Jobsite Mobile
Attachment / File
Zoho CRM
Attachments
1:1Jobsite Mobile file attachments re-upload to Zoho CRM as record attachments. The attachment is linked to the same parent record type it was attached to in Jobsite Mobile. File size is validated against the target Zoho plan's limit (10 MB Free, 50 MB Professional+); oversized files are flagged for manual handling.
Jobsite Mobile
Subform / Line Item
Zoho CRM
Subform (in Deals / Quotes)
1:1Jobsite Mobile subforms or line-item structures within deals map to Zoho Deal subforms. Each row of the subform becomes a subform entry in Zoho, linked to the parent Deal record. Field types (currency, date, lookup) are matched to their Zoho equivalents during the field-mapping phase.
Jobsite Mobile
Workflow / Automation
Zoho CRM
Not migratable
1:1Jobsite Mobile workflows, automations, and approval rules do not transfer to Zoho CRM. FlitStack documents your existing automation definitions in a rebuild reference document so your Zoho admin can recreate them using Blueprint, workflow rules, or Deluge scripts in Zoho.

Jobsite Mobile gotchas
No documented public API for bulk data export
Per-user licensing inflates cost for large or seasonal crews
Custom fields limited to 100 per Work Order object
Historical Work Orders become read-only after 90 days
Zoho CRM gotchas
API access requires Professional tier or above
Subform fields do not export cleanly via CSV
API credit consumption is non-linear
Export download links expire in 7 days
Owner (User) assignments require pre-mapped user IDs
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Schema discovery and source audit
FlitStack connects to the Jobsite Mobile API using your account credentials and pulls a complete schema inventory — all standard objects, custom objects, field names, field types, pick-list values, and relationship links. We cross-reference this against the Zoho CRM modules and fields available on your target plan. The output is a migration plan document specifying which objects will migrate, which custom fields need to be pre-created in Zoho, and which source objects have no Zoho equivalent (flagged as rebuild items). Your team approves this plan before any data movement begins.
Zoho CRM pre-setup and custom field creation
Before records are imported, your Zoho CRM instance needs the target fields in place. FlitStack creates every custom field identified in the schema audit using the Zoho CRM v8 Fields API, matching data types precisely. For multi-select pick-lists, we pre-populate the pick-list options from the Jobsite Mobile source values so no data is truncated on import. If your Jobsite Mobile setup uses subforms within Deals, we create the corresponding subform structure in Zoho. This step runs in a staging pass so the Zoho schema is ready before the first data batch arrives.
Test migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first, spanning contacts, accounts, deals, tasks, and any active custom modules. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against the destination Zoho records, field by field. You review the diff to confirm that pick-list value mappings are correct, owner resolution found matches, date fields landed in the right format, and custom field content is intact. Any mapping errors are corrected in the migration plan before the full run commits.
Full migration with delta pickup window
The full migration runs in sequenced batches — Accounts first, then Leads and Contacts, then Deals, then Tasks, Events, Notes, and finally custom module records. This order preserves every lookup relationship in Zoho. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) runs after the initial batch, capturing any records created or modified in Jobsite Mobile during the cutover period so Zoho reflects the final state at go-live. FlitStack's audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails.
