Overview
Klipy CRM is an email-first platform where Contacts are auto-created from Gmail and Microsoft email history and Deals are drafted from conversation threads. Salesforce Sales Cloud uses a formal Account-Contact-Opportunity hierarchy with separate Lead and Contact objects, unlimited pipeline customization, and an API surface with well-documented rate limits. The core migration challenge is bridging Klipy's loosely structured, auto-generated contact and deal records against Salesforce's relational schema, which requires parent-record sequencing (Account before Contact before Opportunity), email-based deduplication, and explicit pipeline stage mapping since Klipy's stages are fixed and cannot be renamed. We use Salesforce's Bulk API 2.0 for large record sets, apply domain normalization to auto-imported Companies, and flag any Klipy custom fields discovered during scoping. Workflows and sequences are not migrated because Klipy does not natively send email and therefore has no sending-log schema; we deliver a written automation inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Salesforce Flow.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Klipy CRM object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Klipy CRM
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead or Contact (split by qualification)
1:manyKlipy Contacts are auto-created from email threads with name, email address, and linked Company. We apply email-based deduplication during extraction, normalizing display names to FirstName/LastName splits and flagging records where the same email appears with conflicting names. Qualified contacts (those linked to an active Deal or a named Company) map to Salesforce Contact attached to an Account. Unqualified contacts with no deal history map to Salesforce Lead. The original Klipy contact creation date and any AI follow-up context migrate as custom fields for audit.
Klipy CRM
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Klipy Companies are linked to Contacts via company name or domain matching from email auto-import. We normalize company domains (stripping mail., smtp., or mailtrap. subdomains) to the Website field on Salesforce Account and use domain as the dedupe key during import. Account is created before Contact import so that the AccountId lookup is resolved at the moment of Contact insert. Where Klipy records a company without a domain, we use the company name as Account Name with a manual review flag.
Klipy CRM
Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Klipy Deals are created from email threads and linked to a Contact and Company. We map deal name to Opportunity Name, deal value to Amount, and deal creation date to CloseDate. The Contact-to-ContactId lookup resolves after Contact import. Deal stage maps to Salesforce StageName using Klipy's fixed stage set verbatim since no stage customization exists in Klipy. If the destination Salesforce org has fewer stages than Klipy, we collapse using a customer-approved stage mapping table created during scoping.
Klipy CRM
Pipeline
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Record Type + Sales Process
lossyKlipy has one default pipeline with fixed stages. We map this to a single Salesforce Record Type on Opportunity and a corresponding Sales Process. Stage probability values from Klipy migrate to Salesforce StageProbability percentages. Because Klipy's pipeline cannot be customized, there is no multi-pipeline complexity to resolve; the Salesforce destination receives one pipeline by default.
Klipy CRM
Activity (Email, Call, Meeting, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task, Event, EmailMessage
1:1Klipy Activities capture multi-channel interactions that trigger AI follow-up drafting. We map each channel to the closest Salesforce equivalent: email activities to Salesforce EmailMessage linked to Task; calls to Task with TaskSubtype=Call; calendar meetings to Event; LinkedIn/WhatsApp/Telegram interactions to Task with a custom channel field. Activity timestamps and linked Contact resolve to Salesforce WhoId during migration. Full message content migrates as the Task or EmailMessage body. Because Klipy does not send email natively, the email activity records are inbound captures only.
Klipy CRM
AI Follow-Up Draft
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note
1:1Klipy's AI-generated follow-up drafts after each conversation are stored as Notes in Klipy with a reference to the linked Contact or Deal. We migrate these as Salesforce Note records with a custom field ai_draft__c set to true, preserving the draft content and timestamp. The Note is linked to the parent Contact or Opportunity via ContentDocumentLink. This metadata is important for teams that want to review AI draft history in Salesforce even though Salesforce does not natively generate these drafts.
Klipy CRM
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Multi-Select Picklist or Campaign
lossyKlipy Tags label Contacts and Deals for segmentation. Tags used for contact categorization migrate to a Salesforce multi-select picklist on Contact. Tags used for deal categorization migrate to a multi-select picklist on Opportunity. The customer chooses the target field during scoping. If the destination already uses Salesforce Topics for content classification, we offer Topic mapping as an alternative.
Klipy CRM
Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument + ContentVersion
1:1Files attached to Deals or Activities in Klipy migrate as Salesforce ContentDocument records via ContentVersion binary transfer. We verify file integrity with a hash comparison post-upload and flag any files that exceed the 25 MB Salesforce attachment limit. The ContentDocumentLink ties the file to the parent Contact, Account, or Opportunity.
Klipy CRM
Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Klipy Owner records (the user assigned to a Contact, Deal, or Activity) map to Salesforce User by email match. Any Owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before the production migration phase begins. OwnerId is a required field on most Salesforce standard objects, so this step gates the record import.
Klipy CRM
Custom Fields
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields
1:1Klipy supports custom fields on Contacts and Deals but the full schema is not publicly documented. During the scoping scan, we probe the Klipy export for any non-standard field names and map them to Salesforce custom fields (__c suffix) of the closest matching type. Field type transformation (date formats, picklist values, boolean flags) is applied during the staging transform. Custom field schema is deployed to Salesforce Sandbox before data migration runs.
Klipy CRM
Pipelines
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Sales Processes
lossyKlipy's Pipeline Stages cannot be configured, renamed, or added. We map each Klipy stage name directly to a Salesforce Opportunity StageName value. Stage order is preserved. If the destination Salesforce org requires a probability percentage per stage, we use a customer-approved probability mapping created during scoping. No stage configurations on the Klipy side need to be preserved because there is nothing to configure.
Klipy CRM
Engagement: Call Log
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task (TaskSubtype = Call)
1:1Klipy call logs capture duration and disposition for calls made through its integration layer. We migrate these to Salesforce Task with TaskSubtype=Call. Call duration migrates to CallDurationInSeconds. Disposition text migrates to a custom Call_Disposition__c field. Activity timeline ordering is preserved by setting ActivityDate to the original Klipy timestamp.

Migration approach
Discovery and API surface assessment
We audit the Klipy account for record counts (Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, Notes, Attachments, Tags), assess the available export mechanism (API, CSV, manual), and probe for any undocumented custom fields. We simultaneously review the target Salesforce org for existing schema, Active Users, Record Types, and any installed packages. The discovery output is a written migration scope that confirms the extraction method, flags any Klipy API unknowns, and recommends a Salesforce edition if the customer does not already have an org. If the only extraction path is CSV/manual, we plan a staged export workflow with customer involvement for data download.
Data extraction and staging
We extract data from Klipy using the confirmed mechanism. If an API path is confirmed, we build a read-only connector and pull records in batches. If extraction is CSV/manual, we provide the customer with a structured export template, guide them through the download steps, and validate the CSV headers against our expected field map. In staging, we apply email-based deduplication to Contacts, normalize Company domains, split Deals into stages using the fixed stage set, and parse AI follow-up drafts into a Notes-ready format. The staging environment is a private S3 or Azure Blob with access logging and encryption at rest.
Salesforce schema preparation
We design the destination schema in Salesforce: custom objects (__c API names), custom fields (typed to match Klipy data), Record Types (one per pipeline, even if Klipy has only one), Sales Processes (stage whitelist), and Page Layouts. We deploy the schema to a Salesforce Sandbox first for validation. If Klipy custom fields were discovered during the API scan, we pre-create their Salesforce equivalents with a klipy_ prefix for clear lineage. Field-level security, validation rules, and required-field constraints are documented for the customer to relax during the data load window.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Klipy Owner referenced on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities and match by email against the destination Salesforce org's User table. Owners without a matching Salesforce User are listed with their role in Klipy and sent to the customer's admin for provisioning. This step gates record import because OwnerId is required on most standard Salesforce objects. We do not create Salesforce Users on behalf of the customer.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration into the live Salesforce org using Bulk API 2.0 for large record sets, with batch chunking, exponential backoff on rate limit responses, and parent-record lookup resolution. The sequence: Accounts (from Klipy Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Leads (unqualified contacts), Opportunities (with AccountId, ContactId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), Notes (AI drafts and manual notes), Activities (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages via Bulk API), Attachments (ContentVersion), and Custom Fields (last, after parent relationships are confirmed). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation handoff
We freeze writes to Klipy during cutover and run a final delta migration for any records modified during the migration window. We perform a reconciliation pass comparing Klipy record counts against Salesforce record counts for each object, and spot-check 25-50 records for field-level accuracy. We deliver the automation and sequence inventory document to the customer's admin team with a written map of every Klipy Activity type and its recommended Salesforce Flow equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window. We do not rebuild automations or sequences inside the migration scope.
