Overview
Krayin CRM and Freshsales share a sales-object vocabulary—Contacts, Accounts, Deals—but the underlying data models differ in ways that drive migration complexity. Krayin has no distinct Lead object; Persons serve as both early-stage prospects and qualified contacts. Freshsales separates Leads (unqualified, early-stage) from Contacts (qualified, attached to Accounts). We resolve this during scoping by mapping Persons with no associated Deal to Freshsales Leads, and Persons with an active Deal to Contact records with a resolved AccountId. Krayin's pipeline stages and tags migrate to Freshsales custom fields and multi-select picklists. Activity history (calls, meetings, tasks) lands as Tasks in Freshsales' activity timeline. Workflows and file attachments cannot migrate because Krayin exposes neither via its REST API; we document both in detail for manual rebuild post-migration. Custom attribute fields that the Krayin API does not fully expose are retrieved via direct database query against the self-hosted instance's custom_attributes table during the discovery phase.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Krayin CRM 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.
Krayin CRM
Person
Freshsales
Lead or Contact (split based on Deal association)
1:manyKrayin's Persons object serves as both early-stage and qualified contacts. We split on Deal association: Persons linked to a Deal (via the Persons_to_organization relationship table) become Freshsales Contacts with a resolved AccountId. Persons with no Deal association become Freshsales Leads. Email is the primary deduplication key on both paths. We preserve Krayin's person stage and lifecycle properties in Freshsales custom fields (krayin_lifecycle_stage__c, krayin_person_type__c) for audit. This split must be designed during scoping because Freshsales converts Leads to Contacts attached to Accounts at a later point in the sales process.
Krayin CRM
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1Krayin Companies map directly to Freshsales Accounts. The company name, domain, address fields, phone, and website map to Freshsales Account fields. Account is inserted first in the load order so that AccountId can be resolved at Person-to-Contact insert time. Parent-child company hierarchies in Krayin map to Freshsales Parent Account lookup.
Krayin CRM
Lead
Freshsales
Lead
1:1Krayin's Lead object (distinct from Persons in Krayin's data model) maps to Freshsales Lead. We import via Krayin's REST API using the /leads endpoint, mapping lead source, status, and custom attribute fields. Freshsales Lead custom field mapping during conversion is configured in Admin Settings so that lead field data transfers to the corresponding Contact, Account, and Deal fields on conversion. Krayin lead scores map to Freshsales custom lead score fields if the customer has configured scoring in Krayin.
Krayin CRM
Deal
Freshsales
Deal (Freshsales)
1:1Krayin Deals map to Freshsales Deals. The Krayin dealstage property maps to Freshsales Deal Stage, and the Krayin pipeline assignment maps to a Freshsales Deal pipeline that we configure before migration. Closed-Won and Closed-Lost reasons from Krayin custom fields migrate to Freshsales custom deal fields. The owning Person and Company are resolved to Freshsales ContactId and AccountId at migration time using the lookup table joins.
Krayin CRM
Pipeline
Freshsales
Deal Pipeline
lossyKrayin's multi-pipeline support maps to Freshsales Deal pipelines. We create Freshsales Deal pipelines during schema setup, with stage names and probabilities translated from Krayin's pipeline configuration. Each Freshsales Deal pipeline is assigned a deal type (newbusiness, renewal, upsell) to distinguish lines of business.
Krayin CRM
Product
Freshsales
Product
1:1Krayin Products map to Freshsales Products. SKU, name, price, and inventory attributes migrate directly. Krayin's Data Transfer package supports product CSV export, which we transform into Freshsales Product records via the API. Products are imported before Deals so that Deal line items can reference valid ProductIds.
Krayin CRM
Activity: Task
Freshsales
Task
1:1Krayin Activities of type Task migrate to Freshsales Task records. Subject, description, due date, status, and priority map directly. Owner resolution uses the Krayin user-to-Freshsales User email lookup. Task activity timestamps are preserved as ActivityDate to maintain the timeline order in Freshsales.
Krayin CRM
Activity: Call
Freshsales
Task (TaskSubtype = Call)
1:1Krayin call activities migrate to Freshsales Task with TaskSubtype=Call. Call duration, disposition notes, and phone number from Krayin custom activity fields map to Freshsales Task custom fields. We preserve the original call timestamp as ActivityDate.
Krayin CRM
Activity: Meeting
Freshsales
Task (with meeting flag)
1:1Krayin meeting activities migrate to Freshsales Task records with a custom meeting flag field. Meeting title, description, scheduled date and time, location, and attendees (person names) transfer. Attendee linking to Freshsales Contact or Lead records is handled via a custom text field holding the person's name, with the customer's admin reconciling attendee resolution post-migration.
Krayin CRM
User
Freshsales
User (Owner)
1:1Krayin Users map to Freshsales User records as Deal and Contact owners. We match on email address as the primary key. Any Krayin User without a matching Freshsales User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Role and permission sets require manual reconfiguration in Freshsales because Krayin role data is not fully exposed via API.
Krayin CRM
Tag
Freshsales
Multi-Select Picklist or Custom Tag field
lossyKrayin tags on Persons, Companies, and Deals are extracted as string arrays and mapped to Freshsales custom multi-select picklist fields. During scoping, the customer chooses whether tags become a single unified field per object or split into multiple picklists by tag category. Tags with no equivalent in Freshsales are flagged and optionally dropped.

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source Krayin instance across record counts (Persons, Companies, Leads, Deals, Activities, Products), active workflows, custom attribute definitions, pipeline and stage configurations, user roster, and tag taxonomy. For self-hosted instances, we request read-only database credentials to validate API completeness against the custom_attributes table. The discovery output is a written migration scope document that lists every object, field, and pipeline stage to be migrated, identifies the attachment gap, and recommends the Freshsales tier (Sprout, Blossom, Garden, or Estate) based on feature requirements.
Freshsales schema configuration and sandbox setup
We configure the destination Freshsales org: custom fields on Lead, Contact, Account, and Deal matching the Krayin attribute schema; Deal pipelines with stage names and probabilities translated from Krayin pipelines; conversion field mappings from Lead custom fields to Contact, Account, and Deal fields; multi-select picklists for tag migration. This is deployed into a Freshsales sandbox or trial org first for validation. We also provision Freshsales Users for every active Krayin User and match by email.
Test migration and reconciliation
We run a full test migration into the Freshsales sandbox using production data volumes. The customer reconciles record counts (Persons in, Leads and Contacts in, Accounts in, Deals in, Activities in), spot-checks 20-30 records against Krayin source data, and reviews the attachment gap report. Mapping corrections and schema adjustments happen here before any production data moves. This phase typically runs over three to five business days.
Record migration in dependency order
We execute production migration in relational order: Accounts (from Krayin Companies), then Users validated and matched, then Leads and Contacts (with the Deal-association split applied), then Deals with AccountId and OwnerId resolved, then Products, then Activity history via Freshsales bulk API with rate-limit-aware chunking. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Tags migrate as multi-select picklists in a final pass after all parent records are inserted.
Cutover, delta sync, and handoff
We freeze writes to Krayin during cutover, run a delta migration for any records modified during the test-to-production window, then mark Freshsales as the system of record. We deliver the workflow inventory document (for manual rebuild in Freshsales) and the attachment gap report (for manual file re-upload). We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Krayin workflows as Freshsales workflows inside the migration scope.
