Overview
Moving from Krayin CRM to Salesforce Sales Cloud is a migration from an MIT-licensed, self-hosted Laravel application to a cloud-native SaaS platform with a global ecosystem of over 4,600 AppExchange apps. Krayin's Person object (equivalent to a Contact) attaches to a Company record; Salesforce separates the person from the organization using Contact and Account. We sequence the migration in dependency order—Users and Accounts first, then Persons and Leads, then Products and Opportunities, then Activities—so that every Salesforce Lookup field (AccountId, ContactId, OwnerId) is resolved at insert time. We pull custom attribute values from Krayin's database directly when the REST API does not expose them fully, and we deliver a written inventory of all active Krayin Workflows and automation rules for the customer's admin to rebuild in Salesforce Flow. Attachments cannot migrate because Krayin stores them on the server filesystem, not via its API; we document this gap during discovery so the customer can export files manually before cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Krayin 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.
Krayin CRM
User
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Krayin Users map to Salesforce Users by email address as the dedupe key. We export all Krayin Users via the REST API and match them against the destination Salesforce org's User table before any record migration begins, because OwnerId references on Leads, Persons, Deals, and Activities require a valid Salesforce User ID. Any Krayin User without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record migration resumes.
Krayin CRM
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Krayin Company records map directly to Salesforce Account. The Company name becomes Account Name, and any domain or website field maps to Account's Website field. Account is created first in the migration load order so that the AccountId lookup is satisfied when we import Persons and Deals. Krayin Company custom attributes (stored in the custom_attributes table when the API does not expose them fully) map to custom fields on Account__c.
Krayin CRM
Person
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Krayin Person records (Krayin's Contact equivalent) map to Salesforce Contact. Email is the primary deduplication key; we check for existing Contacts with the same email address and flag duplicates for the customer's admin to resolve before insert. The Krayin organization_id (link to Company) maps to Salesforce AccountId via a pre-computed lookup table built from the Account migration results. Krayin Person phone, address, title, and custom attribute fields map to typed Salesforce Contact fields.
Krayin CRM
Lead
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:1Krayin Lead records map to Salesforce Lead. Unlike HubSpot (which uses a unified Contact with Lifecycle Stage), Krayin separates Leads from Persons at the object level, which maps more directly to Salesforce's Lead model. We preserve the Krayin lead status value as a custom field krayin_lead_status__c and map it to a Salesforce Lead Status value that the customer's admin configures before migration. OwnerId resolves via the User email mapping.
Krayin CRM
Product
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Product2
1:1Krayin Products map to Salesforce Product2 records. The Krayin SKU becomes Product2 ProductCode. Standard Price Book entries are created during migration so that Products are available for OpportunityLineItem creation. We also migrate product inventory levels when Krayin's inventory tracking fields are present in the source data.
Krayin CRM
Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Krayin Deal records map to Salesforce Opportunity. The Krayin pipeline and stage map to a Salesforce Record Type and Sales Process that we configure in the destination org before migration. AccountId, ContactId (via Contact roles), and OwnerId are all resolved at migration time using the pre-built lookup tables from the Account and User migration phases. Krayin's loss_reason and notes fields migrate to custom Opportunity fields.
Krayin CRM
Pipeline
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Record Type + Sales Process
lossyKrayin's multiple pipeline support maps to Salesforce Record Types on Opportunity. Each Krayin pipeline becomes a Salesforce Record Type with its own Page Layout and Sales Process. Stage names and probabilities migrate to StageName and StageProbability values within each Sales Process. The customer chooses whether to consolidate Krayin pipelines into fewer Salesforce Record Types or preserve them one-to-one.
Krayin CRM
Quote
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Quote
1:1Krayin Quotes map to Salesforce Quote (a standard object from Sales Cloud Professional). Quote PDFs are not migratable because they are generated dynamically by Krayin's templating system. We migrate line item data (Products, quantities, prices, discounts) as QuoteLineItem records linked to the Quote. The Quote is attached to the corresponding Opportunity via the OpportunityId lookup.
Krayin CRM
Activity (Call, Meeting, Task)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task + Event
1:1Krayin Activity records (tasks, calls, meetings) attached to Leads and Deals map to Salesforce Task and Event objects. Call activities become Task with TaskSubtype = Call; meetings become Event with StartDateTime and EndDateTime preserved; tasks migrate as Task with Status, Priority, and ActivityDate. The WhoId links to the resolved Lead or Contact; the WhatId links to the resolved Opportunity or Account. Activity timestamps are preserved as ActivityDate for timeline ordering.
Krayin CRM
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Topic or Multi-Select Picklist
lossyKrayin tag assignments stored as string arrays on Persons, Companies, and Deals migrate to Salesforce either as Topics with TopicAssignment records (for cross-object tagging) or as multi-select picklist values on the respective object (for object-scoped tags). The customer chooses the tagging strategy during scoping. Tags with no equivalent in Salesforce are flagged in the migration report for the admin to review.
Krayin CRM
Custom Attribute
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field
lossyKrayin's custom attribute system allows user-defined fields on standard objects. We export custom attribute definitions and values via direct database query to the custom_attributes table when the REST API returns incomplete field data (a known Krayin limitation for some field types). Custom attributes become Salesforce custom fields on the corresponding object (Contact, Account, Lead, Opportunity). Field type mapping follows: Krayin dropdown and multi-select map to Salesforce picklist and multi-select picklist; date fields map to Date; text fields map to Text or Long Text Area.
Krayin CRM
Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument (manual)
1:1Krayin stores file attachments on the server filesystem, not as structured objects accessible via the REST API. We cannot retrieve or migrate attachments programmatically. During discovery, we flag this gap and instruct the customer to export files manually from the Krayin storage directory before cutover. Post-migration, the customer re-uploads files to Salesforce Files. We provide a manifest of all attachment file paths and the associated Krayin record ID so the customer can re-associate files manually.

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source Krayin CRM instance via its REST API, extracting record counts for Leads, Persons, Companies, Deals, Activities, Products, Quotes, and Tags. We identify custom attribute schemas (and flag any requiring database extraction), active workflow definitions (for documentation, not migration), attachment file paths from the storage directory manifest, and any custom modules installed from Webkul. We also confirm the destination Salesforce edition (Professional at $75/user or Enterprise at $165/user) and confirm the presence of Service Cloud if Cases are in scope.
Schema design and Salesforce configuration
We design the destination Salesforce schema in a Sandbox org before production migration. This includes provisioning custom fields on Account, Contact, Lead, and Opportunity (matching Krayin custom attribute names and types), creating Record Types and Sales Processes for each Krayin pipeline, configuring Salesforce Users (or receiving the User provisioning list from the customer's admin), and disabling or extending validation rules that would block import. Schema is deployed to Sandbox first for the customer's RevOps lead to validate before production.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full test migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volumes. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Krayin source (name accuracy, custom attribute values, activity timestamps, pipeline stage assignments), and approves the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections happen in Sandbox, not in production. This phase typically takes one to two weeks depending on customer availability.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Krayin User referenced on any record and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Owners without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original Krayin user is still active). Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references on Leads, Contacts, Opportunities, and Activities require a valid Salesforce User ID.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Krayin Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved via lookup table), Leads (with OwnerId resolved), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), Products and Pricebook entries, Quote line items, Activity history (Tasks and Events via Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with parent-record WhoId and WhatId lookup resolution), Custom Objects (if any), and Custom Attributes (via database query fallback where API returns incomplete data). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze writes to Krayin during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver the Krayin Workflow inventory document (trigger, conditions, actions, recommended Salesforce Flow equivalent) to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Krayin Workflows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task. We provide the attachment file manifest so the customer can re-upload files to Salesforce Files manually.
