Overview
Moving from Kursaha to Salesforce is a platform upgrade and a structural migration. Kursaha has no publicly documented REST API, so we extract data via CSV exports from the dashboard, validate field completeness during scoping, and map each export to the corresponding Salesforce standard or custom object. Salesforce's object model is significantly richer: Campaigns map to Opportunities with Record Type and Sales Process configuration, Channel associations become custom fields on the Opportunity, Audience Segments reconstruct as Campaign Members or static Lists, and Template content migrates as Notes attached to the relevant record. We do not migrate Analytics Events, Automations, or Integrations from Kursaha; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Salesforce or AppExchange. Historical timestamp preservation is handled via Bulk API for large engagement volumes.
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 Kursaha 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.
Kursaha
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead and Contact (split required)
1:manyKursaha Contacts map to Salesforce Lead for unqualified prospects and Contact for qualified buyers. We use the contact's lifecycle status, engagement score, and campaign membership to determine placement. Any Kursaha Contact with active pipeline association or closed-won campaign history maps to Salesforce Contact with a resolved AccountId reference. The original Kursaha contact ID and behavioral properties (engagement_score, last_activity_date) migrate as custom fields on both Lead and Contact for audit and reporting continuity.
Kursaha
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Kursaha Campaigns are the central object and map to Salesforce Opportunity. Campaign name becomes Opportunity Name, start and end dates map to CloseDate, campaign status maps to Opportunity StageName with a custom hs_campaign_status__c field preserving the original Kursaha status value. Channel assignments (mail, WhatsApp, SMS) migrate as multi-select picklist fields on the Opportunity so sales reps can see the original campaign channel in the CRM record.
Kursaha
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign
1:1Kursaha Campaign records also create Salesforce Campaign records to preserve marketing attribution history. Opportunity.CampaignId links the sales Opportunity to the marketing Campaign for influence reporting. Campaign member status from Kursaha (subscribed, unsubscribed, bounced) maps to Salesforce CampaignMember Status values.
Kursaha
Audience Segment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign Member or Static List
lossyKursaha Audience Segments are defined by filter rules against contact properties. We reconstruct these as Salesforce Campaign records with Campaign Members added based on the segment criteria, or as Static Lists using custom List__c objects with ListMember__c junction records. Rule complexity (nested conditions, date-based filters) is flagged during scoping because advanced segment logic may require manual recreation in Salesforce Reports and Filters rather than automated migration.
Kursaha
Channel
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Multi-Select Picklist
lossyKursaha Channels (mail, WhatsApp, SMS) are linked to Campaigns rather than stored as independent objects. We preserve channel-to-campaign associations as a custom multi-select picklist field channel_type__c on the Opportunity. Channel-specific templates migrate as Notes attached to the parent Campaign or Opportunity record with a naming convention identifying the channel (e.g., EMAIL_TEMPLATE, WHATSAPP_TEMPLATE).
Kursaha
Template
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note or EmailTemplate
1:1Kursaha templates for each channel include content and basic HTML structure. We migrate template text content and HTML as Salesforce Note records linked to the relevant Campaign or as Salesforce EmailTemplate records for mail templates. Advanced AMP markup and interactive elements do not migrate; we flag these as requiring rebuild in Salesforce using Lightning Email Templates or Marketing Cloud Content Builder. Channel assignment (mail, WhatsApp, SMS) is preserved as a Note Title prefix.
Kursaha
User Account
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Kursaha user accounts (admin, editor, viewer roles) map to Salesforce User records. We resolve users by email match against the destination Salesforce org. Any Kursaha user without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import. Role and permission sets are not migrated as code; we deliver a role mapping table for the admin to configure post-migration.
Kursaha
Contact Behavioral Property
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field on Lead or Contact
lossyKursaha stores behavioral properties on Contact records (engagement_score, lifecycle_stage, tags). We map these to custom fields on the Salesforce Lead or Contact object (e.g., engagement_score__c, kursaha_lifecycle_stage__c, tags__c as multi-select picklist). Custom field creation happens in the destination Salesforce org during schema design phase, deployed to Sandbox for validation before production migration.
Kursaha
Campaign Activity Log
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task and Event
1:1Campaign engagement activity (email sends, opens, clicks, meeting registrations) from Kursaha's activity log migrates as Salesforce Task and Event records linked to the corresponding Campaign and Contact. We use the Bulk API for large activity volumes, chunking by ContactId and setting WhoId on Task/Event to the migrated Contact record. Activity timestamp is preserved as ActivityDate on Task and StartDateTime on Event.
Kursaha
Deal (if applicable)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1If the customer has deal records in Kursaha (custom configuration or from a billing integration), these map to Salesforce Opportunity with Amount, StageName, and CloseDate preserved. Deal custom fields migrate as Opportunity custom fields created during schema design. Pipeline and deal stage mapping follows the same Record Type and Sales Process configuration as the Campaign-to-Opportunity mapping.
Kursaha
Analytics Events
Salesforce Sales Cloud
None (not migratable)
1:1Kursaha's real-time analytics and campaign performance metrics (opens, clicks, conversions, conversion rates) are generated by the platform's processing layer and are not available as discrete exportable records. We do not migrate analytics event history. The customer should capture screenshots of dashboards before cutover. Reporting is rebuilt from migrated Opportunity, Contact, and Activity data in Salesforce Reports and Einstein Analytics post-migration.
Kursaha
Integrations
Salesforce Sales Cloud
AppExchange (rebuild required)
1:1Kursaha integrations with third-party tools (forms, CRM, analytics) are configuration-level settings that do not carry over during migration. Each integration must be reconfigured independently in Salesforce. We deliver a written inventory of all detected Kursaha integrations with recommended AppExchange equivalents or Salesforce native solutions (e.g., Web-to-Lead for form capture, native CRM sync for other platforms).

Migration approach
Export capability audit and scoping call
We run a scoping call with the customer to confirm which Kursaha objects need migration and verify export availability from the dashboard. We request sample CSV exports for each object (Contacts, Campaigns, Audience Segments, Templates, User Accounts) and review field completeness. We confirm whether the deployment is cloud SaaS or on-premise, as on-premise requires managed file extraction. The scoping output is a written Migration Scope Document listing all objects, field counts, record volume estimates, and any objects that cannot be exported.
Data quality assessment and field mapping design
We assess the CSV exports for data quality issues: missing required fields (name, email, phone), inconsistent date formats, duplicate records, and malformed text. We design the field mapping table mapping each Kursaha CSV column to a Salesforce field (standard or custom), with transformation logic for dates, picklists, multi-select fields, and computed properties. Any ambiguous field names are resolved with the customer before mapping is finalized. This phase produces the Field Mapping Specification used in all subsequent phases.
Salesforce schema design and Sandbox deployment
We design the destination Salesforce schema: custom fields on Lead, Contact, Opportunity, and Campaign objects; Record Types and Sales Processes for Campaign and Opportunity segmentation; custom objects for any Kursaha data objects that have no standard Salesforce equivalent. Schema is deployed via metadata API or change set into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) for validation before any production data moves.
Sandbox migration and customer reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's team reconciles record counts against the source CSV exports, spot-checks 25-50 random records field-by-field, and validates that Audience Segment membership is correctly reconstructed in Salesforce. Any mapping corrections are documented in the Field Mapping Specification and applied before production migration. Sign-off from the customer's admin is required before we proceed to production.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Kursaha user referenced on Contact, Campaign, and Activity records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Owners without a matching User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users before record import. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard Salesforce objects.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Salesforce Users (manually provisioned, validated first), Accounts (from any separate Company data), Contacts and Leads (with the split applied), Campaigns and Opportunities (with Record Type and Sales Process resolved), Audience Segment reconstruction (Campaign Members or static Lists), Template content (Notes or EmailTemplate records), Activity history (Tasks, Events via Bulk API 2.0 for large volumes). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Kursaha writes 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 Integration Inventory (all detected third-party integrations with AppExchange recommendations), the Automation Rebuild Checklist (Kursaha campaign rules and audience triggers mapped to Salesforce Flow equivalents), and the Analytics Screenshot Archive (customer-captured screenshots for reference). We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild workflows or automations as code inside the migration scope.
