Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Lead Guerrilla to Freshsales is a migration from a marketing automation platform tightly bound to 1CRM into a standalone CRM with built-in AI and communication tools. Lead Guerrilla has no documented public API, which forces all data export through manual CSV downloads and admin UI screenshots, extending timelines compared to platforms with open REST endpoints. We preserve Lead Guerrilla contact records, company associations, segment memberships, and numeric lead scores as custom fields in Freshsales. Landing pages and embedded web forms created in Lead Guerrilla's builder cannot be exported as portable assets — we deliver a page-by-page inventory with field-level mapping so your team can rebuild them in Freshmarketer or any replacement builder. Marketing automation rules (time-based triggers, enrollment conditions, score adjustments) have no export path and are not migratable; we catalog every active rule and deliver a reimplementation playbook for your marketing team. The tight 1CRM coupling means Contact and Company records in Lead Guerrilla share internal identifiers with 1CRM, so we explicitly audit cross-references during scoping and re-link orphaned pairs in Freshsales before cutover.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Lead Guerrilla

What's pushing teams away

  • The platform has an extremely small market footprint (reportedly fewer than 20 companies using it as of 2025), making peer reviews, community support, and third-party integrations scarce compared to established marketing automation tools.
  • Lead Guerrilla has no publicly documented REST API or developer portal, making it difficult to export data programmatically, integrate with modern tools, or automate anything outside the built-in workflow builder.
  • The tight coupling with 1CRM as both parent product and primary integration point means teams that outgrow 1CRM or want to use a different CRM are effectively locked out of the platform's core value proposition.
  • Hidden overage fees for exceeding contact or email limits can catch small businesses off guard, with ITQlick reporting unexpected charges ranging from $50 to $500 per incident.
  • The platform competes against tools like MailChimp, Klaviyo, and HubSpot Marketing Hub, all of which offer substantially larger feature sets, better documentation, and richer ecosystems at comparable or lower price points.

Choosing

Freshsales logo

Freshsales

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry among major CRMs — the free tier supports up to 3 users and includes core CRM functionality before committing to per-seat pricing.
  • Built-in chat, email, and phone reduce reliance on third-party integrations for basic sales communication and contact management.
  • Freddy AI contact scoring and deal insights are included on Pro plans at a lower price than comparable HubSpot tiers.
  • Kanban pipeline views across Contacts, Accounts, and Deals provide visual deal management without requiring custom configuration.
  • Integration with the broader Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshchat, Freshservice) reduces tool sprawl for teams already using Freshworks.

Object mapping

How Lead Guerrilla objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a Lead Guerrilla 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.

Lead Guerrilla

Contact

maps to

Freshsales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla Contacts map directly to Freshsales Contacts. We extract all standard fields (first_name, last_name, email, phone, address) and custom properties including the numeric lead_score value, which we write to a custom numeric field (e.g., lg_lead_score__c) in Freshsales. Tags assigned to the Contact migrate as Freshsales Tags. The contact-to-company linkage migrates as the Freshsales Contact's AccountId lookup resolved against the Account records created from Lead Guerrilla Companies.

Lead Guerrilla

Company

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla Company records map to Freshsales Accounts. We use the Company name as the Account Name and the Company website as the Account Website field. If the Company has a unique domain, it becomes the Account's Website field for dedupe during import. Account is created before Contact import so the AccountId lookup is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert. Company-level Tags migrate as Account Tags.

Lead Guerrilla

Campaign

maps to

Freshsales

Workflow + Sales Sequence (manual rebuild)

lossy
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla Campaign configuration (channel assignments, timing rules, enrollment triggers, multi-channel sequences across email, SMS, Twitter, web notifications) does not have an exportable equivalent in Freshsales. We export campaign metadata (name, status, channel assignments, timing rules) and deliver a Campaign Reimplementation Playbook that maps each Lead Guerrilla campaign trigger and action to Freshsales Workflow conditions or Sales Sequences. The customer's marketing team rebuilds the automation logic manually post-migration.

Lead Guerrilla

Segment

maps to

Freshsales

Tag or Dynamic View

lossy
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla Segments define contact groupings based on form source, behavior, or demographic criteria. We export segment definitions including filter conditions and member counts. Segment membership translates into Freshsales Tags (static segmentation) or Dynamic Views with filter conditions (dynamic segmentation). The customer chooses the strategy during scoping. If the destination is Freshsales Suite (CRM + marketing), Segments may map to Freshmarketer Segments.

Lead Guerrilla

Landing Page

maps to

Freshsales

Content asset (rebuild required)

1:1
Fully supported

Landing Pages created in Lead Guerrilla's builder cannot be exported as portable HTML or schema files. We export page metadata (title, URL slug, published status) and redirect configuration, then deliver a Landing Page Inventory with field-level mapping so your marketing team can rebuild each page in Freshmarketer, HubSpot, or any other builder. The page HTML content and form embed scripts are not migratable.

Lead Guerrilla

Web Form

maps to

Freshsales

Web-to-Lead or Freshmarketer Form (rebuild required)

1:1
Fully supported

Web forms embedded in Lead Guerrilla landing pages collect contact data with field mappings and redirect behavior. We export form field definitions and submission mappings, but the form logic and embed scripts are not portable. We deliver a Web Form Inventory with field-level mapping for your team to rebuild in Freshsales Web-to-Lead, Freshmarketer Forms, or a third-party form builder. Form submissions captured during the migration window are preserved in the CSV export.

Lead Guerrilla

Lead Scoring

maps to

Freshsales

Custom numeric field + Freddy AI scoring

1:1
Mapping required

Lead Guerrilla's numeric lead_score value per contact migrates as a custom numeric field (lg_lead_score__c) on Freshsales Contact. Freshsales has Freddy AI-powered contact scoring that calculates conversion probability independently; the migrated lg_lead_score__c value serves as a baseline reference. The scoring model itself (point values per action, thresholds, grade assignments) is documented in the Automation Reimplementation Playbook for the customer's marketing team to translate into Freshsales Workflow rules or Freddy AI configuration.

Lead Guerrilla

Activity history

maps to

Freshsales

Task and Event

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla activity records (email opens, page visits, form submissions, SMS sends, tweet engagement) with timestamps and event types migrate to Freshsales Task and Event records. High-volume activity records are chunked and loaded via Freshsales CSV import or API, with the original timestamp preserved in ActivityDate for timeline ordering. Note that Lead Guerrilla's activity export requires manual CSV downloads per contact or a custom connector request to 1CRM Systems Corp for bulk export assistance.

Lead Guerrilla

Tag

maps to

Freshsales

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Contacts and Companies can be tagged in Lead Guerrilla. We export all tag assignments and reapply them as Freshsales Tags on the corresponding Contact and Account records. Tag naming conventions are preserved exactly as-is to maintain segmentation continuity. Tags are used to preserve segment membership where segments are defined as static tag lists.

Lead Guerrilla

User / Owner

maps to

Freshsales

User

1:1
Fully supported

Lead Guerrilla User accounts map to Freshsales Users. We export the user list including name and email. In Freshsales, we match by email against the User directory. Any Lead Guerrilla User without a matching Freshsales User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Owner assignments on Contacts, Companies, and Campaigns migrate by resolving the User email to Freshsales User ID.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No documented API forces manual export choreography

    Lead Guerrilla publishes no REST API, GraphQL endpoint, or developer documentation for programmatic data access. All data export must be performed through admin UI CSV downloads (Contacts, Companies, Segments), manual screenshots for activity history, or direct assistance from 1CRM Systems Corp support for bulk export requests. We choreograph a staged export process that extends migration timelines significantly compared to platforms with open APIs. Customers should request bulk export assistance from 1CRM Systems Corp before migration begins to accelerate the extraction phase.

  • Marketing automation rules have no export path

    Lead Guerrilla's automation engine (time-based triggers, enrollment conditions, score adjustments on specific actions, campaign sequencing) lives entirely inside the workflow builder with no documented export mechanism. We cannot migrate these rules automatically. During discovery we catalog every active automation via screenshots and configuration notes taken from the admin UI, then deliver a detailed reimplementation playbook mapping each rule to Freshsales Workflow conditions or Sales Sequences. The customer's marketing team rebuilds each rule manually post-migration.

  • 1CRM coupling creates cross-reference blast radius

    Lead Guerrilla is built and maintained by 1CRM Systems Corp, and its Contact and Company records share internal identifiers with 1CRM. When migrating to Freshsales, cross-references between marketing data and CRM data can become orphaned. We explicitly audit every cross-referenced record pair during scoping and re-link them manually in Freshsales. If the customer is simultaneously migrating away from 1CRM, the blast radius doubles; we recommend sequencing the CRM migration first, then the marketing automation migration, to avoid cascading relinking work.

  • Landing page and form assets require content rebuild

    Landing Pages and embedded web forms created in Lead Guerrilla's builder cannot be exported as portable HTML, schema files, or embed scripts. We export page metadata (title, URL slug, published status), form field definitions, and redirect rules, but the actual page rendering code and form embed scripts are not migratable. The customer must rebuild these assets in Freshmarketer or an alternative builder. We provide a page-by-page inventory with field-level mapping so the rebuild is guided rather than ad hoc.

  • Lead field-to-contact mapping can lose data on conversion

    Freshsales has a Lead object separate from Contact, and when a Lead is converted to a Contact, Account, and Deal, any custom Lead fields must be explicitly mapped to corresponding Contact, Account, or Deal fields or the data is lost. Freshsales' own documentation (support.freshsales.io) confirms this behavior. If migrating Contacts from Lead Guerrilla into Freshsales as Leads (rather than directly as Contacts), we configure field mapping before migration. We recommend migrating Lead Guerrilla Contacts directly as Freshsales Contacts where possible to avoid the conversion step and its associated data loss risk.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Lead Guerrilla to Freshsales data migration

  1. Discovery and export feasibility assessment

    We audit the Lead Guerrilla portal for Contacts, Companies, Segments, Campaigns, Landing Pages, Web Forms, Tags, activity history, and active automation rules. We assess export feasibility: straightforward CSV exports for Contacts and Companies, manual screenshots or 1CRM Systems Corp support requests for activity history, and admin UI screenshots for automation cataloging. We also audit any 1CRM cross-references. The discovery output is a written migration scope with an export choreography plan and a request to 1CRM Systems Corp for bulk export assistance if needed.

  2. Export choreography and data extraction

    We choreograph a staged export process: (1) CSV downloads for Contact and Company records from the admin UI, (2) Segment definitions and member exports, (3) Campaign configuration screenshots and metadata export, (4) Landing Page and Web Form field-level inventories, (5) Tag exports, (6) Activity history CSV exports per contact or in bulk via 1CRM Systems Corp support. All exports are staged in a secure S3 bucket. We validate record counts against the Lead Guerrilla admin UI before proceeding to transform.

  3. Freshsales schema preparation and test migration

    We set up the Freshsales destination workspace: Contacts with custom fields (lg_lead_score__c, lg_segment__c, lg_source__c), Accounts, Tags, and any custom objects. If the customer uses Freshsales Leads module, we configure field mapping rules to ensure data is not lost on Lead conversion. We run a test migration into a Freshsales sandbox or trial environment with 100-500 sample records to validate record count, field mapping, and Tag assignment before full production migration.

  4. Data transform and de-duplication

    We transform the Lead Guerrilla export data: Contact records are parsed with name, email, phone, address, and custom properties; Companies become Accounts; Tags are mapped to Freshsales Tags; Segment memberships are converted to Tag assignments or Dynamic Views; Lead scores are written to lg_lead_score__c; Activity records are parsed with timestamps and event types. We run de-duplication checks (email as primary key for Contacts, Company name for Accounts) and flag duplicates for the customer's admin to resolve before import.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: (1) Accounts (from Lead Guerrilla Companies), (2) Contacts (with AccountId resolved), (3) Tags (applied to Contacts and Accounts), (4) Activity history (Tasks and Events via CSV import), (5) Campaigns and Segments (metadata inventory only; automation rebuild playbook delivered separately). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We freeze Lead Guerrilla writes during the final cutover window and run a delta migration of any records modified during the migration window.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation playbook delivery

    We enable Freshsales as the system of record and disable the Lead Guerrilla marketing automation to stop double-billing. We deliver the Campaign Reimplementation Playbook documenting every Lead Guerrilla automation with trigger, conditions, actions, and Freshsales Workflow or Sales Sequence equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Landing Pages, Web Forms, or automations inside the migration scope; those are content and configuration tasks handled by the customer's marketing team with our documentation as a guide.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 10,000 Contacts and 2,000 Companies with straightforward CSV exports. Migrations requiring manual activity history extraction, large segment inventories, or simultaneous 1CRM decoupling move to six to ten weeks because of export choreography complexity. The primary timeline driver is Lead Guerrilla's lack of a documented API, which forces manual data extraction steps that are not present in migrations from platforms with open REST endpoints.
