Overview
Moving from Lead Guerrilla to Salesforce is a migration from a niche marketing automation tool with no documented API to the global CRM market leader. Lead Guerrilla stores Contacts, Companies, Segments, and Campaigns in a schema tightly coupled to 1CRM, and the absence of a public REST endpoint means every export relies on CSV downloads through the admin UI, coordinated vendor support, or a custom connector request. We sequence the migration to resolve Lead Guerrilla-to-1CRM cross-references before writing to Salesforce, preserve lead scoring as a custom numeric field on Lead and Contact, and map campaign enrollment history into Salesforce Campaign Members. Marketing automation rules, landing pages, and web forms do not migrate as portable artifacts; we deliver a detailed rebuild playbook for each. The timeline is extended compared to open-API migrations because the export phase requires manual choreography with the Lead Guerrilla admin UI and potentially 1CRM Systems Corp. support.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Lead Guerrilla 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.
Lead Guerrilla
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead or Contact (split required)
1:manyLead Guerrilla Contacts with a company association and high lead score (above the customer's defined MQL threshold) map to Salesforce Contact attached to an Account. Contacts with low scores or no company association map to Salesforce Lead. The split threshold is defined during scoping using Lead Guerrilla's lead score property and any segment membership data. The original Lead Guerrilla lead score migrates as a custom numeric field (lg_lead_score__c) on both Lead and Contact for rep prioritization and reporting audit.
Lead Guerrilla
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Lead Guerrilla Company records map directly to Salesforce Account. The company name becomes Account Name, and the website field maps from Lead Guerrilla's company URL. We resolve the Company-to-Contact linkage during import by matching on Account Name or by using a custom external ID field on Account if the customer has a consistent company identifier in Lead Guerrilla. If the customer is simultaneously migrating from 1CRM, we coordinate the Account import to avoid duplicate Account creation from both Lead Guerrilla Companies and 1CRM Accounts.
Lead Guerrilla
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign
1:1Lead Guerrilla Campaigns (multi-channel sequences across email, SMS, Twitter, and web notifications) map to Salesforce Campaign records. Campaign configuration including channel assignments, timing rules, and enrollment triggers are preserved in custom fields on the Campaign object (lg_channel__c, lg_trigger_type__c) so the marketing team has a reference record for rebuild. Active enrollment status per Contact migrates as Salesforce Campaign Member records with Member Status mapped from Lead Guerrilla enrollment state.
Lead Guerrilla
Segment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign or Static List
lossyLead Guerrilla Segments group contacts based on form source, behavior, or demographic criteria. Segment definitions (filter conditions and member counts) are preserved as Campaign Description text and as a static list in Salesforce Campaign. If the destination org uses Salesforce Campaigns with Campaign Member statuses, we map each Segment to a unique Campaign Member Status value so the marketing team can rebuild dynamic segments in Salesforce Flow or Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (Pardot) post-migration.
Lead Guerrilla
Landing Page
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentAsset or URL Redirect (rebuild required)
lossyLead Guerrilla Landing Pages cannot be exported as portable HTML or schema files. We export page metadata (title, URL slug, published status) and redirect configuration, then deliver a page-by-page inventory with field-level mapping to guide the rebuild in Salesforce Experience Cloud, HubSpot, or another landing page builder. The actual page rendering code and form embed scripts require manual rebuild; this is not an automated migration artifact.
Lead Guerrilla
Web Form
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Web-to-Lead or custom object (rebuild required)
lossyLead Guerrilla web forms are embedded tracking widgets with form logic (field visibility conditions, required field rules, redirect behavior) that cannot be exported as portable schema. We export form field definitions and submission mappings as a field-level inventory document. The customer rebuilds forms using Salesforce Web-to-Lead, Salesforce Forms in Experience Cloud, or a third-party form tool. We document the redirect URL rules so that existing form URLs can be preserved via URL redirect configuration in Salesforce.
Lead Guerrilla
Lead Scoring
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field (Lead_Score__c)
1:1Lead Guerrilla lead scores calculated from website behavior, form submissions, and campaign interactions are preserved as a custom numeric field (lg_lead_score__c) on both Lead and Contact. The scoring model itself (point values per action, score thresholds for MQL) is documented in the automation rebuild playbook for the marketing team to reimplement in Salesforce Flow or Pardot scoring rules.
Lead Guerrilla
Activity (email opens, page visits, form submissions, SMS, tweet engagement)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task, Event, EmailMessage
1:1Lead Guerrilla activity history tracks email opens, page visits, form submissions, SMS sends, and tweet engagement with timestamps and event types. We export activity records and map them to Salesforce Task (for calls, tasks, and form submissions), Event (for meetings if scheduled), and custom Activity Log records (for behavioral events like email opens and page visits that have no native Salesforce equivalent). High-volume activity records (over 100,000) are chunked and loaded via Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with parent-record resolution on WhoId and WhatId.
Lead Guerrilla
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom field (multi-select picklist) or Topic
lossyLead Guerrilla tags on Contacts and Companies migrate to Salesforce custom multi-select picklist fields (lg_tags__c) on Lead and Contact. Tag naming conventions are preserved exactly as-is to maintain segment continuity. If the customer uses tags for content classification rather than contact segmentation, we map them to Salesforce Topics with TopicAssignment records.
Lead Guerrilla
User/Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Lead Guerrilla user accounts (campaign owners and assignment recipients) map to Salesforce User records. We extract the user list including name and email. Owner resolution happens by email match against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any Lead Guerrilla Owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before Contact and Lead import begins.
Lead Guerrilla
Marketing Automation Rules
Salesforce Sales Cloud
None (not migratable)
1:1Lead Guerrilla automation logic (time-based triggers, enrollment conditions, score adjustments, campaign enrollment actions) lives entirely inside the Lead Guerrilla workflow engine with no documented export path. 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 rebuild playbook mapping each rule to a Salesforce Flow equivalent and a Pardot Engagement Studio step if the customer licenses Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.
Lead Guerrilla
Campaign Enrollment History
Salesforce Sales Cloud
CampaignMember
1:1Contact enrollment status in Lead Guerrilla Campaigns (enrolled, completed, unsubscribed, bounced) maps to Salesforce Campaign Member with a Member Status value that corresponds to the Lead Guerrilla enrollment state. We preserve the enrollment date and any campaign-specific interaction scores as custom fields on Campaign Member (lg_enrolled_date__c, lg_interaction_score__c). This allows the customer's sales team to see which campaigns a Lead or Contact has been exposed to without rebuilding the entire campaign logic.

Migration approach
Discovery and vendor coordination
We audit the Lead Guerrilla instance across all objects (Contacts, Companies, Campaigns, Segments, Landing Pages, Web Forms, Activities, Tags, Users), active marketing automation rules, and lead scoring model configuration. We also identify whether the customer is simultaneously migrating from 1CRM and assess the cross-reference blast radius. Because Lead Guerrilla has no documented API, we coordinate with 1CRM Systems Corp. for any bulk export assistance required, and we begin the manual CSV export choreography from the Lead Guerrilla admin UI. The discovery output is a written migration scope with object-level mapping, a list of any vendor coordination required for bulk export, and a Lead-Contact split rule based on the customer's lead score threshold.
Schema design and Salesforce sandbox setup
We design the destination schema in Salesforce. This includes provisioning custom fields (lg_lead_score__c, lg_channel__c, lg_enrolled_date__c, lg_interaction_score__c, lg_tags__c, lg_campaign_type__c), Campaign Record Types (one per Lead Guerrilla campaign), and any custom objects required for form or landing page metadata. We configure Salesforce's Bulk API 2.0 permission for the migration user, set up field-level security for custom fields, and deploy the schema to a Salesforce Sandbox via metadata API or change set for validation before production migration begins.
Staged export and sandbox migration
We run staged exports from Lead Guerrilla: bulk CSV for Contacts and Companies through the admin UI, campaign enrollment data export, activity history export (email opens, page visits, form submissions, SMS, tweet engagement), segment membership lists, and tag assignments. We run a full migration into the Salesforce Sandbox to validate record counts, spot-check field mapping on 25-50 records, and confirm the Lead-Contact split is functioning correctly. Any mapping corrections happen in the sandbox, not in production. This phase may require multiple vendor coordination cycles with 1CRM Systems Corp. for bulk export assistance.
Owner reconciliation and user provisioning
We extract every distinct Lead Guerrilla User referenced on Contact, Company, Campaign, and Activity records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Users 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 Lead Guerrilla user is still employed). Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard objects. If the customer is simultaneously migrating from 1CRM, we coordinate the User provisioning across both source systems to avoid duplicate Salesforce User creation.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Lead Guerrilla Companies), Contacts and Leads (with the lead-score-based split applied and lg_lead_score__c preserved), Campaign records (with lg_channel__c and lg_trigger_type__c), Campaign Members (enrollment status mapped from Lead Guerrilla campaign state), Activity history (Tasks, Events, and custom Activity Log records via Bulk API 2.0 with chunking and WhoId/WhatId parent-record resolution), Tags (as multi-select picklist on Lead and Contact), and Custom Objects (if applicable, last because they often have lookups to standard objects). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Lead Guerrilla 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 automation rebuild playbook documenting every Lead Guerrilla marketing automation rule with its trigger, conditions, actions, and a recommended Salesforce Flow or Pardot Engagement Studio equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Lead Guerrilla automation rules as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task. Landing page and web form rebuilds are handed off to the marketing team with field-level mapping documentation.
