Overview
Moving from LeadPrime to Freshsales is a lead-distribution-centric migration with a constrained export path. LeadPrime has no confirmed public API, which means extraction relies on its bulk CSV export capability; we assess the export scope during discovery and chunk large datasets for sequential loading into Freshsales via its REST import endpoints. LeadPrime's core value is its Round Robin, Shark Tank, and Hybrid distribution rules, but these are stored as configuration rather than data records, so we document the full routing logic during scoping and deliver it as a Freshsales Workflow rebuild guide for the customer's admin. Lead Finder Credits are a billing token and are not migratable; we confirm the balance at cutover and flag it for financial record keeping separately. We migrate Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Pipeline Stages, Activities (calls, emails, notes), Custom Fields, and Tags. We do not migrate Distribution Rules as code, Workflows, Sequences, or Forms; these receive written rebuild inventories instead. The Freshsales Lead conversion model (Leads convert to Contacts plus Accounts plus Deals) requires a conversion mapping design step before any records load.
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 LeadPrime 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.
LeadPrime
Lead
Freshsales
Lead
1:1LeadPrime Leads map directly to Freshsales Lead records. Standard fields (first name, last name, email, phone, company, source) map to Freshsales default Lead fields. The Lead's owner assignment from LeadPrime maps to Freshsales Lead Owner by email match. Lead status values map to Freshsales lead stage statuses (New, Contacted, Qualified, Unqualified) which are configurable per the Freshsales conversion settings.
LeadPrime
Contact
Freshsales
Contact
1:1LeadPrime Contacts map to Freshsales Contact records. Where a Lead has converted in LeadPrime, we migrate both the contact record and the conversion linkage so that history is not orphaned. Freshsales Contact requires a primary Account lookup; if the source Contact has no associated Company, we create a placeholder Account or map to an existing Account during the import phase.
LeadPrime
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1LeadPrime Company records map to Freshsales Account. Company name, industry, size, website, and address fields map to equivalent Freshsales Account fields. Account is created before Contact import so the AccountId lookup is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert. Custom properties on Company map to Freshsales custom fields on Account.
LeadPrime
Pipeline
Freshsales
Pipeline
lossyLeadPrime pipelines with custom stage names and ordering export as a pipeline topology. Freshsales supports multiple pipelines with customizable stage names. We recreate the full pipeline structure in Freshsales before Deal migration begins, preserving stage sequence and any stage-specific labels.
LeadPrime
Pipeline Stage
Freshsales
Deal Stage
1:1Each LeadPrime pipeline stage maps 1:1 to a Freshsales Deal stage within the corresponding pipeline. Stage names, ordering, and probability percentages (if set in LeadPrime) migrate to Freshsales deal stages with stage probabilities set per stage.
LeadPrime
Deal (if applicable)
Freshsales
Deal
1:1If LeadPrime contains Deal records beyond the lead stage, they map to Freshsales Deal. Deal name, amount, stage, owner, expected close date, and associated Contact and Account lookups migrate. Freshsales requires the Contact to have an Account before Deal import if the Deal references a Contact.
LeadPrime
Custom Field
Freshsales
Custom Field
1:1LeadPrime custom fields on Leads, Contacts, and Companies are inventoried during scoping. Each custom field maps to a Freshsales custom field of the equivalent data type (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox, etc.). Custom field values migrate as part of the parent record import. We flag any LeadPrime field types without a direct Freshsales equivalent for customer decision during scoping.
LeadPrime
Tag
Freshsales
Tag
1:1LeadPrime tags are flat label structures applied across records. We migrate all tag assignments per Contact or Lead. Freshsales uses a similar flat tag model; tags migrate as-is with tag assignment records linked to the parent record.
LeadPrime
Activity: Call, Email, Note
Freshsales
Activity
1:1Calls, emails, and notes logged against Leads or Contacts migrate as Freshsales Activity records. Activity type, description, timestamp, and owner assignment transfer. Freshsales uses a unified Activity timeline for calls, emails, and notes against a Contact or Account record.
LeadPrime
User
Freshsales
User
1:1LeadPrime user records (sales reps, admins, managers) map to Freshsales users by email match. Active and inactive status and role assignments transfer. Owner lookups on Leads, Contacts, and Deals resolve to the mapped User record in Freshsales.

Migration approach
Discovery and export assessment
We audit LeadPrime across the customer's account for available export paths, record counts (Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Activities), custom field inventory, pipeline and stage topology, and tag taxonomy. We confirm CSV bulk export availability and estimate the number of export batches required. We simultaneously inventory the Freshsales destination account for existing objects, custom fields, pipeline structure, and user list. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with record counts, field mapping tables, pipeline mapping, and a timeline estimate.
Freshsales conversion mapping and schema preparation
We configure Freshsales conversion settings before any record import: which Lead custom fields map to Contact, Account, and Deal custom fields post-conversion. We create any missing custom fields in Freshsales (matching data types from LeadPrime's field inventory), set up pipeline and stage structures matching LeadPrime's topology, and configure Freshsales user records to match LeadPrime owners by email. Schema preparation happens in a Freshsales staging environment if available, or in the production org with a validation batch before full migration.
CSV extraction and data transformation
We extract data from LeadPrime via CSV bulk export in batches of 5,000 records per export run to manage file sizes. Each export batch transforms through a mapping layer: LeadPrime field names map to Freshsales field names, data types are normalized (phone number formats, date formats), and owner email lookups are resolved to Freshsales user IDs. Custom field values are extracted verbatim and staged for Freshsales custom field import. Any LeadPrime records without a matching Freshsales user are flagged to the customer's admin for user provisioning before the import phase begins.
Sandbox or validation batch import
We run an initial import of 100-200 records from each major object (Lead, Contact, Account, Deal) into Freshsales as a validation pass. The customer reconciles field values against the LeadPrime source, confirms that custom fields mapped correctly, verifies that pipeline and stage assignments are accurate, and approves the conversion mapping configuration. Mapping corrections happen at this stage before any large-volume import begins. This step reduces the risk of large-scale data quality issues in production.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated before import), Accounts (from LeadPrime Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Leads (with OwnerId resolved), Deals (with ContactId and AccountId resolved), Activities (calls, emails, notes as Activity records). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Custom field values load as part of the parent record import. Tags load as tag assignment records linked to the parent Lead or Contact after the parent record is confirmed in Freshsales.
Cutover, validation, and Distribution Rule handoff
We freeze LeadPrime writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window, then enable Freshsales as the system of record. We deliver the LeadPrime Distribution Rule documentation with a Freshsales Workflow rebuild guide so the customer's admin can re-implement Round Robin, Shark Tank, or Hybrid routing in Freshsales Automation. We support a three-day post-cutover window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild LeadPrime Distribution Rules inside the migration scope; that work is documented for the customer's admin to execute.
