Overview
Moving from Leadtrekker Lead Management to Salesforce is a migration from a South African-origin lead management layer to a full-stack enterprise CRM. Leadtrekker structures its data around a single Lead object with owner assignment, source attribution, and a notification engine; Salesforce separates unqualified prospects (Lead), qualified buyers (Contact attached to Account), and revenue stages (Opportunity). We resolve that structural split at scoping, preserve Leadtrekker's source labels as a Salesforce Lead Source or custom field, and convert Reminders to Salesforce Tasks with owner and due date intact. API authentication method and rate limits are not publicly documented for Leadtrekker, so we conduct a discovery API probe before finalizing the runbook. Notification preferences, user group permissions, and any automated assignment rules do not migrate as configuration; we deliver a written inventory for manual rebuild. Workflows, SMS autoresponders, and lead routing rules are out of scope for data migration and are documented separately for the customer's admin to reconfigure in Salesforce Flow.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Leadtrekker Lead Management 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.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
Lead
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead (pre-conversion) or Contact + Account (post-conversion)
1:manyLeadtrekker's Lead record (name, email, phone, status, lead source, owner) maps to Salesforce Lead for unqualified prospects. Leads that represent qualified buyers with an existing company context split to a Salesforce Account and Contact pair. We compute the split using Leadtrekker's status and assignment history during scoping. The original Leadtrekker source attribution (form, campaign, referral) migrates to Salesforce LeadSource or a custom field for reporting continuity.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
Lead Source
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead Source or custom field on Lead and Account
1:1Leadtrekker's lead source attribution (website form, campaign, referral) maps directly to Salesforce's standard LeadSource picklist or a custom multi-select field if the customer's source taxonomy is broader. Source labels are preserved as-is to maintain historical marketing ROI reporting continuity. If Leadtrekker stored UTM parameters as custom fields, these migrate to Salesforce custom fields with a utm_ prefix.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
Activity (Notes, Call Logs, Emails)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task and Event
1:1Leadtrekker activities (notes, call logs, email events) attached to a Lead migrate to Salesforce Task and Event records linked to the migrated Lead or Contact via WhoId. Call logs map to Task with TaskSubtype = Call. Email events map to Salesforce EmailMessage plus a related Task for timeline display. Timestamps and user attribution are preserved as ActivityDate and OwnerId. Large activity volumes require Bulk API 2.0 with parent-record resolution.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
Reminder
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1Leadtrekker follow-up reminders with due date and owner migrate to Salesforce Task. Due date, assignee (OwnerId), priority, and status migrate directly. Reminders without a due date migrate as open Tasks with no due date. Completed status on the source reminder maps to Salesforce Task Status = Completed.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
User
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Leadtrekker user accounts (name, email, profile) export as a roster. We resolve Leadtrekker owners by email match against the destination Salesforce org's User table. Any Leadtrekker owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Passwords and session tokens do not transfer.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
User Group
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Role or Team
lossyLeadtrekker groups define lead-level view and edit permissions for a set of users. We extract the full group membership roster and build a mapping table from Leadtrekker groups to Salesforce Roles or Teams. The destination permission model (role hierarchy versus team-based sharing) is chosen during scoping with the customer's admin. Group permission logic is reconfigured manually post-migration as Salesforce Sharing Rules, Role Hierarchy, or Team Membership.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
Custom Field (on Lead)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field on Lead, Contact, or Account
lossyLeadtrekker does not publish a stable custom field taxonomy in its public documentation. We conduct a schema discovery step during scoping, probing the Leadtrekker API for field metadata to identify all custom fields in use. Each discovered custom field is mapped to a typed Salesforce custom field (Text, Number, Picklist, Date, Checkbox) before migration. Custom field names are preserved with a Leadtrekker origin prefix (lt_legacy__) for audit trail clarity.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
Notification Preference
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Not migratable
1:1Leadtrekker stores SMS and email notification settings (autoresponders, assignment alerts, response-time triggers) as platform runtime preferences, not as exportable data records. We do not migrate notification settings. We document every notification-trigger event in use during extraction and deliver a written inventory of each autoresponder, alert type, and routing rule with recommended Salesforce Flow equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild manually.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
Assignment Rule
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Not migratable
1:1Leadtrekker's automatic lead assignment rules (round-robin, source-based, territory-based) are platform configuration, not data records. We extract the rule logic during scoping and document the rule type, conditions, and assignment targets for manual rebuild as Salesforce Lead Assignment Rules or Flow-based routing.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
Workflow, Autoresponder, SMS Sequence
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Not migratable
1:1Leadtrekker's automated workflows, SMS autoresponders, and multi-step sequences are automation code that has no Salesforce equivalent as data records. We do not migrate them. We deliver a written inventory of each automation with its trigger, conditions, actions, and a recommended Salesforce Flow replacement for the customer's admin to configure post-migration.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
Reporting and Dashboard
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Not migratable
1:1Leadtrekker's built-in lead management analytics and marketing ROI reporting do not transfer as Salesforce reports or dashboards. We document the Leadtrekker report names, metrics, and filter logic during extraction. The customer's admin or a Salesforce partner rebuilds equivalent reports in Salesforce Reports & Dashboards or a BI tool of choice.
Leadtrekker Lead Management
Integrations (WordPress, Drupal, Zapier, Google Analytics)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Not migratable
1:1Leadtrekker's website form integrations (one-tag WordPress and Drupal embed) and Zapier connections do not migrate. We document the integration endpoints and trigger events during extraction. Salesforce Web-to-Lead or a Salesforce-provided form embed replaces the website capture layer. Zapier automations are re-created as Salesforce Flow or webhook-based integrations post-migration.

Migration approach
Discovery and API probe
We audit the source Leadtrekker account for record counts (Leads, Activities, Reminders), custom field names discovered via API probe, active integration endpoints, notification and autoresponder configuration, user roster, and group membership. Since Leadtrekker's API authentication and rate limits are undocumented, we conduct a discovery API probe to determine the auth method, available export endpoints, and safe request pacing. The discovery output is a written migration scope including the Lead-Contact split rule, custom field mapping table, and notification inventory.
Destination schema design
We design the Salesforce destination schema: standard Lead, Contact, Account, and Opportunity objects; custom fields typed to match discovered Leadtrekker fields (with lt_legacy__ prefix for audit); Lead Assignment Rules configured for round-robin or territory-based routing; Salesforce Picklist values for LeadSource matching the customer's source taxonomy; and a Role or Team structure aligned with the Leadtrekker group mapping. Schema is deployed to a Salesforce Sandbox first for validation.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's admin reconciles record counts (Leads in, Leads with Account-Contact split applied, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 records against the Leadtrekker source, and validates the Lead Source picklist and custom field values. Any mapping corrections happen in Sandbox, not production.
User reconciliation and Salesforce User provisioning
We extract every distinct Leadtrekker owner referenced on Lead, Activity, and Reminder records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any Leadtrekker owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions missing Users and confirms active/inactive status before production migration proceeds because OwnerId references are required on most standard objects.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated), Accounts (from Leadtrekker company context if applicable), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Leads (with Lead-Contact split applied), Tasks and Events (Activity history via Bulk API 2.0 with parent-record resolution for WhoId and WhatId), Reminders (as Tasks with due date and OwnerId). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Notification preferences, assignment rules, and autoresponders are documented in the post-migration inventory, not migrated as data.
Cutover, validation, and inventory handoff
We freeze Leadtrekker 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 notification and autoresponder inventory, assignment-rule logic, integration endpoint map, and reporting metric list to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Leadtrekker automations, sequences, or assignment rules as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; those are separate engagements.
