Overview
Leaf360 organizes mortgage data around a simple object graph: loan officers, referral partners, companies (borrowers or real estate agents), deals tied to a single pipeline with configurable stages, and engagement logs for calls and emails. Salesforce Sales Cloud uses a richer schema built around AccountId lookups, split Lead/Contact records, Opportunity records keyed by RecordTypeId, and pick-list values that vary per Sales Process. The migration carries everything Leaf360 stores natively — contacts, companies, deals, activities, custom fields — into Salesforce's record-type model. The harder problems are mapping Leaf360's single pipeline to Salesforce's Sales Process and record-type architecture, resolving Leaf360 owner assignments by email match against Salesforce users, handling Leaf360's referral-partner relationship labels in Salesforce's sharing model, and ensuring that deal amounts and stage names survive the translation without data loss. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly — accounts land first, then contacts and leads split by lifecycle, then opportunities with stage and RecordTypeId mapping per pipeline. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any records modified during cutover. Automations, email templates, and referral-tracking logic do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Salesforce Flow.
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 Leaf360 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.
Leaf360
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Leaf360 contacts map directly to Salesforce Contacts. Salesforce requires AccountId for most contact records — Leaf360 contacts without a primary company association get attached to a default 'Unassigned Account' record or are re-associated by a specified rule (most-recently-modified company by default).
Leaf360
Lead
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:1Leaf360 leads with status 'new' or 'contacted' map to Salesforce Lead. The lead_status pick-list maps value-by-value — custom Leaf360 lead stages require explicit value mapping against Salesforce's default Lead Status values (New, Working, Nurturing, Closed — Converted, Closed — Not Converted).
Leaf360
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Leaf360 companies map to Salesforce Account. Leaf360 parent-child company hierarchies (branch offices under a parent lender) map to Salesforce ParentId — the parent must be migrated before child accounts so the foreign key resolves on insert. Multi-company contacts collapse to one primary AccountId plus Account Contact Relations for secondary associations.
Leaf360
Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Leaf360 deals map to Salesforce Opportunities. Each deal's associated pipeline and stage map to an Opportunity StageName value scoped to the appropriate RecordTypeId. Deal amount, close date, owner, and description carry over as-is. Deals without an associated company link require an AccountId — FlitStack creates a placeholder Account or links to the contact's primary account.
Leaf360
Pipeline Stage
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity StageName (per RecordTypeId)
1:1Leaf360 pipeline stages map to Salesforce Opportunity StageName values value-by-value per record type. Stage probability and forecast category re-applied from Salesforce's stage metadata. Stage-entered timestamps preserved as custom datetime fields (e.g., Stage_Entered_Date__c) since Salesforce's standard stage-history tracking requires OpportunityHistory which is write-once and not populated by bulk API inserts.
Leaf360
Activity (Call / Email / Meeting)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task / Event
1:1Leaf360 call and email logs map to Salesforce Tasks with Type set to 'Call' or 'Email'. Leaf360 meeting records map to Salesforce Events with original start and end times preserved. Original timestamps, owners, and parent-record lookups (WhoId on Task for Contact/Lead, WhatId for Account/Opportunity) are maintained so activity timeline reporting works in Salesforce.
Leaf360
Note
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note
1:1Leaf360 notes map to Salesforce Notes (the enhanced Notes object, not the legacy Note). Rich-text body content and title carry over. If the note references a specific deal or contact, the parent-record link is resolved to the migrated Salesforce ID. Notes without a valid parent record are attached to a placeholder parent flagged for admin review.
Leaf360
Attachment / File
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Files (ContentDocument / ContentVersion)
1:1Leaf360 file attachments on records are downloaded and re-uploaded to Salesforce Files. Files are linked to the corresponding Salesforce record via ContentDocumentLink. Salesforce's default 25MB per-file limit applies — files exceeding this threshold are flagged for manual review or chunked upload.
Leaf360
Custom Field (leaf360)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field (__c)
1:1Every Leaf360 custom property requires a corresponding custom field created in Salesforce before migration data loads. FlitStack delivers a custom-field creation manifest with the field label, API name (appended __c), data type mapping (string → Text, number → Number, date → Date, pick-list → Picklist), and default value for each custom property. Salesforce field-level security (FLS) is set to read-write for the migration profile during the load.
Leaf360
Referral Source Label
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom pick-list field on Contact / Account
1:1Leaf360 stores referral partner type (Agent, Broker, TPO, Past Client) as a native property on contact and company records. Salesforce has no built-in referral-source field. The value migrates as a custom pick-list field (Referral_Source__c) on Contact and Account — values are mapped one-to-one from Leaf360's pick-list options. If a new referral source type exists in Leaf360 that has no Salesforce equivalent, it is preserved as a custom pick-list value added during schema setup.
Leaf360
User / Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User (OwnerId)
1:1Leaf360 owner IDs are resolved to Salesforce User records by email address match. Users who exist in Leaf360 but not in Salesforce are flagged before migration — the team either invites them to Salesforce first or assigns their records to a designated fallback owner. No opportunity or contact lands in Salesforce without a valid OwnerId.
Leaf360
Workflow / Automation
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Not migrated — rebuilt in Salesforce Flow
1:1Leaf360 workflows, referral-triggered automations, and email sequences do not have a Salesforce equivalent. FlitStack exports the workflow definitions as a JSON reference document so your Salesforce admin can rebuild equivalent logic in Flow. The rebuild reference includes trigger conditions, action steps, and filter criteria captured from Leaf360's export.
Leaf360
TPO / Wholesale Application Data
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object / Opportunity Custom Fields
1:1Leaf360's Canopy TPO and wholesale channel data (loan type, TPO status, broker license number) maps to either a Salesforce custom object (for complex TPO relationship tracking) or a set of custom fields on the Account and Opportunity objects. FlitStack surfaces the mapping plan in the pre-migration schema review and your admin chooses the architecture before data lands.

Migration approach
Extract Leaf360 data via API and audit schema
FlitStack connects to Leaf360 using OAuth2 read access and exports all contacts, companies, deals, activities, and custom property definitions via the Leaf360 API. We generate a data inventory report showing record counts per object, custom field definitions with data types, and pipeline stage names. This report is the basis for the Salesforce schema setup plan — it tells your Salesforce admin exactly which custom fields to create, which record types to set up, and which stage values to map before data lands.
Create Salesforce custom fields and record types
Before any data loads, your Salesforce admin (or our team) creates the __c fields and record types required by the migration plan. This includes Referral_Source__c on Contact and Account, Loan_Type__c and TPO_Status__c on Opportunity, NMLS_License__c on Contact, Original_Create_Date__c and Source_System_ID__c on key objects, and a RecordTypeId per Leaf360 pipeline. We deliver a step-by-step Salesforce schema setup checklist so this phase completes without surprises at migration time.
Resolve owners and flag unmatched users
We run an owner-resolution pass against your Salesforce org: every Leaf360 owner email is matched against active Salesforce User emails. Matched users are mapped directly. Unmatched owners are flagged in a pre-flight report with the owner's Leaf360 name, email, and record count. Your team either creates Salesforce user accounts for those owners or designates a fallback owner. No opportunity or contact commits to Salesforce without a confirmed OwnerId — this prevents orphaned records and sharing rule violations at go-live.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 200–500 records spanning contacts across different referral sources, accounts of each company type, opportunities in each pipeline stage, and a sample of activities. We generate a field-level diff comparing the Leaf360 source values against the Salesforce destination values for every mapped field. You review the diff to confirm referral-source mapping, pipeline-to-record-type assignment, and owner resolution before the full run commits. Sample migration findings are incorporated into the final migration plan.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover
The full migration runs against your Salesforce org using Bulk API for high-volume loads and REST API for records requiring real-time validation. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window opens at cutover: any records created or modified in Leaf360 during the migration window are captured and synced to Salesforce before go-live. An audit log records every insert, update, and skip operation. One-click rollback is available if row-count reconciliation reveals discrepancies above the agreed tolerance threshold.
Deliver workflow export and rebuild reference
FlitStack exports your Leaf360 workflow definitions as a JSON reference document — it includes trigger conditions, filter criteria, action steps, and step order for every active workflow in Leaf360. This document is handed off to your Salesforce admin to rebuild equivalent logic in Flow, Process Builder, or Apex as appropriate. The export does not include login credentials, passwords, or third-party API keys — those must be re-configured manually in Salesforce for each integration.
