Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Lime Go to Salesforce Sales Cloud is a structural upgrade from a regional B2B CRM to an enterprise sales platform. Lime Go organizes data around Customers, Contacts, and Deals within visual pipelines; Salesforce uses the Lead-Contact-Account-Opportunity hierarchy with record types and sales processes. We handle the schema translation, preserving Lime Go's GDPR consent timeline as custom fields on Contact and Account for compliance continuity. The built-in Nordic company enrichment database (3.7 million records) does not migrate as Contacts—these are flagged as enrichment-only context that requires a destination enrichment provider post-migration. Because Lime Go lacks a publicly documented REST API with rate limits, we use conservative request pacing and discovered endpoints during extraction. Saved Filters, manual email logging records, and Lime Go-specific commenting structures do not migrate; we document these for admin rebuild post-migration.

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.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Lime Go

What's pushing teams away

  • Poor third-party integrations force users to manually log emails and other communications, creating data silos and significant administrative overhead in daily workflows.
  • Task management lacks batch operations—users cannot select multiple reminders and postpone them in one action, causing friction when managing high-activity sales teams.
  • Limited commenting functionality: users cannot reply to comments, making collaborative note-taking and team communication less structured than alternatives.
  • Not advanced enough for project management use cases despite covering CRM fundamentals, prompting teams with project-heavy workflows to seek alternative platforms.

Choosing

Salesforce Sales Cloud logo

Salesforce Sales Cloud

What's pulling them in

  • The AppExchange marketplace with 5,000+ prebuilt apps gives enterprises integrations for nearly every business workflow without custom development.
  • Native Einstein AI for lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting adds intelligence without a separate platform purchase.
  • Territory management, multi-currency support, and advanced forecasting satisfy the needs of complex B2B sales organizations with structured revenue teams.
  • Slack, Tableau, and CPQ are deeply integrated into the core platform, keeping the sales stack unified for teams already in the Salesforce ecosystem.
  • Organizations with a large, established Salesforce implementation choose it because switching costs — integrations, custom code, trained admins — are prohibitive.

Object mapping

How Lime Go objects map to Salesforce Sales Cloud

Each row shows how a Lime Go 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.

Lime Go

Customer

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Customers (the primary account-level records storing company data, metadata, and ownership) map directly to Salesforce Account. We preserve custom fields, tags, and the Customer ID as an External ID for deduplication. Lime Go's visual company data and owner assignments map to Account Name, Industry, Type, and OwnerId. This is the first object loaded because all downstream Contact and Deal records reference the Account.

Lime Go

Contact

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Contacts (individual people linked to Customers) map to Salesforce Contact with full field fidelity: name, email, phone, title, custom properties, and owner assignments. The Lime Go Customer-to-Account link resolves to AccountId during import. GDPR consent flags migrate as custom Contact fields (consent_type__c, consent_date__c, consent_withdrawn__c) preserving the full consent timeline for Nordic data protection compliance.

Lime Go

Company (enriched)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Enrichment context (flagged)

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go's built-in Nordic company database of 3.7 million businesses is a read-only enrichment layer, not user-owned CRM data. It does not migrate as Accounts or Contacts. We extract these records as enrichment context files and flag them separately during scoping. The customer retains Lime Go for prospecting enrichment or selects a Salesforce-native enrichment provider (Data Cloud, DiscoverORG, Clearbit) post-migration. This prevents customers from expecting 3.7 million records to populate their Salesforce org.

Lime Go

Sales Pipeline

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Record Type + Sales Process

lossy
Fully supported

Lime Go's configurable pipeline stages map to a Salesforce Record Type on Opportunity with a corresponding Sales Process that whitelists the stage values. Stage order, names, and probability percentages migrate from Lime Go's pipeline configuration to Salesforce StageName and StageProbability. Lime Go's single pipeline maps to one Record Type; additional pipelines would require additional Record Types and Page Layouts.

Lime Go

Deal

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Deals linked to Customers map to Salesforce Opportunity with AccountId resolved, OwnerId matched by email, and RecordTypeId assigned from the pipeline configuration. Deal value, expected close date, stage (mapped via pipeline configuration), and custom fields preserve. Historical stage movements and closed-lost/closed-won timestamps migrate as Opportunity Field History records if Salesforce Shield is enabled.

Lime Go

Activity

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Task and Event

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Activities (touchpoints logged between users and records) map to Salesforce Task for call logs and to-dos, and Event for scheduled meetings. Activity type, timestamp, subject, body, and linked Contact or Customer WhoId/WhatId resolve during migration. We use Bulk API 2.0 for large activity volumes with parent-record lookup resolution.

Lime Go

Task

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Tasks migrate to Salesforce Task with assignee (OwnerId resolved by email match), due date (ActivityDate), status (Status), and priority preserved. Batch action limitations in Lime Go do not affect migration; each Task migrates individually. Task ownership resolves via the User mapping established during scoping.

Lime Go

Reminder

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go Reminders attached to Contacts, Customers, or Deals map to Salesforce Task records with the reminder timestamp preserved as ActivityDate and a custom reminder_type__c field distinguishing them from standard tasks. Recurring reminders migrate as individual Task records with a recurrence pattern field added.

Lime Go

History Note

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Task (Log a Call) or Note

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go History Notes (chronological interaction records per Customer or Contact) migrate to Salesforce Task with TaskSubtype = Log a Call for timestamped activities, or Salesforce Note for freeform annotated entries. Author, timestamp, full note text, and any linked attachments preserve. Note body migrates as rich text.

Lime Go

Document

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

ContentDocument (via Salesforce Files)

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go documents attached to Customers, Contacts, or Deals migrate as Salesforce Files (ContentDocument and ContentVersion records). We extract files from Lime Go storage, upload to Salesforce, and link via ContentDocumentLink to the corresponding Account, Contact, or Opportunity. Large binary files may require chunked upload handling. File names and original upload timestamps preserve in Salesforce metadata.

Lime Go

Custom Fields

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

Lime Go custom fields on Customers, Contacts, and Deals vary by tenant. We discover the tenant schema during scoping, map field types (text, number, date, picklist) to Salesforce field types (Text, Number, Date, Picklist), and create the destination custom fields via metadata API before record import. Unmapped field types are flagged in the scoping document for the customer admin to review.

Lime Go

Tags

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Multi-Select Picklist or Label

lossy
Mapping required

Lime Go tags applied across Customers, Contacts, and Deals migrate as flat label arrays. We map them to Salesforce multi-select picklist fields on the respective objects, or to a custom Tag__c junction object with lookup relationships if the customer prefers normalized tagging. The customer chooses the tag strategy during scoping.

Lime Go

GDPR Consent Records

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Fields on Contact/Account

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go consent history (granted, withdrawn, timestamps, and external sharing flags) migrates as custom Contact and Account fields to maintain GDPR compliance posture in Salesforce. We preserve the full consent timeline as structured custom fields: consent_source__c, consent_granted_date__c, consent_withdrawn_date__c, and data_retention_policy__c. This is critical for Nordic customers subject to GDPR and Swedish data protection law.

Lime Go

Owner/User

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

User

1:1
Fully supported

Lime Go users referenced on Customers, Contacts, Deals, Activities, and Tasks map to Salesforce User records by email match. We extract every distinct owner from Lime Go records during scoping, cross-reference against the destination Salesforce org's User table, and hold any unmatched owners in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Lime Go lacks a publicly documented REST API with rate limits

    Lime Go does not publish a comprehensive public REST API reference with rate limits, which is the standard that most migration tools expect. The n8n integration page shows generic HTTP authentication support (OAuth1/OAuth2, Basic, Header, Query auth) via HTTP Request nodes, but no granular endpoint documentation exists publicly. We handle this by using Lime Go's export capabilities and generic API endpoints discovered during scoping, implementing conservative request pacing with retry logic to avoid triggering undocumented throttling. This adds discovery time to the scoping phase compared to platforms with open APIs.

  • Nordic enrichment database does not migrate as CRM records

    Lime Go's built-in Nordic company database of 3.7 million businesses is a read-only enrichment layer, not user-owned CRM data. It does not transfer as Contacts or Accounts. We extract these records as enrichment context and flag them separately during scoping so customers understand that prospecting enrichment data persists only if the destination CRM has its own enrichment provider or if they retain Lime Go for that specific purpose. Failure to communicate this upfront leads to expectations of a populated Salesforce org that does not materialize.

  • Email-to-record associations require reconstruction

    Lime Go users report that integrations with email clients are weak, forcing manual email logging against CRM records. This means email associations in Lime Go may be inconsistent or manually maintained rather than system-tracked. During migration, we audit existing email-to-record links and reconstruct those associations in Salesforce where native email sync (Outlook/Gmail connector) is available. Without explicit reconstruction, email association history can silently disappear and not be discovered until post-migration.

  • Saved Filters have no stable exportable schema

    Lime Go Saved Filters are user-specific query configurations that do not have a stable, exportable schema and are not transferable across CRM platforms. We do not migrate them; users recreate them in Salesforce as List Views or Report filters post-migration. This is a manual step that we document in the migration handoff package, but it is not automated during data transfer.

  • Commenting structure lacks nested replies and does not map directly to Salesforce Chatter

    Lime Go's commenting system lacks nested reply threads, making collaborative note-taking flatter than Salesforce's Chatter feed model. Migrating comments as-is into Salesforce Notes preserves the content but loses the chronological thread context that Lime Go users relied on. Alternatively, migrating as Chatter Posts creates a threaded model that does not match Lime Go's original structure. We present both options to the customer during scoping and let them choose the preferred representation.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Lime Go to Salesforce Sales Cloud data migration

  1. Discovery and scoping

    We audit the source Lime Go tenant across record counts (Customers, Contacts, Deals, Activities, Tasks, Documents), custom field schema, pipeline configuration, tag taxonomy, GDPR consent field structure, and user count. We also document the Lime Go API access path (OAuth1/OAuth2/Basic/Header auth via HTTP Request nodes) and estimate the conservative pacing required for extraction. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a record-count estimate, and a Lime Go API access verification test.

  2. Schema design and enrichment flagging

    We design the destination schema in Salesforce. This includes provisioning custom fields on Account, Contact, and Opportunity (mapped from Lime Go custom fields), configuring the Opportunity Record Type and Sales Process from Lime Go pipeline stages, creating GDPR consent custom fields on Contact and Account, and designing the enrichment context flagging for the 3.7M Nordic database records. Schema is deployed via metadata API into a Salesforce Sandbox first for validation. We also configure the Salesforce User provisioning checklist for owner reconciliation.

  3. Sandbox migration and reconciliation

    We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) using production-like data volume. The customer's sales operations lead reconciles record counts (Accounts in, Contacts in, Opportunities in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against Lime Go source data, and validates the GDPR consent timeline on a sample of Contacts. They sign off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Mapping corrections happen in the Sandbox, not in production.

  4. Owner reconciliation and User provisioning

    We extract every distinct Lime Go user referenced on Customer, Contact, Deal, Activity, and Task records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Owners without a matching User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard objects and Activity records.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated), Accounts (from Lime Go Customers), Contacts (with AccountId resolved and GDPR consent fields populated), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), Activities and Tasks (via Bulk API 2.0 with parent-record lookup resolution), Documents (as Salesforce Files with ContentDocumentLink), and Tags (as multi-select picklist or custom Tag object). The enrichment context file for Nordic database records is generated separately and delivered as a data file for the customer's chosen enrichment provider. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.

  6. Cutover, validation, and Saved Filter rebuild handoff

    We freeze Lime Go 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 Saved Filter inventory document and the enrichment context file to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Lime Go workflows or automations in Salesforce; that is a separate engagement. Email sync configuration (Outlook/Gmail connector installation and OAuth setup) is also outside migration scope and is handled by the customer's admin team or a Salesforce onboarding partner.

Strengths

  • Built-in Nordic company database with 3.7 million enriched business records for instant prospecting.
  • Visual adjustable sales pipeline with clear stage-by-stage deal tracking and team performance views.
  • User-friendly interface that sales teams adopt rapidly without extensive onboarding or training costs.
  • GDPR-compliant features including anonymisation, consent history tracking, and external data sharing controls.
  • Competitive pricing model with €40/user/month positioned below enterprise CRM alternatives for scaling Nordic teams.

Weaknesses

  • Limited third-party integrations require manual email logging and create data silos across communication channels.
  • No native project management capabilities—insufficient for teams needing CRM plus project tracking in one tool.
  • Batch task operations unavailable—users cannot group-select and update multiple reminders simultaneously.
  • Commenting system lacks nested replies, restricting collaborative note structure and team discussion depth.
  • No publicly documented API rate limits or comprehensive public REST API reference, complicating automated migration tooling.

Strengths

  • Largest enterprise app ecosystem in CRM with 5,000+ AppExchange integrations covering nearly every vertical workflow.
  • Native Einstein AI delivers lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting without a third-party layer.
  • Advanced territory management, multi-currency, and flexible forecasting satisfy complex B2B revenue structures.
  • Deep platform extensibility: Custom Objects, Apex, Flow, and the Metadata API allow full schema customization.
  • Well-documented REST API, Bulk API, and Composite API with published rate limits for programmatic migration.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is layered and opaque in practice: per-seat fees plus storage overages, add-on subscriptions, and annual uplifts compound to 30–40% above sticker price.
  • Workflow Rules and Process Builder are deprecated, forcing all orgs onto Salesforce Flow — a migration task that catches many teams by surprise.
  • Steep administrative complexity: meaningful configuration requires a dedicated Salesforce admin or consultant.
  • API rate limits are edition-gated (100k/day base for Enterprise) and easily exhausted by large historical imports without throttling.
  • Data export is exportable via Data Loader but preserving relationship integrity across 30+ objects requires careful ETL sequencing.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 15,000 Contacts and 3,000 Deals with no custom objects and a straightforward pipeline configuration. Migrations with large activity histories (over 200,000 engagement records), complex GDPR consent timelines, multiple custom field sets, or requirement to separate the enrichment layer move to eight to twelve weeks because of discovery depth, enrichment flagging, and Bulk API sequencing for activity records. Lime Go's undocumented API requires additional scoping time compared to platforms with published endpoints.
