Overview
Moving from MobileAction to Salesforce is a domain shift, not a like-for-like CRM replacement. MobileAction is a purpose-built ASO and Apple Search Ads intelligence platform whose data model — Tracked Apps, Keyword Rankings, Competitor Benchmarks, Campaign Structures, CPP metadata, and Ad Creatives — has no native equivalent in Salesforce's standard CRM schema. We migrate this data into Salesforce Custom Objects with typed fields, preserve the provenance tag on all third-party modeled estimates (keyword volume, download counts, revenue projections), and resolve MobileAction's user-curated Competitor Sets as named Custom Object records. MobileAction's SearchAds.com automation rules (bid and budget rules with named goal categories) do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of each rule's conditions and a recommended Salesforce Flow equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild. We use MobileAction's Dashboard API with cursor-based pagination and chunking for large keyword histories, and write into Salesforce via REST and Bulk API with parent-record lookup resolution on the app associations.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a MobileAction 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.
MobileAction
Tracked Apps
Salesforce Sales Cloud
App__c (custom object)
1:1MobileAction's tracked app list (app ID, name, store, visibility score, estimated downloads, estimated revenue) maps to a Salesforce custom object we provision as App__c. App store platform (App Store / Google Play) maps to a picklist field; visibility_score__c maps to a number field with the original MobileAction scale preserved. Estimated download and revenue fields carry an is_modeled__c flag set to true, pointing to MobileAction as the estimation source.
MobileAction
Keywords
Salesforce Sales Cloud
App_Keyword__c (custom object)
1:1MobileAction keyword tracking data (keyword, country, app ID, ranking_position, search_volume_est, difficulty_score) maps to App_Keyword__c with a lookup relationship to App__c. Ranking position migrates as integer rows per date. Search volume estimates and difficulty scores carry is_modeled__c = true. We chunk keyword exports by country and date range to handle cursor-based pagination without timeouts on accounts with hundreds of thousands of keyword rows.
MobileAction
Keyword Ranking History
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Keyword_Ranking__c (custom object)
1:1Daily or weekly ranking snapshots export from MobileAction as dated rows per keyword-app-country. We flatten these into Keyword_Ranking__c records with ranking_date__c, position__c, and a lookup to App_Keyword__c. This is the highest-volume dataset in the migration; we batch exports by 90-day windows and write into Salesforce via Bulk API to avoid API timeout errors.
MobileAction
Competitor Benchmarks
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Competitor_App__c (custom object)
1:1MobileAction's competitor visibility scores and ranked keyword lists export per user-curated competitor set. We preserve the competitor set name as a text field (competitor_set_name__c) and migrate each competitor app as a Competitor_App__c record with visibility_score__c and keyword_count__c. The destination does not automatically replicate the same competitive coverage; we deliver a named list document so the customer's admin can extend the set post-migration.
MobileAction
Apple Search Ads Campaigns
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Apple_Ads_Campaign__c (custom object)
1:1SearchAds.com campaign structures export from MobileAction's campaign management modules. We map campaign_name__c, campaign_status__c, campaign_budget__c, campaign_goal_type__c (6 named goal categories from MobileAction), and campaign_start_date__c into Apple_Ads_Campaign__c with a lookup to App__c. Ad group assignments and keyword-to-campaign mappings migrate as separate Apple_Ads_Ad_Group__c records with a lookup to the campaign.
MobileAction
Ad Groups
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Apple_Ads_Ad_Group__c (custom object)
1:1Ad groups within each SearchAds.com campaign migrate as Apple_Ads_Ad_Group__c with a lookup to Apple_Ads_Campaign__c. Ad group name, status, default bid, and match type map to custom fields. Keywords within each ad group migrate as Apple_Ads_Keyword__c with a lookup to Apple_Ads_Ad_Group__c.
MobileAction
Automation Rules
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Flow (documented, not migrated)
lossyMobileAction SearchAds.com automated bid and budget rules export as structured condition blocks with named goal categories. We deliver a written inventory of each rule's trigger conditions, bid adjustments, and goal type mapping with a recommended Salesforce Flow equivalent. Rules do not migrate as code because SearchAds.com rule semantics do not map to Salesforce Flow triggers; the customer's admin or a certified Salesforce partner rebuilds them post-migration.
MobileAction
Custom Product Pages
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentWorkspace + CPP_Variant__c (custom object)
1:1CPP metadata (page ID, app association, screenshot URLs, promotional text, video URL, associated keywords) exports via MobileAction's CPP Intelligence API. We create a ContentWorkspace record per app and migrate CPP metadata into CPP_Variant__c with screenshot_url__c, video_url__c, and keywords__c as text fields. The raw creative files are URL references — if the URLs point to MobileAction infrastructure, we flag them for re-hosting before insert.
MobileAction
Ad Creatives
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Ad_Creative__c (custom object)
1:1Creative asset references (creative ID, impression share, performance signals) map to Ad_Creative__c with a lookup to Apple_Ads_Campaign__c or Apple_Ads_Ad_Group__c. MobileAction stores creative files as URLs, not binary blobs. We export the URL reference and flag any that were hosted on MobileAction infrastructure for re-hosting or re-linking before account cancellation.
MobileAction
App Intelligence Metrics
Salesforce Sales Cloud
App_Intelligence__c (custom object)
1:1Estimated downloads, revenue, and market share figures export with an explicit estimation_provenance__c tag set to MobileAction and an is_modeled__c flag set to true. We map these into App_Intelligence__c with period_start__c, period_end__c, estimated_downloads__c, estimated_revenue__c, and market_share__c fields. Downstream analysts apply their own confidence weighting using the provenance tag.
MobileAction
Dashboard Settings
Salesforce Sales Cloud
App_Settings__c (custom object)
1:1User-level settings (tracked countries, notification preferences, team member assignments) export as configuration blobs. Schema varies by plan tier, so we flag any settings fields that were plan-gated and document whether they require a plan upgrade to export. Settings migrate as JSON or key-value pairs stored in a Long Text Area field for manual reconstruction in Salesforce.
MobileAction
Tracked Countries
Salesforce Sales Cloud
App_Country__c (custom object)
1:1The list of countries tracked per app in MobileAction migrates as App_Country__c with a lookup to App__c and country_code__c as a text field. This preserves the per-app country scope from MobileAction and ensures the destination reflects which markets were being monitored without requiring manual reconfiguration in Salesforce.

Migration approach
Plan tier verification and API scoping
We audit the customer's MobileAction account plan tier (Lite, Pro, or Enterprise) to determine API rate limits and data volume caps for each object in scope. We use the Dashboard API's app list endpoint to enumerate all tracked apps and verify the keyword history depth available for export. If the plan tier restricts export volume, we negotiate a temporary upgrade or data export window with the customer before proceeding. We also document any SearchAds.com campaign structures visible in the account so the campaign mapping scope is complete before schema design begins.
Destination schema design and custom object provisioning
We design the Salesforce destination schema before any data moves. This includes provisioning custom objects (App__c, App_Keyword__c, Keyword_Ranking__c, Competitor_App__c, Apple_Ads_Campaign__c, Apple_Ads_Ad_Group__c, Apple_Ads_Keyword__c, CPP_Variant__c, Ad_Creative__c, App_Intelligence__c, App_Country__c, App_Settings__c), defining all custom fields with Salesforce field types matched to MobileAction data types, creating lookup relationships between objects, and deploying the schema into a Salesforce Sandbox via metadata API for validation. The customer reviews and approves the schema before production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-equivalent data volumes. The customer's ASO or growth team reconciles record counts (apps imported, keyword rows inserted, competitor entries migrated, campaign structures built), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the MobileAction source, and verifies that lookup relationships resolved correctly. Any mapping corrections or field-type adjustments happen in the Sandbox, not in production. The customer signs off the sandbox migration before we proceed to production.
Keyword history chunking and Bulk API export
MobileAction's Dashboard API returns paginated keyword data per object. For accounts with hundreds of thousands of keyword ranking snapshots across multiple countries, we implement cursor-based pagination loops and chunk exports into 90-day batches to avoid API timeouts. We write keyword ranking history into Salesforce via Bulk API 2.0, using App_Keyword__c as the parent record for each Keyword_Ranking__c insert. We set the Bulk API job concurrency to moderate to stay within undocumented rate floors and avoid throttling during extended export runs.
Campaign and CPP metadata migration
SearchAds.com campaign and ad group structures export from MobileAction's SearchAds.com modules. We create Apple_Ads_Campaign__c and Apple_Ads_Ad_Group__c records with the campaign hierarchy resolved and goal type labels preserved from MobileAction. CPP metadata from the CPP Intelligence API migrates into ContentWorkspace records with CPP_Variant__c records carrying the page metadata. Creative URL references migrate into Ad_Creative__c; we flag any MobileAction-hosted URLs for re-hosting before production cutover.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze new writes in MobileAction during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified since the last export batch, then deliver the migration completion report. We deliver the automation rule inventory document to the customer's admin team with recommended Salesforce Flow equivalents. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild SearchAds.com automation rules or CPP optimization rules inside the migration scope; that work is a separate engagement.
