Overview
Moving from Omni.us to Salesforce is a structural migration that requires rebuilding the contact layer from scratch. Omni.us stores outreach sequences (Scripts), target accounts, and responses, but it does not maintain a standalone Contacts object—contact data lives only inside script-account-response relationships. Salesforce expects Contacts and Accounts as first-class objects with explicit lookup relationships. We trace each Response to its associated Script and Account to reconstruct the Contact, handle the 60 req/min API throttle on the Omni side with exponential backoff and batch chunking, and map Case Studies to Salesforce Notes or a custom object. Automatic Pausing rules convert to Salesforce Flow triggers. We do not migrate Omni.us workflows, automations, or engagement activity because Omni does not expose a native Activities object in its API. We deliver a written inventory of your Script structure and pausing rules for your admin to rebuild inside Salesforce.
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 Omni.us 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.
Omni.us
Script
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note or Custom Object (Scripts__c)
lossyOmni Scripts contain outreach sequence text, placeholders, and branching logic. Salesforce has no native Script object. We preserve the full script body as a Salesforce Note or a custom Scripts__c object (depending on whether the customer wants to rebuild sequences inside Sales Engagement or reference scripts manually). Script placeholders map to Salesforce Contact fields (FirstName, LastName, Email) and Account fields via a placeholder token map built during discovery.
Omni.us
Target Account
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Omni Target Accounts (company-level records with name, domain, and firmographic data) map directly to Salesforce Account. Company name maps to Account.Name; domain maps to Account.Website; industry, employee count, and revenue from Omni custom workbook fields map to equivalent Salesforce standard or custom fields. Account is the parent record for all Contact imports and must be written first.
Omni.us
Response
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task + Contact (reconstructed)
1:manyOmni Responses are reply records tied to a Script and a Target Account but contain no standalone contact data. We reconstruct the Contact layer by extracting respondent email, name, and phone from the Response payload and linking it to the associated Account. Each Response becomes a Task (with subject, body, and timestamp) linked to the reconstructed Contact and Account. Responses that contain no contact data become Tasks attached to the Account only.
Omni.us
Case Study
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note or ContentDocument
1:1Omni Case Studies are content attachments linked to accounts or scripts. Salesforce has no native Case Study object. We export the text content and metadata and map it to Salesforce Note records attached via ContentDocumentLink to the relevant Account or Contact. If the customer wants a dedicated Case Study record type, we create a custom CaseStudy__c object during schema design.
Omni.us
Automatic Pausing Rule
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Flow
lossyOmni Automatic Pausing rules govern when outreach sequences pause based on prospect actions (reply, bounce, meeting booked). These are logic rules, not data records. We document each active pausing rule as a written specification with its trigger condition and action, then recommend the equivalent Salesforce Flow record-triggered automation (such as a Decision element checking EmailMessage status or Event creation). The admin rebuilds inside Flow; we do not migrate workflow logic as code.
Omni.us
Custom Workbook Field
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field (standard or custom object)
1:1Omni workbook custom fields (schema, shared, and workbook layers) are discovered via the model IDE before migration. We enumerate all active custom fields and their types, then map each to a Salesforce standard field (if one matches) or a custom field (__c) on the appropriate object. Duration fields and calculated fields require transformation logic during import. A pre-migration field audit is run against the Omni model to enumerate the full custom field inventory.
Omni.us
User / Seat
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Omni user records map to Salesforce User records by email match. Role and permission structures in Omni are minimal, so we create baseline User records without granular access control preservation. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions the matching User records before migration begins, or we use the Salesforce API to create Users with the System Administrator profile as a baseline.
Omni.us
Target Account Domain
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account Website + Custom Domain Field
lossyOmni Target Accounts store a company domain field. We map this to Account.Website (with https:// prepended if absent) and also create a custom Text field omni_domain__c on Account to preserve the raw domain for deduplication against other account sources.
Omni.us
Script Placeholder
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact Field via Token Map
lossyOmni Scripts use placeholders (such as {{first_name}} or {{company}}) that reference contact and account fields. During migration, we build a token map that links each unique placeholder token to a Salesforce Contact or Account field. When the customer rebuilds sequences in Salesforce Sales Engagement or a custom Flow, they reference this token map to wire the correct field merge.
Omni.us
Response Timestamp
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task ActivityDate
1:1Omni Response records include a timestamp for when the response was recorded. We map this to Task.ActivityDate to preserve the activity timeline ordering inside Salesforce. Responses without a timestamp are assigned the import date as ActivityDate and flagged in the reconciliation report.
Omni.us
Script Branching Logic
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Flow Decision Documentation
lossyOmni Scripts support conditional branching (different text paths based on prospect actions). Salesforce has no native script-branching model. We document the branching logic as a written decision tree and deliver a Flow diagram recommendation so the customer's admin can rebuild the branching sequence as a Salesforce Flow with Decision elements or inside Sales Engagement sequences. This is a documentation deliverable, not a code migration.
Omni.us
Account List Membership
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign or Custom Object
1:1Omni Target Accounts may belong to multiple account lists (segments). Salesforce Campaign does not naturally model B2B account lists, but it can serve as the target for Account-based marketing motions. We map list membership to Campaign with AccountIds on CampaignMember, or to a custom AccountList__c junction object if the customer needs many-to-many account-list relationships. The customer chooses during scoping.
Omni.us
Engagement Activity (not present in Omni)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Not migratable
1:1Omni.us does not expose a native Activities object in its API. Call logs, email opens, and meeting records that exist only inside Omni's internal sequence tracking are not accessible for export. We cannot migrate historical engagement data that Omni tracks internally but does not surface via API. We flag this gap in the pre-migration discovery report and recommend that the customer export any needed engagement history from Omni before the migration window begins.

Migration approach
Discovery and schema audit
We audit the Omni.us workspace across Scripts (count, placeholder inventory, branching logic), Target Accounts, Responses (volume, field coverage, respondent data completeness), Case Studies, Automatic Pausing rules, and custom workbook field definitions via the model IDE. We pair this with a Salesforce destination scoping call covering the target edition (Professional at $80/user or Enterprise at $165/user), existing org schema, and the customer's preferred script rebuild strategy. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a Salesforce schema design document, and the Contact reconstruction rule (which Response fields map to Contact fields).
Contact reconstruction rule and token map design
We define the Contact reconstruction rule: which Response fields map to Contact.FirstName, Contact.LastName, Contact.Email, Contact.Phone, and Account. We also build the script placeholder token map linking each Omni placeholder to a Salesforce field. These two artifacts drive the transformation logic used in every subsequent data phase. Any Response without an email address is flagged for Account-only Task creation. Duplicates (same email across multiple Responses) are merged into a single Contact record.
Omni API export with rate-limit throttling
We export Scripts, Target Accounts, Responses, Case Studies, and custom workbook field data from Omni using the REST API with exponential backoff and batch chunking. The 60 req/min rate limit is handled by distributing reads across available API keys and inserting delay intervals between requests. For datasets over 10,000 records, we run the export in parallel with the Salesforce schema setup so that both tracks complete within the same window. All exported data lands in a staging environment with a manifest showing record counts per object.
Salesforce schema setup and sandbox validation
We deploy the destination schema into a Salesforce Sandbox: custom fields on Account and Contact (including omni_domain__c and any custom workbook field mappings), a Scripts__c or CaseStudy__c custom object if required, Record Types for Account segmentation, and the Flow documentation for Automatic Pausing rules. We run a validation migration with the exported Omni data and spot-check 25-50 records against the source. The customer signs off on field mapping and schema before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We migrate in dependency order: Accounts (from Omni Target Accounts) first, then Contacts (reconstructed from Responses with AccountId resolved), then Scripts and Case Studies as Notes or custom object records, then Tasks (from Responses with ContactId or AccountId resolved), then Automatic Pausing rule documentation. Custom workbook fields migrate last, after all parent objects are inserted. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report and any unmapped or rejected records are logged for the customer's admin to review.
Cutover, delta sync, and script rebuild handoff
We freeze Omni 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 Script inventory with placeholder token maps, the Automatic Pausing rule Flow rebuild documentation, and the Case Study content inventory. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Scripts as Salesforce Sales Engagement sequences or rebuild Automatic Pausing rules as Flow logic inside the migration scope; that work uses the delivered documentation and is handled by the customer's admin or a Salesforce partner.
