Overview
Moving from OneSuite to Salesforce Sales Cloud is a structural migration across two fundamentally different data models. OneSuite conflates individuals and organizations under a single Client entity; Salesforce separates Accounts (organizations) and Contacts (individuals). We pre-scan every OneSuite Client record to determine the split, create Account records first so that the AccountId lookup on Contact is satisfied at insert time, and preserve any Client-level custom field values on the correct destination field. OneSuite's missing bulk API forces us to work around the officially documented CSV and JSON import paths, chunking large datasets to avoid truncation. We do not migrate Workflows, automations, Sequences, Forms, or Reports as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Salesforce Flow.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a OneSuite 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.
OneSuite
Client
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account (organization) + Contact (individual) — split required
1:manyOneSuite's single Client entity holds both individuals and organizations. We pre-scan every Client record during discovery to classify by presence of a company name field. Clients with a company name populate Account.Name, Website, Industry, and phone; clients with only personal name fields populate Contact.FirstName, LastName, Email, and Phone. All Client-level custom fields (clientTier, clientSource) are mapped to the corresponding Account or Contact custom field by slug. Account records are created first so that the AccountId lookup on Contact is satisfied at insert time. Any Client-to-Project relationships are preserved as Account-to-Custom_Project__c lookups after the custom object is provisioned.
OneSuite
Lead
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:1OneSuite Leads map 1:1 to Salesforce Lead. Pipeline stage names from OneSuite map to Salesforce Lead Status picklist values, which we validate and extend if needed before migration. Source attribution (leadSource) and any scoring values migrate to Salesforce LeadSource and a custom lead_score__c field. The one structural difference is that converted Leads in OneSuite may carry Account or Contact associations; these associations are resolved through the Client split above.
OneSuite
Project
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Project__c object or Salesforce Project Management app
lossyOneSuite's native Project entity (with tasks, milestones, status, and dates) has no direct Salesforce standard object equivalent. We create a custom Project__c object in the destination org before migration, mapping Project.Name, status, start and end dates, and description to typed Salesforce fields. The Client-to-Project relationship is preserved by storing the OneSuite Client ID as an external ID field on Project__c and resolving the AccountId lookup at migration time. Customers with Salesforce Project Management (formerly PF) licensed can use that app as the destination instead; we flag this as a configuration choice during scoping.
OneSuite
Invoice
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Invoice__c object or Salesforce Orders
lossySalesforce has no standard Invoice object. We evaluate the customer's invoice complexity during discovery: simple single-currency invoices with line items map to Salesforce Orders; complex multi-currency, tax-configuration-heavy invoices map to a custom Invoice__c object with custom line item and tax fields. Stripe and Quickpay payment integration from OneSuite does not migrate; we flag payment gateway reconfiguration as a post-migration step.
OneSuite
Document
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument
1:1OneSuite Documents (associated with Clients or Projects) map to Salesforce ContentDocument. Document name, type, and URL migrate as metadata fields. Binary content requires file export via OneSuite's UI because no bulk API is available; we chunk files to avoid timeout and pre-validate that individual files are under the 25 MB UI import ceiling. ContentDocumentLink records are created to attach each document to the resolved Account or Project.
OneSuite
File
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument
1:1OneSuite Files attached to Projects, Tasks, or Invoices migrate to Salesforce ContentDocument with the same ContentDocumentLink attachment pattern. We pre-scan total file volume against OneSuite's plan storage cap (30 GB Freelancer, 60 GB Growing Agency) and flag any account exceeding the cap before migration so that binary content is handled as a post-migration step while metadata and URLs migrate on schedule.
OneSuite
Custom Fields
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom fields on Account, Contact, Lead, Project__c
lossyOneSuite's API returns custom fields flattened directly onto the entity with their original slug as the property key. A field named 'client-tier' appears as clientTier on the Client record, not nested under a customFields object. We detect all custom field slugs during discovery, create the equivalent __c fields in Salesforce during schema design, and remap each slug value during transform. If a destination field does not yet exist, we flag it for creation before the migration run begins.
OneSuite
Member
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1OneSuite Members (team users assigned to Projects, Clients, and Invoices) map to Salesforce User records resolved by email match. Member-to-Project and Member-to-Client assignment relationships migrate to a custom Assignment__c junction object with lookups to User and the relevant parent record. Owners without a matching Salesforce User are held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.
OneSuite
Template
Salesforce Sales Cloud
EmailTemplate + Custom Proposal__c object
1:1OneSuite Project and Document templates carry metadata and field structure. We map template metadata to Salesforce EmailTemplate (for email-based templates) or to a custom Proposal__c object (for proposal and document templates). Template automation logic, auto-assignment rules, and workflow triggers cannot be replicated automatically; we document the full template logic in the handoff inventory for the admin to rebuild in Salesforce Flow.
OneSuite
Pipeline Stage
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead Status picklist values
lossyOneSuite's user-defined Lead pipeline stages migrate to Salesforce Lead Status picklist values. We extract the full stage list (names, order, and any probability mappings) during discovery, validate them against the destination org's picklist, and extend the picklist with any new values before Lead migration. Stages with custom automation or scoring rules are flagged for manual reconfiguration in Salesforce Flow.
OneSuite
Engagement: Call, Email, Meeting, Note, Task
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task + Event + EmailMessage + Note
1:1OneSuite stores engagement history on Client records. Calls map to Salesforce Task with TaskSubtype=Call and CallDurationInSeconds; emails map to Salesforce EmailMessage linked to a Task; meetings map to Salesforce Event with start and end time preserved; notes map to Salesforce Note linked via ContentDocumentLink. Activity timestamps are preserved as ActivityDate on the Salesforce records. We use the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 for large engagement volumes with batch chunking and parent-record lookup resolution.
OneSuite
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Multi-select picklist or Topic
lossyOneSuite tags stored as multi-checkbox properties on Clients, Projects, or Leads migrate to Salesforce multi-select picklist fields on the corresponding object. Tags used for content or classification purposes migrate to Salesforce Topics with TopicAssignment records. The customer selects the tag strategy during scoping based on how tags are consumed in reporting.

API custom field flattening requires slug-aware remapping
Lead count capped on lower tiers may require plan upgrade before migration
Salesforce Sales Cloud gotchas
Workflow Rules and Process Builder are retired
Bulk API batch quota exhaustion during large imports
Storage overage billing is non-obvious

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scope extraction
We extract the full data inventory from OneSuite: all Client, Project, Lead, Invoice, Document, File, Member, and Template records. We pre-scan storage usage against the plan cap, enumerate lead count against the 10,000 threshold, catalog all custom field slugs, and inventory pipeline stages. For Salesforce, we confirm the target edition (Essential for up to 10 users, Professional for standard features, Enterprise for advanced reporting and Flow, Unlimited for full support coverage), identify whether a custom Project__c object or the Salesforce Project Management app is in scope, and decide on the Invoice approach (custom object, Orders API, or CPQ). The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, custom field inventory, and a Salesforce edition recommendation.
Schema design and custom field mapping
We design the Salesforce destination schema in a Sandbox: custom __c fields are created to match every OneSuite custom field slug; the Client split rule (Account vs Contact) is documented with examples from the source data; the Lead Status picklist is extended with any OneSuite pipeline stage names not already present; and the Project__c custom object is created with fields matching the OneSuite Project schema. We also configure field-level security on all custom fields to allow the migration user write access. Schema is deployed via Salesforce metadata API into the Sandbox first for validation before any production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer reviews record counts across all objects (Clients in vs Accounts+Contacts out, Leads in vs Leads out, Projects in vs Project__c records out), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the OneSuite source, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any custom field mismatches, incorrect splits, or picklist validation failures surface here and are corrected before production.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct OneSuite Member referenced on any record and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Members without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original OneSuite user is still active). Migration cannot proceed past the record import phase because OwnerId references are required on most standard objects and validation rules will reject records with invalid owners.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated), Accounts (from Clients with company names), Contacts (from Clients without company names, with AccountId resolved), Leads (with Status mapped), Project__c records (with AccountId lookup resolved), Documents and Files via ContentDocument and ContentDocumentLink (with file chunking for the no-bulk-API constraint), Invoices or Orders (with line items), then Activities via Bulk API 2.0 with parent-record resolution. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Custom field values are written in the same phase as their parent record to ensure they are present at insert time.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze OneSuite 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 Workflow, Sequence, and Template automation inventory document listing every OneSuite automation with its trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Salesforce Flow equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any record reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild OneSuite automations as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
