Overview
Onpipeline organizes its sales process around Deals linked to Contacts and optionally Companies, while Freshsales uses a Lead-Contact-Account model with Opportunities as the deal object. The migration requires resolving this structural difference: we map Onpipeline Deals directly to Freshsales Deals, Onpipeline Companies to Freshsales Accounts, and preserve the Deal-to-Contact association through Freshsales Deal-to-Contact lookups. Invoice history migrates as records but recurring invoice automation configurations require manual setup at the destination. Quotes transfer with their line items and e-signature status intact. Activity history (Events, Tasks, Notes) migrates to Freshsales Tasks and Events with owner attribution preserved. Onpipeline's custom fields map to Freshsales custom fields, and tags translate to Labels. Workflows, automations, and web form integrations do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Freshsales.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Onpipeline object lands in Freshsales, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Onpipeline
Contact
Freshsales
Contact (or Lead)
1:1Onpipeline Contacts migrate to Freshsales Contacts by default. If the customer uses a lead qualification process, we create a Freshsales Lead for unqualified prospects and a Contact for qualified ones based on criteria defined during scoping. Email, phone, address, and custom field properties migrate directly. Tags become Freshsales Labels. We resolve any Company linkage and attach the Contact to the corresponding Freshsales Account after Accounts are imported.
Onpipeline
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1Onpipeline Companies map to Freshsales Accounts. The company name becomes Account Name, domain becomes Website, and address fields map to billing address fields. Account is imported before Contact so that the Account-Customer lookup relationship is satisfied at the time of Contact insert. Multiple Contacts can link to a single Account, preserving Onpipeline's one-to-many Contact-to-Company relationship.
Onpipeline
Deal
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Onpipeline Deals map to Freshsales Deals directly. Deal name, value, stage, probability, and expected close date migrate. The Deal-to-Contact association migrates as a Deal-Customer link in Freshsales, and if the Contact has a linked Account, the Deal-to-Account relationship is established through the Contact lookup. Custom fields on Deal migrate as Freshsales custom properties. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won status transitions are preserved as Deal status values.
Onpipeline
Pipeline Stage
Freshsales
Deal Stage
lossyOnpipeline custom stage names and probabilities map to Freshsales Deal stage values. We capture the full stage hierarchy from Onpipeline and configure matching stage values in Freshsales before migration. Stage probabilities migrate as percentage values. If Onpipeline has more stages than Freshsales default stages, we create additional stage values during schema configuration. Each stage maps to a specific Freshsales status: Open, Won, or Lost.
Onpipeline
Product
Freshsales
Product
1:1Onpipeline Products (name, SKU, price, stock quantity) migrate to Freshsales Products. Stock quantity migrates as inventory tracking data if the destination Freshsales plan supports inventory management. Price information becomes the standard price on the Product record. Products are imported before Quotes and Invoices so that line items can reference valid Product IDs.
Onpipeline
Quote
Freshsales
Quote
1:1Onpipeline Quotes migrate to Freshsales Quotes. Quote headers (quote number, date, expiration, status) map to Freshsales Quote fields. Line items map with product reference, quantity, unit price, and discount. E-signature status migrates as a custom field since Freshsales Quotes support PDF export but e-signature integrations are typically third-party or Freshsales CRM Suite features.
Onpipeline
Invoice
Freshsales
Invoice
1:1Onpipeline Invoices migrate as Freshsales Invoice records. Invoice headers, line items, payment status, and totals map directly. Payment status values (paid, unpaid, partial, overdue) migrate to corresponding Freshsales Invoice status values. Recurring invoice configurations are noted in the migration inventory but automated generation requires manual setup in Freshsales Workflows post-migration.
Onpipeline
Activities (Events, Tasks, Notes)
Freshsales
Tasks and Events
1:1Onpipeline Events (calendar appointments) migrate to Freshsales Events with start time, end time, assigned user, and description. Tasks migrate as Freshsales Tasks with due date, status, priority, and assignment. Notes migrate as Task notes or descriptions. Each activity record retains its owner attribution by resolving the Onpipeline user to the corresponding Freshsales user.
Onpipeline
Custom Fields
Freshsales
Custom Fields
1:1Onpipeline custom fields on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Products migrate as Freshsales custom fields. We extract the custom field schema during discovery and create matching custom field definitions in Freshsales before data migration begins. Field types are mapped: text to text, number to number, date to date, dropdown to picklist. Custom field dependencies and conditional logic do not transfer.
Onpipeline
User
Freshsales
User
1:1Onpipeline Users cannot be imported into Freshsales via the API. Freshsales requires manual user creation through the admin interface. We extract the full user roster (name, email, role) from Onpipeline during discovery and provide a user mapping table. The customer's Freshsales admin creates corresponding users before migration. We then resolve owner assignments on Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Activities by matching the Onpipeline user email to the newly created Freshsales user.

Migration approach
Discovery and user roster extraction
We audit the Onpipeline account across all plans, extracting Contacts, Companies, Deals, Pipeline Stages, Products, Quotes, Invoices, Activities, custom field definitions, and user roster. We ask specifically for trial expiration dates to prioritize at-risk accounts. We provide the customer with a user creation checklist for Freshsales based on the extracted user roster. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, a custom field inventory, and a Freshsales plan recommendation based on the feature requirements identified.
Schema configuration in Freshsales
We create the Freshsales custom field schema to match the Onpipeline custom field definitions extracted during discovery. Pipeline stages are configured as Freshsales Deal stage values with matching probabilities. Tags from Onpipeline are mapped to Freshsales Labels. We configure the Freshsales plan tier requirement based on the migration scope: Growth ($9/user) covers most migrations, but Pro ($39/user) is recommended if the customer requires multiple sales pipelines or advanced workflow automation.
User provisioning and owner reconciliation
The customer creates Freshsales users manually using the roster we provided. We validate that each Onpipeline Owner has a corresponding Freshsales User by email match. Owners without a matching Freshsales User enter a reconciliation queue. The customer resolves the queue before record migration begins. This step is mandatory because OwnerId references on Accounts, Contacts, Deals, and Activities must resolve at insert time.
Staging migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Freshsales staging environment using representative data volume. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks field values, and reviews the Deal-Contact-Account relationship integrity. Any mapping corrections are made before production migration. This step validates the pipeline stage configuration, custom field mapping, and label translation without risking production data.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Companies), Products, Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Deals (with Contact-Customer link and stage values), Quotes (with line items and product references), Invoices (with line items), and Activity history (Tasks and Events with owner attribution). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We implement Freshsales API rate limit handling with exponential backoff based on the subscribed plan tier.
Cutover, validation, and rebuild handoff
We freeze Onpipeline writes during the cutover window and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration period. We validate that Deals are correctly linked to Contacts and that Contacts are linked to Accounts. We deliver the automation inventory document listing Onpipeline Workflows and recurring invoice schedules requiring rebuild in Freshsales Workflows. We do not rebuild workflows or automate recurring invoice logic as part of the standard migration scope.
