Overview
Moving from OptifiNow to Salesforce Sales Cloud requires navigating a non-public API schema, custom object extensions, and vertically-specific pipeline configurations before a single record migrates. OptifiNow stores Lead management, Contact activity logs, marketing automation sequences, and workflow definitions that vary by tenant, and the platform does not publish an OpenAPI specification or data dictionary. We begin every OptifiNow engagement with a discovery phase to enumerate the specific schema, custom objects, and relationship map before writing a migration scope. We migrate Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, Custom Objects, and engagement history (calls, emails, meetings, tasks, notes) using the Salesforce Bulk API with parent-record lookup resolution and rate-limit handling. Marketing automation sequences, workflow rules, and content scheduling metadata do not migrate as executable logic; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild. OptifiNow's white-glove onboarding fee ($1,000-$10,000+) and variable storage overage charges are eliminated in the Salesforce model, which uses per-user licensing without mandatory onboarding fees.
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.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a OptifiNow 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.
OptifiNow
Lead Management
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
lossyOptifiNow's Lead Management module stores prospects with custom status fields, routing rules, and territory assignments that differ from standard CRM lifecycle stages. We enumerate all custom lead status values during discovery and map them to Salesforce Lead Status picklist values. Territory and assignment rule metadata are documented as configuration notes for the customer's Salesforce admin to rebuild in Assignment Rules or Omni-Channel. Lead source attribution migrates to the standard Lead Source field.
OptifiNow
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1OptifiNow Contact records carry standard fields (name, email, phone) plus activity history, social collaboration data, tag associations, and tenant-specific custom fields that we enumerate during discovery. We map contact-level custom fields to Salesforce Contact custom fields (__c suffix) after the destination schema is designed. Activity history links are resolved during the engagement history phase using WhoId lookups against the migrated Contact record.
OptifiNow
Account
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1OptifiNow Account/Company records store company-level data linked to multiple contacts and opportunities. We migrate the account hierarchy and associated contacts together to preserve parent-child relationships. The Account's primary address maps to BillingAddress fields in Salesforce. Any OptifiNow custom fields on Account (industry classification, regulatory codes, tier flags) are enumerated in discovery and created as Salesforce custom fields before import.
OptifiNow
Opportunity
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
lossyOptifiNow Opportunities track deals through configurable pipeline stages with value, probability, and expected close dates. Each tenant's pipeline stage names and probabilities are tenant-specific and must be enumerated during discovery. We design Salesforce Opportunity Record Types and Sales Processes to reproduce the OptifiNow stage logic, then map stage names to StageName values with probability percentages. Any custom fields on Opportunity (deal type, product category, underwriting flags for mortgage verticals) migrate as custom fields on the Salesforce Opportunity object.
OptifiNow
Users and Owners
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1OptifiNow user records include role assignments and territory assignments that affect pipeline routing. We map owner IDs to Salesforce User accounts by email match. Any OptifiNow Owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Territory assignments are documented as configuration notes for Salesforce Territory Management or Enterprise Territory Management 2.0 rebuild.
OptifiNow
Custom Objects
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object (__c)
1:1OptifiNow exposes custom object support via API, but the schema is not publicly documented. We perform a pre-migration schema discovery pass to enumerate all custom object types, field definitions, and lookup relationships to standard objects. We pre-create the Salesforce destination schema including custom objects with __c API names, all custom fields, lookup and master-detail relationships, and validation rules before any data import. Custom object ordering is resolved against parent-record dependencies discovered during the schema pass.
OptifiNow
Activity: Email
Salesforce Sales Cloud
EmailMessage + Task
1:1OptifiNow email logs linked to contacts and accounts migrate to Salesforce EmailMessage records (the email body and headers) paired with a Task record (the activity timeline entry). The WhoId on Task points to the migrated Lead or Contact; the WhatId points to the related Opportunity or Account. Email direction (sent/received) maps to EmailMessageDirection. Subject and body text migrate as-is; attachments migrate as ContentDocument records linked via ContentDocumentLink.
OptifiNow
Activity: Call
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task (TaskSubtype = Call)
1:1OptifiNow call logs from VOIP integration and general call engagements map to Salesforce Task records with TaskSubtype=Call. Call duration, disposition, and recording URL transfer to custom Task fields if present in the OptifiNow schema. Activity timestamp preserves chronological ordering in the Salesforce activity timeline by setting ActivityDate to the original OptifiNow timestamp.
OptifiNow
Activity: Meeting
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Event
1:1OptifiNow meeting engagements map to Salesforce Event. StartDateTime, EndDateTime, and Location preserve directly. Attendee links map to EventRelation records pointing at the migrated Leads, Contacts, and Users. Recurring meeting series are documented separately because recurrence patterns may require manual rebuild in Salesforce as recurring Events have limited API support.
OptifiNow
Activity: Task and Note
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task and Note
1:1OptifiNow task engagements and social collaboration notes map to Salesforce Task and Note objects respectively. Tasks preserve Status, Priority, and ActivityDate. Notes attach to parent records via ContentDocumentLink to the migrated Lead, Contact, Account, or Opportunity. Rich text formatting in OptifiNow notes migrates as Salesforce Note rich text where supported.
OptifiNow
Content Library
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument
1:1OptifiNow's content management module stores marketing collateral, social media materials, blogs, and images as binary assets. File assets migrate as Salesforce ContentDocument records (or as Salesforce Files in Lightning Experience). Approval workflow associations and scheduling metadata are documented as configuration notes because these do not transfer as active workflow rules. The content approval and scheduling metadata is preserved in a written handoff document for the customer's admin to rebuild in Salesforce Content or a digital asset management tool.
OptifiNow
Marketing Automation Sequences
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Documentation (no code migration)
lossyOptifiNow email sequences, triggers, and delays are stored as internal workflow definitions that cannot be extracted as runnable automation packages. We do not migrate them as code. We enumerate every active sequence during discovery, document the trigger conditions, delay lengths, email content references, and action steps in a written automation inventory, and recommend a Salesforce Flow equivalent or a Sales Engagement cadence rebuild. The sequence logic is not preservable as executable code in any destination CRM.

Migration approach
Discovery and schema enumeration
We schedule a live tenant walkthrough of the OptifiNow account with read-only API access or admin-guided screen share. We enumerate every standard object (Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities), all custom objects, custom fields with their data types, picklist value sets, lookup relationships, active workflow configurations, and marketing automation sequences. We also extract a sample export of 50-100 records per object to verify field populate rates, null frequencies, and date format consistency. The discovery output is a written schema map and a confirmed migration scope with fixed object list and estimated row counts.
Salesforce destination schema design
We design the Salesforce destination schema in a sandbox org. This includes creating custom objects (__c API names matched to OptifiNow names where feasible), all custom fields with Salesforce-appropriate types (text, picklist, number, date, lookup), Record Types per pipeline, Sales Processes with stage whitelists and probabilities, Page Layouts per Record Type, and any required custom fields on standard objects for preserving OptifiNow metadata. Validation rules and required field enforcement are temporarily relaxed or extended with a migration-context bypass during the load phase. Schema is validated in sandbox before any production planning.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Full Copy or Partial Copy sandbox using production-equivalent data volumes. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts against the OptifiNow source (Accounts in, Contacts in, Opportunities in, custom object records in, Activities in), spot-checks 30-50 randomly selected records for field-level accuracy, and validates that lookup relationships resolved correctly. Any field mapping corrections, custom field additions, or import sequence adjustments are made in sandbox before the production cutover date is confirmed.
User provisioning and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct OptifiNow owner referenced on Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, and Engagement records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any OptifiNow Owner without a matching Salesforce User is placed in a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions missing users (active or inactive depending on whether the original OptifiNow user remains active) before record import resumes. OwnerId references on standard objects require resolved users before import can succeed.
Production migration in dependency order
We execute production migration in the following dependency order: Users (manual, validated), Accounts (from OptifiNow Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Leads (with routing and assignment rule documentation for rebuild), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, RecordTypeId, and Sales Process resolved), Custom Objects (in dependency-graph order after all parent standard objects are loaded), then Activity history (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages, Notes via Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with chunking and exponential backoff). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Content Library assets (ContentDocuments) are loaded last after all parent records are present.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze OptifiNow writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver the marketing automation sequence inventory, workflow configuration map, and content scheduling metadata to the customer's admin team in written form. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's sales team. We do not rebuild OptifiNow workflows, sequences, or content scheduling as Salesforce Flow or Content Workflow in standard scope; those are separate engagements or internal admin tasks.
