Overview
Paradigm and Freshsales take different approaches to organizing sales data. Paradigm stores contacts, companies, and deals in a flat object structure with custom fields and nested attributes for credential and identity records. Freshsales models the same entities as Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities, with separate objects for tasks, events, and notes. Freshsales also enforces a lead lifecycle stage model and uses pick-list values for deal pipeline stages that vary by pipeline type. When migrating from Paradigm to Freshsales, FlitStack AI maps standard fields directly (firstname to FirstName, email to Email, company name to Account Name), transforms Paradigm's custom nested attributes into Freshsales custom fields, and converts Paradigm's deal stages to Freshsales Opportunity Stage values. Paradigm's workflows, automation rules, and sequence definitions do not transfer — they must be rebuilt in Freshsales using the workflow builder. We use the Freshsales REST API for the migration, batch records in groups of up to 10,000 to stay within Freshsales' import limits, and run a delta-pickup window after the bulk load to capture any records modified during cutover. A sample migration with field-level diff runs first so you can verify mapping accuracy before the full commit.
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 Paradym 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.
Paradym
Contact
Freshsales
Lead / Contact
1:manyParadigm Contact records split based on lifecycle_stage value. Contacts with lifecycle_stage set to 'Customer' or 'Evangelist' in Paradigm land as Freshsales Contacts. All other stages (Subscriber, Lead, MQL, SQL) route to Freshsales Leads. If Paradigm does not use lifecycle_stage, all contacts migrate as Freshsales Leads for review before conversion.
Paradym
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1Paradigm Company maps directly to Freshsales Account. Company name maps to Account Name; domain maps to Website; industry maps to Industry (value mapping applies where Paradigm pick-list values differ from Freshsales defaults). Employee count and annual revenue transfer directly. Parent-company hierarchy in Paradigm maps to Freshsales Parent Account lookup if the parent company record exists.
Paradym
Deal
Freshsales
Opportunity
1:1Paradigm Deal maps to Freshsales Opportunity. The deal name becomes Opportunity Name; amount maps to Amount; close date maps to Close Date. The Paradigm pipeline property maps to Freshsales' pipeline_id, and deal stage values map to Freshsales Stage pick-list values using value mapping defined per pipeline. Owner ID resolves by email match to Freshsales users.
Paradym
Pipeline
Freshsales
Pipeline (Freshsales)
1:1Each Paradigm pipeline becomes a Freshsales Pipeline. Pipeline names transfer directly without modification. The pipeline's stage definitions map to Freshsales stage values with probability percentages applied from Freshsales' stage configuration defaults unless Paradigm stage data includes probability metadata, in which case those values take precedence to preserve historical forecasting assumptions captured in the source system.
Paradym
Activity (Call / Email / Meeting)
Freshsales
Task / Event
1:1Paradigm activity logs split by type: call logs migrate as Freshsales Tasks with Type set to 'Call'; email records migrate as Tasks with Type set to 'Email'; meeting records migrate as Freshsales Events with start time, end time, and location preserved from Paradigm. Original timestamps and owner IDs transfer; parent record links (contact, company, deal) map via Freshsales' target object IDs after lead/contact/account creation.
Paradym
Note
Freshsales
Note
1:1Paradigm notes migrate to Freshsales Notes attached to the parent record (Lead, Contact, Account, or Opportunity). Rich-text formatting in Paradigm notes is preserved as HTML in Freshsales Notes. If Paradigm stores notes in a legacy format, we extract plain text and reformat for Freshsales' note structure.
Paradym
User / Owner
Freshsales
User
1:1Paradigm owner IDs resolve to Freshsales users by email address match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration; you can either invite them to Freshsales first or assign their records to a fallback user. Records without an owner receive the migration admin as a placeholder for post-migration reassignment.
Paradym
Custom Field (Contact)
Freshsales
Custom Field (Lead / Contact)
1:1Paradigm custom fields on Contact records map to Freshsales custom fields on both Lead and Contact objects. Freshsales requires custom fields to be created in Admin Settings before import; we generate a custom field creation plan from the Paradigm schema export. Field type conversion applies: Paradigm text fields map to Freshsales Text, number fields to Number, pick-list fields to Dropdown.
Paradym
Custom Field (Deal)
Freshsales
Custom Field (Opportunity)
1:1Paradigm custom fields on Deal records map to Freshsales custom fields on the Opportunity object. Freshsales Pro and Enterprise plans support advanced custom field types including multi-select and formula fields; we map field types accordingly and flag any Paradigm field types that Freshsales does not support natively.
Paradym
File / Attachment
Freshsales
File
1:1Paradigm file attachments re-upload to Freshsales Files attached to the parent record. File size limits in Freshsales are 25MB per file; files exceeding this limit are flagged for manual handling. We download files from Paradigm, rehost them in Freshsales' file storage, and maintain the original file name and attachment link.
Paradym
Tag
Freshsales
Tag
1:1Paradigm tags migrate to Freshsales Tags. Tags are stored as comma-separated values on Lead, Contact, Account, and Opportunity records in Freshsales. If Paradigm uses tags for segmentation, we recommend recreating segments in Freshsales using the Contacts and Leads list views or custom reports.
Paradym
Product
Freshsales
Product
1:1Paradigm products map to Freshsales Products with name, SKU, unit price, and description fields transferred. Products must be created in Freshsales before they can be linked to Opportunities via Opportunity Products (line items). We sequence product migration before deal migration to ensure foreign key resolution.

Migration approach
Audit Paradigm data model and extract schema
FlitStack AI connects to Paradigm via API using scoped read access to audit your data model before migration. We extract all object definitions (Contact, Company, Deal, Activity, custom fields), identify nested attribute groups, catalog pick-list values for value mapping, and count records per object. This audit produces a schema diff against Freshsales' target model, identifying fields that need custom field creation, pick-list value mapping, or transformation logic. We also verify API rate limit status and test connectivity from our migration infrastructure to Paradigm's endpoints. The audit report is shared with your team for approval before extraction begins.
Create Freshsales custom fields and pipelines
Based on the schema audit, FlitStack AI generates a custom field creation plan for Freshsales. Your admin creates the fields in Freshsales Admin Settings (Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, Products) before data import. We also create the Freshsales pipelines matching Paradigm's pipeline structure, configure stage values with probability percentages, and set up any required territory records. If Paradigm uses pick-list fields with values that differ from Freshsales' defaults, we provide a value-mapping spreadsheet for your admin to review and approve. This step runs in parallel with the Paradigm data extraction.
Resolve owners and prepare data for import
Paradigm owner IDs are resolved by matching owner email addresses against Freshsales user accounts. FlitStack AI generates a match report showing which owners resolved successfully, which require Freshsales user invitations, and which default to a fallback owner. We also deduplicate records during this phase — Paradigm contacts with duplicate email addresses are flagged for your team to decide whether to merge or keep separate records. Custom field values from Paradigm are transformed to match Freshsales' expected formats (date formats, phone number formatting, pick-list values).
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample (typically 100–500 records) migrates into a Freshsales sandbox or trial account before the full run. The sample covers each object type (Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Opportunities, Activities), includes records with custom fields, and tests owner resolution. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff comparing source values from Paradigm against the migrated values in Freshsales, so you can verify mapping accuracy for each field. Your team reviews the diff and approves before we commit to the full migration. This step catches mapping errors early and prevents mass data correction after go-live.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs in sequenced phases: Accounts first (required for Contact and Opportunity foreign keys), then Leads and Contacts (split by lifecycle_stage), then Opportunities, then Activities and Notes, then Files. After the bulk load, a delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Paradigm records created or modified during the cutover. FlitStack AI generates an audit log of every record migrated, including source ID, destination ID, timestamp, and any transformation applied. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies discrepancies above your agreed threshold.
