Overview
Moving from Plezi to Salesforce is a structural migration that changes how marketing and sales data relate. Plezi combines lead scoring, landing pages, forms, and Smart Campaign automation in one simplified marketing automation tool; Salesforce separates these concerns across Sales Cloud, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (Pardot), and the broader AppExchange ecosystem. We extract Contacts alongside their behavioral scoring profiles and lifecycle stages, resolve the Accounts-to-Companies relationship in Salesforce, and preserve Campaign metadata. Plezi's Smart Campaign logic is stored in a proprietary format opaque to third-party tools, so we reconstruct each campaign's trigger conditions and action sequences and deliver a written inventory for rebuild in Salesforce Flow. Landing pages with embedded third-party content require manual recreation, and the native Plezi-Salesforce integration is one-directional and limited to contact sync, so we flag any bidirectional sync requirements during scoping.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Plezi 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.
Plezi
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead or Contact (split required)
1:manyPlezi Contacts with a lifecycle stage of prospect or unqualified map to Salesforce Lead. Contacts with a lifecycle stage of qualified, customer, or evangelist map to Salesforce Contact tied to a pre-created Account. We compute the split using Plezi's lifecycle stage and scoring profile properties, and preserve the original Plezi lifecycle stage and behavioral score in custom fields plezi_lifecycle_stage__c and plezi_behavioral_score__c on both Lead and Contact for audit and reporting continuity.
Plezi
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Plezi Company records map directly to Salesforce Account. The company domain becomes the Account Website field and serves as the dedupe key during import. We create Account records before any Contact import so that the AccountId Lookup relationship is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert. Industry, employee count, and any custom company properties map to corresponding Salesforce Account fields or custom fields.
Plezi
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign
1:1Plezi Campaigns representing individual marketing initiatives with associated costs, channels, start and end dates, and budget fields map to Salesforce Campaign. Campaign type, status, and budget migrate as standard Salesforce Campaign fields. We preserve the campaign hierarchy if Plezi uses parent-child campaign structures, mapping to Salesforce Campaign hierarchical self-lookup.
Plezi
Landing Page
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Experience Cloud Page (documented)
1:1Plezi Landing Pages are standalone assets with their own URLs, page titles, and form associations. We export the page title, slug, URL, and form reference. Any embedded third-party widgets (webinar iframes, live chat scripts, custom JavaScript) cannot be extracted during export. We document each landing page's embedded components during the audit phase and flag which pages require manual recreation versus automated migration. The customer's marketing team rebuilds landing pages in Experience Cloud or their preferred CMS post-migration.
Plezi
Form
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Web-to-Lead or Custom Object
1:1Plezi Forms capture leads and feed them into Smart Campaigns with pipeline stage assignments. We migrate form field names, required flags, and the target stage assignment. Custom field types map to the closest Salesforce equivalent (text, picklist, checkbox, date). We create a corresponding Web-to-Lead form in Salesforce as the replacement capture mechanism and map form submission data to the appropriate Salesforce Campaign or Lead object.
Plezi
Smart Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Flow (documented)
1:1Smart Campaigns are Plezi's core automation engine combining triggers, conditions, and actions stored in a proprietary format. We cannot export runnable automation packages. Instead, we reconstruct each Smart Campaign's intent by exporting the campaign trigger events, conditional rules, and action sequence separately. We deliver a written inventory of every Smart Campaign with its trigger type, conditions, actions, and recommended Salesforce Flow equivalent. Dynamic personalization steps and complex branching logic are flagged as requiring manual rebuild by the customer's admin.
Plezi
Workflow
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Process Builder or Flow (documented)
1:1Plezi Workflows manage multi-step nurture sequences with step sequences and content block references. We export the step sequence and content block associations but note that dynamic content within workflow steps cannot be automatically reproduced. The workflow step inventory is delivered as a written document for the customer's Salesforce admin to rebuild in Process Builder or Flow. Content blocks used inside workflows are exported as HTML and text variants where available.
Plezi
Marketing Assets (emails, content blocks)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce ContentDocument or Email Template (documented)
1:1Emails and content blocks used inside Plezi Smart Campaigns and Workflows are exportable as HTML and text variants with subject lines. We extract the HTML body and carry it forward as a Salesforce Email Template or ContentDocument record. Inline images may require re-hosting at the destination because image URLs pointing to Plezi's asset CDN will not resolve in Salesforce. We document each image reference for manual re-attachment.
Plezi
User
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Plezi User accounts include name, email, and role. We export user records and map roles to Salesforce's permission model. Plezi-specific role names require manual review during scoping because role semantics differ between platforms. We resolve users by email match against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any Plezi user without a matching Salesforce User is held in a reconciliation queue.
Plezi
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Multi-Select Picklist or Topic
lossyPlezi Contacts can be tagged for segmentation. We preserve all tag names and associations. In Salesforce, tags used for contact classification map to a multi-select picklist field on Contact or Lead. Tags used for content or campaign classification map to Salesforce Topics with TopicAssignment records. The customer chooses the tag strategy during scoping based on how they intend to use segmented data in Salesforce.
Plezi
Scoring Profile
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields (score fields)
lossyPlezi's behavioral scoring profiles are proprietary and not directly portable. We export the most recent score value and scoring history for each Contact and store it in a custom field plezi_behavioral_score__c on the Lead or Contact record. Scoring model rules (which behaviors contribute which point values) are documented separately as part of the Smart Campaign inventory and can be implemented as Salesforce assignment rules or Einstein Lead Scoring if the customer licenses that add-on.
Plezi
Engagement Activity
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task and Event
1:1If Plezi stores engagement activities (opens, clicks, form submissions as behavioral events), we map these to Salesforce Task records with custom event-type fields. Email engagement events (opens, clicks) map to Task records with a custom event type picklist. Meeting and call records from Plezi map to Salesforce Event and Task (TaskSubtype=Call) respectively. Activity timestamps are preserved as ActivityDate for timeline ordering.

Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the Plezi portal across contact volume, company volume, active Smart Campaigns, active Workflows, landing pages, forms, campaign history, scoring profiles, and engagement event data. We pair this with a Salesforce edition recommendation: Professional ($80/user) covers most custom-object-free migrations; Enterprise ($165/user) is required for record-triggered Flow at scale, advanced reporting types, or Process Builder; Unlimited ($330/user) only if 24x7 support and unlimited custom apps are needed. The discovery output is a written migration scope document listing every Plezi object to be migrated, held, or documented for rebuild.
Schema design and Salesforce sandbox setup
We design the destination Salesforce schema in a Sandbox org. This includes provisioning custom objects and custom fields typed to match Plezi data, Record Types for any deal or campaign pipelines, Sales Processes for stage management, Page Layouts per Record Type, and the Lead-Contact split rule based on the customer's Plezi lifecycle stage matrix. We create custom fields for plezi_lifecycle_stage__c and plezi_behavioral_score__c to preserve Plezi-specific data. Schema is deployed via metadata API into the Sandbox for validation before any production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Salesforce Sandbox using a representative data volume sample. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts across all objects, spot-checks 25-50 records against the Plezi source, and validates the Lead-Contact split logic. Smart Campaign intent documentation and Landing Page audit reports are delivered alongside the data migration for customer review. The customer signs off on the schema, mapping, and documentation before production migration begins. Mapping corrections happen in the Sandbox, not in production.
Owner reconciliation and user provisioning
We extract every distinct Plezi user referenced across Contacts, Companies, Campaigns, Smart Campaigns, and Workflows and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Plezi users without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions missing users and confirms role assignments before record import resumes. OwnerId references on Salesforce records must be valid at insert time, making this a mandatory pre-migration step.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Plezi Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved and Lead-Contact split applied), Leads, Campaigns, scoring profile data (to custom score fields), Smart Campaign intent documentation (delivered, not migrated), Workflow intent documentation (delivered, not migrated), landing page audit report (delivered, not migrated), and engagement activity events (via Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with chunking and parent-record lookup resolution). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Plezi 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 Smart Campaign inventory, Workflow inventory, Landing Page audit report, and Scoring Model documentation to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Smart Campaigns as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
