Overview
Praktika Australia is a cloud-based dental practice management system built for Australian and New Zealand dental clinics — it stores patients, clinical notes, treatment plans, appointments, billing, and HICAPS/Tyro payment records. Freshsales (Freshworks CRM) is a general-purpose sales CRM with Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Leads, Tasks, Events, and a custom-field system that supports custom objects via the developer platform. The migration carries patients → Contacts (or Leads for unconfirmed prospects), practice locations → Accounts, appointments → Tasks or Events, and treatment plans → custom fields on Contact records. Clinical charting data (Perio, Restorative) that has no direct CRM equivalent is stored as text custom fields or JSON-encoded notes. Praktika's HICAPS/Tyro billing records do not map to any Freshsales object — those are preserved as a reference export and rebuilt in Freshsales' billing integration layer post-migration. FlitStack AI uses Praktika's API export to read records, transforms them to Freshsales' REST API schema, and loads via batched API calls with rate-limit throttling scoped to Freshsales' 100 requests per minute on standard plans.
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 Praktika Australia 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.
Praktika Australia
Patient
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Praktika patients map directly to Freshsales Contacts. Every patient field (name, date of birth, address, contact details) copies to the Contact record. Praktika's patient ID is stored as Source_System_ID__c on the Freshsales Contact for traceability and delta-run de-duplication.
Praktika Australia
Patient
Freshsales
Lead
1:manyIf a Praktika record represents a enquiry or consultation booking without a confirmed treatment, FlitStack stages those records as Freshsales Leads first. The Lead-to-Contact conversion is recommended post-migration when the patient confirms their first appointment in Freshsales.
Praktika Australia
Practice / Location
Freshsales
Account
1:1Praktika practice locations (Single Location, 2 Locations, 3+ Locations tiers) map to Freshsales Account records. Each Account holds the clinic name, address, and HICAPS/Tyro terminal ID as custom fields. Multi-location practices generate multiple Account records with a custom Parent_Group__c field linking them.
Praktika Australia
Appointment
Freshsales
Task / Event
1:1Praktika appointments with a confirmed date and time map to Freshsales Events (for calendar visibility) or Tasks (for follow-up tracking). The appointment practitioner resolves to a Freshsales User by email. Cancelled appointments are logged as completed Tasks with a Cancelled status to preserve the record without cluttering the calendar.
Praktika Australia
Treatment Plan
Freshsales
Custom Field on Contact
1:1Treatment plans contain procedure codes, clinical notes, and recommended intervals — these don't map to any native Freshsales object. FlitStack encodes each treatment plan as a long-text custom field (Treatment_Plan__c) on the Contact record, preserving procedure descriptions, codes, and practitioner recommendations in chronological order.
Praktika Australia
Perio Chart / Restorative Chart
Freshsales
Custom Field on Contact
1:1Praktika's Perio Charting and Restorative Charting data has no equivalent in Freshsales. FlitStack stores the charting snapshot as a structured-text custom field (Clinical_Charting__c) on the Contact record. Post-migration, the practice can either reference the field manually or export it to a clinical tool.
Praktika Australia
Invoice / Billing Record
Freshsales
Note / Attachment
1:1Praktika invoices and HICAPS/Tyro payment records have no native Freshsales equivalent. FlitStack exports the complete billing ledger as a structured CSV file and attaches it to the relevant Contact or Account record as a reference document. Practices rebuilding billing should integrate Xero or QuickBooks via Freshsales' marketplace.
Praktika Australia
Recall
Freshsales
Task (recurring)
1:1Praktika's recall intervals (e.g. '6-month periodontal recall') map to Freshsales Tasks with a due_date calculated from the last treatment date plus the recall interval. Practices can rebuild automated recall reminders as Freshsales workflows on the Pro and Enterprise plans.
Praktika Australia
Practitioner / Staff
Freshsales
User
1:1Praktika staff records (dentist, hygienist, receptionist roles) resolve to Freshsales Users by email address. The staff role in Praktika maps to Freshsales' user profile role and team assignment. Unmatched staff are flagged before migration; practices either invite them to Freshsales or reassign their records to a fallback user.
Praktika Australia
Product / Fee Item
Freshsales
Product
1:1Praktika's fee schedule items and procedure codes map to Freshsales Products. Each product carries the item description, ADA code (mapped to a custom SKU field), and standard fee amount. Product-to-deal associations require a Freshsales Deal to exist first.
Praktika Australia
SMS / Communication Log
Freshsales
Sales Activity / Note
1:1Praktika's SMS and communication logs against a patient record migrate as Freshsales Sales Activities (custom activity type 'SMS') or as Notes attached to the Contact. Original timestamps and direction (sent/received) are preserved in the activity description field.
Praktika Australia
Custom Field (Practice-Defined)
Freshsales
Custom Field
1:1Praktika custom fields created by the practice (e.g. Insurance Provider, Emergency Contact, Preferred Appointment Time) map to Freshsales custom fields of matching type (text, picklist, date, number). FlitStack creates the corresponding Freshsales custom field via the API before the migration batch runs. Field-level permissions are set to match Praktika's visibility configuration.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Praktika Australia gotchas
No public API means migration is conversion-file only
Custom per-practice abbreviations in clinical notes
Recall date logic may differ between Praktika and destination
Multi-location pricing does not include unlimited users
Freshsales gotchas
Freddy AI is Pro-tier only despite heavy marketing
Post-migration emails and sequences are disabled
Bot session credits are a one-time 500-session allocation
Phone credits charged per minute with no cap
File storage limits scale with plan tier
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Praktika data export and design Freshsales schema
FlitStack connects to Praktika via its API to enumerate all patient records, appointment histories, treatment plans, practitioners, and practice locations. We produce a schema design document for Freshsales covering: which Contacts will be created, which custom fields need pre-creation, whether each clinic maps to a separate Account or a parent-child hierarchy, and how practitioners resolve to Freshsales users. The practice admin approves the schema plan before any data moves.
Pre-create Freshsales custom fields and configure visibility
Using the Freshsales REST API, FlitStack creates all required custom fields on Contact and Account objects before the migration batch — Treatment_Plan__c, Clinical_Charting__c, HICAPS_Terminal_ID__c, Source_System_ID__c, Original_Create_Date__c, and others identified in the schema plan. Field visibility and edit permissions are set to match Praktika's role-based configuration so staff see the same data they had access to before.
Resolve practitioner and staff records to Freshsales users
Praktika practitioner and staff records are matched against Freshsales users by email address. Records with no matching Freshsales user are flagged in a pre-flight report — the practice either creates Freshsales user accounts for those staff members or nominates a fallback user to own those patient records. No patient record migrates without a resolved Freshsales owner.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of patient records (typically 100–500) migrates first — spanning patients with appointments, treatment plans, and billing history. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values in Praktika against the destination values in Freshsales. The practice admin reviews the diff to verify treatment plan encoding, recall date calculation, and contact ownership before the full run commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full patient, appointment, treatment-plan, and practice data migrates via batched Freshsales API calls throttled to stay within the 100-requests-per-minute rate limit on standard plans. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any new Praktika records or appointment changes made during the cutover period. FlitStack logs every API operation to an audit trail. One-click rollback reverts the Freshsales environment to its pre-migration state if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues.
Deliver billing export and rebuild reference pack
Praktika's complete billing ledger — invoices, HICAPS/Tyro transaction records, and patient account balances — is exported as a structured CSV and attached to the relevant Freshsales Account records. FlitStack also delivers a rebuild reference document mapping each Praktika recall interval to the Freshsales workflow rule logic that recreates it, plus the recommended Xero or QuickBooks integration steps for financial reconciliation.
