Overview
Moving from Promio to Freshsales is a migration shaped by the absence of a Promio API. Every record must be requested from Promio's support or account management team as a CSV export, which adds a pre-migration dependency that can extend timelines by one to three weeks depending on Promio's response cadence. We extract Leads and Customers with their lifecycle segmentation labels (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost), campaign performance history, and reputation scores from Promio's export files. We map Promio's lifecycle labels to Freshsales Contact custom fields so the segmentation intelligence survives the move. We do not migrate call recordings (hosted on Promio infrastructure), landing pages (served from Promio domain), or ad account credentials (managed through Promio's service layer); we inventory all three and deliver a rebuild requirements document. Freshsales uses a standard CRM object model (Contacts, Accounts, Deals, custom fields) that accommodates the migrated Promio data without schema restructuring. Workflows, sequences, and automated campaigns do not migrate because they are Promio-hosted logic; we document every active automation for your admin to rebuild in Freshsales.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Promio 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.
Promio
Lead
Freshsales
Lead
1:1Promio Leads with source attribution and call-tracking metadata map to Freshsales Lead. The Promio lead record includes fields like lead source, campaign attribution, phone number, and any call recording URL references (the URL is stored metadata, not the recording itself). We extract all standard lead fields and map them to Freshsales standard Lead fields. Any Promio custom fields discovered in the CSV header are created as Freshsales custom Lead fields before import.
Promio
Customer
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Promio Customers map to Freshsales Contact. We map the customer name, email, phone, address, and any custom properties to standard and custom Contact fields respectively. Promio's lifecycle segment label (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost) is a custom property in Promio; we map it to a Freshsales custom Contact field called lifecycle_segment__c to preserve the segmentation intelligence. The original Promio customer ID is stored in a custom field promio_customer_id__c for cross-system reference.
Promio
Customer
Freshsales
Account
1:1Promio Customers associated with a business entity map to Freshsales Account. We use the customer name as the Account Name, extract any company domain or website data from the Promio record, and store the original Promio customer ID in a custom field promio_customer_id__c on the Account. The Contact and Account are linked via the Account Lookup on Contact so that Freshsales Contact timelines display against the correct Account.
Promio
Campaign
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Promio Campaigns map to Freshsales Deals. The campaign name becomes the Deal name, campaign budget data maps to the Deal Amount field, and the campaign start and end dates map to Freshsales Deal date fields. Promio's bundled advertising channels (Google Ads, Bing Ads, Display) are documented in a custom field campaign_channels__c on the Deal since Freshsales does not have a native multi-channel advertising concept. If the customer requires pipeline stage tracking for campaigns, we configure a Freshsales Deal pipeline with stages mapped to campaign lifecycle states.
Promio
Custom Properties
Freshsales
Custom Fields
lossyPromio custom properties on Leads and Customers are discovered by inspecting the CSV header row from Promio's export. We create matching Freshsales custom fields (Lead custom fields and Contact custom fields) using the Freshsales field editor before migration. Field types are inferred from the Promio data format: numeric Promio values become Freshsales number fields, date values become date fields, and text values become text fields. Any Promio multi-select or segmented custom properties are created as Freshsales dropdown fields with the original values preserved as picklist options.
Promio
Reputation / Reviews
Freshsales
Contact (custom fields)
1:1Promio aggregates review monitoring data (ratings, review site links, reputation scores) into its dashboard. We extract the aggregated score and review site URLs from the Promio export and map them to Freshsales Contact custom fields: reputation_score__c (number), primary_review_site__c (text), and review_link__c (url). This preserves the reputation intelligence without requiring the customer to re-aggregate the data post-migration.
Promio
Call Recording (metadata)
Freshsales
Contact (custom fields)
lossyPromio stores call recording audio files on its own infrastructure, which are not exportable. However, Promio's CSV export includes call recording metadata (call duration, call date, disposition, recording URL if the link remains active). We map this metadata to Freshsales Contact custom fields: last_call_date__c, last_call_duration_seconds__c, last_call_disposition__c, and call_recording_url__c. The customer must download any required audio files directly from Promio before the cutover date; we include this as a pre-flight checklist item in the migration scope document.
Promio
Owner
Freshsales
User
1:1Promio's campaign and customer records include owner assignments. We extract all distinct owner email addresses referenced in the export files and match them against the Freshsales User table by email. Any owner without a matching Freshsales User is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision. Migration cannot insert records with an unresolved OwnerId reference; we flag this before the main import phase begins.

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.
Promio gotchas
No public API forces manual or negotiated export
Call recordings live on Promio infrastructure
Ad account re-onboarding required after migration
Landing pages are Promio-hosted and non-portable
Custom properties lack standard field documentation
Freshsales gotchas
Freddy AI is Pro-tier only despite heavy marketing
Post-migration emails and sequences are disabled

Migration approach
Promio export request and response validation
We submit a formal data export request to Promio's account management team on the customer's behalf, specifying the required record types (Leads, Customers, Campaigns, Custom Properties, Reputation data) and the preferred file format. We monitor for Promio's response and validate the received export files for completeness: record counts, field headers, and date range coverage. If the export is incomplete or missing expected records, we resubmit the request with specific gap documentation. This step cannot be accelerated by FlitStack AI; its duration depends entirely on Promio's response time.
Freshsales schema provisioning
We configure the Freshsales destination environment before data import. This includes creating the custom fields required for Promio lifecycle segmentation (lifecycle_segment__c on Contact), call metadata fields (last_call_date__c, last_call_duration_seconds__c, call_recording_url__c), reputation fields (reputation_score__c, primary_review_site__c, review_link__c), and the cross-system reference field (promio_customer_id__c). We also configure the Deal pipeline and stage definitions based on the customer's Promio campaign structure. Schema provisioning is done in Freshsales admin settings and validated before any records are inserted.
Custom field discovery and destination field creation
We inspect the header row of each Promio CSV export file to identify any custom properties not present in the standard Promio data model. For each discovered custom property, we create a corresponding Freshsales custom field of the appropriate type. We communicate any naming differences between Promio's property names and Freshsales' field labels to the customer's admin so they can confirm the intended mapping before import.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a test migration into a Freshsales sandbox environment using the exported Promio data. The customer's RevOps or admin lead reviews the migrated records, spot-checks 20-30 records against the source Promio data, and confirms the mapping accuracy. Any field mapping corrections, missing custom fields, or data quality issues (duplicate records, encoding problems) are resolved at this stage. We do not proceed to production migration until the sandbox sign-off is received.
Owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct owner email address from the Promio export files and match them against the Freshsales User table by email. Any Promio owner without a matching Freshsales User is documented in a reconciliation report and submitted to the customer's admin for provisioning. Migration cannot insert Contact, Account, or Deal records with an unresolved OwnerId; this step gates the production migration start.
Production migration in dependency order
We execute the production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Promio Customers with business entity data), Contacts (with AccountId resolved and lifecycle_segment__c mapped), Leads (with owner resolved), Deals (linked to Accounts and Owners), and custom field data for reputation and call metadata. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. After the main migration completes, we run a delta migration of any records modified in Promio during the migration window.
Cutover, validation, and non-portable asset handoff
We freeze Promio write access during cutover, confirm the final delta migration, and enable Freshsales as the system of record. We deliver the complete migration artifact package: record count reconciliation report, non-portable asset inventory (landing pages, call recordings, ad accounts), automation rebuild requirements document (Promio lifecycle campaigns), and a post-migration data quality report. We support a 72-hour hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Post-hypercare, we close the engagement and hand off the non-portable asset rebuilds to the customer's internal team or a designated implementation partner.
