Overview
Moving from Promio to Salesforce is a structural migration constrained by Promio's lack of a public API, which forces all data extraction through a negotiated CSV export rather than programmatic pull. Promio's data model centers on Leads, Customers, and Campaigns tied to a revenue-attribution reporting layer that tracks every marketing dollar to outcomes; we map that attribution structure to Salesforce's Account-Contact-Opportunity hierarchy and Campaign Influence model. Customer lifecycle segments (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost) migrate as custom picklist fields on Contact so sales reps retain the segment intelligence after cutover. We do not migrate Workflows, automations, landing pages, call recordings, or ad account credentials as these are Promio-hosted, non-portable, or require independent re-onboarding with Google and Bing.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Promio 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.
Promio
Lead
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:1Promio Lead records map directly to Salesforce Lead. Source attribution fields (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign), call-tracking metadata (call duration, disposition, recording URL where available in export), and lead creation timestamp migrate to Salesforce Lead fields. We flag any Lead records with Promio campaign IDs for Campaign Influence mapping during the Campaign phase. The migration user must have Lead Create and Edit permissions and any required field-level security grants before import.
Promio
Customer
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account and Contact
1:manyPromio's Customer is a hybrid record that combines company-level and person-level data. We split it during extraction: company name and address fields map to Salesforce Account; individual contact name, email, phone, and role fields map to Salesforce Contact linked to the Account. Promio lifecycle stages (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost) migrate as a custom picklist field promio_lifecycle_stage__c on Contact for post-migration segmentation and reporting.
Promio
Customer lifecycle stage
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact (custom picklist)
lossyPromio's five lifecycle stage values (New, Active, At-Risk, Lapsed, Lost) are custom properties on the Customer record. We create a custom picklist field promio_lifecycle_stage__c on Contact with all five values, preserving the original Promio label for audit and historical accuracy. This field is not a native Salesforce lifecycle tracker; the customer's admin rebuilds any automation dependent on lifecycle stage changes in Salesforce Flow post-migration.
Promio
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign
1:1Promio Campaign records map to Salesforce Campaign. Campaign name, start and end dates, budget, and status migrate to Salesforce Campaign fields. Promio's bundled ad channel data (Google Ads, Bing Ads spend) migrates as custom numeric fields on the Salesforce Campaign record because Salesforce's native budget fields track campaign budget rather than actual spend. We flag any Campaign linked to Promio's managed ad layer for independent rebuild in Google Ads and Bing.
Promio
Campaign performance metrics
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign (custom fields)
lossyPromio's revenue-attribution reporting layer (impressions, clicks, spend, conversions, revenue attributed per campaign) migrates as custom fields on the Salesforce Campaign object. We map promio_spend__c, promio_revenue__c, promio_roas__c, and promio_conversions__c as custom currency and number fields. These custom fields support the reporting continuity that customers expect when leaving Promio's attribution dashboard.
Promio
Campaign Influence
Salesforce Sales Cloud
CampaignMember
1:1Promio Lead-to-Campaign associations (which campaign source produced which lead) migrate to Salesforce CampaignMember records linking the Lead to the Campaign. We resolve the Lead ID and Campaign ID at migration time using the Promio lead ID to Salesforce Lead ID cross-reference table generated during the Lead phase.
Promio
Advertising Account
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Configuration artifact (out-of-scope for CRM)
1:1Promio's linked Google Ads and Bing Ads credentials are stored in Promio's managed-service layer and are not accessible via data export. We document the current campaign structure, budget allocations, campaign names, and ad group names in a separate configuration artifact delivered with the migration package. The customer's Google Ads and Bing account owner must independently re-grant access to those accounts outside of Promio post-migration.
Promio
Reputation / Reviews
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact (custom fields)
1:1Promio aggregates review monitoring data (overall rating score, review site links, reputation trend) from third-party aggregators into the Customer record. We extract the aggregated rating and review URL as custom fields on the Salesforce Contact (promio_review_rating__c as number, promio_review_url__c as URL). This preserves reputation intelligence in the CRM even though the review monitoring tool itself may require a separate replacement.
Promio
Custom Properties (Leads)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead (custom fields)
lossyPromio allows custom fields on Lead records tied to campaign attribution and lead scoring. We inspect exported CSV headers during the extraction phase to discover all custom property names, then create matching custom fields on the Salesforce Lead object. Field type mapping follows Salesforce conventions: text to Text, numbers to Number, dates to Date. Custom field names receive a promio_ prefix to avoid collision with standard Salesforce fields.
Promio
Custom Properties (Customers)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact and Account (custom fields)
lossyPromio custom properties on Customer records map to custom fields on either Contact or Account depending on whether the property describes a person or an organization. We make this determination per field during the discovery phase. As with Lead custom fields, we use the promio_ prefix and set field-level security for the migration user before import.
Promio
User / Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Promio team members referenced on Lead, Customer, and Campaign records map to Salesforce User records by email address match. We extract all distinct owner email addresses from Promio's export and match against the destination Salesforce org's User table. Any Promio owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue; the customer's admin provisions the missing User before record import continues.
Promio
Call Recording
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Configuration artifact (out-of-scope)
1:1Promio call-tracking stores audio recordings on Promio's own hosting infrastructure and does not include audio files in CSV exports. We do not migrate call recordings. As a pre-flight checklist item, we instruct customers to download all required call recordings directly from Promio's interface before the migration cutover date. We deliver a call recording inventory list (Promio recording IDs, associated Lead or Customer IDs, and recording URLs) as a migration artifact so the customer can re-upload recordings to their chosen Salesforce-compatible telephony provider post-migration.
Promio
Landing Pages
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Configuration artifact (out-of-scope)
1:1Promio landing pages are served from promio.com subdomains and are not exportable as portable HTML or redirect-configurable assets. We inventory all active landing pages during scoping (URL, associated campaign, form fields used) and deliver a page-by-page rebuild requirements list as a migration artifact. The customer's web team or a Salesforce partner rebuilds the pages in the destination platform or on the customer's own website domain post-migration.

Migration approach
Discovery and Promio data export request
We audit the customer's Promio account across all active objects: Leads, Customers, Campaigns, and any custom properties visible in the export. We submit a formal data export request to Promio on the customer's behalf, specifying the required objects, date range, and field completeness expectations. While awaiting the export, we design the Salesforce destination schema: custom fields on Lead and Contact (with promio_ prefix), the promio_lifecycle_stage__c picklist with all five values, Campaign custom fields for attribution metrics, and the User reconciliation list by email address match.
Schema design and sandbox provisioning
We provision a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) and deploy the destination schema via Salesforce metadata API. This includes custom fields, page layouts scoped by record type, and any validation rules the customer's admin wants active during migration. We coordinate with the Salesforce admin to grant the migration user the necessary object permissions and field-level security on all custom fields before any data is loaded. The Promio export is validated for completeness: all expected objects present, all expected fields in headers, no truncated records.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Salesforce Sandbox using the production-equivalent Promio export. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts across all objects, spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Promio source, and validates the promio_lifecycle_stage__c values on Contact. Any missing custom fields discovered in the export that were not in the initial schema are added here. The admin signs off on the sandbox migration before production begins.
User reconciliation and Owner provisioning
We extract every distinct Promio owner email address referenced on Lead, Customer, and Campaign records and match by email against the destination Salesforce org's User table. Any Promio owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions the missing Users and sets them to Active or Inactive depending on whether the Promio team member is still employed. Owner resolution is a hard dependency: Account, Contact, Lead, and Campaign imports all require a valid OwnerId.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Promio Customer company fields), Contacts (with AccountId and OwnerId resolved, promio_lifecycle_stage__c set), Leads (with OwnerId resolved), Campaigns (with custom attribution fields), CampaignMembers (linking Leads to Campaigns), reputation custom fields on Contact, and finally any custom object records. Call recordings and landing pages are documented as out-of-scope artifacts. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, delta migration, and Workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Promio writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce as the system of record. We deliver the out-of-scope artifact package: landing page inventory, call recording cross-reference list, and ad account configuration documentation. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Promio automations as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
