Overview

What this migration involves

PropFlo is an AI-powered real estate CRM built for developers and agents, with domain-specific objects for AOS generation, demand notes, and unit inventory management. Freshsales is a sales CRM from Freshworks that handles leads, contacts, accounts, and deals with Freddy AI for contact lifecycle scoring and deal insights. The two platforms share a record-model foundation (contacts, companies, deals, activities) but diverge sharply on real estate specificity: PropFlo's AOS numbers, demand notes, unit types, and booking stages have no Freshsales equivalents and require custom fields or custom objects post-migration. We extract PropFlo data via API using scoped read access, transform the real estate-specific fields into Freshsales custom fields, and load through the Freshsales REST API. PropFlo's approval flows and WhatsApp-integrated workflows cannot migrate and must be rebuilt using Freshsales' automation module — we export workflow definitions as a reference document for your Freshsales admin. Custom fields are created in Freshsales before data lands, and a delta-pickup window captures any records modified during the cutover.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

PropFlo

What's pushing teams away

  • Teams outgrow the platform when scaling to multiple large projects with complex inventory across hundreds of units, requiring more sophisticated ERP-level controls.
  • Limited integration ecosystem compared to established CRMs — teams needing deep third-party accounting or marketing tool connections may find PropFlo's options constrained.
  • Some users note that as the product rapidly releases new features, the learning curve for staying current with updates can create temporary friction.

Choosing

Freshsales logo

Freshsales

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry among major CRMs — the free tier supports up to 3 users and includes core CRM functionality before committing to per-seat pricing.
  • Built-in chat, email, and phone reduce reliance on third-party integrations for basic sales communication and contact management.
  • Freddy AI contact scoring and deal insights are included on Pro plans at a lower price than comparable HubSpot tiers.
  • Kanban pipeline views across Contacts, Accounts, and Deals provide visual deal management without requiring custom configuration.
  • Integration with the broader Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshchat, Freshservice) reduces tool sprawl for teams already using Freshworks.

Object mapping

How PropFlo objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a PropFlo 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.

PropFlo

Contact

maps to

Freshsales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo contacts map directly to Freshsales contacts. Freshsales requires a primary AccountId on most contact records — PropFlo contacts without a company association are attached to a default 'Unassigned Account' or merged by email if a matching contact already exists.

PropFlo

Lead

maps to

Freshsales

Lead

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo leads map to Freshsales leads. Freshsales leads convert to contact, account, and deal on manual conversion. Lead fields migrate including custom properties. If your PropFlo instance does not use a separate lead module and all records are contacts, this object is skipped.

PropFlo

Company

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo companies map to Freshsales accounts. When mapping parent and child company hierarchies, we use Freshsales' Parent Account lookup field to preserve organizational relationships. If a single PropFlo contact is associated with multiple companies, we assign the primary AccountId based on the most recent interaction or your specified priority rule, and additional company associations are stored as Account Contact Relationships for complete relationship visibility.

PropFlo

Deal

maps to

Freshsales

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo deals map to Freshsales deals. The deal name, amount, close date, owner, and custom fields transfer. PropFlo's real estate-specific deal stages (site visit confirmed, booking form submitted) are stored as a custom stage field since Freshsales' native deal stages are sales-oriented and cannot accommodate real estate-specific terminology without customization.

PropFlo

Pipeline

maps to

Freshsales

Deal Status + Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo pipelines map to Freshsales Deal Status pick-list values. If PropFlo uses multiple pipelines such as separate pipelines for each property project, we preserve the original pipeline name as a custom text field (Pipeline_Source__c) on the Deal record. This enables segmentation and reporting across property projects in Freshsales without requiring separate Freshsales pipelines.

PropFlo

Pipeline Stage (real estate)

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Stage Field + Deal Stage

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo real estate stages such as 'Site Visit Confirmed', 'Booking Form Submitted', 'Agreement Drafted', and 'Registration Done' have no Freshsales native equivalent. We create a custom pick-list field (RE_Stage__c) on the Deal object, preserving stage names and their original transition timestamps for audit continuity. This ensures your historical stage progression data remains intact and viewable within Freshsales.

PropFlo

AOS (Allotment Order Status)

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Object: AOS_Record__c

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo AOS records — which track the allotment status, plot or unit reference, and agreement status per buyer — have no Freshsales standard object equivalent. We create a custom object (AOS_Record__c) linked to the Contact and Deal via lookup fields, preserving the AOS number, unit ID, and status value. The custom object maintains referential integrity so you can navigate from contact or deal records directly to their associated AOS information.

PropFlo

Demand Note

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Object: Demand_Note__c

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo demand notes are financial instruments tracking payment milestones per unit booking. They migrate as a Freshsales custom object (Demand_Note__c) with fields for note number, amount, due date, and status. The object links to the parent Contact and Deal for traceability, allowing your team to see all demand notes associated with a particular buyer or property transaction directly within the Freshsales interface.

PropFlo

Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)

maps to

Freshsales

Task / Event / Sales Activity

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo activities map to Freshsales tasks representing calls and emails, and events for meetings. Original timestamps, owners, and the associated contact or deal reference are all preserved during migration. PropFlo WhatsApp message logs are stored as task records with a custom WhatsApp source flag, maintaining the communication history within Freshsales alongside other interaction types.

PropFlo

Note

maps to

Freshsales

Note

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo notes migrate to Freshsales notes attached to the parent record. Basic rich-text formatting transfers successfully. Notes originally created by specific users retain their original owner assignment for audit continuity, ensuring accountability and traceability of communication history within the migrated dataset.

PropFlo

Attachment / File

maps to

Freshsales

Freshsales Files

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo file attachments are re-uploaded to Freshsales Files and linked to the parent Contact, Account, or Deal record as appropriate. Freshsales file storage limits vary by plan tier, with Growth providing 2GB per user, Pro offering 5GB per user, and Enterprise plans including 100GB of file storage capacity for larger migrations.

PropFlo

User / Owner

maps to

Freshsales

User

1:1
Fully supported

PropFlo owner IDs are resolved against Freshsales users by matching email addresses. Any unresolved owners where users have not yet been provisioned in Freshsales are flagged before migration proceeds and assigned to a designated fallback owner. The original PropFlo owner identity is preserved in a custom text field for complete audit trail continuity regardless of post-migration user assignments.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Real estate deal stages require a custom stage field — Freshsales Kanban will not display PropFlo stages natively

    PropFlo deal pipelines include real estate-specific stages such as 'Site Visit Done', 'Booking Form Submitted', 'Agreement Drafted', 'Registration Done', and 'Handover Done'. Freshsales' native deal Stage pick-list is sales-oriented and cannot accommodate these values without either replacing standard stages (which breaks Freshsales' own automation triggers) or adding a custom pick-list field. We create a custom field (RE_Stage__c) on the Deal object, map PropFlo stage values into it, and preserve stage transition timestamps. The Freshsales Kanban board will display the standard Stage; the custom RE_Stage__c field appears on the record detail for full visibility.

  • AOS and demand note objects need Freshsales custom object creation before migration — not available on Growth plan

    PropFlo's AOS (Allotment Order Status) records and demand notes are domain objects with no Freshsales standard equivalent. Freshsales custom objects must be created by an account administrator in the Freshworks developer console or by a Freshsales support ticket (Enterprise plan required for custom object creation on the Growth and Pro tiers). We cannot create custom objects via the public API without an Enterprise account. Before migration, we deliver a custom object definition document for your Freshsales admin to create AOS_Record__c and Demand_Note__c with the required fields and lookups to Contact and Deal.

  • Multi-company contact associations collapse to a single primary AccountId

    PropFlo allows a single contact to be associated with multiple companies (N:N relationship). Freshsales contacts have a single primary AccountId as a required lookup, with secondary company associations handled via Account Contact Relationships. We migrate one primary company per contact (the most recently modified association, or by your specified rule) and surface the remaining company associations as Account Contact Relationship records. If your team relies on seeing all associated companies at a glance on the contact record, this requires a custom Lightning component or Freshsales Canvas app.

  • Freshsales API uses different field names for pipeline stages across its Classic and Suite versions

    Freshsales has undergone platform iterations over the years. The original Freshsales Classic used a 'stage' field on Deals via API, while the newer Freshsales Suite changed this to 'deal_status_id' or 'pipeline_id' for pipeline scoping. Using the wrong field name causes validation errors during the migration load. We detect your Freshsales account version during the pre-flight check and route API calls to the correct endpoint (freshsales.io vs. freshdesk.com domains) to avoid stage assignment failures.

  • Freshsales Growth and Pro plans limit custom modules and advanced workflows — plan tier affects what migrates

    Custom modules in Freshsales are available only on the Enterprise plan ($59/user/month). On Growth ($9) and Pro ($39) plans, AOS and demand note custom objects cannot be created through the UI. We handle this by delivering a custom object definition document for your Freshsales admin or support ticket to create before migration. Additionally, advanced workflows that trigger on deal stage changes require Freshsales Pro or Enterprise — Growth plan workflows have simpler logic that may not replicate PropFlo's multi-step approval flows.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful PropFlo to Freshsales data migration

  1. Pre-flight audit and schema setup plan

    We connect to your PropFlo instance via scoped API read access and audit your record counts, custom field inventory, pipeline configurations, and real estate stage definitions. We simultaneously deliver a Freshsales schema setup plan: custom fields (RE_Stage__c, Lifecycle_Stage__c, Property_Interest__c, Pipeline_Source__c), custom objects (AOS_Record__c, Demand_Note__c), and stage value mapping rules. Your Freshsales admin creates these before data lands. We validate the setup before proceeding to the migration run.

  2. Owner resolution by email match

    PropFlo owner IDs are resolved against Freshsales users by matching email addresses. Unmatched owners — users not yet provisioned in Freshsales — are flagged with a report and assigned to a designated fallback owner. We preserve the original PropFlo owner identity in a custom field (Owner_Source__c) so the audit trail is complete regardless of which Freshsales user is assigned post-migration.

  3. Sequenced migration: contacts and accounts first, then deals, then activities and files

    Freshsales requires AccountId on Contacts and Contact lookups on Deals before deals can be saved. We sequence the migration: (1) Accounts from PropFlo companies, (2) Contacts and Leads with AccountId resolution, (3) Deals with deal owner assignment and stage mapping, (4) Activities and Notes, (5) Files re-uploaded to Freshsales Files and linked to parent records. AOS and demand note custom objects are created last after their parent Contact and Deal records exist.

  4. Sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, and activities — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing every source value, mapped destination field, and any transformation applied. You verify that PropFlo lifecycle stages map to Freshsales Lifecycle_Stage__c correctly, real estate stages land in RE_Stage__c, AOS numbers appear on the linked AOS_Record__c object, and owner resolution is clean. No records are deleted or overwritten in Freshsales until you approve.

  5. Full migration with delta-pickup and audit log

    The full migration runs against Freshsales via the REST API. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any PropFlo records modified or created during the cutover. Every API operation is logged — record created, updated, skipped, or failed — with source and destination IDs for reconciliation. One-click rollback reverts all migrated records to the pre-migration state if a critical issue surfaces during validation.
