Overview
Regal.io and Freshsales serve different operational layers. Regal is a telephony-first voice AI platform where Contacts and behavioral Events form a real-time outreach engine tied to AI Agent runs, branded caller ID, and Journey automations. Freshsales is a general CRM with standard objects (Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Products, Tasks, Events) and Freddy AI for follow-up automation. This migration moves the data model, not the automation layer. We extract Regal Contacts and their Event history, split them into Freshsales Leads and Contacts based on phone-number contactability and campaign eligibility, map Custom Objects to Freshsales custom objects, and preserve call transcripts and SMS threads as activity notes. We do not migrate AI Agent configurations, Journey decision trees, or branded caller ID registration. Those require manual rebuild in Freshsales or Freshsales CRM voice integrations post-migration.
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 Regal.io 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.
Regal.io
Contact
Freshsales
Lead or Contact (split required)
1:manyRegal Contacts map to Freshsales Lead if the contact is pre-qualified only (no active deal association) or if phone number is present but no campaign eligibility flag is set. Contacts with campaign membership and Journey enrollment map to Freshsales Contact tied to an Account. We compute the split using Regal's contactability status and campaign_enrollment flags during extraction. The original Regal contact_id is preserved in a custom field regal_original_id__c for audit and cross-referencing.
Regal.io
Contact Attributes
Freshsales
Custom Fields on Lead and Contact
1:1Regal Contact Attributes (custom profile fields per tenant) are extracted from the full attribute schema before migration. Each attribute is mapped to a Freshsales custom field of equivalent type: string to text, number to number, boolean to checkbox, date to date. Multi-value attributes (e.g., campaign_tags) map to Freshsales multi-select picklist. We pre-create all custom fields in Freshsales before record import begins.
Regal.io
Event (behavioral)
Freshsales
Task and Note records
1:manyRegal Events are behavioral records (call outcome, SMS sent, email opened, Journey step triggered) attached to a Contact. Because Freshsales does not have a native event-stream object, we transform Events into Activity records: call outcome Events become Tasks with TaskSubtype=Call and disposition preserved; SMS and email Events become Notes attached to the Contact or Lead. The original event_type and event_properties are stored as JSON in a custom text field event_payload__c for audit.
Regal.io
Campaign
Freshsales
Lead Source + Custom Field
lossyRegal Campaigns define outbound programs with list selection, cadence, and goals. We map campaign membership and campaign status to Freshsales custom fields on Lead and Contact (campaign_name__c, campaign_status__c). Campaign goal metrics (target contacts, connected calls) are documented as text notes for manual entry in Freshsales reporting. Cadence and list-refresh logic is platform-specific and does not transfer.
Regal.io
Custom Object
Freshsales
Custom Object
1:1Regal Custom Objects (Opportunities, Appointments, Quotes, Loan Applications, etc.) map to Freshsales custom objects of equivalent API name. We pre-create the destination schema in Freshsales including all custom fields, lookup relationships to Contact or Account, and any validation rules. The mapping of Custom Event triggers to Custom Object record updates is documented as a step-by-step configuration guide for the customer's Freshsales admin to rebuild.
Regal.io
Call Transcript
Freshsales
Note
1:1Regal call transcripts are exported as structured text and attached as Freshsales Notes linked to the Contact or Lead. We map call disposition, duration (in seconds), and recording availability (flagged if unavailable due to Regal retention policy) to Note custom fields. Audio file availability is confirmed with Regal at extraction time; if recordings are unavailable, we document this gap in the migration report.
Regal.io
SMS Thread
Freshsales
Activity Note on Contact
1:1Regal SMS conversational history is associated with Contact records. We extract thread-level data (direction, content, timestamp) and reattach it to the Freshsales Contact as a series of timestamped Notes with a sms_thread__c flag. Thread continuity in Freshsales depends on the CRM's activity rendering; we document the expected display behavior so the customer's team knows what to expect.
Regal.io
AI Agent Configuration
Freshsales
Not Migrated
1:1Regal AI Agent configurations (voice scripts, decision trees, persona settings) are tied to Regal's proprietary agent runtime and cannot be exported via API or UI. We explicitly exclude Agent logic from migration scope and flag it for manual rebuild. We do migrate conversation outcome data and Journey trigger conditions so business context is preserved even if agent logic must be recreated. Freshsales Freddy AI is a separate assistant feature, not a direct replacement for Regal's agent runtime.
Regal.io
Journey
Freshsales
Not Migrated
1:1Regal Journeys are conditional, event-triggered sequences of voice, SMS, and email steps built in a no-code Journey Builder. We document Journey logic as step-by-step conditional rules (trigger event, conditions, action sequence) in a written inventory so the customer's admin can reconstruct them in Freshsales CRM workflows or a separate automation tool. Freshsales Workflows are property-triggered but do not support the same event-stream model that drives Regal Journeys.
Regal.io
Branded Caller ID
Freshsales
Not Migrated
1:1Regal branded caller ID (CNAM) configuration is carrier-specific and tied to Regal's telephony infrastructure. We export the carrier registration details and domain ownership records as a text document for the customer's IT team to re-register in the destination telephony platform. Freshsales CRM does not have native branded caller ID; the customer will need a third-party voice provider (Freshsales CRM Voice or an alternative like Aircall, Dialpad, or Twilio) to re-establish CNAM.

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.
Regal.io gotchas
Regal API is a single-events endpoint
AI Agent scripts and decision trees are non-exportable
No public pricing or documented tier limits
Contact contactability status is phone-number-dependent
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
Discovery and schema audit
We audit the source Regal account for Contact volume, attribute schema, Custom Object types and event linkages, Campaign count, Event history volume, call transcript and recording availability, and active AI Agent and Journey configurations. We pair this with a Freshsales tier recommendation (Growth at $47/user or Pro at $79/user) based on custom object count, Freddy AI requirements, and user seat count. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a Freshsales tier recommendation, and an exclusion list (AI Agents, Journeys, branded caller ID) that requires manual rebuild post-migration.
Freshsales schema pre-creation
We create the destination schema in Freshsales before any data loads: custom fields on Lead and Contact (mapped from Regal Contact Attributes), Custom Objects with lookup relationships to Contact and Account, custom picklist values for campaign and Journey status, and any required validation rules. Schema is validated in a Freshsales sandbox or trial org before production migration begins.
Contact extraction and Lead-Contact split
We extract all Regal Contacts and their attribute data, apply the contactability split rule (contactable with phone maps to Contact; non-contactable or pre-campaign maps to Lead), and generate the target record payloads for Freshsales. Records are deduplicated by phone number before insertion. The regal_original_id__c field preserves the Regal contact ID for audit.
Event-to-activity transformation and import
We export the full Regal Event history and transform each event record into a Freshsales Task or Note. Call outcome events become Tasks with TaskSubtype=Call and disposition fields; SMS and email events become Notes with thread direction and content. The original event_payload__c JSON field preserves the full event properties for reconciliation. Events are imported in timestamp order to preserve activity timeline sequencing.
Custom Object and linked record migration
We import Regal Custom Objects (Opportunities, Quotes, Appointments, etc.) into Freshsales custom objects, resolving lookup relationships to the parent Contact or Account. Call transcripts and SMS threads are attached as Notes to the relevant Contact or Lead record. Audio recording availability is confirmed with Regal before extraction; if unavailable due to retention policy, we document the gap in the migration report.
Cutover, delta sync, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Regal writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Freshsales as the system of record. We deliver the Journey and AI Agent inventory document to the customer's admin team with step-by-step reconstruction guidance for Freshsales Workflows and Freddy AI rules. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Journeys or AI Agents as Freshsales workflows inside the migration scope.
