Overview
Moving from Regal.io to Salesforce is an architectural shift from an event-driven contact model to a relational CRM object model. Regal defines a Contact as a reachable person with a phone number, and all profile updates and behavioral events flow through a single API endpoint. Salesforce separates unqualified prospects into Leads, qualified buyers into Contacts attached to Accounts, and behavioral events into Task and Event records that must be explicitly linked via WhoId and WhatId lookups. We resolve the event-to-Activity gap by extracting every Regal Event type, mapping each to a Salesforce custom field or Activity record, and preserving the event timestamp so the behavioral timeline survives the transfer. Call transcripts and recordings land as ContentDocument and Task records attached to the Contact; SMS threads become Task records. We do not migrate AI Agent scripts (non-exportable from Regal), Journeys (documented as conditional rules for manual rebuild), or branded caller ID (requires re-registration at the telephony provider).
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 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.
Regal.io
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead or Contact (split required)
1:manyRegal Contacts with no Opportunity association and no sales-qualified event history map to Salesforce Lead. Contacts with an active Campaign membership, sales event history, or a mapped Opportunity in Regal's data export map to Salesforce Contact attached to an Account. We compute the split using Regal's contact_status, campaign_membership, and last_event_type properties during the transform phase. The original Regal contact ID is preserved in regalid__c on both Lead and Contact for cross-system audit.
Regal.io
Contact Attributes
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Standard and Custom Fields on Lead/Contact
1:1Regal's custom contact profile fields (tenant-specific attributes beyond phone, email, and name) map to Salesforce standard fields if the field names align (Title, Department, Address) and to custom fields (AttributeName__c) for tenant-specific schema. We extract the full Regal attribute schema via the API before migration and pre-create the corresponding Salesforce custom fields in a Sandbox validation before production import.
Regal.io
Event
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task or Custom Activity Fields
1:1Regal Events (behavioral records with type, timestamp, and properties) have no direct Salesforce equivalent. We map each Event type to a Salesforce custom field on Contact (event_type__c, event_timestamp__c, event_properties__c as JSON) or to a Task record with TaskSubtype set to LoggedEvent and the WhoId pointing to the Contact. The mapping choice is made per event type during scoping: high-cardinality event types (opens, page views) become custom fields; meaningful interaction events (calls, meetings, stage changes) become Task records with subject and description preserved.
Regal.io
Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign + CampaignMember
1:1Regal Campaigns define outbound programs with list selection, cadence, and goal metrics. We map Campaign records to Salesforce Campaign, preserving campaign name, goal metrics, and list size. Campaign membership (which Contacts were in which Campaign) migrates as Salesforce CampaignMember records linked to the Campaign and the Contact. Cadence and list-refresh logic is platform-specific and documented for manual rebuild in Salesforce Campaigns or Sales Engagement.
Regal.io
Journey
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Written Conditional Rule Documentation
lossyRegal Journeys are event-triggered workflows with conditional branching across voice, SMS, and email steps. We do not migrate Journeys as automation code. Instead, we produce a step-by-step conditional rule document for each active Journey: trigger event, step sequence, condition branches, and action types. This document is handed to the customer's admin or a Salesforce partner to rebuild in Flow or Salesforce Sales Engagement. The Journey handoff document is scoped separately and delivered before production cutover.
Regal.io
AI Agent
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Not Migratable
lossyRegal AI Agent configurations (voice scripts, decision trees, persona settings, handoff logic) are tied to Regal's proprietary agent runtime and cannot be downloaded via API or UI. We explicitly exclude Agent logic from migration scope. We do migrate the Agent outcome data (conversation disposition, transfer reason, containment flag) as custom fields on Contact or Task so that the business context survives even if the agent logic must be rebuilt from scratch at the destination.
Regal.io
Call Recording
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument + ContentVersion
1:1Call recordings in Regal's media storage are exported as audio files. We import them into Salesforce as ContentVersion records and link them to the Contact via ContentDocumentLink. File availability depends on Regal's retention settings at the time of export; we verify recording access during discovery and flag any gaps in the migration scope letter. Salesforce storage limits (5 GB per user on Professional) apply and are accounted for during capacity planning.
Regal.io
Call Transcript
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task (TaskSubtype = Call) with custom transcript field
1:1Call transcripts migrate as Salesforce Task records with TaskSubtype = Call, the original transcript body stored in a custom Long Text Area field (call_transcript__c), and call disposition stored in a custom picklist (call_disposition__c). Activity timeline ordering is preserved by setting ActivityDate to the original Regal event timestamp.
Regal.io
SMS Thread
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task with custom thread body
1:1SMS conversational history is extracted from Regal as thread-level data (direction, timestamp, message body). We migrate each SMS as a Task record with TaskSubtype = SMS, Subject = 'SMS: [Contact Name]', and the message body stored in a custom Long Text Area field (sms_body__c). Thread continuity in Salesforce is preserved by setting the RelatedToId (WhatId) to the Contact and ordering by ActivityDate.
Regal.io
Email Thread
Salesforce Sales Cloud
EmailMessage + Task
1:1Email threads associated with Regal Contacts migrate to Salesforce EmailMessage records (the message content) linked to a Task record (the activity timeline entry). The WhoId on Task points to the migrated Lead or Contact; message direction (sent/received), timestamp, and subject line are preserved. Email attachments migrate as ContentDocument records linked to the EmailMessage.
Regal.io
Custom Objects
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Objects (__c)
1:1Regal Custom Objects (Growth and Enterprise tiers) store complex customer data outside the standard Contact attribute schema. We map each Regal Custom Object to a Salesforce custom object of the same API name (with __c suffix). Lookup relationships from Custom Objects to Contact are preserved as External ID fields in Salesforce. We pre-create the destination schema in a Sandbox before production migration, including all custom fields, picklist values, and validation rules.
Regal.io
Branded Caller ID (CNAM)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Telephony Provider Documentation
lossyRegal's branded caller ID (CNAM) configuration is tied to carrier registration and domain ownership records at Regal's telephony provider. We export the CNAM registration details, carrier agreements, and campaign-level caller ID assignments as a documented handoff for re-registration at the customer's new telephony provider. Salesforce does not natively manage CNAM; this is a telephony setup task outside Salesforce's CRM scope.
Regal.io
CDP/CRM Integration Endpoints
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Integration Documentation
lossyRegal's live integrations with Segment, HubSpot, Braze, Iterable, and other platforms define which contacts are synced and how. We document every active Regal integration endpoint, sync direction, and field mapping as part of the migration scope letter. Post-migration, the customer re-establishes integrations pointing to Salesforce instead of Regal. We provide the integration configuration checklist but do not rebuild the integrations themselves.
Regal.io
Opportunity (Regal-synced)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Regal's Salesforce sync creates Opportunities that reference Salesforce Opportunity IDs. If the migration source Regal instance had a bidirectional Salesforce sync active, those Opportunities may already exist in the destination Salesforce org. We deduplicate by Salesforce Opportunity ID where present, and import any Regal-originated Opportunity data that has no matching Salesforce record as a new Opportunity with the regal_opportunity_id__c external ID field for reconciliation.

Migration approach
Discovery and Regal API audit
We audit the source Regal instance for Contact count, custom attribute schema, Event volume by type, active Journey count and complexity, Campaign membership data, Custom Object definitions and record counts, AI Agent configurations (documented for rebuild, not migrated), and call recording availability. We also confirm whether a live Regal-Salesforce sync is active and identify any Opportunities already in the destination org. The discovery output is a written migration scope letter, a data quality report (missing phone numbers, duplicate contacts, event cardinality by type), and a Salesforce edition recommendation.
Event-to-Activity mapping design and Salesforce schema provisioning
We design the destination schema in Salesforce Sandbox: custom fields on Contact and Lead for Regal event data (event_last_type__c, event_last_timestamp__c, event_json__c), Salesforce Tasks for meaningful interaction events, Record Types on Opportunity if the customer has multiple deal types, and any Custom Objects (__c) matching the Regal Custom Object schema. We design the Contact-to-Lead split rule using Regal's contact status and campaign membership properties. Schema is deployed via metadata API into the Sandbox for validation before any data moves.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer validates record counts (Contacts in, Leads in, Accounts in, Opportunities in, Tasks in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Regal source for field accuracy, and reviews the event-to-Activity mapping output. Any field mapping corrections, split rule adjustments, or event-type reclassification happen in Sandbox before production migration begins. The Sandbox sign-off is a required gate.
Regal-Salesforce sync pause and production migration
We coordinate with the customer to pause the live Regal-Salesforce bidirectional sync before production migration begins. We run production migration in dependency order: Salesforce Users (validated by email match), Accounts (from Regal data if any exist), Leads and Contacts (with the split rule applied and regalid__c preserved), Custom Objects (with lookup resolution to Contact), Opportunities (with deduplication against any sync-created records), Event data (as custom fields and Task records per the mapping design), SMS and email threads (as Task records), and call transcripts (as Task records). We use the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with batch chunking and exponential backoff for all large record sets.
Cutover, delta sync, and Journey rebuild handoff
We freeze writes in Regal during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce as the CRM of record. We deliver the Journey conditional rule documentation (one document per active Journey) and the AI Agent outcome field mapping to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Regal Journeys as Salesforce Flow or AI Agent logic inside the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's admin or a Salesforce implementation partner.
