Overview
Rubi CRM and Salesforce are architecturally different systems. Rubi CRM is built around a membership and events data model with Contacts, Companies, Members, Memberships, and Events as primary objects; it has no native pipeline object and stores Kanban stage values as custom fields against deal records. Salesforce uses Account-Contact, Lead-Opportunity, and Event relationships. We map Members and Memberships as Contact records with custom membership status and tier fields, we extract the Kanban stage values during scoping and map them to Salesforce Opportunity stage names, and we import Events with seat-level attendance data stored in EventRelation records. Rubi CRM does not expose a public schema endpoint, so we discover custom field names during the scoping export and provision matching fields in Salesforce before any data moves. Workflows, automations, and the Outlook email plugin configuration do not migrate; we deliver a written automation inventory and email plugin replacement plan for your admin to implement in Salesforce. Reports and Audit Logs export as flat snapshots and cannot be migrated as relational records.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Rubi CRM 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.
Rubi CRM
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Rubi CRM Contact records map directly to Salesforce Contact. Standard fields (Name, Email, Phone, MailingAddress) migrate 1:1. We map any Rubi CRM custom contact properties as Salesforce custom fields, discovered during the scoping export by analysing field names in the raw payload. The Rubi CRM Contact's related Company record provides the AccountId lookup on the Salesforce side, resolved by company name match during import.
Rubi CRM
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Rubi CRM Company records map to Salesforce Account. Company name becomes Account Name; business address maps to BillingAddress. The Rubi CRM Company-Contact relationship is preserved as the Account-Contact lookup. We use company name as the dedupe key during import to avoid duplicate Accounts. Account is created before Contact import so that AccountId is satisfied at Contact insert time.
Rubi CRM
Member
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:manyRubi CRM Member is a distinct record type tied to the membership module. We map Member records to Salesforce Contacts with a set of custom fields: membership_status__c (Active, Lapsed, Cancelled), membership_tier__c (mapped from Rubi CRM tier name), and membership_start_date__c. Rubi CRM does not expose a schema endpoint, so we discover tier field names during the scoping export and create matching picklist fields in Salesforce before migration. If a Member record has no corresponding Contact (person-only membership), we create a Contact first and attach the membership fields.
Rubi CRM
Membership
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
lossyMembership records track individual subscriptions against Member profiles. We map start date, end date, and tier name to the Contact-level custom fields created during the Member mapping. Rubi CRM does not export full subscription history in a single pass, so we pull the most recent active or most-recently-ended Membership record per Member. Renewal date and auto-renew flags become membership_renewal_date__c and membership_auto_renew__c custom fields on Contact.
Rubi CRM
Event
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Event
1:1Rubi CRM Events map to Salesforce Event. Event Name maps to Subject, Event Date maps to StartDateTime, and booking status maps to a custom picklist event_booking_status__c. Seat-level attendance data requires a separate export run from the Events module after the initial event-metadata migration. We import attendee records as Salesforce EventRelation records linking the Event to the related Contact or Member. Event duration and location map to EndDateTime and Location fields.
Rubi CRM
Training
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Event
1:1Rubi CRM Training records are treated as a sub-type of Event with the same mapping rules. Training-specific fields (instructor, session code, CPD hours) migrate as custom fields on the Salesforce Event record. Training attendance, like Event attendance, requires a second export run for seat-level records.
Rubi CRM
Sales Pipeline
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity + Sales Process
lossyRubi CRM uses a Kanban-style pipeline view, but stage names are user-defined custom fields stored against deal records rather than a native pipeline object. We extract all distinct stage values during the scoping call by reviewing Rubi CRM deal records, then configure corresponding Opportunity StageName values in Salesforce before migration. Each Kanban stage becomes a Salesforce Opportunity Stage with probability, closed-won, and closed-lost flags. If the customer uses multiple Kanban boards, we map each to a Salesforce Record Type with its own Sales Process.
Rubi CRM
Task
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1Rubi CRM Tasks map directly to Salesforce Task. Owner assignment migrates by resolving the Rubi CRM owner email to the Salesforce User record via the owner reconciliation queue. Due date, status (Open, Completed), and priority map 1:1. Tasks with no assigned owner are held until the admin provisions the User in Salesforce.
Rubi CRM
Activity (Outlook plugin)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task + EmailMessage
1:1Emails logged via the Rubi CRM Microsoft Outlook plugin are stored as Activities linked to Contacts. We export Activity timestamps, subject, and body text and map them to Salesforce Task records for the activity timeline entry, with the email body and thread preserved as an EmailMessage record linked to the Task. Thread-level threading from the original email is not preserved because the Outlook plugin does not export thread IDs. Rubi CRM does not support outbound email sequences or automation, so there is no equivalent cadence data to migrate.
Rubi CRM
Custom Fields
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields
lossyRubi CRM allows custom fields per record type but does not expose a schema endpoint. We discover custom field names and types during the scoping export by analysing the raw JSON payload of exported records. Before production migration, we provision matching Salesforce custom fields (with correct field types: text, picklist, date, checkbox, number) in a Salesforce Sandbox for validation, then deploy to production org. This step adds one to two weeks to the migration timeline and must complete before any record import begins.
Rubi CRM
Reports and Audit Logs
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Report inventory document
1:1Rubi CRM Reports module exports flat snapshots rather than relational data and its Audit Log tracks user actions without containing CRM records. Neither is a viable migration source. We do not migrate these objects. We deliver a written inventory of all Saved Reports with their field selections, filters, and chart configurations so the customer's admin can recreate them in Salesforce's reporting engine. Audit Log exports should be retained as CSV files on the customer's own storage for compliance purposes.
Rubi CRM
Companies (relationship to Members)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account (relationship to Contacts)
1:1Rubi CRM allows Members to be linked to Companies. We resolve this relationship by matching the Rubi CRM company reference against the Company name in the export, then map to the Salesforce Account-Contact relationship. If a Member is linked to a Company that has no corresponding Contact in Rubi CRM, we create the Contact record first and attach the Account lookup to preserve the business relationship in Salesforce.

Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the Rubi CRM account across all objects: Contacts, Companies, Members, Memberships, Events, Training, Tasks, and any exported Activities. We run a preliminary API export or CSV extraction to discover custom field names and types (since Rubi CRM has no public schema endpoint), to extract Kanban stage values from deal records, and to identify the membership tier field and its picklist values. We also request Developer Hub access during this phase so that API credentials are in place before production export begins. The discovery output is a written migration scope with object counts, a custom field inventory, a Kanban-stage-to-Opportunity-StageName mapping, and a Salesforce edition recommendation (Professional at $80/user for most cases; Enterprise at $165/user if the customer requires advanced Flow or custom report types).
Schema design and custom field provisioning
We design the destination Salesforce schema based on the scoping findings. This includes provisioning custom fields on Contact for membership_status__c, membership_tier__c, membership_start_date__c, membership_renewal_date__c, and membership_auto_renew__c; custom fields on Event for event_booking_status__c, training_instructor__c, training_session_code__c, and training_cpd_hours__c; Opportunity stage values from the Kanban mapping; and any record-specific custom fields discovered in the export. Salesforce custom fields are provisioned in a Sandbox first for validation, then deployed to the production org before any record import begins. This step typically adds one to two weeks to the timeline and must complete before Step 3.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) using production-equivalent data volume. The customer's admin or data lead reconciles record counts across all objects, spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Rubi CRM source data, validates that membership tier values match the picklist, confirms Event attendance records are linked via EventRelation, and signs off the mapping. Any field mapping corrections, picklist value additions, or relationship fixes happen in the Sandbox before production migration begins.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Rubi CRM user referenced as an owner on Contacts, Companies, Members, Events, and Tasks and match them by email address against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any Rubi CRM user without a matching Salesforce User is added to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions missing Users (active or inactive based on whether the Rubi CRM user is still active). Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId references are required on most standard objects.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Rubi CRM Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved and membership custom fields populated), Members mapped as Contacts with membership fields (with the original Member ID preserved in rubi_member_id__c for traceability), Opportunities (with stage and pipeline values resolved from the Kanban mapping), Events (event metadata first, EventRelation attendance records second), and Tasks (with OwnerId resolved from the User queue). Custom fields are populated throughout. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Rubi CRM 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 preserve Rubi CRM record IDs in a rubi_source_id__c custom field on each migrated record. We deliver the automation and Workflow inventory document (including the Outlook plugin configuration) to the customer's admin team for rebuild in Salesforce Flow or Lightning for Outlook. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Rubi CRM Workflows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
