Overview
Moving from Salescamp CRM to Freshsales is a structural migration because the two platforms organize prospect data differently. Salescamp uses a Collection-scoped CSV export model with no public API, so all extraction requires a manual per-Collection export step and explicit scoping confirmation before migration begins. Freshsales separates Leads, Contacts, and Accounts as distinct objects with a Lead Conversion action that creates all three simultaneously. We export each Salescamp Collection as a separate CSV, deduplicate records that span Collections, map Leads to Freshsales Contacts and Companies to Accounts, and attach deal history to Deals with the parent lookup resolved at import time. Activities from Salescamp migrate as Tasks in Freshsales, noting that engagement records not included in the primary Lead CSV require a supplemental export request during discovery. Custom fields and user-owner assignments migrate with type validation and email-based lookup respectively. Workflows, automations, and SMS/Call configurations do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer to rebuild in Freshsales.
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 Salescamp CRM 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.
Salescamp CRM
Lead
Freshsales
Lead or Contact
1:1Salescamp Leads map to Freshsales Leads on initial import. During Freshsales Lead Conversion, a Contact, Account, and Deal are created simultaneously. We preserve the original Salescamp lead status and source fields in Freshsales custom fields so that the customer's admin can configure the Lead Conversion field mapping in Freshsales Admin settings before migration or set it up post-import. Records that have already been qualified in Salescamp can be imported directly as Contacts with AccountId resolved.
Salescamp CRM
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1Salescamp Company records map to Freshsales Account. We use the Company name or domain as the dedupe key during import. If Salescamp records do not include Companies, we create Account records from Contact company data extracted from Lead records. Account is created before any Lead or Contact import so that the AccountId lookup is satisfied at the moment of insert.
Salescamp CRM
Deal Pipeline
Freshsales
Deal
1:1Salescamp Deal stages and values map to Freshsales Deal with stage mapped to Freshsales Deal Stage. If Salescamp uses multiple pipelines, we create separate Deal record types in Freshsales corresponding to each pipeline. We validate stage probability values against Freshsales allowed range and round to the nearest integer. Closed-won and closed-lost reasons from Salescamp custom fields become Freshsales Deal custom fields.
Salescamp CRM
Collection
Freshsales
Contact List or Tag
lossySalescamp Collections are organizational groupings of Leads with no direct Freshsales equivalent. We export each Collection's member list separately, then map Collection membership to Freshsales Contact Lists (static lists) or Tags on the migrated Contact record. The customer chooses the target strategy during scoping. Collections with complex membership rules (dynamic or multi-Criteria) are mapped as Tags with a note that the customer rebuilds the equivalent segmentation in Freshsales.
Salescamp CRM
Activity (Call, SMS, Email)
Freshsales
Task
1:manySalescamp Call logs and SMS records migrate as Freshsales Task records with TaskSubtype set to Call for call logs and a custom Task type for SMS. Email sync history migrates as Tasks with the email body preserved. Activity records may require a supplemental export beyond the primary Lead CSV; we check column availability during scoping and request supplemental exports if engagement history is omitted from the standard export. Timestamps and owner assignments are preserved via email-based User lookup.
Salescamp CRM
User / Owner
Freshsales
User
1:1Salescamp Users and Owners referenced on Lead, Deal, and Activity records are mapped to Freshsales Users by email address. Any Owner without a matching Freshsales User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Inactive Salescamp users are mapped to inactive Freshsales users with a flag so that the customer can reactivate post-migration.
Salescamp CRM
Custom Field
Freshsales
Custom Field
1:1Salescamp custom fields on Leads, Companies, and Deals migrate as Freshsales custom fields of equivalent type. We validate type compatibility during scoping: text fields map to text, picklists map to dropdown, date fields map to date. Multi-select picklists in Salescamp require pre-creation of Freshsales multi-select fields before migration. Any custom field that cannot be type-mapped is flagged with the customer's admin for manual review before import.
Salescamp CRM
Goal
Freshsales
Custom Field or Report
1:1Salescamp Goals represent sales targets set per user or team and do not have a direct Freshsales equivalent. We migrate goal definitions as custom numeric fields on the User object or as a custom Goals object if the customer's Freshsales plan supports custom objects. Goal achievement tracking and dashboard visualizations are recreated as Freshsales Reports by the customer's admin post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We request CSV exports from each Salescamp Collection (three-dot menu > Export) and validate row counts against Collection record counts. We audit the full field set in each CSV, check for supplemental Call log, SMS, and email history exports, and inventory all active users and owners referenced on records. We identify custom fields, deal pipeline stages, and any Salescamp-specific configurations (Collections, Goals) that require mapping decisions. This step produces a written migration scope and field mapping specification for the customer's sign-off.
Deduplication and CSV normalization
We reconcile duplicate Lead records that appear across multiple Salescamp Collection exports using email as the dedupe key. For records with conflicting field values, we flag the conflict for the customer's admin to resolve. We normalize date formats, trim whitespace, and validate required field presence. We split the normalized CSV into Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and Activities, and prepare a custom fields manifest for pre-creation in Freshsales Admin settings.
Freshsales schema preparation
We work with the customer's Freshsales admin to pre-create all required custom fields on Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals. We configure the Lead field mapping for conversion (mapping Salescamp lead status and source fields to Freshsales custom fields), set up Deal stage probabilities matching the Salescamp pipeline, and create Contact Lists or Tags for each Salescamp Collection. This step ensures the import does not silently drop data due to missing destination fields.
Sandbox or pilot import
For accounts with more than 2,000 records, we run a pilot import into a Freshsales test account or sandbox environment to validate field mappings, deduplication logic, and Activity attachment. The customer's admin spot-checks 25-50 records against the Salescamp source and signs off before production migration begins. Corrections to field mapping, duplicate handling, and custom field type issues are resolved in the pilot phase.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts first (from Salescamp Companies), then Contacts (with AccountId resolved), then Deals (with Contact/Account lookups and stage assignments), then Activity history as Tasks. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Owner references are resolved by email match against the Freshsales User table, with any unresolved owners queued for admin provisioning.
Cutover, validation, and inventory handoff
We freeze Salescamp writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window. We deliver a migration validation report showing record counts per object and per Collection mapping. We hand off the automation and workflow inventory document listing any Salescamp automations, goals, and Collection rules requiring rebuild in Freshsales. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild automations, sequences, or integrations as part of standard migration scope.
