Overview
Moving from Salesflare to Salesforce is a migration from a lightweight B2B CRM with automated data entry to an enterprise-grade platform with unlimited customization. Salesflare's Account-Contact junction migrates directly to Salesforce's Account-Contact model, but Salesflare's single-pipeline focus and built-in email sequences require architectural decisions in Salesforce. We preserve the Account-Contact relationship explicitly, map Salesflare opportunity stages to Salesforce StageName values, and resolve OwnerId references via email lookup against the destination User table. Activity history (logged calls, emails, meetings) migrates through the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with parent-record resolution to the correct Contact and Opportunity. Email sequences, custom dashboards, and lead credit metadata do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every sequence and dashboard requiring rebuild in Salesforce.
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 Salesflare 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.
Salesflare
Account
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Salesflare Account records map directly to Salesforce Account. Standard fields (name, domain, industry, location) migrate 1:1. We use the Salesflare account domain as the dedupe key during import to prevent duplicate Accounts. Any custom properties on the Salesflare Account object pre-create as Salesforce custom fields (__c) before Account migration begins.
Salesflare
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Salesflare Contact records map to Salesforce Contact with the AccountId Lookup resolved from the parent Salesflare Account. We preserve the Account-Contact junction explicitly as a Salesforce Contact linked to the corresponding AccountId. Email, phone, title, social links, and enrichment data (from Salesflare signature scraping) migrate as standard and custom Contact fields.
Salesflare
Account-Contact Relationship
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account-Contact Junction
1:1The Salesflare Account-Contact junction is a first-class relationship. We preserve primary versus secondary contact roles in a custom field sf_primary_contact__c on Contact. The junction migrates as a lookup insert sequence: Accounts first, then Contacts with AccountId populated, then the junction role metadata as a custom field on Contact.
Salesflare
Opportunity
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Salesflare Opportunities map to Salesforce Opportunity. Deal value, stage name, expected close date, and owner assignment migrate directly. We resolve the Salesflare pipeline and stage labels against a pre-created Salesforce Record Type and Sales Process. If Salesflare stages do not map cleanly to Salesforce stage values, we create custom stage names in the destination org before migration.
Salesflare
Pipeline
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Record Type + Sales Process
lossySalesflare pipelines (up to 5 on Pro/Enterprise) map to Salesforce Opportunity Record Types. Each Record Type gets a corresponding Sales Process that whitelists the relevant stage values. Stage probability percentages transfer from Salesflare to StageProbability on Salesforce. Pipeline names and stage labels export as metadata and are re-created in Salesforce Setup before Opportunity import.
Salesflare
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task + Event + EmailMessage
1:1Salesflare activity history (logged calls, emails, meetings) migrates to Salesforce Task, Event, and EmailMessage. Calls map to Task with TaskSubtype=Call and CallDisposition preserved. Meetings map to Event with StartDateTime, EndDateTime, and Location. Emails map to EmailMessage records linked to Tasks. We use the Bulk API 2.0 for large activity volumes with parent-record lookup resolution (WhoId, WhatId) before insert.
Salesflare
Activity (Task)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1Salesflare standalone Tasks (follow-up reminders, to-dos) migrate to Salesforce Task. Status, Priority, ActivityDate, and description transfer directly. Owner resolution happens via email lookup against the Salesforce User table. Any Salesflare task assigned to an unmapped owner goes to a reconciliation queue.
Salesflare
Email Sequence
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Workflow documentation only
1:1Salesflare email sequences (Growth single flow, Pro/Enterprise multi-step) do not migrate as automation code. Salesforce Sales Cloud does not include a native sales engagement cadence feature without the Sales Engagement add-on. We export a written inventory of every active sequence: step order, delay intervals, conditions, CRM actions, and a recommended Salesforce Flow rebuild or Sales Engagement cadence equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds sequences post-migration.
Salesflare
User
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Salesflare Users (team members with name, email, role, pipeline assignment) map to Salesforce User records by email match. We extract all distinct owners from Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Activities and cross-reference against the Salesforce org User table. Missing Users go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes. Role and permission sets map to Salesforce Profiles and Permission Sets.
Salesflare
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Multi-Select Picklist
lossySalesflare Tags are flat labels applied to Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities. Tag names and their associations migrate as many-to-many join data. In Salesforce, tags on Accounts and Contacts become a custom multi-select picklist field sf_tags__c; tags on Opportunities become a separate Opportunity-level multi-select picklist. The customer chooses the field strategy during scoping.
Salesflare
Custom Property (Account, Contact, Opportunity)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field (__c)
1:1Salesflare custom properties on Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities pre-create as Salesforce custom fields before any data import. We export the full property map per object, match by label to Salesforce field types (text, number, date, picklist), and create fields via the Salesforce Metadata API in the destination org. Property dependencies and conditional display rules do not transfer.
Salesflare
Lead Credit
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Documentation only
1:1Salesflare lead credits are a metered enrichment quota, not contact records. Credit balance, monthly allocations, and purchase history do not map to any Salesforce object. We export credit metadata as a separate configuration document for the customer's billing team to re-establish enrichment budgets in Salesforce via Data.com, Apollo, or another AppExchange enrichment tool.
Salesflare
Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument + ContentVersion
1:1File attachments on Salesflare Accounts, Contacts, or Opportunities store as URLs or binary blobs. We preserve attachment metadata (filename, linked object type, file size) and re-download accessible files. Files re-upload to Salesforce as ContentVersion records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent Account, Contact, or Opportunity. Files behind authentication or expired URLs are flagged for manual upload.

Migration approach
Discovery and scope definition
We audit the source Salesflare portal: tier (Growth/Pro/Enterprise), account/contact/opportunity/activity record counts, pipeline count and stage names, active email sequences, custom property definitions, tag taxonomy, and attachment volume. We pair this with a Salesforce edition assessment: Professional ($80/user) covers most migrations without custom objects; Enterprise ($165/user) is required if the customer needs Flow at scale, advanced reporting types, or territory management. The discovery output is a written migration scope document with record counts, object mapping, and a Salesforce edition recommendation.
Destination schema pre-creation
We pre-create the Salesforce destination schema in a Sandbox org before any data moves. This includes creating custom fields (__c) for every Salesflare custom property, configuring Record Types and Sales Processes per Salesflare pipeline, setting up stage probability mappings, and provisioning multi-select picklist fields for tag migration. Schema is deployed via Salesforce Metadata API or change set. The admin approves field types and page layout assignments before sandbox migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Accounts in, Contacts in, Opportunities in, Activities in), spot-checks 25-50 records against the Salesflare source, and validates that the Account-Contact relationship is intact and Opportunity stage names display correctly. Any field mapping corrections, stage name adjustments, or validation rule conflicts are resolved here. Sign-off on the sandbox migration gates production migration.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Salesflare user referenced on Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, and Activities and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any Salesflare owner without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions missing Users and assigns the correct Profiles and Permission Sets. Migration cannot proceed past this step because Opportunity and Activity records require a valid OwnerId.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated), Accounts (from Salesflare Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved from the Account mapping), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, RecordTypeId, and StageName resolved), Activities (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages via Bulk API 2.0), Tags (as multi-select picklist values), Attachments (as ContentVersion and ContentDocumentLink), and Custom Properties (as field values on the pre-created custom fields). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Salesflare 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 deliver the email sequence inventory document and dashboard recreation guide to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. Workflows, sequences, and custom dashboards do not migrate as code; that work is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
