Overview
Salesflo Engage is a field-force management and workflow digitalization platform — it tracks retail execution visits, field team GPS locations, task schedules, and custom data-collection forms. It does not operate as a traditional CRM with Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals. Freshsales is a Freshworks CRM with those exact objects, Freddy AI lead scoring, multiple sales pipelines, built-in phone and email, and a custom-object framework for entities that don't fit the standard model. The migration maps every Salesflo Engage entity — Users, Retailers/Companies, Visits, Tasks, Forms, and Form Submissions — into the nearest Freshsales equivalent. Visit records with location coordinates, visit status, and duration become custom fields on Freshsales Deals or Contacts. Form submission data from custom Salesflo Engage forms is reconstructed as Freshsales Custom Modules, each with mapped custom fields. GPS tracking and geo-location history have no native Freshsales equivalent; they are preserved as reference data in custom fields for audit purposes. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly — retailer data becomes Accounts first, then contacts link to those accounts, then visits and tasks attach to the right records. We use scoped read access on Salesflo Engage and the Freshsales REST API for import, with a 24–48 hour delta window capturing any records created or modified during the cutover window. Workflows, automations, GPS tracking dashboards, and custom form logic from Salesflo Engage do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in Freshsales using its workflow builder, territory management, and Custom Modules.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Salesflo Engage 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.
Salesflo Engage
User / Field Rep
Freshsales
User
1:1Salesflo Engage user accounts map to Freshsales users by email address. OwnerId on Deals and Tasks references the Freshsales user matched by email. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to Freshsales first or assigns records to a fallback owner.
Salesflo Engage
Retailer / Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1Salesflo Engage retailer records are companies — they map directly to Freshsales Accounts. Account Name, website, address, and industry fields map 1:1. Parent-child retailer hierarchies in Salesflo Engage map to Freshsales Account hierarchies via the Parent Account field. Unmatched parent accounts are flagged for manual review before migration.
Salesflo Engage
Retailer Contact Person
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Contact persons associated with retailers in Salesflo Engage map to Freshsales Contacts. Each contact links to the retailer Account via the Account Name lookup. If a contact has no retailer association in Salesflo Engage, it links to a default 'Unassigned Account' placeholder in Freshsales to prevent orphaned records.
Salesflo Engage
Visit Record
Freshsales
Deal + Custom Fields
1:1Each Salesflo Engage visit becomes a Freshsales Deal record. Visit location (GPS coordinates), visit status, scheduled vs actual time, and visit type are stored as custom fields on the Deal. The Deal name follows the pattern 'Visit: [Retailer Name] — [Date]'. Duration and completion status become Deal custom fields.
Salesflo Engage
Visit Status / Stage
Freshsales
Deal Status (Custom Picklist)
1:1Salesflo Engage visit stages (Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, Skipped) map to a Freshsales custom pick-list field on Deal. Each value maps by-value. 'Completed' maps to Deal status 'Won' or a custom stage — your admin chooses the target value based on your Freshsales pipeline configuration.
Salesflo Engage
Task / Activity
Freshsales
Task
1:1Salesflo Engage tasks assigned to field reps map to Freshsales Tasks. Task subject, description, due date, priority, and status migrate directly. Owner is resolved by email match to ensure the correct Freshsales user owns the task. Completed vs open task status maps to Freshsales task status values, with a default status assigned for any unmatched scenarios.
Salesflo Engage
Custom Form Definition
Freshsales
Custom Module
1:1Each Salesflo Engage Dynamic Survey or custom form becomes a Freshsales Custom Module. The module name matches the form title. Module creation requires Freshsales Enterprise (Custom Modules are not available on Growth or Pro). We deliver a module-creation checklist as part of the migration plan.
Salesflo Engage
Form Submission / Field Response
Freshsales
Custom Module Record
1:1Individual form submissions from Salesflo Engage become Custom Module records in Freshsales. Each question/field in the form maps to a corresponding Custom Field in the Freshsales Custom Module. Submission timestamp, submitted-by user, and related retailer/account link are preserved as module record fields.
Salesflo Engage
Product / SKU
Freshsales
Product (Freshsales Product Catalog)
1:1Products tracked in Salesflo Engage as part of visit checklists or form data migrate to Freshsales Product Catalog entries. Product Name and SKU map directly. Pricing and inventory data that is not tracked in Salesflo Engage remains blank and must be added in Freshsales.
Salesflo Engage
GPS Location / Geo-coordinate
Freshsales
Custom Text Field (no native equivalent)
1:1Salesflo Engage GPS coordinates from visit records have no native Freshsales equivalent — Freshsales does not support geo-location fields or map visualization on records. Latitude and longitude are stored as formatted text fields (e.g., '37.7749, -122.4194') for reference. Geo-tagged journey data is preserved as a JSON or text blob in a custom field.
Salesflo Engage
Visit Attachment / Photo
Freshsales
Deal Attachment (Freshsales Files)
1:1Photos and files attached to Salesflo Engage visits are re-uploaded to the corresponding Freshsales Deal as Deal Attachments (Freshsales Files). File size limits apply — Freshsales default is 25MB per file. Inline images embedded in notes are downloaded and rehosted as separate file attachments. All files are linked to the correct Deal record via the Freshsales Files API.
Salesflo Engage
Workflow / Automation (Salesflo Engage)
Freshsales
Freshsales Workflow (must rebuild)
1:1Salesflo Engage workflow definitions, conditional routing, and automation logic do not have a migration path. They must be rebuilt in Freshsales Workflows using Freshsales' trigger-action model (available on Growth and above). FlitStack AI exports workflow definitions as a reference document for your Freshsales admin.

Migration approach
Export Salesflo Engage data via API
FlitStack AI authenticates with Salesflo Engage using scoped read access — your team grants read-only API credentials. We extract all entity types: users, retailers/companies, contacts, visits, tasks, custom forms, and form submissions. The export runs in read-only mode against the live Salesflo Engage instance. Your field teams continue using Salesflo Engage during this phase. We generate a data inventory report listing record counts per entity type, which forms the basis of the migration scope and price confirmation.
Map entities and validate Freshsales schema
We map every Salesflo Engage entity to its Freshsales counterpart. Retailer records become Accounts; contact persons become Contacts linked to those Accounts; visits become Deals with custom fields for GPS, duration, and visit type; form submissions become Custom Module records (Enterprise plan required). We validate that the Freshsales account has the required plan tier for Custom Modules and deliver a schema setup checklist if Enterprise is not yet active. Owner resolution runs by email match — unmatched owners are flagged for your team to resolve before migration proceeds.
Migrate accounts, contacts, and users first
Freshsales requires Accounts to exist before Contacts can link via the account_name lookup. We sequence the migration to migrate Accounts first, then Contacts, then Deals and Tasks. This ensures foreign-key relationships resolve correctly on the first pass. Custom Modules are created in Freshsales before form submission records are imported. Users are migrated and matched to Freshsales users by email — OwnerId on Deals and Tasks is populated from this resolution step. A sample migration of 100–500 records runs first, generating a field-level diff report for your review.
Migrate visits and form submissions with field-level validation
With Accounts, Contacts, and Users in place, we migrate visit records as Deals. Each visit maps to a Deal with custom fields for GPS coordinates, visit status, duration, and visit type. Form submissions import as Custom Module records linked to the relevant Account or Contact. We validate field-level mapping on the sample slice — checking that pick-list values match Freshsales allowed values, date formats are correct, and custom field data types align. Your team reviews the diff report and approves before the full migration commits.
Cutover with delta-pickup and final validation
The full migration runs against the live Freshsales instance during a scheduled cutover window. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in Salesflo Engage during the migration run. We generate a reconciliation report comparing record counts and field totals between Salesflo Engage and Freshsales. Audit logs record every operation. If reconciliation identifies discrepancies, one-click rollback reverts the Freshsales instance to its pre-migration state. Your team goes live in Freshsales once the reconciliation report is approved.
