Overview
Moving from SalesPro CRM to Freshsales means trading a flat-rate, event-centric CRM with a webhook-only API for a per-user CRM with a full REST API, built-in phone, email, and chat, and Freddy AI lead scoring from the Growth plan upward. SalesPro organizes hospitality and venue-sales workflows around Events and auto-generated BEO records; Freshsales uses Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals with a native pipeline view. We reconstruct BEO records as a Freshsales custom object and preserve the Event linkage so that event-timeline data survives the transition intact. The webhook-only API constraint means we request a full data export directly from Leap Digital on the customer's behalf before migration begins, which typically adds three to five business days to the pre-migration timeline. Workflows, automations, and BEO auto-generation logic do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer to rebuild in Freshsales Workflows post-cutover.
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 SalesPro 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.
SalesPro CRM
Contact
Freshsales
Contact
1:1SalesPro Contact records map directly to Freshsales Contact. Email, phone, company association, address, and custom fields transfer as typed fields. Owner assignment resolves via email lookup to the Freshsales User table. Any contacts without an email receive a placeholder email address to satisfy Freshsales uniqueness constraints and are flagged in the reconciliation report for admin review.
SalesPro CRM
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1SalesPro Company records map to Freshsales Account. The company name becomes the Account Name; any domain or website field maps to the Account's website field. Account is created before Contact import so the Contact-to-Account lookup is satisfied at insert time. If duplicate company names exist in SalesPro, we merge them under a single Account and flag the merge in the reconciliation report.
SalesPro CRM
Event
Freshsales
Event (Appointment)
1:1SalesPro Event records map to Freshsales Appointments with start time, end time, location, and description preserved. The event owner maps via email to the Freshsales User. Event-to-Contact linkage is preserved as a Freshsales Appointment contact association. If the SalesPro event contains BEO references, we flag the BEO for custom object reconstruction and maintain the Event-BEO relationship in the Freshsales target schema.
SalesPro CRM
BEO (Banquet Event Orders)
Freshsales
Custom Object: BEO
lossyBEO records are derived from Events in SalesPro and contain cost calculations, timeline details, and event specifications. Freshsales has no native BEO object, so we create a custom object named BEO via Freshsales Object Builder with fields for event_date__c, event_group_size__c, cost_estimate__c, timeline_spec__c, and a lookup to the mapped Event. We preserve the Event-to-BEO linkage explicitly as a lookup field rather than relying on naming conventions. If a source Event is deleted before export, its BEO becomes orphaned and we flag it during pre-migration audit.
SalesPro CRM
Deal / Pipeline Stage
Freshsales
Deal + Pipeline
1:1SalesPro Deals map to Freshsales Deals with deal name, amount, stage, and close date transferred. SalesPro pipeline stages map to Freshsales pipeline stages by name and relative ordering. Probability percentages migrate as deal_score__c or are embedded in the stage name if Freshsales does not expose a separate probability field in the current plan tier. We create the Freshsales pipeline and stage configuration before deal import begins.
SalesPro CRM
Milestone
Freshsales
Deal Custom Field or Tasks
lossySalesPro custom milestone definitions tied to sales cycles or goals map to Freshsales custom fields on the Deal object. Milestone names become field labels; completion status becomes field values. If milestone definitions are numerous or highly customized, we map them as a JSON-encoded custom field milestones__c with structured key-value pairs, preserving all original milestone names and statuses for audit.
SalesPro CRM
Task
Freshsales
Task
1:1SalesPro task records map to Freshsales Tasks with assignees (resolved by email), due dates, email reminder flags, and completion status preserved. Task title and description transfer as typed fields. The original SalesPro task creation timestamp maps to a custom field original_created_date__c for audit.
SalesPro CRM
User / Team Member
Freshsales
User
1:1SalesPro users referenced on Contacts, Events, Tasks, and Deals resolve by email address to Freshsales User records. We request the customer to pre-create Freshsales User accounts matching the SalesPro user emails before migration begins. Any SalesPro user without a matching Freshworks account enters a reconciliation queue and their records are assigned to the migration admin user with an owner_reconciliation flag for post-migration reassignment.
SalesPro CRM
Calendar / Appointments
Freshsales
Appointment
1:1SalesPro calendar entries export as Events with start/end timestamps and resource assignments. We map these to Freshsales Appointments, preserving the resource booking details in a custom field resource_notes__c since Freshsales Appointments do not have a native resource assignment object. The calendar entry-to-contact linkage is preserved via the Freshsales Appointment contact association.
SalesPro CRM
Attachment
Freshsales
Not migrated
1:1SalesPro does not expose a bulk attachment export endpoint via its webhook API. Attachments associated with Events, Contacts, or BEOs cannot be programmatically retrieved without direct database access. We notify customers during scoping that attachments will not migrate and provide a manual export checklist for the customer to retrieve files directly from SalesPro before account deactivation. We do not skip attachment import by choice; the API constraint is structural.

Migration approach
Discovery and data export request
We audit the SalesPro CRM account to identify all active Contacts, Companies, Events, BEO records, Deals, Tasks, and Milestones. We also assess the current SalesPro tier and user count to confirm the flat-rate pricing baseline. In parallel, we file a formal data export request with Leap Digital support on the customer's behalf. The migration timeline does not start until the exported data is received, which typically takes three to five business days. We also collect a full list of active Users with email addresses for Freshsales User provisioning.
Freshsales account provisioning and schema design
The customer creates a Freshsales account and we begin schema design in parallel with the data export wait period. We configure the Freshsales pipeline and stage structure to match the SalesPro pipeline layout, create the BEO custom object with all required fields and the Event lookup relationship, and set up custom fields for any SalesPro Milestone data. We create Freshsales User accounts for every distinct SalesPro user email before record import begins so that owner assignment is resolvable at migration time.
Data transformation and BEO reconstruction
We transform the SalesPro export into Freshsales-compatible CSV format. The transformation phase includes stripping null-value spouse fields from any records using the signing feature, reconstructing BEO records as structured custom object entries with Event linkage, splitting any merged contact fields, and standardizing date formats to match the Freshsales import date format setting. We also run a deduplication pass on Contacts and Companies before mapping begins. The transformation output is a set of CSV files ready for Freshsales bulk import.
Sandbox test migration and reconciliation
We run a test migration into the customer's Freshsales Sandbox (or a trial account) using a representative subset of the transformed data. We validate record counts match across all object types, spot-check 25-50 records field by field against the SalesPro source, and confirm the BEO-to-Event linkage is correctly preserved. Any mapping corrections, missing custom fields, or data quality issues surface here. The customer reviews the test migration results and signs off before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated, not migrated), Accounts (from SalesPro Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Events (Appointments with contact associations), Deals (with stage and owner resolved), BEO custom records (with Event lookup resolved), and Tasks. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Freshsales supports bulk CSV import with up to 25,000 records per batch; records exceeding this threshold are chunked and processed in sequence with exponential backoff on any rate-limit responses.
Cutover, validation, and BEO workflow handoff
We freeze writes to SalesPro during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window, then switch the customer to Freshsales as the system of record. We deliver a BEO Workflow Inventory documenting every SalesPro BEO template and auto-generation rule that requires manual setup in Freshsales. We do not rebuild SalesPro automations or event workflows as Freshsales Workflows inside the migration scope; that work is a separate engagement. We support a one-week post-cutover window to resolve any data reconciliation issues raised by the sales team.
