Overview
Service Autopilot organizes field service businesses around Clients, Properties, Jobs, Schedules, Invoices, and Automations. Its per-feature pricing model works well for small to mid-size operators but caps out when reporting, cross-department visibility, or pipeline visibility requires a true CRM. Salesforce Sales Cloud stores everything as Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Cases, and custom objects — with no native field-service dispatch board, no per-feature licensing tiers, and a fundamentally different ownership model. FlitStack AI maps Service Autopilot Clients to Salesforce Accounts with location details stored on the Account record, Properties to Account.Address, Jobs to Cases with original job IDs preserved as Case.Job_ID__c, Invoices and Payments to custom fields on the Account, Estimates to Opportunities, and Employees to Salesforce Users resolved by email match. We do not migrate Automations, because Service Autopilot's trigger-and-sequence engine has no Salesforce equivalent — we export your automation definitions as a rebuild reference for Flow. The migration uses scoped read access on Service Autopilot, runs field-level diffs in a Salesforce sandbox, then commits with a 24-48h delta pickup window so in-flight jobs and invoices during cutover land in Salesforce before go-live.
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 Service Autopilot 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.
Service Autopilot
Client
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account + Contact
many:1Service Autopilot Client is a unified contact-record that holds personal details, address, billing info, and tags. FlitStack AI splits this into Salesforce Account (for company/billing context) and Contact (for the primary person), with the original client name preserved as Account.Name and first-last name split into Contact.FirstName/LastName.
Service Autopilot
Client
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:manyService Autopilot distinguishes between Clients (active/billable) and Leads (prospects). Active Clients with no sales history route to Account/Contact; true prospects with no property record route to Salesforce Lead so the sales team can work them through the standard pipeline before converting.
Service Autopilot
Property
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account (location fields) or Custom Location Object
1:1Service Autopilot Properties store service location address, GPS coordinates, measurement data, and photos attached to a specific client. FlitStack AI maps address fields to Account.BillingAddress and stores GPS lat/long as custom fields on the Account. If your Salesforce implementation uses a Location custom object for multi-property clients, we create that object and link it via lookup.
Service Autopilot
Job
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case
1:1Service Autopilot Job is the core service record — it links a client, property, service type, schedule, assigned employee, status, and invoice. Salesforce Case is the closest equivalent: we preserve the original Job ID as Case.Service_Autopilot_Job_ID__c, map job status to Case.Status, and store the assigned crew as Case.Assigned_Crew__c. Original create dates are preserved as custom datetime fields.
Service Autopilot
Job Assignment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task or Event
1:1Each employee assigned to a Job in Service Autopilot is a separate assignment record with start time and labor burden. FlitStack AI maps active assignments to Salesforce Tasks with WhoId (Contact) and WhatId (Case) populated; the labor burden is stored as a custom field on the Task since Salesforce does not have a native labor-cost model.
Service Autopilot
Estimate
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Service Autopilot Estimates contain line items, total amount, and an expiry date. FlitStack AI maps Estimates to Salesforce Opportunities with the estimate total as Opportunity.Amount, the expiry date as a custom field (Estimate_Expires__c), and line items as OpportunityLineItems using a standard Price Book Entry. The original estimate ID is preserved as Source_Estimate_ID__c.
Service Autopilot
Invoice
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account (custom fields)
1:1Service Autopilot Invoices are standalone financial records tied to a Job and Client. Salesforce has no native invoice object in Sales Cloud, so FlitStack AI stores invoice totals, balances due, and tax amounts as custom fields on the Account (Invoice_Total__c, Balance_Due__c, Tax_Amount__c) with invoice IDs preserved as Source_Invoice_ID__c for audit continuity.
Service Autopilot
Payment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account (custom fields)
1:1Service Autopilot Payment records show amount paid, payment method, date, and related invoice. FlitStack AI stores payment totals as a running sum on the Account (Total_Payments__c) and stores individual payment details as a custom Payment_History__c field with a serialized JSON blob so the payment timeline is preserved even without a native object.
Service Autopilot
Employee
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Service Autopilot Employees have names, contact info, compensation types (hourly/salary), labor burden rates, and GPS settings. FlitStack AI matches Employees to Salesforce Users by email address. Compensation type and labor burden are stored as custom fields on the User record (Compensation_Type__c, Labor_Burden_Rate__c). If an employee has no Salesforce User, they are flagged before migration so your admin can create the User or assign records to a fallback owner.
Service Autopilot
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom field on Account/Contact/Case
1:1Service Autopilot Tags are flat taxonomy labels applied to Clients, Properties, and Jobs. Salesforce has no native tag model; we store the full tag string as a custom multi-select pick-list field (Legacy_Tags__c) on each object where tags exist. Your admin can use these as a reference to build Salesforce Reports or flows that replicate the tag logic.
Service Autopilot
Custom Field (per object)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Field (__c)
1:1Service Autopilot Custom Fields per object (text, number, date, pick-list) map directly to Salesforce custom fields using the __c suffix. FlitStack AI creates each field in the target Salesforce org via API, configures field-level security for each profile, and maps values value-by-value for pick-list types using Salesforce's allowed values as the constraint set.
Service Autopilot
Note / Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note / ContentDocument (Files)
1:1Service Autopilot Notes with body text and timestamps map to Salesforce Notes. File attachments map to Salesforce Files (ContentDocument/ContentVersion), re-uploaded to Salesforce's storage with the original file name and created date preserved as ContentVersion metadata. Files attached to Jobs land on the related Case via ContentDocumentLink.

Migration approach
Extract Service Autopilot data via scoped API read access
FlitStack AI connects to your Service Autopilot instance using scoped read credentials — the account remains fully operational during extraction. We pull Clients, Properties, Leads, Jobs, Job Assignments, Estimates, Invoices, Payments, Employees, Notes, Attachments, Custom Field definitions, and Automation export files. Each object is downloaded with original timestamps, owner IDs, and the full tag string. If the API export is rate-limited during large extractions, we pace requests and resume from the last checkpoint to avoid data gaps.
Profile data quality and map objects to Salesforce schema
We run a data quality profile on every extracted object: duplicate detection on email and address, null-rate analysis on required fields, and a check for circular property hierarchies. Based on the profile, we generate the full object and field mapping workbook, create a Location__c custom object setup plan if multi-property clients exist, and flag Employees with no email address who cannot be matched to Salesforce Users. Your Salesforce admin deploys the custom fields and Location__c object in a sandbox before the test migration runs.
Run sample migration with field-level diff in a Salesforce sandbox
A representative slice of records — typically 200–500 covering a mix of Clients, Properties, Jobs, Estimates, Invoices, and Employees — migrates into your Salesforce sandbox first. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff report showing every source value and its destination field, including custom field transformations and pick-list value mappings. You verify that Property GPS coordinates landed in Location__Latitude__s and Location__Longitude__s, that Job status mapped to the correct Case.Status values, and that Employees resolved to the right Salesforce Users. No records go to production until the diff is signed off.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
After sandbox sign-off, the full migration loads into your production Salesforce org. We respect Salesforce API rate limits and use Bulk API for large record sets. Accounts and Contacts load first (parent records must exist before lookups resolve), then Cases, then custom object records. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window runs concurrently: any Jobs, Invoices, or Client records modified in Service Autopilot during the migration window are captured and loaded before go-live. FlitStack AI generates a post-migration reconciliation report showing record counts per object, error rates, and the delta records loaded.
Deliver automation export and post-migration handoff package
Once production data is live, FlitStack AI delivers the complete handoff package: the object-and-field mapping workbook with transformation notes, the exported Service Autopilot Automation definitions as a structured JSON document organized by sequence name and trigger event, and a custom field deployment guide for any remaining custom fields your admin wants to add after go-live. We provide a 30-day post-migration support window to address any data discrepancies discovered during user acceptance testing.
