Overview
Moving from Simplero to Salesforce is a platform-model migration: Simplero uses a single Contact-centric schema with tags, segments, and enrollment history nested under each record, while Salesforce separates Leads from Contacts and ties them to Accounts with a formal Opportunity object. We resolve the Contact-to-Account relationship at migration time, map Simplero product enrollments to a custom Enrollment junction object so coaches can report on member access by course or cohort, and preserve tag and segment membership as Salesforce multi-select picklist or Topic records. Automation Flows in Simplero do not migrate because Simplero does not expose them via its public API; we deliver a written Flow inventory with recommended Salesforce Flow equivalents. We use Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 for engagement history and batch-chunk any large enrollment record sets with rate-limit backoff. Workflows, Forms, Sites, and Blog Posts are not migrated as code; we deliver structured content exports and written handoff documents for each.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Simplero 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.
Simplero
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead or Contact (split required)
1:manySimplero Contacts with Lifecycle Stage of prospect or subscriber map to Salesforce Lead. Lifecycle Stage of customer or active member maps to Salesforce Contact tied to an Account. We compute the split using Simplero's contact lifecycle property during the transform phase, preserving the original Simplero lifecycle stage in a custom field simplero_lifecycle__c on both Lead and Contact for reporting continuity. Any Tags applied to the Contact migrate as multi-select picklist values on the target record.
Simplero
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Simplero Company records (if present from a legacy CRM import into Simplero) map to Salesforce Account. The domain or website field from Simplero becomes the Account Website field and is used as a dedupe key during import. Account is created before Contact import so that AccountId lookup is satisfied at the moment of Contact insert.
Simplero
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Multi-Select Picklist
lossySimplero Tags are flat key-value labels stored against each Contact. We migrate them as Salesforce multi-select picklist fields on the Contact or Lead object. For migrations with more than 200 distinct tag values, we recommend creating a Topic-based taxonomy using Salesforce Topics and TopicAssignment records instead of proliferating picklist values.
Simplero
Segment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign or Static List
lossySimplero Segments are dynamic filter groups that define audience segments. We export the contact-to-segment membership as explicit membership records and map each Simplero Segment to a Salesforce Campaign with MemberStatus preserved. Static segments migrate as Campaign Members; dynamic segments are documented as filter criteria for the customer to recreate as Salesforce Reports or Campaign membership rules.
Simplero
Deal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Simplero Deals (Skyrocket tier only) map to Salesforce Opportunity. Deal stage, value, owner, and close date transfer directly. The Simplero deal pipeline maps to a Salesforce Record Type and Sales Process that we configure before migration. We apply stage probability percentages to match Simplero's stage weighting if those were configured.
Simplero
Product
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Product2 + PricebookEntry
1:1Simplero Products (courses, memberships, coaching programs, digital downloads) map to Salesforce Product2 records with Standard Price Book entries. Product type classification (course vs membership vs 1:1 session) migrates as a custom field product_type__c on Product2. Pricing and access rules are preserved in the Product2 description and custom fields for admin reference.
Simplero
Member + Enrollment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Enrollment Junction Object
1:manySimplero Members (contacts with active product access) and Enrollment records (which contact has access to which product and when) require a custom Enrollment__c junction object in Salesforce with lookups to Contact and Product2. We design the junction schema during scoping, deploy it to Sandbox for validation, then migrate enrollment history as historical records. Without a custom object, enrollment data collapses into note fields and becomes unreportable.
Simplero
Order + Purchase
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity with Custom Order Fields
1:1Simplero Order records (product, price, date, payment gateway, refund status) map to Salesforce Opportunity records with custom order fields (simplero_order_id__c, payment_gateway__c, refund_status__c). Refund flags and partial payment states migrate as custom Opportunity fields with value mappings applied during transform. If the customer uses Salesforce Orders (available from Professional), we use the standard Order object instead.
Simplero
Email Broadcast
Salesforce Sales Cloud
EmailMessage + Task
1:1Simplero email broadcast history migrates to Salesforce EmailMessage records linked to an Activity Task. The email subject, body, and send timestamp transfer. Salesforce EmailMessage requires the HasBlogEmailHeader__c custom flag to be set for bulk loads to bypass certain validation. We use Bulk API 2.0 for large broadcast histories with exponential backoff.
Simplero
Email Sequence
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Sequence Object + Campaign
1:1Simplero Email Sequences (multi-step automation content) are migrated as a custom Sequence__c object containing step records with send order, delay, and content. We do not migrate sequence logic (triggers, delays, conditions) as code because Simplero does not expose it via API. The customer receives a written sequence map with trigger conditions and step content for rebuild in Salesforce Sales Engagement or Flow.
Simplero
Engagement: Call
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task (TaskSubtype = Call)
1:1Simplero call records map to Salesforce Task with TaskSubtype = Call. Call duration, disposition, and recording URL (if available via API) migrate as custom Task fields. Activity timeline ordering is preserved by setting ActivityDate to the original Simplero timestamp.
Simplero
Engagement: Meeting
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Event
1:1Simplero meeting records map to Salesforce Event with StartDateTime, EndDateTime, and Location preserved. Attendee records migrate as EventRelation records linking to the relevant Contact, Lead, or User.
Simplero
Engagement: Note
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Note
1:1Simplero Notes migrate to Salesforce Note records linked via ContentDocumentLink to the parent Contact, Lead, Account, or Opportunity. Rich text formatting and any embedded image attachments migrate as separate ContentDocument records.
Simplero
Ticket
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Case
1:1Simplero help desk tickets (Scale+ only) migrate to Salesforce Case. Ticket pipeline maps to Case Record Type, ticket status maps to Case Status, and conversation threads migrate as EmailMessage records linked to the Case. We flag Simplero's chat and AI bot conversation history as out of scope because Simplero does not expose this via API.
Simplero
Site Page
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentRecord + URL Redirect Map
1:1Simplero Site Pages are migrated as structured content records (Title, Body, Slug, Meta Description) with slug paths preserved in a custom field for URL redirect planning. We do not migrate the site builder theme, CSS, or media assets. The customer receives a slug map document to wire up 301 redirects in Salesforce Experience Cloud or their hosting provider.
Simplero
Blog Post
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentRecord
1:1Simplero blog posts export via RSS XML format and migrate as Salesforce Content records or custom Knowledge Article records. Post slugs are preserved for redirect mapping. Author attribution, publish date, and category tags transfer as custom fields.
Simplero
Community Post
Salesforce Sales Cloud
FeedItem or Custom Object
1:1Simplero community posts and comment threads migrate as Salesforce Chatter FeedItem records or as a custom CommunityPost__c object depending on whether the destination org has Chatter enabled. Reactions and upvotes map variably to custom vote count fields. We flag Simplero private community posts as requiring explicit customer consent before migration.
Simplero
Automation Flow
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Written Flow Inventory
lossySimplero Automation Flows are not accessible via API and cannot be migrated. We document every active Simplero Flow during discovery: trigger event, step sequence, conditions, and action chains. The customer receives a written Flow inventory with a recommended Salesforce Flow equivalent for each sequence. Rebuilding Flows in Salesforce is outside the standard migration scope.

Migration approach
Discovery and API access verification
We audit the Simplero portal across plan tier (Starter/Scale/Skyrocket), contact count, active tags and segments, product catalog, enrollment history, order volume, active Flows, and engagement volume. We confirm API access is enabled on Scale or above. If the customer is on Starter, we flag the API limitation and recommend upgrading before migration scoping begins. We pair this with a Salesforce edition decision: Professional ($80/user) for most coaching and creator migrations; Enterprise ($165/user) if the customer needs record-triggered Flow at scale, advanced reporting, or API access to Einstein Activity Capture; Unlimited ($330/user) only for 24x7 support requirements. The discovery output is a written migration scope and Salesforce edition recommendation.
Schema design and custom Enrollment object
We design the destination Salesforce schema during a dedicated design phase. This includes provisioning the custom Enrollment__c junction object with lookups to Contact and Product2, all custom fields for Simplero attributes (simplero_lifecycle__c, simplero_order_id__c, simplero_product_type__c), Salesforce Record Types for each Simplero Deal pipeline, and the Lead-Contact split rule based on the customer's Simplero lifecycle stage matrix. Multi-select picklist fields are created for Simplero tags. Schema is deployed via Salesforce Metadata API or change set into a Sandbox org first for validation against a sample data load.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Leads in, Accounts in, Opportunities in, Enrollments in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against Simplero source data, validates the Enrollment junction object for accuracy, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections, custom field additions, or picklist value gaps are resolved in Sandbox. This step prevents expensive corrections in production.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Simplero owner referenced on Deals, Contacts, and Enrollments and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Owners without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users. Migration cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId is a required reference on Opportunity records in Salesforce. If the customer uses Salesforce sandbox for testing, we confirm that User IDs are consistent between sandbox and production before final cutover.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Simplero Companies), Contacts and Leads (with Lifecycle Stage split applied and tags as picklist values), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), Product2 and PricebookEntry (from Simplero Products), Enrollment__c junction records (linked to Contact and Product2 lookups), Order history as Opportunity custom fields, Engagement history (Tasks, Events, EmailMessages via Bulk API 2.0 with chunking and backoff), and Cases for ticket history. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Bulk API 2.0 for large engagement histories to avoid timeouts.
Cutover, validation, and Flow rebuild handoff
We freeze Simplero 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 Automation Flow inventory document to the customer's admin team with recommended Salesforce Flow equivalents. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team. We do not rebuild Simplero Flows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
