Overview

What this migration involves

SimplyConvert is a legal-tech client-intake and case-management platform with a purpose-built CRM for law firms. Freshsales is a general-purpose sales CRM with Leads, Contacts, Accounts, Deals, and a custom-modules API. These platforms serve different primary use cases — legal intake vs. broad sales pipeline management — so the migration requires careful object mapping rather than a one-to-one field translation. FlitStack AI pulls data from SimplyConvert via its REST API (List Cases at 300 req/min, Get/Create Case at 2000 req/min) and maps client records to Freshsales Contacts, case files to custom Deal fields or a dedicated Cases module, and referral relationships to Account Account Relationships or junction objects. Original timestamps, document attachments, and statute-of-limitations dates transfer as custom fields. Chatbot conversation logs and lead-qualification criteria have no Freshsales native equivalent — these are flagged for manual rebuild using Freshsales Sales Sequences and workflow rules. The migration runs in read-only API mode against SimplyConvert with a 24–48 hour delta pickup window covering the cutover period.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

SimplyConvert logo

SimplyConvert

What's pushing teams away

  • Per-conversion pricing model creates unpredictable and escalating costs as claimant volume grows in active litigations
  • Narrow focus on mass tort intake makes the platform unsuitable for firms with diverse practice areas requiring broader case management
  • Small vendor footprint with 23 employees and ~$1M revenue raises long-term support and platform stability concerns
  • Limited third-party integrations beyond native API constrains how SimplyConvert data connects to downstream accounting, e-billing, or e-discovery tools
  • Custom reporting insufficient for firms managing multiple simultaneous litigations needing cross-case analytics and settlement benchmarking

Choosing

Freshsales logo

Freshsales

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry among major CRMs — the free tier supports up to 3 users and includes core CRM functionality before committing to per-seat pricing.
  • Built-in chat, email, and phone reduce reliance on third-party integrations for basic sales communication and contact management.
  • Freddy AI contact scoring and deal insights are included on Pro plans at a lower price than comparable HubSpot tiers.
  • Kanban pipeline views across Contacts, Accounts, and Deals provide visual deal management without requiring custom configuration.
  • Integration with the broader Freshworks ecosystem (Freshdesk, Freshchat, Freshservice) reduces tool sprawl for teams already using Freshworks.

Object mapping

How SimplyConvert objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a SimplyConvert 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.

SimplyConvert

Client

maps to

Freshsales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert clients (named persons with email, phone, address) map directly to Freshsales Contacts. Email, phone, and physical address fields carry over as-is. Unique client IDs are stored in Freshsales Source_System_ID__c for delta-run de-duplication. The migration uses the Source_System_ID__c field to detect and skip duplicate records on subsequent delta runs.

SimplyConvert

Client (business-type record)

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Law firm names or organizational client records in SimplyConvert map to Freshsales Accounts. Company name, domain, and industry fields transfer as Account.Name, Account.Website, and Account.Industry respectively. Business-type Client records are identified during discovery by checking the client_type field for firm or organization values.

SimplyConvert

Case

maps to

Freshsales

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert cases (intake records linked to a client) map to Freshsales Deals. The case subject or claim type becomes Deal.Name. Close date and case amount (settlement value) transfer as Deal.Close_Date and Deal.Amount. Case status maps to Deal.Stage via value_mapping. Each Case-to-Deal mapping preserves the original client link as a Contact lookup.

SimplyConvert

Case Stage

maps to

Freshsales

Deal Stage

1:1
Fully supported

Each SimplyConvert case stage (Intake, Screening, Accepted, Rejected, Settled, etc.) maps to a Freshsales deal stage pick-list value. Stage-entry timestamps migrate as custom datetime fields on the Deal for audit continuity. The value_mapping definition is delivered in the discovery report before migration begins.

SimplyConvert

Intake Form Field (custom property)

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Field on Contact / Deal

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert intake questionnaires generate dynamic custom fields per case type (trauma type, injury category, statute-of-limitations date, etc.). These map to Freshsales custom fields on the relevant Contact or Deal record. Freshsales field name and type must match the source exactly for import. A field schema snapshot is taken during discovery.

SimplyConvert

Referral Source (Client)

maps to

Freshsales

Account Account Relationship / Account

1:1
Fully supported

When a SimplyConvert referral is already a known Client, it becomes a Freshsales Account Account Relationship (many-to-many referral tracking). When the referral is an unnamed source, it creates a Freshsales Account record with a Referral_Source__c custom field. Known firm referrals are pre-created as Account records during the pre-migration setup phase.

SimplyConvert

Document / File Attachment

maps to

Freshsales

Freshsales Files

1:1
Fully supported

CaseHQ document uploads attach to SimplyConvert cases. These files are downloaded from SimplyConvert's API (200/min limit) and re-uploaded to Freshsales as Files linked to the corresponding Deal or Contact record. File size, format, and original upload date are all preserved during the transfer. Files are linked via the Freshsales Files API using the Source_System_ID__c for record matching.

SimplyConvert

Chatbot Conversation Log

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Field / Note / External Storage

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert's Instant Case Evaluator chatbot stores conversation logs per lead. Freshsales has no native chatbot-conversation-storage object. We can export logs as a JSON file linked to the Contact record or store them externally — your team decides based on compliance needs. The JSON export includes full transcript, criteria responses, and rejection reasons.

SimplyConvert

Lead Qualification Criteria

maps to

Freshsales

Freshsales Workflow / Sales Sequence

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert's criteria-based auto-reject logic (statute-of-limitations checks, practice-area filters) has no Freshsales native equivalent. We export the rule definitions as a rebuild reference. Your Freshsales admin recreates equivalent logic using Workflow conditions and Sales Sequences. The exported reference includes field triggers, condition operators, and resulting actions.

SimplyConvert

User / Owner

maps to

Freshsales

Freshsales User

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert users who have a valid email matching a Freshsales user account are resolved by email lookup. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either provisions Freshsales users first or assigns records to a fallback user. All owner resolution completes before the first record is written to Freshsales.

SimplyConvert

Statute of Limitations Date

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Date Field + Validation Rule

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert tracks SOL dates for each case. This transfers as a custom Date field on the Deal. A Freshsales validation rule can be configured to flag or block deals approaching their SOL date if needed. The SOL field name and date format are matched exactly from SimplyConvert during migration.

SimplyConvert

Client Create Date

maps to

Freshsales

Contact Original_Create_Date__c

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert records the original client intake date. Freshsales CreatedDate reflects the migration timestamp. We preserve the original date as Original_Create_Date__c for reporting continuity. The custom field is created as a Date type before migration so historical intake dates display correctly in Freshsales reports.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Chatbot conversation logs have no native Freshsales destination

    SimplyConvert's Instant Case Evaluator stores full conversation transcripts per lead — criteria-based rejection reasons, questionnaire responses, and case-qualification flags. Freshsales has no built-in chatbot-conversation-storage object. We export these logs as a structured JSON file linked to the Contact record, but the Freshsales UI cannot display them inline. If your team needs to reference conversation history, it must be stored externally or accessed via a custom app. We surface this as a rebuild decision point before migration runs.

  • Lead qualification criteria and auto-reject rules cannot migrate as logic

    SimplyConvert's intake criteria engine (statute-of-limitations checks, practice-area filters, auto-reject for unqualified leads) is rule-based automation inside the platform. Freshsales workflows handle field-update and notification triggers, but the equivalent criteria logic must be rebuilt manually using Freshsales Sales Sequences and workflow conditions. We export your SimplyConvert criteria definitions as a structured rebuild reference — the export includes each rule's trigger field, condition operator, value threshold, and resulting action so your Freshsales admin can recreate the logic step-by-step. The rules themselves do not transfer as executable logic — this is a manual-rebuild requirement disclosed upfront before migration begins.

  • Referral relationships collapse to a single Account link by default

    SimplyConvert allows a client to have multiple referral sources listed simultaneously. Freshsales Account Account Relationships support many-to-many referral tracking, but the migration maps one primary referral source as the Account lookup on the Contact. Secondary referral sources are preserved as Account Account Relationship records, but your team may need to configure Freshsales views to surface them. We document the full referral graph in the migration plan so nothing is silently dropped.

  • SimplyConvert API rate limits constrain document extraction speed

    The SimplyConvert API throttles document downloads at 200 requests per minute — significantly lower than the 2000 req/min for record reads. For case inventories with hundreds of attachments, the document phase of extraction extends the migration timeline. We batch downloads within the 200/min window and run them in parallel with record extraction to minimize wall-clock time. For a case inventory with 500 attachments, document extraction alone can take 3-4 hours at the constrained rate.

  • Custom intake fields require exact name matching for Freshsales import

    SimplyConvert generates dynamic custom intake fields per litigation type (Camp Lejeune injury categories, BSA claim types, etc.). Freshsales custom fields must be created with the exact field name before import — field-type mismatches cause import rejection. We snapshot your SimplyConvert field schema during discovery, generate the Freshsales field-creation checklist, and hold migration until all custom fields are pre-created with matching types. The checklist specifies field name, Freshsales field type (text, picklist, date, etc.), and whether it belongs on the Contact or Deal record.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful SimplyConvert to Freshsales data migration

  1. Schema discovery and referral-graph mapping

    We run a read-only API scan of your SimplyConvert account to snapshot all client fields, case custom properties, document counts, and referral relationships. This discovery run identifies: which intake fields are standard vs. litigation-specific, how many referral links exist per client, whether any cases share multiple clients (common in mass torts), and what the document attachment ratio looks like. We deliver a Freshsales field-creation checklist before any data moves.

  2. Pre-create Freshsales custom fields and referral Account structure

    Your Freshsales admin (or our team) creates the custom fields identified in discovery — Trauma_Type__c, SOL_Date__c, Case_Type__c, Original_Create_Date__c, Source_System_ID__c, and any litigation-specific fields — matching the field types from SimplyConvert exactly. Referral Accounts are pre-created for known firm sources using the referral graph discovered in Step 1. No migration records are loaded until the field schema is confirmed complete via a pre-flight check against Freshsales API.

  3. Owner and user resolution by email

    SimplyConvert users are matched to Freshsales users by email address using the Freshsales Users API lookup endpoint. Any SimplyConvert user without a matching Freshsales account is flagged as an unresolved owner — your team either provisions the Freshsales user before migration or assigns those records to a fallback user designated during setup. We resolve all foreign keys before the first record is written to Freshsales to prevent orphaned case assignments.

  4. Sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first — spanning clients, cases, referral relationships, and a sample document set. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against Freshsales fields so you can verify: case stage mapping correctness, custom field population accuracy, referral link resolution completeness, and document attachment integrity. Sample approval gates the full run — you sign off before the bulk migration commits.

  5. Full migration with delta-pickup cutover

    The full migration runs against Freshsales using the Bulk API for record writes and the Files API for document attachments. Documents extract at the 200/min rate in parallel with record writes to maximize throughput. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after the full run) captures any clients or cases created in SimplyConvert during the cutover period. An audit log records every operation with timestamps, and one-click rollback reverts Freshsales to pre-migration state if reconciliation reveals a mapping error.
