Overview

What this migration involves

SimplyConvert is a legal-tech CRM built for mass-tort and personal-injury law firms. Its data model centers on Cases, Contacts, Users, and Documents, exposed through a REST API with per-endpoint rate limits (List Cases at 300/minute, Get/Create Case at 2000/minute). The platform tracks intake qualification status, referral sources, and attorney assignment per case. Salesforce Sales Cloud organizes data around Account, Contact, Lead, Case, and Opportunity objects with a relational model requiring foreign-key lookups — Accounts before Contacts, Contacts before Cases. Migrating from SimplyConvert to Salesforce means mapping case-intake properties to the Salesforce Case object, preserving referral attribution in custom fields, re-uploading documents to Salesforce Files, and resolving SimplyConvert user emails to Salesforce User records. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so AccountId lookups resolve before dependent records load, preserves original case creation timestamps in custom datetime fields, and captures any records modified during the cutover window via delta pickup. Workflows, chatbot flows, and intake-automation logic do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Salesforce Flow using FlitStack's exported definitions as a reference.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

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

Salesforce Sales Cloud logo

Salesforce Sales Cloud

What's pulling them in

  • The AppExchange marketplace with 5,000+ prebuilt apps gives enterprises integrations for nearly every business workflow without custom development.
  • Native Einstein AI for lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting adds intelligence without a separate platform purchase.
  • Territory management, multi-currency support, and advanced forecasting satisfy the needs of complex B2B sales organizations with structured revenue teams.
  • Slack, Tableau, and CPQ are deeply integrated into the core platform, keeping the sales stack unified for teams already in the Salesforce ecosystem.
  • Organizations with a large, established Salesforce implementation choose it because switching costs — integrations, custom code, trained admins — are prohibitive.

Object mapping

How SimplyConvert objects map to Salesforce Sales Cloud

Each row shows how a SimplyConvert 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.

SimplyConvert

Case

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Case

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert cases map directly to Salesforce Case records. Each case's intake status, case type, referral source, and assigned attorney carry over as standard and custom fields on the Case object. Case numbers in SimplyConvert are preserved as an external ID field for traceability.

SimplyConvert

Contact

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert contacts (prospective and signed clients) map to Salesforce Contact records. The Contact's name, email, phone, address, and primary case association migrate as Salesforce fields and lookups. Contacts without a company association land on a default Account record. If a contact has multiple case associations, each link is preserved as a separate Case Contact Role entry in Salesforce.

SimplyConvert

User

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

User

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert users (intake staff, attorneys) are resolved by email match against Salesforce User records. Unmatched users are flagged before migration — the team either creates Salesforce User accounts first or assigns records to a designated fallback owner to prevent orphaned cases.

SimplyConvert

Document

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

ContentVersion / ContentDocumentLink

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert files attached to cases are downloaded and re-uploaded to Salesforce Files as ContentVersion records, linked to the corresponding Case record via ContentDocumentLink. File size limits apply — files over 25 MB are chunked or flagged for manual re-upload by your team.

SimplyConvert

Referral Source

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Field on Case (Referral_Source__c)

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert tracks referral attribution (Google Ads, partner firm, organic) as a case property. Salesforce has no native referral-source field. We create a custom pick-list field (Referral_Source__c) on the Case object and map each value by name. Firms with free-form referral values may need a value-cleanse pass before migration.

SimplyConvert

Intake Status

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Field on Case (Intake_Status__c)

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert's qualification status (Qualified, Disqualified, Pending Review, Signed) has no direct Salesforce equivalent. We map it to a custom pick-list field (Intake_Status__c) on Case. If your firm uses Salesforce's native Case Status field for intake routing, FlitStack can map intake stages to custom Case Status values per record type instead.

SimplyConvert

Case Type / Practice Area

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Field on Case (Practice_Area__c)

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert case types (Motor Vehicle Accident, Mass Tort, Medical Malpractice) migrate to a custom pick-list field (Practice_Area__c) on Case. Value-by-value mapping is required when the source pick-list values differ from Salesforce's standard Case Type field. If any values are missing or misspellings exist, FlitStack will flag them for correction before the migration load to avoid validation errors.

SimplyConvert

Case Created Date

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom Field on Case (Original_Created_Date__c)

1:1
Fully supported

Salesforce's Case.CreatedDate is set at record creation time in Salesforce, not at the source creation time. Original SimplyConvert creation timestamps are preserved in a custom datetime field (Original_Created_Date__c) so historical intake reports show continuity. This allows reporting tools to generate accurate intake trends over time, even after the migration is complete.

SimplyConvert

User Assignment

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Case.OwnerId

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert's case-assigned attorney or intake staff resolves to a Salesforce User by email match and populates Case.OwnerId. If a SimplyConvert user has no matching Salesforce User, the case is assigned to a pre-designated fallback owner and flagged in the migration report for manual re-assignment.

SimplyConvert

Case Notes / Activity Log

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

CaseFeed / Task

1:1
Fully supported

SimplyConvert's case activity history (intake call summaries, status-change notes) migrates as Salesforce Tasks with the Case as the parent. Original activity timestamps and staff names are preserved. Chatbot conversation logs are not migrated — those are rebuild artifacts for your Salesforce Flow intake logic.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Referral-source and intake-status values require manual pick-list planning

    SimplyConvert stores referral source and intake qualification status as free-form or semi-structured case properties. Salesforce's Case object has no native fields for these. Before migration, your team must define the target pick-list values in Salesforce — FlitStack creates the custom fields, but the business logic owner (operations or marketing) should define the value set. Value-by-value mapping adds 1–2 days to planning. If your SimplyConvert values contain typos or inconsistent entries, a pre-migration data-cleanse pass is required to avoid Salesforce validation failures on pick-list mismatch.

  • SimplyConvert's per-endpoint API rate limits slow large-case exports

    SimplyConvert's API enforces endpoint-specific limits: List Cases is capped at 300 requests per minute, while Get Case and Create Case allow 2,000/minute. For firms with 10,000+ cases, paginating through the List Cases endpoint under a 300/minute cap adds meaningful elapsed time. FlitStack parallelizes across the higher-limit endpoints and schedules large-case exports during off-peak hours. Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 on the destination side handles the inbound load without rate-limit concern — the bottleneck is the SimplyConvert read side.

  • Documents re-uploaded to Salesforce Files, not linked natively

    SimplyConvert stores case documents in its own blob storage with per-case attachment linkage. When migrating to Salesforce, documents are downloaded and re-uploaded as ContentVersion records, then linked to the Case via ContentDocumentLink. The 25 MB per-file Salesforce limit applies — any SimplyConvert file exceeding this is flagged for manual re-upload. Document-level version history in SimplyConvert (if used) does not migrate; only the latest file version is transferred. File metadata (upload date, uploader name) is preserved as ContentVersion fields where the API surfaces it.

  • Unmatched SimplyConvert users leave cases without a Salesforce owner

    SimplyConvert case assignment maps to Salesforce Case.OwnerId via email match against Salesforce User records. If a SimplyConvert user (e.g., a former intake coordinator) has no corresponding Salesforce User account, FlitStack assigns those cases to a pre-designated fallback owner and logs them in the migration report. Cases without an owner cannot be saved in Salesforce unless your org uses the Dan Donahue 'Assign Using Workflow' workaround — this is not enabled by default and requires admin configuration.

  • Chatbot and intake-flow data is not migratable

    SimplyConvert captures client interactions through chatbot flows, intake questionnaires, and qualification logic that run inside the platform. Those conversation logs and qualification path histories live in SimplyConvert's application layer, not in exported case or contact records. FlitStack cannot extract them as structured data. Your intake Flow logic in Salesforce must be rebuilt from scratch — FlitStack provides an exported definition of your SimplyConvert workflow rules as a rebuild reference for your Salesforce admin or consultant.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful SimplyConvert to Salesforce Sales Cloud data migration

  1. Inventory SimplyConvert records and build the field map

    FlitStack connects to SimplyConvert via API using your provided API key and inventories all Cases, Contacts, Users, and Documents. We generate a full field-level map comparing each SimplyConvert field to its Salesforce target (standard field, custom field, or flagged for custom-field creation). You review and approve the map before any data moves. Referral-source values and intake-status values are extracted for pick-list planning in this phase.

  2. Create Salesforce custom fields and configure the Case schema

    Before data loads, FlitStack creates the required Salesforce custom fields (Intake_Status__c, Practice_Area__c, Referral_Source__c, Date_Of_Incident__c, Venue_State__c, Original_Created_Date__c, Source_System_ID__c) on the Case object via the Salesforce Metadata API. We also configure the field-level security profiles so the custom fields are visible to the right roles. Your Salesforce admin approves the field creation plan in sandbox before production custom fields are created and validation rules are tested.

  3. Resolve SimplyConvert users to Salesforce User records

    We extract all SimplyConvert Users and match them by email address against your Salesforce User list. Unmatched users are surfaced in a pre-migration report with the option to create Salesforce User accounts or assign a fallback owner. No case record is loaded without a resolved OwnerId — this prevents the orphaned-case problem that occurs when Salesforce saves a Case without an OwnerId in a sharing-model org.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 50–200 records (mix of open, closed, and pending cases) migrates into your Salesforce sandbox first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values to destination values for every mapped field, including custom pick-list mappings and date preservation. You verify intake-status routing, referral-source values, and document linkage before the full run commits. This step typically takes 1–2 days.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full dataset migrates into production Salesforce using a sequenced load order: Salesforce Users resolved, then Accounts/Contacts created or updated, then Cases with ContactId and OwnerId lookups resolved. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial load captures any records created or modified in SimplyConvert during the cutover. All operations are logged in an audit trail, and one-click rollback is available if record counts or field values deviate from expectations after reconciliation.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • Purpose-built for mass tort claimant intake with chatbot, TDP scoring, and claim form population in a single workflow
  • ABA-recognized legal tech innovator with lawyer-founded development team understands litigation-specific data requirements
  • Integrated referral platform and CaseHQ client portal consolidate intake and client-facing communication
  • Real-time case notifications and lead ranking directly support settlement-focused case management priorities
  • Per-conversion pricing aligns cost with firm revenue for high-volume litigations with clear intake-to-contract conversion

Weaknesses

  • Pay-per-conversion billing creates unpredictable and escalating costs as claimant volume grows across active litigations
  • Narrow mass tort specialization unsuitable for firms managing diverse practice areas beyond claimant intake
  • Small vendor footprint (23 employees, ~$1M revenue) raises long-term stability and support-capacity concerns
  • No dedicated bulk export API; large case histories require pagination through the 300 req/min List Cases endpoint
  • Limited documented API coverage for non-Case objects including Contacts, Users, and custom objects

Strengths

  • Largest enterprise app ecosystem in CRM with 5,000+ AppExchange integrations covering nearly every vertical workflow.
  • Native Einstein AI delivers lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting without a third-party layer.
  • Advanced territory management, multi-currency, and flexible forecasting satisfy complex B2B revenue structures.
  • Deep platform extensibility: Custom Objects, Apex, Flow, and the Metadata API allow full schema customization.
  • Well-documented REST API, Bulk API, and Composite API with published rate limits for programmatic migration.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is layered and opaque in practice: per-seat fees plus storage overages, add-on subscriptions, and annual uplifts compound to 30–40% above sticker price.
  • Workflow Rules and Process Builder are deprecated, forcing all orgs onto Salesforce Flow — a migration task that catches many teams by surprise.
  • Steep administrative complexity: meaningful configuration requires a dedicated Salesforce admin or consultant.
  • API rate limits are edition-gated (100k/day base for Enterprise) and easily exhausted by large historical imports without throttling.
  • Data export is exportable via Data Loader but preserving relationship integrity across 30+ objects requires careful ETL sequencing.

Most SimplyConvert-to-Salesforce migrations complete within 48–72 hours for firms with fewer than 50,000 case and contact records. Planning and custom-field setup adds 3–5 business days before the migration run. Firms with 50,000+ records, multiple practice-area pick-list values, or heavy document volumes extend to 5–10 days. The longest single step is usually the referral-source and intake-status value mapping, which requires your operations team to define the target pick-list values before custom fields are created in Salesforce.
