Overview
Moving from Streak to Salesforce is a structural migration: Streak's primary record is the Box, a Gmail-threaded CRM record with no direct Salesforce equivalent. We map Boxes to Opportunities or to Account-Contact pairs depending on whether the Box tracks a deal or a relationship, and we preserve stage history as a custom field or Activity timeline entry. Pipeline configurations become Salesforce Record Types and Sales Processes. Custom Box properties migrate as standard or custom fields. Mail merge campaigns and snippets are exported as structured data for manual re-creation; Streak sequences do not migrate to Salesforce because Sales Cloud has no native cadence engine. We use the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with chunking and exponential backoff for any large activity record sets, and we flag archived-user data that requires reactivation before export.
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 Streak 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.
Streak
Box
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity or Account-Contact pair
1:1Boxes that track deal progress (stage history, owner, value) map to Salesforce Opportunity with Record Type resolved from the Box's Pipeline. Boxes that track relationship or company context without a deal value map to an Account record, with the initiating email contact stored as a Contact under that Account. We determine the mapping strategy during scoping based on how the customer's team uses Pipelines versus standalone Boxes. Box stage history is preserved as a custom text area field and as Opportunity StageHistory entries if the destination org uses a Stage History app.
Streak
Pipeline
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Record Type + Sales Process
lossyEach Streak Pipeline becomes a Salesforce Record Type on Opportunity (or Case if the destination includes Service Cloud). The Pipeline's ordered Stages become Salesforce Stage values within a Sales Process that we configure before migration. Stage-specific custom fields from Streak migrate to Record Type-scoped field sets on Opportunity.
Streak
Stage
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity Stage
lossyStreak Stages map to Salesforce Stage values in the corresponding Sales Process. Stage probability percentages migrate as StageProbability values, rounded to the nearest integer allowed by Salesforce. Stage names with characters invalid in Salesforce picklist values are sanitized during transform.
Streak
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Streak Contacts map directly to Salesforce Contact records. The Contact's email address is the dedupe key. If a Streak Contact has no associated Box (orphan contact), we flag it for the customer's review before import. Gmail contact associations are preserved as metadata references rather than recreated.
Streak
Custom Box Properties
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields on Opportunity, Account, or Contact
1:1Custom properties on Boxes (dropdowns, text fields, dates, numbers, checkboxes) are discovered per Pipeline during the schema audit. Each property maps to a Salesforce custom field of equivalent type, scoped to the relevant Record Type. Picklist values on Streak dropdowns become Salesforce picklist or global value set values. Properties with no Salesforce equivalent become custom text fields.
Streak
Task
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1Streak Tasks map to Salesforce Task records. Status, Priority, and ActivityDate migrate directly. Task assignee is resolved via the Owner mapping. Streak tasks are flat with no subtasks or dependencies; if subtask-like relationships were simulated via Box links, we document them as Activity records on the parent Box's Opportunity.
Streak
Mail Merge Campaign
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Campaign + CampaignMembers (metadata only)
1:1Mail merge campaigns export as Campaign records with recipient lists, email template content, send history, and open/reply tracking. Campaign Members are created with Status mapped from Streak's send status values. Open tracking metrics and reply data are Streak-specific and map to custom Campaign fields (open_count__c, reply_count__c). We do not migrate the active cadence or sequence as executable automation.
Streak
Snippet
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Email Template (text or custom)
1:1Snippets export as Salesforce Email Template records. Merge variable syntax differs between Streak ({{contact.name}}) and Salesforce ({!Contact.Name}); we transform the variable names during export and document the mapping in the handoff. Active snippets in use by Mail Merge Campaigns are linked to the corresponding Campaign template.
Streak
Tag
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Multi-Select Picklist
lossyTags are flat labels applied to Boxes. We export all tag names and Box-tag associations. Tags migrate as Salesforce multi-select picklist fields on the Opportunity or the nearest standard object. Tags with no associated Boxes are preserved as empty picklist value sets for reconstruction.
Streak
Team Member / User
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Streak users map to Salesforce User records by email address match. We resolve each distinct owner referenced on Box, Contact, and Task records before migration. Archived users require reactivation in Streak before their Box data is accessible via API; we detect archived users during the schema audit and flag them for reactivation before export begins.
Streak
Pipeline Permissions
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Profile + Permission Set
1:1Enterprise-tier custom roles and data validation rules from Streak map to Salesforce Profiles and Permission Sets. We extract the role definitions and permission scopes during discovery and map them to the nearest Salesforce permission construct. Enterprise-only features with no Salesforce equivalent are documented in the handoff for manual reconfiguration.
Streak
Attachment
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentDocument + ContentVersion
1:1File attachments inside Box threads are referenced by Gmail file ID. We export the file URL, filename, size, and attachment date. Actual file content download requires the source Gmail account to remain active and accessible; we flag any attachments that cannot be downloaded due to account deactivation or permission changes.

Migration approach
Schema audit and Pipeline mapping strategy
We audit the source Streak account across all Pipelines, Boxes, Contacts, custom properties, tasks, mail merge campaigns, snippets, tags, and user records. We identify the Box-to-Opportunity mapping strategy (deal Boxes vs. relationship Boxes) based on how the customer's team uses Pipelines. We detect archived users and prompt for reactivation before proceeding. We document the full custom property schema per Pipeline and the tag vocabulary. The output is a written migration scope and mapping specification.
Destination schema design and Record Type configuration
We design the Salesforce destination schema in a Sandbox: Record Types (one per Streak Pipeline), Sales Processes (stage whitelist per Record Type), custom fields (mapped from Streak custom properties with type conversion), page layouts, and tag-as-picklist configuration. We also create any custom fields for mail merge campaign metadata and Box-thread association metadata. Schema is validated in Sandbox before production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Accounts/Contacts in, Opportunities in, Tasks in, Campaigns in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Streak source, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any mapping corrections and custom property type adjustments happen here.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Streak user referenced as an owner on Box, Contact, and Task records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Any Streak user without a matching Salesforce User goes to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions missing Users before record import resumes. Archived-user Box data is included only after confirmed reactivation.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in dependency order: Accounts (from Streak relationship Boxes), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Opportunities (with RecordTypeId, Stage, OwnerId, and Box-thread metadata resolved), Tasks, Campaigns (with member lists from mail merge exports), Snippets (as Email Templates), Custom Fields populated from Box properties, and Tags as multi-select picklists. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, delta sync, and handoff
We freeze Streak 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 Pipeline-to-Record Type map, the mail merge campaign inventory (with snippet variable mapping), the Enterprise permissions gap analysis, and the automation rebuild reference to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Streak sequences as Salesforce Flow or Sales Engagement cadences within the migration scope.
