Overview
StreetSmart users move to Zoho CRM when they need deeper automation, broader customization, and access to an integrated software ecosystem as their team scales. The migration carries all core business data — contacts, accounts, deals, tasks, events, calls, and notes — into Zoho CRM's equivalent modules. Custom fields and pick-list values are recreated as Zoho custom fields with value-by-value mapping so the data remains meaningful after transfer. FlitStack AI does not migrate workflows, sequences, or templates; those require manual rebuild in Zoho's Blueprint and workflow tools. The migration extracts data via StreetSmart's export API, transforms it according to the agreed mapping plan, and loads it into Zoho through bulk import with a delta window capturing in-flight changes during the cutover. The sequence respects Zoho's module dependencies — Accounts must exist before Contacts, and Contacts must exist before Deals — so foreign keys resolve correctly on the first pass. After the bulk load, a final validation step cross-checks record counts and field completeness in Zoho, flagging any discrepancy for manual review before the system goes 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 StreetSmart object lands in Zoho CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
StreetSmart
Contact
Zoho CRM
Contacts
1:1StreetSmart contacts map directly to Zoho CRM Contacts. If a contact has no primary company in StreetSmart, it is attached to a placeholder 'Unassigned Account' created in Zoho to prevent orphan records. Owner is resolved by email match against Zoho Users.
StreetSmart
Company
Zoho CRM
Accounts
1:1StreetSmart companies map to Zoho CRM Accounts. Company hierarchies (parent/child) are preserved using Zoho's Parent Account lookup field. StreetSmart's company domain field maps to Zoho's Website field for web-based account identification. If a company has no parent, the parent field is left blank, and its address details are mapped to the Billing Address fields in Zoho for consistency.
StreetSmart
Deal
Zoho CRM
Deals
1:1StreetSmart deals map to Zoho CRM Deals as the core revenue-tracking object. The deal name, amount, expected close date, and owner transfer directly. Deal stage from StreetSmart's custom stage field becomes a Zoho custom pick-list that must be pre-created in the Deals layout before import.
StreetSmart
Task
Zoho CRM
Tasks
1:1StreetSmart tasks migrate to Zoho CRM Tasks preserving subject, status, due date, priority, and the related parent record (Contact, Account, or Deal). Original create timestamps are stored in a custom datetime field since Zoho's CreatedDate reflects migration insertion time. Task status values are mapped to Zoho's predefined Status picklist, ensuring consistent state representation across records.
StreetSmart
Meeting
Zoho CRM
Events
1:1StreetSmart meeting records migrate as Zoho CRM Events with the original start time, end time, location, and description preserved. Events are linked to the corresponding Contact or Deal record by Zoho's lookup relationship field. If the meeting includes attendees beyond the primary contact, Zoho's Additional Attendees field can be populated using a comma-separated list derived from StreetSmart's attendee records.
StreetSmart
Call Log
Zoho CRM
Calls
1:1StreetSmart call logs migrate to Zoho CRM Calls with call direction, duration, subject, and disposition notes. Call ownership is resolved by matching the StreetSmart call owner's email to a Zoho User. Call-to-contact linkage is preserved via Zoho's related-record lookup. Call disposition codes from StreetSmart are mapped to Zoho's Call Result picklist, preserving outcome categorization.
StreetSmart
Note
Zoho CRM
Notes
1:1StreetSmart notes migrate as Zoho CRM Notes, preserving the note body text, creation date, and the parent record it was attached to in StreetSmart. Rich-text formatting is stripped to plain text if the source note contains non-standard markup that Zoho's Note editor cannot parse.
StreetSmart
User / Owner
Zoho CRM
Users
1:1StreetSmart record owners are matched to Zoho CRM Users by email address. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration with a fallback owner assignment report. Zoho User records must exist in Zoho before the migration runs; the migration plan includes a user-provisioning checklist.
StreetSmart
Custom Field (any module)
Zoho CRM
Custom Field
1:1StreetSmart custom properties are analyzed by data type and mapped to Zoho custom fields — text to Text, numeric to Number or Currency, date to Date, and pick-list values to Picklist. Multi-select StreetSmart fields map to Zoho multi-select pick-lists, which require the values to be pre-loaded in Zoho's field configuration.
StreetSmart
Tag / Label (multi-value)
Zoho CRM
Multi-Select Pick-list
1:1StreetSmart tag arrays on contacts or companies convert to a Zoho multi-select pick-list field. The pick-list values are extracted from StreetSmart's unique tag values, created in Zoho's field designer, and then mapped during import. Tags with no matching pick-list value are recorded in a catch-all 'Other Tags' value for manual review.
StreetSmart
Attachment / File
Zoho CRM
Attachments
1:1StreetSmart file attachments are downloaded from the source, re-uploaded to Zoho CRM's Attachments section, and linked to the corresponding record by ID. Zoho's 25 MB per-file limit applies; files exceeding this are flagged for manual chunking or alternative storage before import.
StreetSmart
Workflow / Sequence
Zoho CRM
Not Migrated
1:1StreetSmart workflows and sequences are not migrated. Each platform's automation engine is independent, and automation logic cannot be ported via data export. FlitStack AI exports the workflow definitions as a JSON reference document for the Zoho admin to use when rebuilding automations in Zoho Blueprint.
StreetSmart
Report / Dashboard
Zoho CRM
Not Migrated
1:1Reports and dashboards in StreetSmart do not transfer — the underlying data migrates, but the report configurations and visualizations are destination-specific. Zoho Analytics or custom report builders are used to recreate the reporting layer post-migration. The migration package includes a Zoho Analytics workspace template with pre-configured dashboards that replicate the key performance indicators tracked in StreetSmart, allowing quick recreation of reports after migration.
StreetSmart
Integration / Connection
Zoho CRM
Not Migrated
1:1Third-party integrations connected to StreetSmart — email sync, calendar bridges, form connectors — must be rebuilt for Zoho CRM. Integration rebuild is documented as a post-migration step with a connectivity checklist delivered alongside the migration plan. The connectivity checklist enumerates each third-party service, the authentication method required, and the corresponding Zoho connector or Deluge script to re-establish integration after the cutover.

Migration approach
Audit StreetSmart schema and Zoho environment readiness
FlitStack AI connects to StreetSmart via scoped read access and extracts the full record inventory: contact count, account count, deal count, task and event volume, custom field definitions, and unique pick-list values. In parallel, the Zoho CRM environment is reviewed for existing modules, layouts, and user list. The audit produces a schema delta report identifying custom fields that need creation in Zoho, pick-list values requiring pre-configuration, and records with unmapped or orphan data that need resolution before the migration run.
Configure Zoho modules, custom fields, and pick-lists
Based on the audit, FlitStack AI creates the custom fields, pick-list values, and layout assignments required in Zoho CRM. This includes the deal-stage custom pick-list, multi-select tag fields, original-create-date datetime fields, and source-system-ID text fields. Zoho Users are matched to StreetSmart owners by email, and a fallback owner is designated for any unmatched cases. The Zoho schema configuration is validated in a sandbox or staging import before the full migration begins.
Run a test migration with a representative sample
A test migration runs against 100–300 representative records spanning contacts, accounts, deals, and activity history. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff comparing the source values against the Zoho import output, verifying deal-stage pick-list mapping, multi-select tag conversion, owner resolution, and parent-account linkage. Any mapping errors, pick-list gaps, or data-truncation issues are corrected in the migration plan before the full run commits. The test migration results are shared with the customer for sign-off.
Execute full migration with dependency-ordered import sequence
The full migration runs in the correct Zoho dependency order: Accounts first, then Contacts and Leads, then Deals, then Tasks, Events, Calls, and Notes. File attachments are downloaded from StreetSmart and re-uploaded to Zoho CRM's Attachments section linked by record ID. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours is opened at the point of cutover to capture any new records or modifications made in StreetSmart during the migration run. FlitStack AI monitors Zoho API credit consumption throughout and throttles batch size to avoid rate-limit interruptions.
Validate record counts, spot-check data, and deliver migration summary
Post-migration, FlitStack AI compares record counts between StreetSmart and Zoho for each module and flags any discrepancies. Spot-checks verify that deal amounts, contact emails, account names, and activity timestamps transferred correctly. Owner resolution reports show matched and unmatched owners. The deliverable includes a migration summary report, the workflow export reference document, and a post-migration checklist covering Zoho automation rebuild, integration reconnection, and reporting configuration.
