Overview

What this migration involves

Touchpoint MX organizes customer feedback and journey stages across Email, SMS, and Voice channels, but lacks native pipeline management, deal tracking, and the reporting depth that B2B sales teams require at scale. Freshsales provides a standard CRM data model (Contacts, Accounts, Deals, Tasks) with built-in phone, email, and Freddy AI scoring from $15 per user per month. This migration is a schema expansion: Touchpoint MX data is primarily contact-centric, while Freshsales uses an Account-Contact hierarchy with Opportunities and Activity history. We extract all Touchpoint MX objects via UI export or CSV, transform Journey Map stages into custom Contact fields, map Channel preferences to Freshsales contact properties, and import Feedback Records as structured Notes. We do not migrate Touchpoint MX automations or integrations; we deliver a written inventory of active Message Templates and channel configurations for your admin to reconfigure in Freshsales.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Touchpoint MX

What's pushing teams away

  • Reporting lacks advanced filtering and segmentation — users must export data to build stakeholder-specific dashboards, and tracking by journey stage or revenue impact is not native.
  • Limited dashboard customization for business cases — reviewers request more flexible reporting to make a stronger ROI case for CX improvements internally.
  • Email delivery speed inconsistencies — at least one reviewer noted emails sometimes take a long time to be delivered, which matters for time-sensitive campaigns.

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 Touchpoint MX objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a Touchpoint MX 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.

Touchpoint MX

Contact

maps to

Freshsales

Contact + Account

1:many
Fully supported

Touchpoint MX Contacts map to Freshsales Contact records. Because Freshsales uses an Account-Contact hierarchy, we resolve or create a Freshsales Account for each Contact during import. If Touchpoint MX stores an organization name on the Contact, we use it as the Account name. If no organization is stored, we create a single Account named after the Contact's name and link the Contact to it. The Contact's primary email, phone, and any custom field values migrate to Freshsales Contact properties.

Touchpoint MX

Journey Map

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Contact Fields

lossy
Fully supported

Journey Maps in Touchpoint MX use custom stage labels defined by the organization. We export each Journey Map as a structured stage sequence and create equivalent custom fields on the Freshsales Contact record (e.g., Journey_Stage__c, Journey_Start_Date__c, Next_Stage__c). We produce a stage mapping table for customer approval before migration to ensure Contacts land in the correct lifecycle position. This is a configuration step that precedes Contact import.

Touchpoint MX

Channel assignments

maps to

Freshsales

Contact communication preferences

1:1
Fully supported

Touchpoint MX stores Email, SMS, and Voice channel status per Contact. We map these to Freshsales Contact properties: Email_Opt_In__c, SMS_Opt_In__c, and Voice_Consent__c as boolean custom fields. If Freshsales has native communication preference fields, we use those instead of custom fields to avoid unnecessary schema extension.

Touchpoint MX

Satisfaction Score

maps to

Freshsales

Contact rating field or custom field

1:1
Fully supported

Touchpoint MX Satisfaction Scores are date-stamped values tied to Contacts. We map these to Freshsales Contacts using a custom field (Satisfaction_Score__c as number) and a companion date field (Score_Date__c) to preserve the collection timestamp. If the customer's Freshsales tier includes a native rating field, we use it and set Score_Date__c for historical context.

Touchpoint MX

Feedback Record

maps to

Freshsales

Note (linked to Contact)

1:1
Fully supported

Touchpoint MX Feedback Records capture structured customer responses with date collected and related Contact. We export Feedback text, response date, and source interaction, and import these as Freshsales Notes attached to the corresponding Contact record via ContentDocumentLink. We preserve the original Feedback date as the Note CreatedDate to maintain chronological ordering in the Contact's activity timeline.

Touchpoint MX

Message Template

maps to

Freshsales

Email Template (exported reference list)

1:1
Fully supported

Touchpoint MX Message Templates define reusable outbound content with personalization tokens. We export Template content, subject lines, and token placeholders as a structured reference list. Freshsales Email Templates use a different token syntax and object model. We do not import templates as code; we deliver a written inventory of all active Message Templates with their content, tokens, and recommended Freshsales Email Template equivalent for the customer's admin to rebuild in Freshsales.

Touchpoint MX

Custom Fields (Contact-level)

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Contact Fields

lossy
Mapping required

Touchpoint MX custom fields on Contacts (including Manager-only and Attendee-only visibility settings) are exported with their values per Contact. We pre-create matching custom fields in Freshsales before migration. Visibility settings do not transfer; we map the most permissive read setting to avoid data suppression in Freshsales and flag any sensitive fields for the admin to configure access controls post-migration.

Touchpoint MX

User / Team Member

maps to

Freshsales

User

1:1
Fully supported

Touchpoint MX Users map by email and name to Freshsales User accounts. We export the full user list with role assignments and map Owner references on Contacts and Feedback Records to the corresponding Freshsales User via email lookup. If a Touchpoint MX Owner has no matching Freshsales User, we flag it for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

Touchpoint MX

Attachment

maps to

Freshsales

Attachment (linked to Contact)

1:1
Fully supported

Attachments associated with Contacts or Feedback Records in Touchpoint MX are exported as files and re-associated in Freshsales as Attachments on the Contact record. Large attachment volumes (over 1,000 files or files exceeding 25 MB) require chunked migration to avoid API timeout. We flag this in scoping if the customer's attachment volume exceeds this threshold.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Touchpoint MX has no documented public API

    The research CSV did not surface any public API reference, authentication method, rate limits, or bulk export endpoints for Touchpoint MX. Before we scope a migration, we request the customer confirm their data export method: UI-based export, CSV download, or any internal API access they have arranged. Without API access, we fall back to UI-driven or CSV-based extraction, which limits the volume and field coverage we can guarantee. We flag this upfront in the scoping call and advise customers with large data volumes to arrange API access or a full database export from Touchpoint MX before migration begins.

  • Journey Map stage taxonomy requires custom field design

    Touchpoint MX Journey Maps use a custom stage taxonomy defined by each organization. Freshsales has no native journey concept, so we must map each source stage to a custom Contact field or lifecycle stage property. We produce a stage mapping table during scoping for customer approval. If the customer has multiple Journey Maps with overlapping or conflicting stage labels, we consolidate them into a single set of custom fields to avoid data fragmentation in Freshsales. This design step adds one to two days to the discovery phase.

  • Freshsales Account-Contact hierarchy must be resolved before import

    Freshsales requires Contacts to be linked to an Account (the company/organization record). Touchpoint MX stores contacts with an optional organization field. During migration, we either use the stored organization to create or match a Freshsales Account, or create a placeholder Account named after the Contact for records with no organization. If the customer has existing Accounts in Freshsales that they want to match against, we need the Account list before migration begins so we can resolve the lookups during the transform phase rather than after.

  • Message Templates do not migrate as reusable assets

    Touchpoint MX Message Templates use a template syntax that does not map directly to Freshsales Email Templates. Freshsales templates use Liquid-style tokens and operate within the Freshsales email editor. We export Template content as a written inventory with subject lines, body copy, and personalization tokens listed per template. The customer's admin rebuilds these in Freshsales Email Templates post-migration. We provide a token mapping guide to translate Touchpoint MX tokens to Freshsales equivalents.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Touchpoint MX to Freshsales data migration

  1. Discovery and export method confirmation

    We audit the Touchpoint MX account for Contact volume, active Journey Maps, Feedback Record counts, custom field definitions, Message Template inventory, and active User list. We confirm the export method with the customer: UI-based CSV export, API access (if available), or a direct database export. If the customer has no API access and data volume exceeds 10,000 records, we advise arranging a bulk export from Touchpoint MX before scoping finalizes. The discovery output is a written scope with record counts per object and a confirmed export schedule.

  2. Journey Map stage design and custom field creation

    We review the customer's Touchpoint MX Journey Map stage labels and design the corresponding custom fields in Freshsales. Each Journey Map becomes a set of Contact-level custom fields (stage name, entry date, next stage). We create these fields in a Freshsales Sandbox or development environment first for validation, then deploy to the production org. We share the stage mapping table with the customer for approval before any data is loaded.

  3. Data extraction and transformation

    We extract all Touchpoint MX objects in the confirmed format (CSV from UI export or API response). We transform each record: Contacts receive Account resolution (create or match), Journey Map stages map to custom field values, Channel assignments map to opt-in custom fields, Satisfaction Scores map to numeric custom fields with timestamps, and Feedback Records are formatted as Note bodies. We deduplicate by email during the transform phase to avoid creating duplicate Contacts in Freshsales.

  4. Sandbox validation import

    We run a validation import into a Freshsales Sandbox environment using a representative sample of records (typically 10-20% of total volume). The customer's admin spot-checks 20-30 random Contacts against the Touchpoint MX source to confirm field mapping accuracy, Account linkage correctness, and Note attachment integrity. We address any mapping corrections identified during validation before the production import begins.

  5. Production import with reconciliation

    We run the full production import in dependency order: Accounts (from organization data), Contacts (with AccountId resolved and all custom fields populated), Notes (Feedback Records attached to Contacts), Attachments (chunked if volume exceeds threshold). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report comparing imported record count to exported record count. We target 100% row-count match with zero data loss on Contacts and Notes.

  6. Handoff and Message Template inventory delivery

    We deliver the Message Template inventory as a structured document listing each template's name, subject line, body content, personalization tokens, and recommended Freshsales Email Template equivalent. We also deliver the active channel configuration list (Email, SMS, Voice assignments) for the admin to reconfigure in Freshsales communication settings. We do not rebuild templates or reconfigure integrations as part of the standard migration scope. We offer a one-week hypercare window to resolve any post-import reconciliation issues raised by the customer's team.
