Overview
Moving from UPNIFY CRM to Salesforce is a structural upgrade for teams that have outgrown the SMB-tier feature set. UPNIFY stores its core commercial data (Clients, Companies, Opportunities, Prospects, Quotations, Products, Goals, and Calendar entries) in a flat schema that maps directly to Salesforce standard objects. The key migration work lives in the dependency order — Companies must import before Clients so that Account lookups resolve at insert time — and in the Quotation transformation, where UPNIFY embeds exchange-rate metadata per line item that requires flattening into a standard currency field before Salesforce ingest. We do not migrate UPNIFY Flow task-automation records, Connect WhatsApp conversation bundles, or Engage campaign configurations; these are destination-specific or volume-model-incompatible and must be rebuilt or re-purchased in Salesforce. We deliver a written inventory of all active integrations and custom fields for the customer's admin to configure post-migration.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a UPNIFY CRM 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.
UPNIFY CRM
Client
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1UPNIFY Client records map directly to Salesforce Contact. Standard fields (name, email, mobile phone, company association) migrate 1:1. Custom client fields (text, number, date, dropdown) map to Salesforce custom Contact fields prefixed with upnify_ for traceability. The client's company_link field resolves to the AccountId on Contact, which requires Companies to import first. Communication history stored on the Client record migrates as a Contact Activity timeline via Bulk API 2.0.
UPNIFY CRM
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1UPNIFY Companies map to Salesforce Account. The Company is a distinct B2B object used to group multiple Client contacts under one account. We import Accounts first so that the AccountId lookup on Contact resolves at insert time without parent-record errors. Account Name, Website, Industry, and Phone migrate as standard fields. Company-level custom fields map to custom Account fields with upnify_ prefix.
UPNIFY CRM
Opportunity
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1UPNIFY Opportunities drive pipeline management and tie to customizable pipeline stages. Each opportunity maps to Salesforce Opportunity with stage, amount, close date, owner, and probability preserved. UPNIFY stage names and IDs map to Salesforce StageName values via a customer-supplied stage-mapping document. Record Type is set based on the pipeline assignment in UPNIFY. Opportunity custom fields migrate as custom Opportunity fields.
UPNIFY CRM
Prospect
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Lead
1:1UPNIFY Prospects represent pre-qualified leads in a separate object from Clients. Prospects migrate to Salesforce Lead with name, email, phone, company, and lifecycle-stage values preserved in a custom field upnify_lifecycle_stage__c. Lead Status maps from UPNIFY's prospect status property. We flag any Prospect records that already have a converted Client relationship in UPNIFY to avoid duplicate Contact creation during migration.
UPNIFY CRM
Quotation
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Quote
1:1UPNIFY Quotations carry product line items, pricing, currency, and embedded exchange-rate metadata per line item. The multi-currency metadata (stored as embedded exchange rates per quotation record) must be flattened into a standard price field during import because Salesforce Quotes use the org-level currency and PricebookEntry without embedded rate metadata. We extract the original quotation total, convert to the customer's target Salesforce org currency using the embedded rate, and store the original UPNIFY currency and rate in custom Quote fields upnify_original_currency__c and upnify_exchange_rate__c for audit.
UPNIFY CRM
Product (Catalogs)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Product2
1:1UPNIFY Products managed under Catalogs map to Salesforce Product2. Product name, SKU (hs_sku equivalent), price, and description migrate as standard fields. Stock-level data does not migrate because UPNIFY does not populate it consistently. Pricebook2 entries are created during import to support Quote and OpportunityLineItem relationships. Bulk export of products runs via UPNIFY Administration before API probing if the API access scope is insufficient.
UPNIFY CRM
Goal
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task or Custom Goal Object
1:1UPNIFY Goals track team or user-level sales targets with period, target value, and owner assignment. Goals migrate as Salesforce Task records with a custom Task record type Goal, storing goal name, period, target value, and owner in custom fields upnify_goal_name__c, upnify_goal_period__c, and upnify_target_value__c. Goals are user-scoped so we resolve the owner to the Salesforce User via email match.
UPNIFY CRM
Calendar (Tasks and Reminders)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task
1:1UPNIFY Calendar entries include tasks, reminders, and appointments with owner, due date, and status. Task title, status (open/completed), due date, and owner assignment migrate to Salesforce Task. Completed vs. open status is preserved. ActivityDate is set to the original UPNIFY timestamp to maintain timeline ordering. Task assignment migrates by resolving the UPNIFY user reference to Salesforce OwnerId via email match.
UPNIFY CRM
Tag Segmentation
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Multi-Select Picklist
lossyUPNIFY Tags are applied across Clients, Companies, and Opportunities for segmentation. We export all tag assignments per object and reconstruct them in Salesforce as multi-select picklist fields on the respective objects (upnify_tags__c on Contact, Account, and Opportunity). The customer chooses tag strategy during scoping: either migrate all tags as a single concatenated picklist or collapse to the top N tags and archive the rest.
UPNIFY CRM
Custom Fields (Clients, Companies, Opportunities)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Fields
1:1UPNIFY custom fields are supported on Clients, Companies, and Opportunities with field types including text, number, date, and dropdown. We pre-create destination custom fields with matching API names (upnify_ prefix) and type-mapped Salesforce field types before migration. Dropdown fields in UPNIFY map to Salesforce picklist fields with values explicitly mapped. Any type mismatch is flagged during discovery for manual resolution.
UPNIFY CRM
User
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1UPNIFY Users are mapped by email address to Salesforce User records. Active vs. inactive status is preserved. Role and permission sets differ per CRM and require manual reassignment post-migration in Salesforce Profile and Permission Set configuration. We provision the mapping table during scoping and hold any User without a matching Salesforce record in a reconciliation queue.
UPNIFY CRM
Connect (WhatsApp Bundles)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Not Migrated
1:1UPNIFY Connect WhatsApp conversation bundles are sold as separate credit packs (e.g., Connect 5K at $449 one-time) stored in a separate data store from the CRM contact record. Conversation history cannot be ingested into Salesforce's native messaging model because WhatsApp message thread format is not a standard Salesforce object. We export conversation metadata (contact, timestamp, direction) as a structured CSV for the customer's records but do not migrate it as an active CRM object. Salesforce's native Messaging product or an AppExchange WhatsApp connector is recommended as the replacement.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source UPNIFY account across plan tier (Basic/Pro/MAX), active products in use (CRM only, CRM plus Engage, CRM plus Connect), object record counts (Clients, Companies, Opportunities, Prospects, Quotations, Products, Goals, Calendar entries), custom field inventory per object, pipeline count and stage names, tag segmentation usage, and integration stack (Facebook, WordPress, Zapier). We probe the API endpoints available in the customer's account context and confirm contract end date and billing cycle. The discovery output is a written migration scope, data volume estimate, and a recommendation on whether to migrate CRM data only or include Goals and Calendar history.
Destination schema design
We design the Salesforce destination schema in a Sandbox org. This includes provisioning custom fields (with upnify_ prefix) on Contact, Account, Opportunity, Lead, and Quote; creating the Record Type and Sales Process for each UPNIFY pipeline; configuring the Pricebook2 for product migration; and defining the tag-strategy multi-select picklist fields. The Quotation flattening logic is documented as a pre-transform step. Schema is deployed via Salesforce metadata API or change set for validation before production migration.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Accounts in, Contacts in, Leads in, Opportunities in, Quotes in, Tasks in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the UPNIFY source, and validates the Quotation exchange-rate flattening output. The Lead-Contact split (for any Prospects with existing Client relationships) is validated here. The customer signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins.
User reconciliation and Owner provisioning
We extract every distinct UPNIFY User referenced on Client, Company, Opportunity, Prospect, Goal, and Calendar records and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Users without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users and assigns them the appropriate Profile and Permission Sets. OwnerId references on Opportunities, Tasks, and Goals cannot resolve until this step is complete.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from UPNIFY Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved via company_link), Leads (Prospects with upnify_lifecycle_stage__c preserved), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved, stage mapped via customer-supplied mapping), Products and PricebookEntry (for Quote and Line Item support), Quotes (with exchange-rate flattening applied), Goals and Calendar (Tasks via Bulk API 2.0), and Tags (multi-select picklist reconstruction per object). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze UPNIFY 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 integration inventory (Facebook Pixel, WordPress, Zapier webhooks) as a configuration reference document for the customer's admin to rebuild in Salesforce or AppExchange equivalents. We deliver the Flow task CSV export and the Connect WhatsApp conversation metadata CSV as reference files. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues raised by the customer's sales team.
