Overview
Moving from WayMore to Freshsales is a migration from a marketing-automation-first platform with no documented public API to a structured sales CRM with a full REST and Bulk API. WayMore records export via CSV from the dashboard, which limits extraction speed and completeness compared to API-based platforms. We extract Contact records with behavioral properties, Company associations, and any available Campaign metadata as CSV, transform field names and value formats to match Freshsales schema, and load through the Freshsales API with batch chunking. Dynamic segment memberships snapshot as static contact lists at migration time, and Automation Workflow definitions are documented as written specifications for the customer's admin to rebuild in Freshsales. Marketing asset files (templates, images, chatbot flows) do not migrate because they have no export mechanism in WayMore. We do not migrate Sequences, Workflows, or Forms as code.
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 WayMore 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.
WayMore
Contact
Freshsales
Contact
1:1WayMore Contact records export cleanly via CSV from the dashboard Contacts section. Standard fields (first_name, last_name, email, phone) map directly to Freshsales Contact fields. Behavioral properties (e.g., last_visited_page, utm_source, channel_preference) map to custom fields on Contact that we pre-create in Freshsales before ingestion. Email address is the primary dedupe key.
WayMore
Company
Freshsales
Account
1:1WayMore Company records map to Freshsales Account. The Company name becomes Account Name, and domain-related properties map to Website. Accounts must import before Contacts so that the AccountId lookup relationship is resolved at Contact insert time. We extract the Company-to-Contact association from WayMore's CSV export and use it to link each Contact to its parent Account during transformation.
WayMore
Custom Fields (Contacts)
Freshsales
Custom Fields (Contacts)
lossyWayMore custom properties on Contacts vary by account. We map each custom field by name and infer Salesforce-compatible field types (Text, Number, Date, Picklist) from the source values. We pre-create the corresponding custom fields in Freshsales via the API before ingestion. Type preservation is not guaranteed without explicit field-by-field review; we flag any ambiguous types during scoping.
WayMore
Segment
Freshsales
Contact List
1:1WayMore segments are defined by dynamic rule sets that update automatically as contacts meet criteria. Freshsales does not support equivalent dynamic rules natively. We export the current contact membership of each segment as a static list and create a corresponding Freshsales Contact List for each. The dynamic rule logic is documented in the migration inventory for manual reconfiguration if needed.
WayMore
Email Campaign
Freshsales
Deal or Custom Object
1:manyWayMore Email Campaign records (subject, send date, recipient count, open rate, click rate) do not map directly to a standard Freshsales object. We map campaign metadata to a Freshsales custom object Campaign_Metrics__c linked to the primary Account, and we associate campaign recipients as Contact List memberships. Campaign content bodies do not migrate as editable templates.
WayMore
SMS Message
Freshsales
Custom Object
1:1WayMore SMS campaign records and templates export via CSV. Opt-out status per contact migrates to Freshsales HasOptedOutOfEmail. SMS message content maps to a Freshsales custom object SMS_History__c linked to Contact. Freshsales does not have a native SMS module on all tiers; we note whether the destination plan includes SMS and flag any additional Freshsales SMS add-on licensing required.
WayMore
Tag
Freshsales
Tag
1:1WayMore tags applied to Contacts export as a comma-separated list in the Contact CSV. We parse each tag and apply it to the corresponding Freshsales Contact record. Freshsales tags use the same string-based tagging model as WayMore, so the tag names transfer directly without transformation.
WayMore
Automation Workflow
Freshsales
Workflow Automator (not migrated)
lossyWayMore Automation Workflows define customer journey logic with triggers, conditions, and delays. We document the workflow structure, step sequence, and trigger conditions as a written specification deliverable. Active execution state, pending delays, and queued messages do not transfer. Contacts will need to re-enter workflows at the destination. Freshsales Workflow Automator is a separate rebuild task for the customer's admin.

Migration approach
Scoping and data audit
We audit the WayMore account via dashboard access, identifying all Contacts, Companies, Campaigns, SMS records, custom fields, active segments, and active automation workflows. We document the complete data inventory and flag any records visible only in the UI (not included in CSV exports). We also identify the Freshsales destination account, confirm the plan tier, and note any SMS or telephony add-ons in scope.
CSV extraction from WayMore
We request and download CSV exports from the WayMore dashboard for all standard objects (Contacts, Companies, Campaigns, SMS). We parse field headers to confirm completeness and flag any missing columns. For behavioral properties and segment definitions not included in standard CSV exports, we document manual extraction steps and provide a checklist for the customer to complete. This step takes longer than API-based extractions because it relies on batch exports and UI navigation.
Schema design in Freshsales
We pre-create all required custom fields in Freshsales via the API, including Contact custom fields for WayMore behavioral properties, Account custom fields for company-level metadata, and any custom objects for campaign metrics. We configure tag compatibility and verify that the Freshsales plan tier supports the required features (e.g., multiple pipelines, SMS module, Workflow Automator). Schema is validated in a Freshsales sandbox environment before production migration begins.
Transformation and deduplication
We transform WayMore field names and value formats to match Freshsales schema. Email address is the dedupe key for Contact records. Companies export first to establish Account records with their Account IDs, which are then referenced in the Contact CSV via a lookup during transformation. We flag and quarantine any Contacts with missing or duplicate email addresses for customer-side reconciliation before ingestion.
Production ingestion via Freshsales API
We load records into Freshsales using the appropriate API method based on volume. Accounts and Contacts ingest via the Freshsales REST API with batch POST operations and rate-limit handling. Activity history and custom object records ingest via Bulk API where applicable. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Segment membership snapshots import as Freshsales Contact Lists.
Cutover and handoff
We freeze writes in WayMore during the final cutover delta, migrate any remaining records, then switch the system of record to Freshsales. We deliver a written migration inventory documenting the complete workflow definitions, segment rule logic, and active automation states that require manual rebuild in Freshsales Workflow Automator. We support a three-day hypercare window for reconciliation issues and do not rebuild workflows, sequences, or forms as part of the migration scope.
