Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Wetroo CRM to Freshsales is a migration between two SMB-focused CRMs with different data models. Wetroo uses a paginated REST API with only two documented endpoints and no bulk-export capability, which makes extraction slower than platforms with proper export APIs. We work around this by using the API key auth to pull records in paginated batches, calibrating extraction timelines during scoping. Wetroo does not expose drip sequences, automation rules, or WhatsApp message threads in any exportable schema, so these must be rebuilt in Freshsales using the exported contact lists as the audience. We map Wetroo Leads and Contacts to Freshsales Leads, preserve pipeline stage assignments, configure custom field mapping to prevent data loss during Freshsales Lead conversion, and deliver a written automation inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Wetroo CRM

What's pushing teams away

  • Small businesses outgrow the feature set when they need advanced reporting, custom objects, or enterprise-grade permissions beyond 20 users.
  • API documentation is minimal — developers building custom integrations or extraction pipelines hit walls quickly with no public schema reference.
  • Lead attribution and pipeline reporting are adequate but not deep; teams used to analytics-forward CRMs find the reporting surface limiting.
  • Customer support quality varies; some reviews report good experience while others cite responsiveness issues when problems arise at scale.

Choosing

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 Wetroo CRM objects map to Freshsales

Each row shows how a Wetroo CRM 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.

Wetroo CRM

Lead

maps to

Freshsales

Lead

1:1
Fully supported

Wetroo Leads migrate directly to Freshsales Leads. Source attribution (Facebook, Google, manual, WhatsApp) transfers as a custom field for lead attribution reporting. Lead status and any scoring values map to Freshsales Lead fields. Custom fields on Wetroo Leads must have corresponding custom fields created in Freshsales before migration; we create them during schema setup if they do not exist. Email serves as the unique identifier for dedupe checks.

Wetroo CRM

Contact

maps to

Freshsales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Wetroo Contacts migrate to Freshsales Contacts. We preserve contact details, phone numbers, email addresses, and lifecycle stage. Custom field values on Wetroo Contacts map to Freshsales Contact custom fields. If the Wetroo Contact has an associated Company, we resolve the Account lookup before Contact import so that no Contact is left without a parent Account.

Wetroo CRM

Company

maps to

Freshsales

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Wetroo Company records map directly to Freshsales Accounts. Company names, industry tags, and standard address fields migrate to Account fields. Address and billing data from Wetroo map to the corresponding Account address fields. Custom fields on Companies migrate to Account custom fields.

Wetroo CRM

Deal

maps to

Freshsales

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Wetroo Deals migrate to Freshsales Deals. Stage value, deal value, expected close date, and owner assignment are preserved. Pipeline-level custom stages are mapped to Freshsales pipeline stages, and we configure the Freshsales pipeline structure before migration begins so that stage values have valid landing spots.

Wetroo CRM

Pipeline and Stages

maps to

Freshsales

Pipeline and Sales Process

lossy
Fully supported

We read the Wetroo pipeline configuration via API and map it to a Freshsales pipeline structure. Stage names and order are preserved. Any stage-specific properties (probability, SLAs) map to Freshsales stage configuration. We configure the pipeline in Freshsales Admin settings before Deal import so that every Deal lands in a valid pipeline stage.

Wetroo CRM

Activity: Call Logs

maps to

Freshsales

Call

1:1
Fully supported

Wetroo OBD call records extracted via the /api/v1/?apirequest=obd_record endpoint migrate to Freshsales Call records. Call duration, disposition, timestamp, and recording URL (where available) map to Freshsales Call fields. Call records are linked to the parent Contact, Account, or Deal via the lookup resolution step.

Wetroo CRM

Activity: WhatsApp Messages

maps to

Freshsales

Note

1:1
Fully supported

WhatsApp conversation threads from Wetroo's conversation API migrate to Freshsales Note records attached to the parent Contact or Deal. We extract message content, timestamps, and sender/receiver. Media attachments require a separate download step and are re-attached manually in Freshsales. This adds a step to the migration timeline for accounts with high WhatsApp volume. The Note body includes conversation thread text for rep reference.

Wetroo CRM

Activity: Emails, Tasks, Events

maps to

Freshsales

Email, Task, Event

1:1
Fully supported

Wetroo email engagements, tasks, and calendar events migrate to Freshsales Email, Task, and Event records respectively. Email content and timestamps transfer to Freshsales Email records linked to the parent record. Task records preserve status, priority, due date, and owner assignment. Event records (meetings, appointments) migrate with start time, end time, location, and attendee data.

Wetroo CRM

Custom Fields

maps to

Freshsales

Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

Custom fields on Wetroo Leads, Contacts, Companies, and Deals are supported for migration. We create equivalent custom fields in Freshsales during schema setup, mapping field names and types. Picklist and multi-select values require explicit value-list mapping between Wetroo and Freshsales options. Fields without a clear Freshsales equivalent are flagged for the customer's admin to decide on a landing spot.

Wetroo CRM

Drip Marketing Sequences

maps to

Freshsales

Sales Sequences

1:1
Not supported

Wetroo drip marketing sequences and automated sales cadences are automation-layer objects with no exposed schema or export endpoint. We do not migrate drip sequences. We export the contact lists used as sequence audiences so the customer's admin can rebuild sequences in Freshsales Sales Sequences using the same contact segments. The sequence definitions (step logic, delays, actions) must be documented manually during scoping and rebuilt in Freshsales Workflows or Sequences.

Wetroo CRM

Integrations

maps to

Freshsales

Integrations

1:1
Not supported

Wetroo integrations with third-party platforms (payment gateways, accounting tools, shipping solutions, affiliate trackers) are configuration-level settings that do not live in Wetroo's data model. We do not migrate integration configurations. We document which integrations are active in Wetroo and provide a reference list of Freshsales-native equivalents or Freshworks ecosystem alternatives for the customer's IT team to configure post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Wetroo has no bulk-export endpoint for standard CRM objects

    Wetroo's public API exposes only two documented endpoints: OBD call records and a webhook for lead creation. There is no bulk-export endpoint for Contacts, Companies, Deals, or Activities. We work around this using paginated REST API calls with API key auth to pull records in batches. This is slower than bulk export on platforms with proper export APIs and requires us to estimate record counts during scoping to calibrate extraction timelines. We test pagination limits before committing to a migration schedule.

  • Freshsales Lead conversion can silently drop custom field data

    When a Freshsales Lead converts to a Contact, Account, and Deal, custom field values on the Lead are only preserved if explicit field mapping is configured in Admin settings under Leads module conversion settings. Without this mapping, custom field data is lost at conversion. We configure the conversion field mapping during Freshsales schema setup before migration begins and verify that all Wetroo custom field values on Leads have a mapped destination on Contact, Account, or Deal.

  • Drip sequences and automation logic cannot be migrated

    Wetroo drip marketing sequences, sales cadences, and automation rules live in an automation layer with no exposed schema or export endpoint. When migrating to Freshsales, these workflows must be rebuilt from scratch using Freshsales Sales Sequences or Workflows. We export the contact lists used as sequence audiences and flag all active sequences during scoping so the customer's admin has the segments available for rebuild. Sequence step logic, delay configurations, and CRM actions must be documented manually before migration begins.

  • WhatsApp conversation extraction requires a separate step

    WhatsApp conversation threads are stored in Wetroo's messaging layer and accessed via a separate conversation API. We extract message content and timestamps, but media attachments require an additional download step and must be re-attached manually in Freshsales. This adds a step to the migration timeline for accounts with high WhatsApp volume. We advise customers to document any critical WhatsApp threads that require preservation before extraction begins.

  • Freshsales free tier limits affect migration scope planning

    Freshsales Free plan (up to 3 users) limits automation, advanced reporting, and customization options. If the customer's migration scope includes sequences, advanced workflows, or custom objects, they may need to upgrade to Growth ($9/user) or Pro ($39/user) before migration begins. We check migration scope against the destination Freshsales plan tier during scoping and flag any feature dependencies that require a plan upgrade to support the migrated data structure.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Wetroo CRM to Freshsales data migration

  1. Scoping and Wetroo API calibration

    We audit the Wetroo CRM account via paginated API extraction across Leads, Contacts, Companies, Deals, Activities, and Pipelines. We test pagination limits during scoping to calibrate extraction timelines. We identify custom fields, pipeline configurations, active drip sequences, and WhatsApp conversation volume. We review the current Freshsales plan tier to confirm it supports the migrated data structure or flag any plan upgrade needed before migration begins.

  2. Freshsales schema design and Lead conversion mapping

    We design the destination Freshsales schema. This includes provisioning custom fields on Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Deals to match Wetroo custom field names and types. We configure the Freshsales pipeline structure to mirror Wetroo pipeline stages. We configure Lead conversion field mapping under Admin settings to ensure custom field values on Wetroo Leads are preserved when converted in Freshsales. Schema is deployed into the Freshsales destination org before any data import begins.

  3. Data extraction from Wetroo via paginated API

    We extract data from Wetroo using paginated REST API calls with API key auth. Records are pulled in batches, cleaned (duplicate resolution, format normalization), and staged in our migration environment. OBD call records are extracted via the dedicated endpoint. WhatsApp conversation threads are extracted via the conversation API and staged separately for attachment handling. Drip sequence audiences are exported as contact lists for the customer's admin to use during sequence rebuild.

  4. Contact deduplication and owner reconciliation

    We run deduplication against Wetroo Contacts and Leads using email as the unique identifier. Duplicate records are flagged for the customer's admin to resolve before import. Owner records are reconciled against Freshsales Users by email match. Any Wetroo owner without a matching Freshsales User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Wetroo Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Leads (with custom field mapping configured), Deals (with pipeline and stage resolved), Activities (calls, emails, tasks, events, WhatsApp notes), and custom field values. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Freshsales bulk import tools and API endpoints with rate-limit handling.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff

    We freeze Wetroo writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Freshsales as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of all Wetroo drip sequences, automation rules, and active integrations with Freshsales equivalents noted. We support a one-week hypercare window to resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Wetroo automations as Freshsales Workflows or Sequences inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or internal admin task.

Strengths

  • Native WhatsApp Business API channel gives sales teams a unified inbox for leads, follow-ups, and support without third-party middleware.
  • Meta Conversions API official partner enables direct CRM-to-Meta attribution without workarounds, optimising ad spend ROI.
  • Instant lead alerts from Facebook Lead Forms, Google Data Extractor, and manual entry reach reps on mobile within seconds of submission.
  • Free tier with unlimited alerts and no credit card requirement provides a genuine zero-cost starting point for very small teams or solo operators.
  • Visual canvas workflow builder lets non-technical users construct custom API-based integrations without writing code.

Weaknesses

  • No documented bulk-export endpoint means data extraction relies on paginated API calls and scripted access — bulk migration tooling is not officially supported.
  • Per-user pricing with hard seat caps on lower tiers (5 on Pro, 20 on Business) creates an immediate cost cliff when teams grow beyond the tier limit.
  • API documentation is sparse; the public reference at api.wetroo.com covers only two endpoints (OBD records and webhook lead creation), limiting what we can confidently extract.
  • Drip marketing sequences and sales automation cadences live in a separate automation layer with no exportable schema — they cannot be migrated and must be rebuilt manually.
  • English-language community presence and third-party support resources are thin compared to major CRMs, making troubleshooting harder for non-Hindi-speaking teams.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for accounts under 10,000 Contacts and 2,000 Deals with no high-volume WhatsApp archive. Migrations with extensive WhatsApp conversation history (over 50,000 message records), multiple custom field dependencies, or complex pipeline configurations requiring extensive Lead conversion mapping move to six to ten weeks because of conversation API extraction time and Freshsales conversion rule validation.
