Overview
Wishpond and Freshsales serve different primary functions: Wishpond is a marketing automation platform centered on lead capture through landing pages, forms, and email drip campaigns, while Freshsales is a sales CRM that organizes data around Contacts, Accounts, and Deals. This structural difference shapes every migration. We export Wishpond's Leads as Contacts in Freshsales, with any form-captured custom fields mapped to Freshsales Contact properties. Landing page metadata and email campaign participation (which contacts received which emails) migrate as Tags or Campaign Members rather than as native objects. Automation workflows and A/B test configurations do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory documenting each active workflow's trigger, conditions, and actions so your admin can rebuild them in Freshsales Workflows. Wishpond's API enforces a 60-second blocking window on rate limit violations, requiring us to batch exports into 100-record chunks with 65-second delays between batches, which extends export timelines for accounts above 10,000 leads.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Wishpond 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.
Wishpond
Leads
Freshsales
Contact
1:1Wishpond Leads are the primary data object and map directly to Freshsales Contacts. Standard fields (name, email, phone) migrate cleanly. We map Wishpond's lead source field to Freshsales's Lead Source picklist. Any phone number gaps (a documented Wishpond weakness where records often lack phone) are flagged in the reconciliation report. Custom fields captured via Wishpond forms map to Freshsales custom Contact properties, with field types matched (text to text, number to number, date to date). Wishpond lead scoring values migrate to Freshsales custom fields if the customer has Freddy AI configured.
Wishpond
Leads (unqualified)
Freshsales
Lead
1:1If the customer has a pre-sales qualification process in Wishpond where leads are manually scored or tagged before entering the sales pipeline, we map those unqualified records to Freshsales Lead for routing through a sales process before conversion to Contact on an Account. The split rule is defined during scoping based on the customer's lead status values.
Wishpond
Landing Pages
Freshsales
Note / Attachment
lossyLanding page metadata (page title, URL, creation date, traffic source) migrates as Note records attached to the associated Contact. We do not migrate landing page layouts or visual content as Freshsales has no native landing page builder. The customer's admin rebuilds landing pages in their preferred tool post-migration. We deliver a written inventory of all active landing pages with URLs and traffic data for reference.
Wishpond
Forms
Freshsales
Contact (custom properties)
lossyWishpond form field definitions (field name, field type, associated landing page) export as metadata. Form responses are already embedded in the Lead export as field-value pairs. We map Wishpond custom form fields to Freshsales custom Contact properties, creating the properties in Freshsales before import. Form-to-field mapping is preserved in the inventory document.
Wishpond
Email Campaigns
Freshsales
Contact / Tag
1:1Wishpond email campaign participation (which contact received which campaign email, and campaign-level metrics like open and click status) maps to Freshsales Contacts with Tags for campaign membership. Campaign-level performance data (open rates, click rates) migrates as a separate CSV inventory for the customer's admin to use in Freshsales Reports. Drip sequence logic does not migrate as automation; we document the sequence steps for manual rebuild in Freshsales Workflows or Freshmarketer Journeys.
Wishpond
Workflows (Automations)
Freshsales
Workflow Inventory
lossyWishpond automation workflows export as JSON schema documenting trigger conditions, delay actions, CRM updates, and email sends. We do not migrate workflows as code because Freshsales Workflows use a different trigger-action model. We deliver a written inventory of every active workflow with its structure mapped to Freshsales Workflow equivalents where applicable. The customer's admin rebuilds automations post-migration.
Wishpond
Users (Team Members)
Freshsales
User
1:1Wishpond User accounts (name, email, role) map to Freshsales User records. We resolve by email match. If a Wishpond user has no corresponding Freshsales user, we hold them in a reconciliation queue for the admin to provision before the main record import runs. Wishpond role permissions map to Freshsales role assignments at the admin's direction.
Wishpond
A/B Tests
Freshsales
Campaign Inventory
1:1Wishpond A/B test configurations (test name, variants, traffic split, winner criteria) export as campaign metadata. The variant data and allocation percentages are preserved in an inventory document. Freshsales has no native A/B test object; the customer's admin recreates test logic as Freshsales Workflows or in Freshmarketer if marketing experimentation continues.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Wishpond tier confirmation and export scoping
We confirm the customer's Wishpond plan tier (Starter, Pro, or Growth) to determine the export method: API-based bulk extraction on Pro and Growth, or manual CSV downloads on Starter. We audit the Lead count, custom form field list, active workflow count, email campaign list, and any A/B test configurations. We also identify the customer user accounts that map to the Freshsales destination. This step produces a written export plan and confirms any Starter-tier limitations before migration begins.
Freshsales schema provisioning
We create custom Contact properties in Freshsales to match Wishpond custom form fields before any data import. We configure the Freshsales lead-to-contact conversion field mapping so that Wishpond source fields map to the correct Freshsales Contact, Account, or Deal fields during conversion. We set up Freshsales User roles matching the Wishpond user role hierarchy. All schema work happens in the customer's Freshsales instance with admin credentials provided during scoping.
API-based or manual data extraction
For Pro and Growth tier accounts, we run API-based extraction using batched requests (100 records per batch, 65-second delay between batches) to respect Wishpond's rate limit. For Starter-tier accounts, we extract via manual CSV downloads and merge form field data from the batch export. We export Leads, Users, and campaign participation data as separate CSV files. Landing page metadata and A/B test configurations export as JSON schema. We deliver a raw export inventory to the customer for verification before transformation begins.
Data transformation and reconciliation
We transform the extracted data: company names from Wishpond Lead records are extracted to create Freshsales Accounts first, then Lead records are mapped to Contacts with AccountId lookups resolved. Wishpond custom form fields map to Freshsales custom Contact properties. Campaign participation tags attach to Contacts. We run a reconciliation comparing total Wishpond Lead count to total Freshsales Contact count to verify no records are dropped during transformation. Records with missing required fields (empty email addresses) are flagged and held in a rejection queue.
Sandbox validation and admin sign-off
We run the migration into the customer's Freshsales Sandbox (if available) or a staging run on the production instance using a subset of records. The customer's admin reviews 20-30 randomly sampled migrated records against the Wishpond source, checks that custom properties populated correctly, and confirms that Accounts link properly to Contacts. We address any mapping corrections before the full production migration. This step is required before cutover.
Production migration and cutover
We run the full migration in dependency order: Users (resolved against Freshsales User table), Accounts (from Wishpond company data), Contacts (linked to Accounts), campaign tags, and landing page metadata. We freeze Wishpond write access during cutover and run a final delta pass for any records modified during the migration window. We enable Freshsales as the system of record and deliver the Workflow and A/B test inventory document for the admin to rebuild automations in Freshsales Workflows or Freshmarketer.
