Overview
Migrating from Xapsys CRM to Salesforce is a custom-schema migration, not a template-based cutover. Xapsys's defining architectural choice is its custom entity builder — no two customer instances share the same object and field structure. We extract the live schema from your Xapsys instance, build a per-field map validated against a sample export, then run the full import. We resolve the parent-record dependency chain (Accounts before Contacts, Contacts before Opportunities) to satisfy Salesforce lookup requirements. We preserve Document associations by storing the parent reference and recreating it post-import. Xapsys workflow rules, automated triggers, and email sequences do not export via any documented mechanism — we inventory every active workflow during discovery and deliver a written rebuild spec for your Salesforce admin. Customer Portal configuration is out of scope for data migration and is scoped separately.
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 Xapsys 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.
Xapsys CRM
Company
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account
1:1Xapsys Company records map directly to Salesforce Account. The company name becomes Account Name; registered address maps to BillingAddress fields; industry classification maps to Industry picklist. Account is imported first in the dependency chain because Contacts and Opportunities reference it via AccountId lookup. We use company name as the dedupe key during import to prevent duplicate Account creation.
Xapsys CRM
Contact
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Contact
1:1Xapsys Contact records map to Salesforce Contact with AccountId resolved to the imported Account. We preserve the Company-Contact parent linkage by importing Accounts first, building a name-to-AccountId lookup table, then inserting Contacts with the resolved AccountId. Email, phone, job title, and any classification tags migrate to typed Salesforce fields.
Xapsys CRM
Opportunity
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity
1:1Xapsys Opportunities map to Salesforce Opportunity. StageName maps from the Xapsys pipeline stage string; we configure the destination Sales Process with matching stage values before migration. CloseDate, Amount, and Description migrate directly. OwnerId resolves via email match to the destination Salesforce User. AccountId resolves via the Account lookup table built during the Account import phase.
Xapsys CRM
Pipeline Stage
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Opportunity Stage (Sales Process)
lossyXapsys pipeline stages are user-defined string values. Each Xapsys pipeline maps to a Salesforce Record Type with a corresponding Sales Process that whitelists the relevant stage values. We capture the customer's stage-to-stage map during discovery, configure StageProbability percentages in Salesforce to match Xapsys values, and validate that Closed-Won and Closed-Loss stages land in the correct Salesforce stage category.
Xapsys CRM
Custom Entity (instance-specific)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom Object (__c)
1:1Xapsys custom entities have no fixed schema — every deployment has different objects and fields. We extract the live custom entity schema from your Xapsys instance during discovery, build a field-level map for each custom entity, pre-create the destination Salesforce custom object with matching field types and lookup relationships, then import records. If a custom entity has a lookup to a standard object (Company, Contact, Opportunity), we resolve the parent reference after importing the standard object first.
Xapsys CRM
Document
Salesforce Sales Cloud
ContentVersion + ContentDocumentLink
1:1Xapsys documents are linked to both Companies and Opportunities. We extract document binary content and metadata, upload via ContentVersion to Salesforce's Salesforce Files infrastructure, and recreate the parent linkage via ContentDocumentLink records pointing at the imported Account or Opportunity. Document titles become ContentDocument Title; original filenames are preserved.
Xapsys CRM
Activity (Task, Meeting, Note)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Task, Event, Note
1:1Xapsys activity history attached to Contacts and Opportunities migrates to Salesforce Task (for tasks and calls), Event (for meetings), and Note (for note records). We resolve WhoId (Contact or Lead) and WhatId (Opportunity or Account) at migration time. Activity timestamps are preserved in ActivityDate. Call duration and disposition migrate to custom Task fields if available in the Xapsys export.
Xapsys CRM
Tag / Classification
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Custom field (Picklist) or Multi-Select Picklist
lossyXapsys classification tags on records map to Salesforce custom picklist or multi-select picklist fields on the relevant object. We extract tag names and values during discovery, create the equivalent Salesforce field type, and map tag values during import. Tags with no direct Salesforce equivalent are flagged for the customer's admin to decide on a post-migration tagging strategy.
Xapsys CRM
Customer Portal Settings
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Experience Cloud (separate scope)
1:1Xapsys exposes a self-service B2B portal for clients to re-order, check credit balance, and track orders. Portal configuration and content do not migrate directly via data export. We scope portal settings separately and advise the customer to configure Salesforce Experience Cloud (Community Cloud) or a B2B Commerce Cloud portal as the replacement, using the migrated Account and Contact records as the underlying data foundation.
Xapsys CRM
Workflow Rule
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Salesforce Flow (rebuild required)
1:1Xapsys workflow rules, automated triggers, stage-change actions, and email sequences are not exposed via any documented export endpoint. We catalog every active workflow during discovery with its trigger, conditions, and actions, and deliver a written specification for each one recommending an equivalent Salesforce Flow configuration. The customer's Salesforce admin or a certified partner rebuilds the revenue-critical workflows post-migration.
Xapsys CRM
Owner
Salesforce Sales Cloud
User
1:1Xapsys Owner records (sales reps assigned to records) map to Salesforce User by email match. We extract all distinct owners referenced on Companies, Contacts, Opportunities, and custom entity records and match by email against the destination Salesforce org. Owners without a matching Salesforce User are held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import proceeds.
Xapsys CRM
Sage/Xero Integration Record (dual-record artifact)
Salesforce Sales Cloud
Account or custom field (reconciliation required)
lossyXapsys is designed to live alongside Sage or Xero, with Companies and Contacts often created or updated in the ERP first and synced to Xapsys. During migration planning, we identify which system held the authoritative record for each object. Records originating in the ERP are flagged with an integration_source__c custom field set to 'ERP' to help the customer decide which system becomes the system of record post-migration and avoid duplicate Account or Contact creation.

Migration approach
Schema discovery and field-level mapping
We connect to the Xapsys SQL-backed cloud instance using a read-only database credential or probe the REST API with a test credential to extract the live object and field schema. We compare the discovered schema against the Salesforce standard object model, identify custom entities requiring Salesforce custom object pre-creation, and build a per-field map for every object including data type transformation (date formats, picklist values, lookup references). We validate the field map against a sample export of fifty to one hundred records before committing to full migration. This phase produces a written migration schema document signed off by the customer.
Salesforce destination schema configuration
We pre-create the Salesforce destination schema based on the discovered Xapsys schema. This includes custom objects (with __c API names matched to Xapsys custom entity names), custom fields (with type-mapped Salesforce field types), Record Types and Sales Processes for pipeline stage configuration, and any classification tag fields as picklist or multi-select picklist. Schema is deployed into a Salesforce Sandbox org first for validation. We coordinate with the customer's Salesforce admin to grant migration permissions and temporarily adjust validation rules before the migration run.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the Salesforce Sandbox using production-like data volume. The customer's RevOps lead reconciles record counts (Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, custom object records), spot-checks twenty-five to fifty random records against the Xapsys source, and validates that Documents are linked to the correct parent Account or Opportunity. Any field mapping corrections, missing custom fields, or validation rule conflicts surface here and are resolved before production migration begins.
Owner reconciliation and User provisioning
We extract every distinct Xapsys Owner referenced on Company, Contact, Opportunity, and custom entity records and match by email against the destination Salesforce org's User table. Owners without a matching Salesforce User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import proceeds. OwnerId references are required on most standard objects in Salesforce, so this step gates the full production migration.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Accounts (from Xapsys Companies), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Opportunities (with AccountId, OwnerId, and RecordTypeId resolved), custom object records (with parent lookups resolved), Documents (uploaded as ContentVersion with ContentDocumentLink to parent), and activity history (Tasks, Events, Notes via Bulk API 2.0 with WhoId and WhatId resolution). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use the Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 with batch chunking and exponential backoff on API limit responses for activity records.
Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Xapsys 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 Workflow and automation inventory document to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the sales team. We do not rebuild Xapsys Workflows as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's admin team or a Salesforce implementation partner using the delivered automation specification.
