Overview
Moving from Ivinex to Salesforce Service Cloud is a structural migration that begins with Ivinex's per-account custom field discovery before any data is touched. Ivinex organizes data into Tabs with unlimited user-defined fields that have no published global schema, so we call GetFields for every Tab during scoping to capture the live field list including field type, label, and dropdown options. Contacts and Organizations map to Salesforce Contacts and Accounts; Ivinex Tickets map to Salesforce Cases with Status and Priority remapped to the destination picklist. Activity history (call logs, emails, notes attached to records) migrates via Bulk API 2.0 with parent-record lookup resolution. Ivinex Workflows, Saved Views, and group-based permissions do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of each for the customer's admin to rebuild in Salesforce Flow, Lightning Record Pages, and Permission Sets. Salesforce's Set Audit Fields permission and Modify All Data profile setting must be enabled before historical CreatedDate, LastModifiedDate, and OwnerId values write into the org.
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 Ivinex object lands in Salesforce Service Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Ivinex
Contact
Salesforce Service Cloud
Contact
1:1Ivinex Contact records map directly to Salesforce Contact. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate cleanly. Custom fields on the Contact Tab are captured by calling GetFields for that Tab first, then mapped to Salesforce custom fields that we pre-create with matching field types. OwnerId resolves by matching Ivinex created_by or assigned_user to Salesforce User by email. If the Ivinex Contact has a LinkRecord relationship to an Organization, we resolve the AccountId on Contact at migration time.
Ivinex
Organization
Salesforce Service Cloud
Account
1:1Ivinex Organization records map to Salesforce Account. Standard fields (company name, domain, address) migrate directly. We resolve Ivinex Organization-to-Contact LinkRecords as Account-to-Contact relationships by inserting Accounts first, then resolving AccountId on each related Contact during the Contact import phase. Custom fields on the Organization Tab are discovered via GetFields and mapped to pre-created Salesforce custom fields on Account.
Ivinex
Ticket
Salesforce Service Cloud
Case
1:1Ivinex Ticket records map to Salesforce Case. The Ivinex ticket status, priority, and assignee fields map to Salesforce Case Status, Priority, and OwnerId respectively. We remap Ivinex status values to Salesforce Status picklist values configured in the destination org. Ivinex's custom fields on the Ticket Tab migrate to Case custom fields. If Ivinex Tickets are linked to Contacts via relationship records, we resolve the ContactId on Case at migration time using the same lookup resolution pass.
Ivinex
Task
Salesforce Service Cloud
Task
1:1Ivinex Task records (standalone tasks not tied to a Ticket) map to Salesforce Task. Due dates, assignees, and completion status migrate directly. Ivinex Task custom fields migrate to Salesforce Task custom fields. Owner resolution uses the same email-match strategy as Contacts. Tasks that are related to Ivinex Tickets resolve their WhatId to the migrated Case ID during the parent-record resolution pass.
Ivinex
Activities
Salesforce Service Cloud
Task and Event
1:1Ivinex Activity records (call logs, emails, notes attached to Contacts or Organizations) migrate to Salesforce Task or Event depending on activity type. Call engagements map to Task with TaskSubtype=Call; meeting-type activities map to Event; general notes map to Salesforce Note or ContentNote. We export via Ivinex GetAllRelatedItems to capture the full activity timeline per record, then resolve WhoId (Contact or Lead) and WhatId (Case, Account) at migration time before Bulk API insert.
Ivinex
User
Salesforce Service Cloud
User
1:1Ivinex User accounts (name, email, role, active/inactive) export so that OwnerId references on all migrating records can be remapped. We match Ivinex users to Salesforce Users by email. Any Ivinex user without a matching Salesforce User is placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import. Active/inactive status maps to Salesforce User.IsActive.
Ivinex
Groups
Salesforce Service Cloud
Permission Sets
lossyIvinex Groups control API permissions and record access and have no direct Salesforce equivalent. We export group membership and access scope as structured data. The customer's Salesforce admin rebuilds access controls using Profiles (base permissions) and Permission Sets (granular feature grants) based on the exported group structure. Ivinex field-level visibility within a Group maps to Salesforce field-level security settings on the Profile.
Ivinex
Attachments
Salesforce Service Cloud
ContentDocument (ContentVersion + ContentDocumentLink)
1:1Ivinex attachment metadata is extracted during the data pull including download URLs. Binary file content requires a separate download pass. We upload files via Salesforce ContentVersion API and link to the parent record (Contact, Account, Case) via ContentDocumentLink. Files exceeding Salesforce's 25MB per ContentVersion limit are flagged for manual post-migration transfer. Attachment URL validity may expire; we log any failed downloads for retrieval during the post-ETL file transfer phase.
Ivinex
Custom Fields (all Tabs)
Salesforce Service Cloud
Custom Fields (Account, Contact, Case, Task)
1:1Every Ivinex Tab has a unique set of custom fields that must be discovered per-account via GetFields before data extraction begins. We capture field label, field type (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox, user-link), and any dropdown options. Custom fields are pre-created in Salesforce on the corresponding standard object (Account, Contact, Case, Task) before migration, with type mapping from Ivinex field type to Salesforce field type. Multi-select picklists in Ivinex map to Salesforce multi-select picklists; user-link fields map to Salesforce Lookup(User) or custom fields as appropriate.
Ivinex
Workflows
Salesforce Service Cloud
Salesforce Flow (documented, not migrated)
lossyIvinex Workflows are automation rules defined in the process automation module. They are exported as structured JSON capturing trigger conditions, actions, delays, and branching logic. Salesforce Flow is a different automation model with different action types, trigger modes, and limits, and there is no automated conversion path. We deliver a written inventory of every active Ivinex Workflow with its trigger, conditions, and actions and a recommended Salesforce Flow equivalent. The customer's admin or a Salesforce partner rebuilds them post-migration.
Ivinex
Views
Salesforce Service Cloud
Lightning Record Page Filters (documented, not migrated)
lossyIvinex Saved Views define which fields and filters are shown per Tab. These are user interface preferences rather than data. We preserve view names, field lists, and filter criteria as structured documentation. The customer's admin rebuilds Lightning Record Page filters and List Views in Salesforce using the exported view definitions as a reference.

Migration approach
Discovery and Ivinex schema enumeration
We audit the Ivinex account across all Tabs by calling GetFields for each Tab to capture the live custom field schema including field label, field type, and any dropdown options. We enumerate Contacts, Organizations, Tickets, Tasks, Activities, Users, and Groups and count record volumes per object. We confirm API user permissions by running a pre-flight GetRecords call against each Tab. We pair this with a Salesforce Service Cloud edition review: Starter ($25/user) covers basic case management; Professional ($100/user) adds email-to-case, macro support, and Service Cloud console; Enterprise ($175/user) adds Salesforce Knowledge, macros, and Service Cloud Einstein AI. The discovery output is a written migration scope document listing all Ivinex Tabs, discovered custom fields, record volumes, and a Salesforce edition recommendation.
Destination schema provisioning
We pre-create the Salesforce destination schema in a Sandbox org before any data is loaded. This includes: Salesforce custom fields on Account, Contact, Case, and Task matching each Ivinex custom field discovered during enumeration, with Salesforce field types mapped from Ivinex field types; Case Record Types and Status values remapped from Ivinex Ticket statuses; Permission Sets matching the exported Ivinex group structure for the admin to configure post-migration. Schema is deployed via Salesforce metadata API or change set. We enable Set Audit Fields upon Record Creation and Update Records with Inactive Owners during this phase and grant the migration user Modify All Data and Bulk API permissions.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy) using production-like record volumes. The customer's Service Cloud admin reconciles record counts (Cases in, Contacts in, Accounts in, Tasks in, Activities in) against the Ivinex source, spot-checks 25-50 random records field-by-field, and signs off the schema and mapping before production migration begins. Any field-level mapping corrections, picklist value additions, or custom field type adjustments happen in this phase. Ivinex Workflow and Saved View documentation is delivered alongside the sandbox migration report.
User provisioning and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct Ivinex User referenced as an owner or assignee on Tickets, Tasks, and Activity 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 missing Users (active or inactive matching the Ivinex source status). Owner resolution cannot proceed past this step because OwnerId is a required reference on Case and Task inserts. We also deliver the Group-to-Permission-Set mapping document during this step so the admin can begin the access reconstruction work.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (manual provisioning, validated), Accounts (from Ivinex Organizations), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Cases (with ContactId and OwnerId resolved, Status and Priority remapped), Tasks (standalone), Activity history (Tasks, Events, Notes via Bulk API 2.0 in sub-10,000 record batches with parent-record resolution before each batch). Attachments migrate as a final phase using ContentVersion and ContentDocumentLink API. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We disable Salesforce workflow rules before migration to prevent automated email sends during data load.
Cutover, delta sync, and handoff
We freeze Ivinex writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce Service Cloud as the system of record. We deliver the Ivinex Workflow inventory document and the Group-to-Permission-Set mapping document to the customer's admin team with recommended Salesforce equivalents for each workflow trigger. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the service team. We do not rebuild Ivinex Workflows as Salesforce Flow or reconstruct Ivinex groups as Salesforce Profiles inside the migration scope; those are separate admin rebuilds or partner engagements.
