Overview
Kapture CX and Salesforce Service Cloud take different structural approaches to customer service data. Kapture CX uses Tickets and Conversations as the core record pair, routing by queue and folder hierarchy. Salesforce Service Cloud uses Cases with EmailMessage for threaded history, Skills-based routing via Omni-Channel, and a separate Asset and Entitlement object model for SLA management. Migrating from Kapture CX to Service Cloud requires remapping the ticket-to-case schema, resolving agent-to-user lookups against the destination org, and rebuilding folder-and-queue hierarchies as Salesforce Groups and Queues. We do not migrate Kapture CX automations, Auto-Trigger rules, or GenAI Knowledge Base AI-tuning as code; we deliver a written inventory for your admin to rebuild. Knowledge Base articles migrate as Salesforce Knowledge articles but require re-categorization against the destination's data category structure. Reports and dashboards do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Service Cloud Reports or Tableau CRM.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Kapture CX 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.
Kapture CX
Ticket
Salesforce Service Cloud
Case
1:1Kapture CX Tickets migrate directly to Salesforce Cases. The ticket ID becomes the Case CaseNumber or a custom field kapture_ticket_id__c for audit traceability. Ticket status (Open, Pending, Resolved, Closed) maps to Salesforce Case Status values. Priority maps to Case Priority. Custom ticket fields (dropdowns, checkboxes, date fields, numeric fields) require pre-creation as Case custom fields with matching API names before migration. Source channel (email, chat, WhatsApp, voice) maps to Salesforce's Origin field or a custom channel field.
Kapture CX
Conversation and Thread
Salesforce Service Cloud
EmailMessage
1:1Each Kapture CX Conversation entry under a ticket becomes a Salesforce EmailMessage record. Public replies map to EmailMessage with direction=Incoming or Outgoing and IsExternallyVisible=true. Internal notes map to EmailMessage with IsExternallyVisible=false or to CaseComment records. We preserve the thread ordering by setting EmailMessage.ActivityDate to the original Kapture CX timestamp. Attachments on conversation entries migrate as ContentDocumentLink records linked to the EmailMessage.
Kapture CX
Contact
Salesforce Service Cloud
Contact
1:1Kapture CX Contacts map to Salesforce Contacts. Email, phone, name, company, and address fields migrate 1:1. We deduplicate against the destination using email as the primary key. Custom contact properties migrate as Salesforce Contact custom fields pre-created during schema design. Where Kapture CX stores an Organization record linked to the Contact, we map that to a Salesforce Account and link the Contact via the AccountId lookup before Contact insert.
Kapture CX
Organization
Salesforce Service Cloud
Account
1:1Kapture CX Organizations (company-level records linked to contacts) map to Salesforce Accounts. Organization name becomes Account Name. Industry and address fields map to the matching Account fields. Account is created before Contact import so that AccountId lookup is satisfied at insert time. Where the source uses a flat contact model without organizations, we create a placeholder Account named after the Contact's company field.
Kapture CX
Agent
Salesforce Service Cloud
User
1:1Kapture CX Agent records (name, email, role, team membership) map to Salesforce User records. Role names (Admin, Supervisor, Agent) do not map directly to Salesforce profile and permission set names, so we map permissions at the feature level during scoping. We resolve agents by email match against the destination org's User table. Agents without matching Users enter a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import continues.
Kapture CX
Team
Salesforce Service Cloud
Group
lossyKapture CX Teams group agents and route tickets. Team structure migrates as a Salesforce Group (or Queue if the team is used for case assignment routing). We create the Group during schema setup, then map ticket queue assignments to the corresponding GroupId or QueueId during migration. Where the destination uses Omni-Channel with Skills-based routing, we map team membership to Skills and create Presence Configuration records separately during Salesforce configuration.
Kapture CX
Folder and Queue
Salesforce Service Cloud
Queue and Folder
lossyKapture CX Folder and Queue hierarchy defines ticket organization and routing. We map folders to Salesforce Queues with a folder-tree structure translated into a queue naming convention (e.g., Folder_Subfolder format). Queues that route to specific agent teams require both the Group and the Queue to be created and linked. Folder permissions (internal vs. external visibility) map to Salesforce sharing rules post-migration.
Kapture CX
Knowledge Base Article
Salesforce Service Cloud
Knowledge Article
1:1Kapture CX Knowledge Base Articles migrate to Salesforce Knowledge as KnowledgeArticleVersion records. Article body text migrates as the Article's Summary and Body fields in HTML or Lightning Flow rich-text format. Categories map to Salesforce's data category structure, which must be designed and created in the destination org before import. Internal/external visibility flags map to Salesforce Knowledge article publishing statuses (Draft, Published, Archived). Multi-language articles require Language locale configuration in Salesforce Knowledge.
Kapture CX
Canned Response
Salesforce Service Cloud
Email Template or Quick Text
1:1Canned Responses migrate to Salesforce Email Templates (if scoped to email) or Quick Text records (if used inline during agent conversations). The shortcut trigger maps to the Quick Text Name field. Folder assignment maps to the Salesforce Email Template folder hierarchy. Language and token-variable handling requires normalization because Kapture CX token formats (e.g., {{customer.name}}) differ from Salesforce merge field formats ({{!Contact.Name}}). We document the token conversion map during scoping.
Kapture CX
SLA Policy
Salesforce Service Cloud
Entitlement Process
lossyKapture CX SLA Policies define First Response Time and Resolution Time targets per priority level or queue. Salesforce uses Entitlements and Entitlement Processes to model SLA commitments. We map Kapture CX priority levels (Urgent, High, Medium, Low) to Salesforce BusinessHours and Entitlement Process milestones. Where the destination org does not use full Entitlement management, we create custom SLA date fields on Case (FirstResponseDate, ResolutionDate) and document the Flow logic to calculate and enforce SLA milestones post-migration.
Kapture CX
Tag
Salesforce Service Cloud
Case Tag or Custom Picklist
lossyKapture CX Tags are flat labels applied to tickets. We migrate tag names 1:1. If the destination Salesforce org uses Case Tags, we migrate them as TopicAssignment records. If Case Tags are not enabled, we create a multi-select picklist custom field on Case (e.g., kapture_tags__c) and map tag names to the picklist values. The customer chooses tag strategy during scoping.
Kapture CX
Attachment
Salesforce Service Cloud
ContentDocument and ContentVersion
1:1File attachments stored against Kapture CX tickets migrate to Salesforce as ContentDocument and ContentVersion records. Files are associated with the Case via ContentDocumentLink. We respect Salesforce's 25 MB per file size limit for attachments. Files exceeding the limit are flagged during scoping for alternative handling (external storage with a link stored in a custom field). Inline images within conversation messages migrate separately and are linked to the corresponding EmailMessage.

Migration approach
Discovery and scope audit
We audit the source Kapture CX instance across plan tier (Essential, Professional, Enterprise), active agent count, ticket volume, conversation message count, custom ticket field inventory, queue and folder hierarchy depth, Knowledge Base article count and language coverage, active SLA policies, and Canned Response folders. We also extract Auto-Trigger, Contextual SOP, and automation rule JSON for the inventory deliverable. The discovery output is a written migration scope document covering record counts per object, dependency graph, and a Service Cloud edition recommendation (Professional at $20/user for basic cases, Performance at $75/user for Omni-Channel, Enterprise at $300/user for Entitlements and Full CRM).
Schema design and Salesforce configuration
We design the destination Service Cloud schema in a Salesforce Sandbox. This includes pre-creating custom fields on Case matching every Kapture CX custom ticket field (with type-matched Salesforce field types), designing the Queue and Group hierarchy matching the Kapture CX folder-tree, provisioning Salesforce Knowledge data categories and article structure, configuring Omni-Channel Skills and Presence Configurations if the customer licenses Omni-Channel, and mapping SLA Policies to Entitlement Processes or custom SLA date fields on Case. Schema is deployed via Salesforce Metadata API or Change Set to the Sandbox first for validation against real data.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a Salesforce Sandbox (Full Copy or Partial Copy depending on data volume) using production-equivalent record counts. The customer's Service Cloud admin reconciles record counts (Cases in, Contacts in, Accounts in, EmailMessages in, Knowledge Articles in), spot-checks 25-50 random cases against the Kapture CX source for field-level accuracy, and reviews the automation inventory document. Sign-off on the Sandbox migration unlocks production migration. Any schema corrections, field type adjustments, or queue mapping corrections happen here, not in production.
Agent-to-User reconciliation and provisioning
We extract every distinct Kapture CX Agent referenced on Tickets, SLA Policies, Canned Responses, and Queue assignments and match by email against the Salesforce destination org's User table. Agents without matching Users enter a reconciliation queue. The customer's Salesforce admin provisions any missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original Kapture CX agent is still employed and needs access). Skill assignments from Kapture CX agent profiles map to Omni-Channel Skills that we document for the admin to assign in Salesforce after User provisioning.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency sequence: Accounts (from Kapture CX Organizations), Contacts (with AccountId resolved), Cases (with custom fields populated and queue assignments mapped to destination Groups or Queues), EmailMessage records for conversation threads (linked to Cases with thread ordering preserved by ActivityDate), Knowledge Base Articles (with Salesforce Knowledge data category assignment), Canned Responses (as Email Templates or Quick Text), SLA Policy mapping (as Entitlement Process milestones or custom date fields), then attachments via ContentVersion and ContentDocumentLink. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We use Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 for large EmailMessage batches with exponential backoff on rate limit responses.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze writes to Kapture CX during cutover, run a final delta migration of records modified during the migration window, then enable Salesforce Service Cloud as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document listing every Auto-Trigger and Contextual SOP with trigger conditions, action definitions, and recommended Salesforce Flow equivalents. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Kapture CX automations as Salesforce Flow inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task. Reports and dashboards do not migrate and must be rebuilt in Service Cloud Reports or Tableau CRM using the migrated Case and Contact data.
