What gets migrated
Thrive object support
Object-by-object support for Thrive migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Projects
Fully supportedProjects are standard objects in Thrive operational and forecasting variants. We map them 1:1 and preserve associated metadata, team assignments, and historical update records during migration.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks are fully supported and map directly. We preserve task statuses, assignees, due dates, and any custom fields attached to task records in the source system.
Users and Teams
Fully supportedUser records and team structures are migrated with role and permission mappings preserved. We flag any role naming differences between source and destination.
Integrations
Mapping requiredIntegration connections to external platforms such as Power BI, accounting systems, and POS platforms require re-establishment during migration. We document all active integration points so they can be reconfigured post-migration.
Forecasting Records
Mapping requiredWhere customers use Thrive's forecasting module, historical forecast data and cadence records may require field-level mapping to the destination platform's equivalent structure.
Custom Objects
Mapping requiredAny custom objects configured in Thrive require field-level review to map to destination equivalents. We inspect the schema during the discovery phase and flag any unsupported field types.
Historical Activity Logs
Mapping requiredActivity logs and audit trails are migrated as read-only records where the destination supports historical data import, preserving operational history for compliance and reporting.
SCORM Packages and Learning Content
Mapping requiredWhere Thrive Learning variants are in use, SCORM packages and course metadata require packaging and re-upload to the destination LMS, as direct schema mapping is not supported.
