What Is CRM Data Mapping?

Data mapping is the process of defining how data from your source CRM will be structured in your target CRM. It includes mapping objects, fields, relationships, picklist values, and data transformation rules. A comprehensive mapping document is essential for accurate migration.

Mapping Structure

Object Mapping

Map source objects to target objects:

Relationship Mapping

Document how relationships between objects will be maintained:

  • Contact → Account (lookup relationship)
  • Opportunity → Contact (lookup relationship)
  • Opportunity → Account (lookup relationship)
  • Activity → Related Record (polymorphic relationship)

Data Transformation Rules

Document rules for data transformation:

  • Phone numbers: Remove non-numeric characters, add country code
  • Addresses: Split full address into street, city, state, zip
  • Dates: Convert from MM/DD/YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD
  • Currency: Convert values to base currency
  • Text fields: Trim whitespace, fix capitalization

Validation Rules

Document validation requirements:

  • Required fields must not be null
  • Email fields must match email format
  • Phone fields must be valid format
