      Explanation of the options for data migration from Salesforce CRM using Trujay service or Salesforce 

      Tactical Rundown:

      When your existing Salesforce edition doesn't have API access, the optimal solution to switch to another CRM in an automated way is to transfer data with the help of CSV files.

      You can do Salesforce backup files in two ways:

      1. Use Trujay service.

      It allows you to export different modules or all the modules with saved relations between records. That means if you decide to transfer your data from CSV to another platform, it will have the same connections as it had in your Salesforce account.

      2. Use the option Salesforce offers.

      First of all, you have to backup your current CRM data:

      1. Go to your Salesforce admin panel and choose 'Setup'.
      Then go to the left side of the page layout, press ‘Data Management’ and ‘Data Export’

      Salesforce_Data_export


      2. Push the "Export now" button:

      Salesforce_data_export_now


      3. Now you may export your Salesforce data. In order to do that, please do the following:
      - Put a mark on "Include all data".
      - Make sure you’ve marked the switched fields.
      - Press "Start export":

      salesforce_monthly_export

       

      Next, to proceed with the CRM migration, upload your CSV files into your Dropbox account.

      --- Register an account or log in to your Dropbox and click the "Upload Files" button to import your Salesforce backup:

      dropbox_upload

       

      After that, you should go back to the migration wizard  and download your CSV files from Dropbox

      Self-service_csv

       

      Now run your CSV automatic migration.
