Rename exported Salesforce Enterprise column headers to suggested Freshsales (Freshworks) column names, for reporting or manual data preparation. Not an official Freshsales (Freshworks) import format. It runs in your browser; only headers change.
Renamed headers do not make a file import-ready. Compare the result with Freshsales (Freshworks)'s import template and create any custom fields there first. For contact lists, check opt-out and unsubscribe status separately before importing.

When moving to Freshsales (Freshworks) makes sense

- Your team can finish the CSV import and onboarding within the switching budget you entered.
- You have checked that Freshsales (Freshworks)'s plan covers the integrations and compliance rules you need.
When staying on Salesforce Enterprise is the better call

- You are inside a multi-year Salesforce Enterprise contract with early-termination fees.
- Your workflow relies on add-ons or features Freshsales (Freshworks) does not support yet.
