Hi all, I’m wondering if there is any third-party service that can assist in moving an entire CRM database from Salesforce into Airtable. I don’t think it’s as simple as a basic CSV import, as the database has a lot of records linked across tables as well as a lot of files associated with individual records. Is there any service that exists for this? Or is this something that would need to be done manually?

I saw this was answered elsewhere! BUT I was wondering why you were considering going from salesforce into Airtable? Or are you keeping salesforce, and just using Airtable for something else? Thank you!

We aren’t using Salesforce as a CRM, only as a database, and we don’t need all that Salesforce offers. Airtable also is more affordable and user friendly.
