ShedBoxAI for Data Migration

Simplify data migrations with ShedBoxAI. Extract from old systems, transform to new formats, and validate results.

Data Migration Use Cases​

CRM Migration​

Migrate from one CRM to another:

data_sources:
old_crm:
type: csv
path: "old_crm_export.csv"

processing:
format_conversion:
old_crm:
# Map old fields to new schema
rename_fields:
customer_name: "contact_name"
phone_number: "phone"
email_addr: "email"
date_fields: ["created_date"]
date_format: "%Y-%m-%d"

output:
type: file
path: "new_crm_import.json"
format: json

Database Migration​

Transform data between database schemas:

data_sources:
legacy_db:
type: csv
path: "legacy_export.csv"

processing:
format_conversion:
legacy_db:
# Handle data type conversions
number_fields: ["amount", "quantity"]

contextual_filtering:
legacy_db:
- field: "status"
condition: "!=null"
new_name: "valid_records"

output:
type: file
path: "new_schema.json"
format: json

Migration Validation​

Validate migration completeness:

data_sources:
source:
type: csv
path: "original_data.csv"

target:
type: csv
path: "migrated_data.csv"

processing:
content_summarization:
source:
method: "statistical"
fields: ["amount"]
summarize: ["count", "sum"]

content_summarization:
target:
method: "statistical"
fields: ["amount"]
summarize: ["count", "sum"]

ai_interface:
model:
type: rest
url: "https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages"
method: POST
headers:
x-api-key: "${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}"
Content-Type: "application/json"
options:
model: "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"

prompts:
validate:
system: "You are a data migration validation expert."
user_template: |
Validate this migration by comparing source and target:

Source summary:
- Records: {{ source | length }}

Target summary:
- Records: {{ target | length }}

Check for: missing records, data mismatches, transformation errors.

output:
type: file
path: "migration_validation.md"
format: json
