Overview
APRO CRM targets real estate firms with property-presentation templates, automatched listing-to-client algorithms, consolidated property databases per agent profile, and built-in IP telephony for website capture. Its data model centers on contacts linked to properties, owners, and agents, with custom automation algorithms that govern business-process sequencing. Switching to Nutshell trades APRO's vertical real-estate tooling for a general-purpose CRM with straightforward per-seat pricing, live support, and a JSON-RPC API that supports import via Nutshell's Import2 partner or direct API calls. FlitStack AI migrates APRO contacts, companies, deals, activities (calls, emails, notes), and APRO custom properties into Nutshell's standard and custom fields. The migration does not carry APRO automation algorithms, property-matching logic, IP telephony call logs that live in APRO's telephony layer, or APRO website-integration data — those require manual rebuild or API reconnection to Nutshell's integration ecosystem. We sequence the load so company records land before contacts (resolving the CompanyId lookup), and deal records land after contacts (enabling Nutshell's person-to-deal association model). A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any APRO records modified during cutover before we hand off the final reconciliation report.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a APRO CRM object lands in Nutshell, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
APRO CRM
Contact / Person
Nutshell
Person
1:1APRO contacts map directly to Nutshell People records. Nutshell uses 'People' in the UI while the API uses 'Contact' — we map to the API entity type. APRO contact properties including job title, phone, email, and address fields migrate as Nutshell standard or custom Person fields.
APRO CRM
Company / Owner Profile
Nutshell
Company
1:1APRO company records (including property-owner profiles) map to Nutshell Company records. The API entity name is 'Account' while the UI shows 'Companies' — we map to the API entity. Owner profiles from APRO that represent individual property owners become Nutshell Companies or optionally People records based on whether the owner has deals associated.
APRO CRM
Property / Listing
Nutshell
Company (custom fields)
1:1APRO properties and listings have no direct Nutshell equivalent. We migrate property records as Nutshell Companies with a property-type custom field and address data in Company address fields. Listing-specific data (price, property type, status) becomes custom fields on the Company record. Automatch rules are documented for manual rebuild in Nutshell.
APRO CRM
Deal / Opportunity
Nutshell
Deal
1:1APRO deals map to Nutshell Deals. Nutshell Deals link to one or more People (contacts) and optionally to a Company (account). Deal amount, stage, and expected-close date map directly. APRO deal-stage names map to Nutshell pipeline stage values via value-mapping.
APRO CRM
Pipeline
Nutshell
Pipeline
1:1APRO pipelines map to Nutshell pipelines on a one-to-one basis. Each APRO pipeline becomes a separate Nutshell pipeline with identical stage structures. Stage names and probabilities transfer via value-by-value mapping to preserve deal-scoring logic. Nutshell's pipeline configuration is established in the target environment before data migration begins, ensuring pipeline structures are ready to receive records.
APRO CRM
Activity (Call / Email / Note)
Nutshell
Activity (Call / Email / Note)
1:1APRO call logs, emails, and notes map to Nutshell Activities. Nutshell stores activities on the Person record with type, subject, body, and timestamps. APRO IP telephony call records that live in APRO's telephony layer are migrated as Call activities if the data is accessible via export. Website chat transcripts migrate as Note activities.
APRO CRM
Custom Property (Agent Profile)
Nutshell
Person (custom fields)
1:1APRO agent profile fields (agent ID, team assignment, automatch preferences) have no Nutshell standard equivalent. We create custom fields on Nutshell Person records: Agent_ID__c, Team_Assignment__c, and Automatch_Preferences__c as text fields. These fields preserve the source data for reference and provide context for rebuilding automatch logic in Nutshell's workflow builder or saved filters.
APRO CRM
Custom Property (Property Presentation Template)
Nutshell
Company (custom fields)
1:1APRO property presentation template references migrate as a custom field on the Company record. Template URL or identifier stored in Presentation_Template__c for reference and reconnection. The actual template files require separate export from APRO and re-hosting in Nutshell's file management system, with the file reference URL captured in the custom field.
APRO CRM
Attachment / File
Nutshell
File
1:1APRO attachments and files (property images, documents, contracts) are exported and re-uploaded to Nutshell's file storage. File size limits apply (Nutshell default 50MB per file). Inline images in notes are downloaded and re-hosted. Files are associated to the parent record (Person or Company) after upload.
APRO CRM
Owner / User
Nutshell
User
1:1APRO owner IDs resolve to Nutshell Users by email address match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either creates Nutshell user accounts first or assigns records to a fallback owner. Nutshell user records are not migrated; only the OwnerId lookup on migrated records is updated.
APRO CRM
Website Integration / Visitor Data
Nutshell
No equivalent
1:1APRO website visitor statistics, live chat transcripts from APRO's embedded chat, and call-from-website data live in APRO's integration layer and do not migrate. We document the integration setup for rebuilding in Nutshell using Nutshell's native web forms, live chat integration, or third-party visitor intelligence tools.
APRO CRM
Custom Automation Algorithm
Nutshell
No equivalent
1:1APRO custom automation algorithms (automatched listing rules, business-process sequencing) do not have a Nutshell equivalent and cannot be migrated. We export the algorithm definitions as documentation so your team can rebuild equivalent logic in Nutshell's workflow builder or sequences (Pro plan).

Migration approach
Extract APRO data via available export mechanisms
FlitStack AI connects to APRO CRM using available export interfaces — typically CSV export or API-based extraction for contacts, companies, deals, activities, and custom properties. We run a pre-extraction audit to identify which APRO data layers are accessible (standard records vs. telephony layer vs. website integration data) and document any limitations before extraction begins. The audit output is a data inventory showing record counts per object, custom property definitions, and activity volumes.
Create Nutshell custom fields and pipelines
Before any data lands in Nutshell, we create the custom fields required for APRO property data, agent profiles, and source-system tracking IDs. This includes Property_Type__c, Listing_Price__c, Listing_Status__c, Presentation_Template__c on Company; Agent_ID__c, Team_Assignment__c, Automatch_Preferences__c on Person; and Source_System_ID__c on all record types. Nutshell pipelines are also configured at this stage — each APRO pipeline becomes a separate Nutshell pipeline with stage values mapped value-by-value.
Resolve owner and user mappings
APRO owner IDs are resolved to Nutshell Users by email address match. We generate a pre-migration owner resolution report listing every APRO owner and whether a matching Nutshell user exists. Unmatched owners are flagged — your team creates Nutshell user accounts for them before the migration run, or records are assigned to a designated fallback owner. No record migrates without a resolved Nutshell owner.
Sequence migration: Companies → People → Deals → Activities
Nutshell requires Companies to exist before People (via the accountId relationship), and People to exist before Deals (for person-deal associations). We sequence the load in dependency order: Companies first, then People, then Deals, then Activities. Property and listing data loads as part of the Company phase using the custom fields created in Step 2. Activities load last, with parent-record lookups resolved to already-migrated People and Companies.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
We execute a representative sample migration using 100–500 records that span the full data spectrum — contacts across multiple APRO sources, company records including property-owner profiles, deals at various pipeline stages, activity history, and at least one property record with custom fields. The field-level diff output compares each source field against its Nutshell destination value, enabling you to verify custom-field placement, stage mapping accuracy, and owner resolution correctness before we proceed to the full load. You review the sample in Nutshell, confirm the mappings meet expectations, and authorize the full migration run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback
The full migration runs against Nutshell's API with rate-limit handling. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any APRO records created or modified during the cutover period after the initial load. An audit log records every operation. If reconciliation fails, one-click rollback reverts Nutshell to its pre-migration state. We deliver a final reconciliation report showing record counts, mapping summaries, and any records that could not be migrated with reason codes.
