Migrate from Aritic Sales CRM to Mailchimp

Aritic Contact records map 1:1 to Mailchimp Contacts in your primary Audience. We use email address as the dedupe key. First name, last name, phone, lifecycle stage, and any standard properties migrate to Mailchimp merge field equivalents. Any Aritic Contact with an empty email address is flagged during scoping and excluded from the Audience import because Mailchimp requires a valid email for contact records. We run email verification passes before import to catch hard bounces that would damage Mailchimp sender reputation.

Aritic Tags applied to Contacts export as a comma-separated list and map directly to Mailchimp Tags. Tag names with spaces or special characters are normalized to Mailchimp's tag format. Segmentation rules built in Aritic do not export as logic; we deliver a tag-inventory sheet so your admin can reconstruct segments in Mailchimp's Segments builder. Tags that correspond to deal stage or owner assignment are noted separately because Mailchimp has no equivalent object.

Aritic Company records do not have a native Mailchimp equivalent because Mailchimp has no Account or Company object. We flatten Company name, industry, size, address, and website into structured merge fields on the Contact record using a naming convention like MC_COMPANY_NAME and MC_COMPANY_INDUSTRY. Contacts sharing the same Company in Aritic receive the same merge field values in Mailchimp. Multi-contact companies are not grouped into a parent record; grouping is lost in this direction.

Aritic Deals cannot migrate as records into Mailchimp. We extract deal stage, value, pipeline name, creation date, and close date and synthesize them into a structured contact note field or custom merge field (MC_DEAL_HISTORY__C if your Mailchimp plan supports custom fields). This preserves the deal context in plain language for your team to reference without losing it entirely. Any open Deals are flagged as requiring a separate tracking solution post-migration.

The numeric lead score value from Aritic exports as a static number, which we write to a custom merge field or structured note on the Mailchimp Contact. The active scoring model (rules, weights, triggers, behavioral thresholds) is not portable. We provide a scoring-rule inventory sheet documenting every active Aritic scoring model so your admin can reconstruct it in Mailchimp using Customer Journey conditions or a third-party lead scoring integration. Mailchimp's implicit engagement scoring (opens, clicks, website activity) is separate and does not replace the Aritic model.

Aritic Activities (calls, emails, meetings) cannot migrate as native Mailchimp objects because Mailchimp has no activity timeline. We write a summary engagement note to each Contact record capturing the last three to five activity timestamps, types, and outcomes as structured merge field data. This preserves the recency signal for your team without a full history migration. Mailchimp's native open-and-click tracking continues from migration day forward.

Aritic Owners referenced on Contacts and Deals do not map to any Mailchimp object. We write owner name and email as merge field data on the Contact record (MC_OWNER_NAME__C, MC_OWNER_EMAIL__C) so your team can see which rep was assigned in Aritic. This is informational only; Mailchimp does not support multi-user CRM-style assignment.

Custom fields on Aritic Contacts are enumerated during scoping. We map each to a Mailchimp merge field with the appropriate type: text fields to TEXT merge fields, date fields to DATE merge fields, and single-select picklists to RADIO or dropdown merge fields. Multi-select picklists from Aritic convert to TAG assignments in Mailchimp because Mailchimp does not support multi-select merge fields. Any Aritic custom field with a formula-type behavior or cross-object reference is flagged as unsupported and documented for manual entry.

Aritic File Manager documents, invoice PDFs, and e-contract attachments do not migrate into Mailchimp because Mailchimp has no document management module. We document which files are attached to which Contact or Deal during the export scan and provide a file inventory with original download URLs or a bundled ZIP for your admin to store externally. Files referenced as URLs in Aritic that have expired are flagged as broken links.
