Overview
BlueCamroo's all-in-one data model structures every sub-record under Organizations, so migration sequencing is load-bearing. We export Organizations first, resolve the new Nutshell Account IDs, then attach Contacts, Opportunities, and Cases using that lookup. BlueCamroo's Custom Forms (the 2022 rename of Extra Data Objects) require querying both API endpoints during discovery so no custom object escapes scoping. Projects and time entries have no native Nutshell equivalent; we migrate them as custom fields on the linked Account or Deal, or flag them for a project management migration tool. Workflow Rules, Task notification rules, and project templates are configuration records that do not export and are delivered as written rebuild checklists. Nutshell's per-user pricing and clean pipeline interface make it a practical upgrade for SMBs leaving BlueCamroo's per-module model, but the destination's native feature set is narrower — Support Cases, Projects, and Invoicing are either absent or require third-party apps to replicate.
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 BlueCamroo 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.
BlueCamroo
Organizations (Accounts)
Nutshell
Company
1:1BlueCamroo Organizations are the parent container for all sub-records and export as the first phase of every migration. We map Organization name to Company name, Organization address fields to Nutshell Company address fields, and use Organization ID as the dedupe key during import. This is the foundational record that every other import phase references — it must land before any Contact, Opportunity, or Case import.
BlueCamroo
People (Contacts)
Nutshell
Person
1:1BlueCamroo Contacts attach under Organizations and export with an Organization ID linking field. We map the linking field to the newly created Nutshell Company ID using the lookup table built during the Organizations phase. Person name, email, phone, title, and custom fields migrate directly. If the BlueCamroo Contact has no Organization (a rare edge case in BlueCamroo but possible with direct API inserts), we create a stub Company record first.
BlueCamroo
Opportunities
Nutshell
Deal
1:1BlueCamroo Opportunities link to Organizations and include pipeline stage, estimated value, and close date. We map Opportunity name to Nutshell Deal name, estimated value to monetary fields, close date to close date, and pipeline stage to Nutshell stage values. BlueCamroo pipeline stages are mapped to Nutshell's default stage set (Prospecting through Closed Won/Lost), with any custom stages mapped as closely as the destination allows.
BlueCamroo
Cases (Support Tickets)
Nutshell
Case
lossyBlueCamroo Cases link to Organizations with a status lifecycle (Open, In Progress, Closed, Re-Opened) and conversation history. Nutshell does not have a native Cases module, so we map Cases to a custom Nutshell object or to Deals with a Case type flag. Email-to-case routing is set via BlueCamroo Workflow Rules that do not migrate — we document the routing logic in the Workflow inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild using Nutshell's automation rules or a connected helpdesk app.
BlueCamroo
Products and Services
Nutshell
Product
1:1BlueCamroo Products and Price Books with per-account pricing tiers migrate to Nutshell Product records. Product name, SKU, and unit price map directly. BlueCamroo price book tiers are preserved as custom fields on the Product record since Nutshell does not have a native Price Book multi-tier structure.
BlueCamroo
Projects
Nutshell
Deal (custom fields)
1:manyBlueCamroo Projects include stages, tasks, time entries, billable hours, and budget tracking — none of which have native Nutshell equivalents. We decompose Projects into a Deal record (for project name, stage, and estimated value) plus custom fields on the linked Company or Deal to carry project metadata (budget, hours logged, project template origin). Time entries migrate as line-item custom fields on the Deal. For customers with complex project dependencies, we recommend a dedicated project management migration to a tool like Asana or monday.com as a separate engagement.
BlueCamroo
Extra Data Objects / Custom Forms
Nutshell
Custom fields on Company, Person, or Deal
lossyBlueCamroo renamed Extra Data Objects to Custom Forms in version 8.3.10 (October 2022). We query both API endpoints during discovery to ensure no custom object is missed. Each Extra Data Object or Custom Form maps to Nutshell custom fields on the appropriate base object (Company, Person, or Deal) configured before import. Multi-value custom fields map to Nutshell multi-select fields where supported.
BlueCamroo
Time Entries
Nutshell
Custom fields on Deal or Company
1:manyBlueCamroo time entries are logged against Projects with billable/unbillable flags, owner assignment, and hours totals. Since Nutshell has no native time tracking, we aggregate time entry totals by Project and attach them as custom numeric fields on the related Deal or Company record. Itemized time entry records with individual dates and descriptions are preserved in a CSV export delivered alongside the migration for reference or integration with a time-tracking tool.
BlueCamroo
User Roles
Nutshell
User
1:1BlueCamroo's per-module subscription model assigns users to role types (CRM-only, Sales, Projects, Support, Complete). We map BlueCamroo role types to Nutshell User accounts by email match. Any BlueCamroo user without a matching Nutshell account goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision before the final record import phase.
BlueCamroo
Workflow Rules
Nutshell
Automation rules (manual rebuild)
1:1BlueCamroo Workflow Rules automate process steps across CRM, Sales, Projects, and Support modules. These are configuration records with conditional logic that cannot be exported via the API or Reports. We document every active Workflow Rule during discovery (trigger type, conditions, actions, and associated object) and deliver a written rebuild guide mapped to Nutshell's automation rules. The customer's admin recreates these post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and workspace audit
We audit the BlueCamroo workspace across all active modules (CRM, Sales, Projects, Support), record counts for Organizations, People, Opportunities, Cases, Projects, and Products, and any Extra Data Objects or Custom Forms created before and after the 2022 rename. We also capture the full list of active Workflow Rules, Task notification rules, and project templates. The output is a written migration scope, a data volume summary, and a preliminary object mapping sheet that the customer reviews and signs off before migration begins.
Nutshell destination setup
We create custom fields in Nutshell for any Extra Data Objects or Custom Forms, custom fields for Project metadata and time entry aggregates, and a Case mapping plan (custom Deal type or standalone custom object). We configure Nutshell stage values to approximate the BlueCamroo pipeline stages and set up the Company dedupe key. Schema configuration is validated in a Nutshell trial or sandbox environment before any production data moves.
Organizations (Companies) import with ID mapping
We export BlueCamroo Organizations as the first data phase, clean and deduplicate the Organization list, and import into Nutshell as Companies. We capture the mapping between each BlueCamroo Organization ID and the newly created Nutshell Company ID. This mapping table is the lookup key for all subsequent import phases and must be complete and accurate before any child records are loaded.
People (Contacts) and Opportunities (Deals) import
With the Organizations-to-Companies mapping established, we export People with their Organization ID linking field, resolve the Nutshell Company ID via the mapping table, and import People with the correct Company attachment. Opportunities export with Organization linkage, map to Nutshell Deals with stage translation, and land with the resolved Company and User references. Cases export next with Organization linkage and load as custom field data or Deal attachments depending on the customer's chosen Case mapping approach.
Products, Custom Objects, and Project data migration
Products export from BlueCamroo and import to Nutshell Product records with SKU and pricing. Extra Data Objects and Custom Forms migrate to the pre-configured Nutshell custom fields on Company, Person, or Deal. Project records decompose into Deal records with custom fields for project metadata, and time entry totals aggregate into custom numeric fields. A reference CSV of itemized time entries is delivered alongside for integration with a time-tracking tool if needed.
User and role reconciliation
We extract every distinct BlueCamroo user referenced on Organizations, People, Opportunities, Cases, and Projects and match by email against the Nutshell destination User table. Any BlueCamroo user without a matching Nutshell account is flagged in a reconciliation list. The customer provisions missing Nutshell accounts before the final import delta runs. Owner assignments on records that cannot be resolved are set to a migration service account for the customer's admin to reassign post-migration.
Cutover, delta sync, and Workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze BlueCamroo writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Nutshell as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow Rule and Task notification inventory document to the customer's admin team with a rebuild guide mapped to Nutshell's automation rules. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild BlueCamroo Workflows as Nutshell automation rules within the migration scope; that is a separate configuration engagement.
