Overview
Moving from Camp Automation to Nutshell CRM is a shift from an all-in-one GTM automation platform to a purpose-built sales CRM. Camp Automation uses a flat Contact model with company associations stored as a property; Nutshell separates People (contacts) from Accounts (companies) with a foreign-key relationship that must be resolved at migration time. We extract every distinct company name from Camp's contact records, create Account records in Nutshell first, then import People with the AccountId lookup satisfied. Deal records from Camp map to Nutshell Opportunities with pipeline stages configured to match the destination tier's pipeline capabilities. Email template assets migrate as HTML documents for manual re-attachment to Nutshell campaigns. Automation workflows and multi-channel sequences in Camp do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of each automation with a rebuild recommendation for Nutshell's workflow builder. Tags transfer as multi-select picklist values or as a tag-name custom field, and we preserve the full taxonomy so segmentation is not lost at cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Camp Automation 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.
Camp Automation
Contact
Nutshell
Person
1:1Camp Automation Contacts map to Nutshell Person records. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) migrate directly. The company name stored in Camp's company property becomes a lookup to the Nutshell Account record we create from distinct company names extracted during the discovery pass. We split the full name into Nutshell's first_name and last_name fields; any records without a name are imported with a placeholder and flagged for customer review.
Camp Automation
Company
Nutshell
Account
1:1Camp Automation Company records map to Nutshell Account records. We extract company name, domain, industry, and size fields and map them to Account.name, Account.website, Account.industry, and Account.employees respectively. Account records are created first during migration so that the AccountId lookup on Person is satisfied at import time. Where Camp stores multiple contacts under a single company with no explicit Company record, we create Account records from the company name property during the Contacts extraction pass.
Camp Automation
Deal
Nutshell
Opportunity
1:1Camp Automation Deals map to Nutshell Opportunities with pipeline and stage mapped via a named stage-to-stage configuration. We extract pipeline name, stage, value, close date, and owner. Nutshell's pipeline structure uses Stages configured within the CRM rather than as a separate API object, so we pre-configure the pipeline in Nutshell before import and map the Camp pipeline and stage values to the corresponding Nutshell Stage during the transform step. Deal owner maps by email lookup to Nutshell User.
Camp Automation
Deal Stage
Nutshell
Opportunity Stage
lossyCamp pipeline stages map to Nutshell Stages pre-created in the destination CRM. Stage probabilities are not stored in Camp's export, so we either use customer-specified probabilities or default to Nutshell's standard stage probability percentages. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won stages are preserved with their original close dates from Camp.
Camp Automation
Pipeline
Nutshell
Pipeline
lossyCamp Automation pipelines (one per campaign or sales process) map to Nutshell Pipelines. We create a Nutshell Pipeline for each Camp pipeline during the configuration phase. The mapping is 1:1 unless the customer requests pipeline consolidation, in which case we document the intended mapping and apply it during the Deal import transform.
Camp Automation
Campaign
Nutshell
Campaign (manual reconstruction)
lossyCamp Automation multi-channel Campaigns (grouping email, SMS, social, and push assets) do not have a direct Nutshell equivalent because Nutshell Campaigns are email-centric activity groupings. We import the campaign name and description as a Nutshell Campaign record for reference, and document the channel-specific assets (email templates, SMS content, social posts) in a written handoff inventory for the customer's admin to manually re-create in Nutshell's campaign editor.
Camp Automation
Email Template
Nutshell
Document (HTML export)
1:1Camp Automation Email Templates (subject, HTML body, variable placeholders) export as HTML files with inline CSS and preserved variable syntax. We deliver these as a zip archive of HTML documents organized by campaign, rather than importing them into Nutshell's template library, because Nutshell's template structure differs from Camp's. The customer's admin uploads templates manually into Nutshell's email editor, using the exported HTML as source material.
Camp Automation
Tag
Nutshell
Tag Field (multi-select picklist)
1:1Camp Automation tags migrate to a Nutshell Tag field of type multi-select picklist. We preserve the full tag taxonomy exactly and reapply all tags at import time. Tags that do not exist in the destination are created during import. The tag taxonomy is preserved end-to-end so that segmentation logic built on tags in Camp continues to function in Nutshell after migration.
Camp Automation
Custom Field
Nutshell
Custom Column
1:1Camp Automation custom fields on Contacts, Companies, and Deals require schema discovery before migration (customer exports the field list from Camp UI). Field types (text, date, dropdown, number) map to the equivalent Nutshell column types. We pre-create all custom columns in Nutshell before data import so that field types are correct and reporting filters remain functional. Without schema discovery, we risk creating fields with incorrect types which can corrupt filter logic.
Camp Automation
User / Owner
Nutshell
User
1:1Camp Automation Owners map to Nutshell Users by email address match. We extract every distinct owner referenced on Contact, Company, Deal, and Engagement record and match by email against the Nutshell destination. Owners without a matching Nutshell User go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and schema inventory
We audit the Camp Automation account across tiers (Lite, Basic, Premium), total contact count, company record count, deal volume, pipeline count, active automation count, tag taxonomy size, and custom field inventory. We ask the customer to export the full custom field list from the Camp UI (Contacts, Companies, Deals settings pages). We pair this with the customer's Nutshell account review to confirm the destination tier, existing pipelines, and any pre-configured columns. The discovery output is a written migration scope document and a field mapping spreadsheet covering every standard and custom field.
Field mapping and transform design
We design the field mapping spreadsheet mapping each Camp field (standard and custom) to its Nutshell equivalent. For the flat Contact model, we configure the split logic that extracts company names from the company property and queues them for Account creation before Person import. For Deals, we map each Camp pipeline and stage to a pre-created Nutshell Pipeline and Stage. Custom fields map to Nutshell columns with type verification against the schema inventory provided by the customer. Tags map to a Nutshell multi-select picklist. The mapping spreadsheet is reviewed and approved by the customer before any data is extracted.
Account and Person import in dependency order
We export Camp Company records first, create Nutshell Account records (with name, website, industry mapped), and validate the Account import in a test run. Once Accounts are confirmed, we export Camp Contacts, resolve the company name to AccountId via the account name lookup, and import Persons via CSV in batches. Each batch is validated against the row count from Camp. Owner resolution by email happens during this phase, with missing Nutshell Users flagged in the reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision.
Opportunity import with pipeline configuration
We export Camp Deals and apply the pipeline and stage mapping designed in step 2. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won stages preserve the original close dates from Camp. Owner mapping by email is applied during the transform. Opportunities are imported via CSV in dependency order (AccountId and OwnerId must resolve before insert). We validate deal count, stage distribution, and value totals against the Camp export report.
Tag taxonomy and custom field application
We apply the tag taxonomy to migrated Person and Opportunity records via multi-select picklist update in CSV batches. Custom columns created in Nutshell during schema inventory are populated with the corresponding values from Camp. Notes and engagement records (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) are exported from Camp and mapped to Nutshell Activity notes where the platform supports them; records that cannot map directly are flagged in the handoff inventory.
Campaign and automation handoff
We deliver the campaign handoff document listing every Camp Campaign with its multi-channel asset inventory (email templates, SMS content, social posts, push notification assets) organized by campaign name. We deliver the automation inventory document listing every active Camp workflow with trigger, conditions, actions, and recommended Nutshell equivalent. Both documents are written for the customer's admin to use as a rebuild checklist in Nutshell's campaign editor and workflow builder. We do not rebuild campaigns or automations inside the migration scope. We support a one-week post-migration validation window where we resolve any record count discrepancies or import errors raised by the customer's team.
