Migrate your Capsule CRM data
Simple, lightweight CRM for small businesses that keeps contact management and sales pipelines uncluttered. Capsule prioritises ease of use over feature depth, making it a frequent first CRM and a frequent stepping stone to HubSpot or Salesforce.
In its favor
Why people choose Capsule CRM
The signal that keeps Capsule CRM on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
The generous free tier with 250 contacts and 2 users lets small teams validate CRM fit before committing to a paid plan, removing financial risk from initial adoption.
The clean, uncluttered interface receives consistent praise from users who have tried more complex CRMs, with task management features rated highly for daily workflow efficiency.
Capsule's customer support is cited repeatedly in reviews as responsive and human, contrasting with larger platforms where support is tiered or self-service-only.
Integration depth with Xero, QuickBooks, Zendesk, and Google Workspace makes Capsule a natural fit for small businesses already running those tools, reducing context-switching.
The platform's custom fields, labels, and pipeline configuration allow meaningful tailoring without developer support, giving non-technical teams real customisation power.
Teams outgrow Capsule's feature ceiling when they need advanced automation, multi-currency support, or CRM capabilities beyond single-instance sales pipeline management.
Enterprise requirements like granular role permissions, SSO enforcement, or audit logging are absent or immature, forcing compliance-conscious teams to migrate elsewhere.
Occasional sync issues with third-party integrations cause data freshness problems that frustrate users who rely on real-time contact and calendar accuracy.
The platform lacks native marketing automation and advanced reporting dashboards, pushing marketing-heavy teams toward HubSpot or ActiveCampaign.
Small teams with fewer than 10 users report that Capsule works well but becomes expensive per-user as headcount grows, narrowing the value proposition.

What gets migrated
Capsule CRM object support
Object-by-object support for Capsule CRM migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Parties (Contacts and Organisations)
Fully supportedCapsule's Party is a unified object that encompasses both individual Contacts and Organisations. We map Parties to separate Contact and Company/Account objects in the destination CRM, preserving email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, owner assignments, and the Contact's relationship to its Organisation.
Opportunities
Fully supportedOpportunities represent deals in one or more Sales Pipelines. We carry forward pipeline name, stage name, probability, expected close date, value, currency, and owner. Capsule's pipeline stage names are mapped to the destination's equivalent stages based on position in the sequence.
Cases
Mapping requiredCases track customer support or service issues. Capsule associates Cases with Parties. We migrate Cases as Tickets or Cases in the destination, mapping status, priority, assignee, and description. Custom case fields require resolution against Capsule's field definition endpoint before mapping.
Projects
Mapping requiredProjects exist on Starter and above plans and can link to Opportunities. We migrate project name, milestones, status, and linked Opportunity references. Not all CRMs have a native Project object; in those cases we flatten milestones into Tasks under the linked Opportunity.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields are created via Capsule's data-tag system and can be list, text, date, or numeric types. Each field definition must be fetched from the API before values can be correctly typed and mapped. We handle both party-level and opportunity-level custom fields, resolving list options to destination picklist values.
Tasks
Fully supportedTasks in Capsule carry due dates, assignees, statuses, and optional links to Parties or Opportunities. We preserve assignee mapping and due dates. Tasks without an associated Party or Opportunity are imported as standalone Tasks in the destination where supported.
Activities
Mapping requiredActivities log email interactions, calls, meetings, and notes against Parties. We migrate the activity type, description, timestamp, and direction (inbound/outbound). Activity bodies are preserved as notes or descriptions in the destination. High-volume activity imports may require batching due to Capsule's rate limits.
Tags
Mapping requiredTags in Capsule are flat labels applied to Parties, Opportunities, and Cases. We translate tag names 1:1 in most cases. Where the destination uses a different tagging model (e.g., HubSpot's labels or Pipedrive's tags), we apply a direct name mapping and flag any tag conflicts.
Users / Team Members
Mapping requiredCapsule Users are assigned as owners of Parties, Opportunities, Cases, and Tasks. We map Capsule users to corresponding user records in the destination by email address. If a destination user does not exist, we flag for pre-provisioning before migration begins.
Milestones
Mapping requiredMilestones are sub-objects of Projects in Capsule, representing time-bound deliverables. We map milestones to Project Tasks with a milestone flag, preserving due dates and completion status. Where the destination supports native milestones, we preserve the structure intact.
