Overview
Moving from Clarify CRM to Nutshell is a structural migration from an AI-autonomous, credit-priced platform to a per-user SMB CRM with solid reporting and native integrations. Clarify uses one unified Contact model without a separate Lead object, which maps cleanly to Nutshell's Contact and Company structure. Clarify's autonomous field population (AI-enriched company details, deal context, meeting summaries) transfers as standard property values and note attachments rather than structured AI records. We audit Clarify's credit consumption per record during scoping so the customer can decide whether to strip AI-generated fields before import or carry them into Nutshell as-is. Workflows, automations, and opinionated AI agents do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every automation and rule requiring rebuild in Nutshell's workflow builder.
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 Clarify 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.
Clarify CRM
Contact
Nutshell
Contact
1:1Clarify Contact records map directly to Nutshell Contact. Standard fields (name, email, phone, title, address) transfer 1:1. Clarify's AI-enriched properties (autonomously populated company details, contact context) transfer as standard text fields; the customer decides during scoping whether to preserve AI-generated values or strip them to plain data. Nutshell does not have a lifecycle stage property, so qualification status from Clarify migrates as a custom text field or tag for reporting.
Clarify CRM
Company
Nutshell
Company
1:1Clarify Company records map to Nutshell Company. Domain-based enrichment from Clarify becomes the Website field. AI-populated company details (annual revenue, employee count, industry) transfer as custom fields on Nutshell Company; we flag any AI-introduced fields that may contain incorrect or stale data for customer review. Company is created before Contact import so that the relationship is satisfied at insert time.
Clarify CRM
Deal
Nutshell
Deal
1:1Clarify Deal records map to Nutshell Deal. Deal value, close date, and stage transfer directly. Clarify's autonomous deal context (AI-generated summaries, deal health indicators) migrates as text fields or attached notes. We map Clarify's pipeline stages to Nutshell's pipeline stages using a 1:1 stage name mapping defined during scoping, creating equivalent Nutshell stages if they do not already exist.

Pipeline Stage
Nutshell
Pipeline Stage
lossyClarify's configurable pipeline stages map to Nutshell Pipeline stages. Each Clarify stage name becomes a Nutshell stage with an assigned probability percentage. We capture the full stage sequence and any custom stage names from Clarify, then configure equivalent Nutshell stages before Deal migration begins.
Clarify CRM
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Task)
Nutshell
Activity
1:1Clarify activity records (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) map to Nutshell Activity. Activity type, date, duration, subject, and body transfer directly. The activity-party relationships (who participated) resolve to Nutshell Contact or Company lookups at migration time. Activity ordering is preserved by timestamp.
Clarify CRM
AI-Generated Meeting Summary
Nutshell
Note (attached to Activity)
1:1Clarify's AI-generated meeting summaries are stored as enriched note content attached to activity records, not as first-class structured objects. We export these summaries as Nutshell Note records and attach them to the corresponding Activity via the Note-Activity relationship. Nutshell's note format preserves the summary text; the customer should review for completeness since summary quality depends on Clarify's original AI output.
Clarify CRM
Tag
Nutshell
Tag
1:1Clarify tag-based labeling on records and deals maps to Nutshell Tags. We preserve all tag assignments during migration and map them 1:1 to Nutshell's tag system. Tag usage on Contacts, Companies, and Deals transfers with the record so that segmentation logic based on tags remains intact in Nutshell.
Clarify CRM
Custom Field
Nutshell
Custom Field
lossyClarify custom fields on standard objects (Contacts, Companies, Deals) map to Nutshell custom fields of equivalent type. We validate field types (text, number, date, currency, dropdown) against Nutshell's supported custom field types during schema mapping. Fields that cannot map directly (e.g., Clarify multi-select with values not supported in Nutshell) are flagged for the customer to resolve before migration.

Clarify CRM gotchas

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and credit audit
We audit Clarify across credit consumption, AI-enriched fields, custom field definitions, pipeline stage names, activity volume, and tag usage. We identify records with high AI credit consumption that may carry incorrect or stale enrichment. We pair this with Nutshell plan selection: Foundation ($16/user/mo annual) covers basic CRM; Pro ($42) unlocks multiple pipelines and advanced reporting; Power AI ($52) adds Nutshell's own AI features. The discovery output is a written migration scope including the AI-field preservation decision and Nutshell plan recommendation.
Schema design and field mapping
We design the Nutshell destination schema before any data moves. This includes creating equivalent pipeline stages, mapping Clarify custom fields to Nutshell custom fields with type validation, configuring Nutshell pipeline views, and defining how Clarify's lifecycle stage values translate into Nutshell Contact fields or tags. Any Clarify field types that cannot map directly to Nutshell are flagged for the customer to resolve. Schema is validated in Nutshell's sandbox or trial environment before production migration begins.
Data quality assessment and cleansing
We run a data quality assessment against Clarify's exported records. We identify duplicate Contacts (matched by email), incomplete records missing required fields (name, email), AI-enriched fields that may contain incorrect data, and inconsistent formatting (phone numbers, addresses). We present a cleansing report to the customer and perform deduplication and format normalization as a separate preprocessing step before migration. Cleansing prevents dirty data from multiplying in Nutshell.
Staged migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (first, as they are referenced by Contacts), Contacts (with Company lookups resolved), Deals (with Contact and Company lookups resolved), Pipeline stages (configured before Deals import), Activities (Calls, Emails, Meetings, Tasks with Contact/Company lookups resolved), AI-generated summaries (as Note attachments on corresponding Activities), and Tags (applied to the records they label). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We throttle exports to 15 req/s per Clarify's API limit with exponential backoff on 429 responses.
Cutover, delta sync, and validation
We freeze Clarify 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 validate record counts, spot-check 25-50 random records against the Clarify source, and confirm that all activities, notes, and tags transferred correctly. We deliver the automation and workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team for rebuild in Nutshell's workflow builder.
Hypercare and handoff
We support a three-day hypercare window following cutover where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's sales team. We do not rebuild Clarify Workflows or AI agents as Nutshell automations inside the migration scope; that work requires a separate engagement or internal admin task. We deliver the full migration log, the field mapping spreadsheet, and the automation inventory as part of the standard handoff package.
