Overview
Moving from Delivra to Nutshell is a migration from a marketing automation platform into a sales CRM, not a lateral platform move. Delivra organizes data around Contacts, Custom Tables with relational structures, Campaigns, and Automated Workflows. Nutshell organizes around People, Organizations (Companies), Deals (Opportunities), and Activities. We translate contact properties directly, flatten Delivra Custom Tables into Nutshell custom fields on the Person and Organization records, and migrate engagement history as Nutshell Activities. Nutshell has no native equivalent for Delivra's automated workflows, behavioral email campaigns, or lead scoring model, so we deliver a written inventory of these for your admin to rebuild in Nutshell Engagement or a third-party marketing tool. Per-user pricing in Nutshell (starting at $19/user/month on monthly billing) includes unlimited contacts, which is structurally different from Delivra's contact-based model and affects total cost differently depending on your team size.
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 Delivra 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.
Delivra
Contact
Nutshell
Person
1:1Delivra Contact records migrate directly to Nutshell Person records. The email address is the primary key and dedupe field. Standard properties including first name, last name, phone, address, and custom fields map to equivalent Nutshell Person custom fields. Subscription status and GDPR consent flags migrate to Nutshell's email consent fields. Owner assignment migrates by resolving the Delivra owner email against Nutshell team member accounts.
Delivra
Company
Nutshell
Organization
1:1Delivra Company records map to Nutshell Organization. The company name is the Organization name field and serves as the dedupe key. Website, address, and industry properties migrate directly. We create Organizations first in the migration sequence so that the Person-Organization relationship is satisfied at the time of Person insert.
Delivra
Deal
Nutshell
Deal
1:1Delivra Deals map to Nutshell Deals. The deal name, value, stage, and close date migrate directly. Delivra's pipeline assignment maps to Nutshell's Deal pipeline configuration. If Delivra uses multiple deal pipelines, we map each to a separate Nutshell pipeline or document the configuration requirement for Nutshell admin setup. Owner assignment resolves via email matching to Nutshell team members.
Delivra
Custom Tables
Nutshell
Person Custom Fields, Organization Custom Fields, Deal Custom Fields
lossyDelivra Custom Tables with 1:1, 1:many, and many:many relationship types do not map directly to Nutshell because Nutshell does not support relational custom objects except on Enterprise ($79/user/month). We flatten Custom Table schemas into Nutshell custom fields. For 1:1 tables, each column becomes a custom field on the related Person or Organization record. For 1:many and many:many tables, we denormalize the foreign key relationships into comma-separated or multi-value custom fields, or we document the restructure as a post-migration data architecture recommendation. If the customer licenses Nutshell Enterprise, custom objects are available for more faithful relational migration.
Delivra
Campaign
Nutshell
Campaign (documented inventory)
1:1Delivra Campaign records are documented as a written inventory during migration scoping. Nutshell does not have a native campaign record equivalent in its base CRM tiers. We export campaign names, targeting criteria, associated content, and status. The customer admin rebuilds campaigns in Nutshell Engagement (available as an add-on) or documents a third-party marketing automation tool for ongoing campaign execution. We do not migrate campaign email content as a functional record.
Delivra
Automated Workflows
Nutshell
Workflow (written inventory)
1:1Delivra Automated Workflows are documented as a written inventory including triggers, conditions, time delays, decision branches, and action sequences. Nutshell does not have a native visual workflow builder in its base CRM. Automation capabilities are available through Nutshell Engagement (an add-on suite) or via Zapier and API integrations. We deliver a structured workflow map with recommended Nutshell Engagement equivalents for each active workflow. The admin rebuilds them post-migration; this is not included in the migration scope.
Delivra
Email Template
Nutshell
Attachment or Note on Person
1:1Delivra email templates built with the drag-and-drop editor are exported as HTML and stored as Note records attached to the related Person or Organization in Nutshell. Complex templates with conditional content blocks, dynamic personalizations, and multi-column layouts may require re-creation in Nutshell's template editor or a third-party tool. We flag templates with advanced formatting for manual review during the handoff phase.
Delivra
User
Nutshell
Team Member
1:1Delivra User accounts migrate as a role-inventory document. Nutshell team members are provisioned directly by the customer admin from the Settings > Team section. We export user names, emails, and role assignments from Delivra and deliver a role mapping table. Role structures differ between platforms so the admin recreates permissions in Nutshell based on the inventory.
Delivra
Engagement Data
Nutshell
Activity
1:1Click tracking, open tracking, and engagement history from Delivra migrate as Activity records in Nutshell linked to the corresponding Person. Individual contact-level engagement metrics (total opens, total clicks, last engagement date) migrate as custom fields on the Person record for reporting and segmentation use in Nutshell. Full engagement timestamps are preserved as Activity records ordered by the original Delivra timestamp.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Delivra gotchas
API specifications are not publicly documented
Custom Tables require schema-level mapping
Contact-based pricing at migration time
Nutshell gotchas
Contact tier limits enforced on import
No bulk API endpoint requires paginated extraction
Email sequences not exportable via API
Foundation plan disables key sales features
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and export coordination
We audit the Delivra account to identify all active data objects: Contact records with custom field counts, Company records, Deal records with pipeline and stage data, Custom Tables with column definitions and relationship types, active workflows, email templates, and user accounts with role assignments. We coordinate with Delivra Support to obtain SFTP credentials if bulk export via SFTP is the chosen path, since the API reference requires a support request to obtain per Delivra's knowledge base policy. We confirm the Nutshell plan tier (Foundation, Growth, Pro, Business, or Enterprise) and verify which objects are available at that tier, particularly custom field limits and custom object support on Enterprise.
Custom Table schema flattening
We analyze each Delivra Custom Table's schema, identify the relationship type (1:1, 1:many, or many:many), and design the target Nutshell custom field structure. For 1:many tables, we determine the parent record type (Person or Organization) and design the denormalized custom field layout. For many:many tables, we identify the junction record logic and flatten it into multi-select or text-area fields. If the customer licenses Nutshell Enterprise, we design custom object schemas as an alternative to flattening. The flattening design is reviewed with the customer before export begins to ensure no critical relational data is lost in translation.
Sandbox mapping validation
We run a full migration into Nutshell using the customer's trial or sandbox environment to validate the field mapping, import ordering, and record dependency chain. The customer reconciles record counts, spot-checks 20-30 records against the Delivra source data, and confirms the Custom Table flattening decisions before production migration begins. Custom field labels and data types are finalized during this phase. Any mapping corrections happen in the sandbox, not in production.
User and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct Delivra User and Owner referenced on Contact, Company, and Deal records. We match these by email against the Nutshell team's user list. Any Delivra Owner without a matching Nutshell team member is placed in a reconciliation queue, and the customer provisions the missing team members before the production migration phase begins. Owner resolution is a prerequisite for Deal migration because Nutshell requires an assigned team member on each Deal record.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Organizations (from Delivra Companies) first, then Persons (from Delivra Contacts with AccountId resolved), then Deals (with OwnerId and pipeline resolved), then Activities (engagement history via CSV import), then custom field data from flattened Custom Tables. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Custom Tables without a clear parent record are held until last and resolved against the agreed flattening design.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze Delivra write access 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 and Campaign inventory document with recommended Nutshell Engagement equivalents to the customer's admin team. We support a three-day post-cutover window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Delivra workflows or campaigns in Nutshell Engagement inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement.
