Overview
Moving from DinamikCRM to Mailchimp is a contact-centric migration rather than a full CRM replacement. DinamikCRM organizes data across 40+ modular objects including Contacts, Companies, Leads, Activities, and custom modules; Mailchimp's data model centers on Audiences (contacts), Tags, and Segments with no native Deal, Opportunity, or Activity object. We export Contacts and Companies from DinamikCRM, map email addresses and opt-in status to Mailchimp subscriber records, and preserve tag and group associations as Mailchimp Tags or Merge Fields. We do not migrate Deals, Activities, Appointments, Invoices, Tickets, or Workflows because these have no Mailchimp equivalent. Custom DinamikCRM modules are discovered during scoping, and records are either mapped to Mailchimp Merge Fields or flagged as non-migratable depending on schema complexity. Mailchimp pricing scales by contact count ($0 for up to 250, Essentials from ~$14/month for 500, Standard from ~$20/month with automation), making this migration attractive for businesses consolidating email marketing operations into a dedicated platform.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a DinamikCRM object lands in Mailchimp, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
DinamikCRM
Contact
Mailchimp
Audience Subscriber
1:1DinamikCRM Contact records map directly to Mailchimp Audience members. Email address serves as the primary subscriber key. First name and last name map to FNAME and LNAME merge fields. Phone number maps to PHONE merge field. We extract email opt-in status from DinamikCRM's communication preferences or custom fields and set the corresponding Mailchimp status (subscribed, unsubscribed, or pending if double opt-in is configured). Contacts without an email address are held in a reconciliation queue for manual review.
DinamikCRM
Company
Mailchimp
Merge Fields or Tags
lossyDinamikCRM Company records do not have a direct Mailchimp equivalent. Company name maps to a COMPANY merge field on the Audience, and Company industry or size maps to additional Merge Fields. We configure these Merge Fields in Mailchimp before import and populate them during Contact migration. If the customer uses Company as a segmentation dimension (e.g., send only to contacts from companies in a specific industry), we recommend tagging contacts by Company during migration rather than relying solely on Merge Fields.
DinamikCRM
Lead
Mailchimp
Audience Subscriber
1:1DinamikCRM Lead records with email addresses migrate as Audience members with status set to subscribed or pending depending on the lead source and consent status. We map DinamikCRM lead score (if present) to a custom LEADSCORE merge field. Lead status (New, Contacted, Qualified) migrates as a STATUS merge field for segmentation use in Mailchimp. Leads without email are flagged for manual review.
DinamikCRM
Tag/Label
Mailchimp
Tag
1:1DinamikCRM tag assignments on Contacts and Leads migrate as Mailchimp Tags on the corresponding Audience members. We extract all tag associations per contact during the export phase and apply them as Tags in Mailchimp during import. Tag names are preserved as-is. If DinamikCRM uses a tagging hierarchy, we flatten it to a single tag namespace (e.g., Region-North instead of nested Region:North tags) unless the customer requests a specific format.
DinamikCRM
Activities
Mailchimp
No direct mapping
1:1DinamikCRM Activity records (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) have no Mailchimp equivalent. Mailchimp tracks engagement at the subscriber level (opens, clicks, unsubscribes, bounces) against campaigns rather than storing discrete activity records. We do not migrate Activity history. If the customer requires historical engagement context, we recommend exporting DinamikCRM Activities as a CSV and using it as a reference document for rebuilding customer context manually in Mailchimp notes or as internal records.
DinamikCRM
Deal
Mailchimp
No direct mapping
1:1DinamikCRM Deal records with values, stages, and owners do not map to any Mailchimp object. Mailchimp does not support Deal or Opportunity records. We do not migrate Deal data. If the customer needs Deal context for segmentation (e.g., current customer vs. prospect), we recommend tagging contacts by Deal status (e.g., Tag: DealStatus-Won, DealStatus-Lost) during migration scoping, which can be implemented as a Tag based on Deal records extracted from DinamikCRM.
DinamikCRM
Appointments
Mailchimp
No direct mapping
1:1DinamikCRM Appointment records including date, time, attendee, and status have no Mailchimp equivalent. Mailchimp tracks campaign sends and engagement but not calendar-based scheduling. We do not migrate Appointment data. If appointment history is business-critical, we recommend exporting Appointments as a CSV for manual reference.
DinamikCRM
Invoice
Mailchimp
No direct mapping
1:1DinamikCRM Invoice records with line items, totals, and status have no Mailchimp equivalent. Mailchimp is an email marketing platform, not a billing or financial system. We do not migrate Invoice data. If the customer uses invoice history for segmentation (e.g., past customer vs. never purchased), we recommend mapping invoice status to Mailchimp Tags during migration scoping.
DinamikCRM
Customer Support Tickets (DESK)
Mailchimp
No direct mapping
1:1DinamikCRM DESK module tickets with status, priority, assignee, and conversation threads have no Mailchimp equivalent. We do not migrate ticket data. If the customer needs support context for segmentation, we recommend tagging contacts by ticket status (e.g., Tag: SupportStatus-Open, Tag: SupportStatus-Closed) based on exported ticket data.
DinamikCRM
Custom Modules
Mailchimp
Merge Fields or Tags
lossyDinamikCRM custom modules vary per customer account. During scoping, we enumerate active custom modules and their field schemas via the DinamikCRM API discovery phase. Custom fields that map to Mailchimp-supported types (text, number, date, phone, address) become Merge Fields. Fields that map to categorical data become Tags. Highly complex custom module structures with nested relationships are flagged as non-migratable and documented in the migration scope for the customer to handle manually post-migration.

Migration approach
Discovery and consent audit
We audit the DinamikCRM instance for active modules, field schemas, and contact volumes via API discovery. We extract the communication preference field for every Contact and Lead record and flag any contacts with missing or unverified consent status. We also enumerate suppression data (unsubscribed, bounced, cleaned) from DinamikCRM's records if available. The discovery output is a written scope document identifying which objects map to Mailchimp, which require Merge Field creation, and which have no Mailchimp equivalent and will be documented as non-migratable.
Mailchimp audience and schema setup
We create the destination Mailchimp Audience (or Audiences if the customer requires segmentation by region or business unit) and configure Merge Fields to match DinamikCRM field types. We set up Tags for categorical data that does not fit Merge Field types and create a suppression list in Mailchimp for any unsubscribed or bounced contacts identified in the source data. If custom DinamikCRM modules require Merge Field mapping, we create those fields during this phase.
Data profiling and deduplication
We run data profiling against the extracted DinamikCRM Contact and Lead records to identify email address completeness, duplicate records, and malformed data. We apply deduplication logic selecting one record per email address. We flag any contacts with missing email addresses for the customer's manual review. We validate that all email addresses pass basic format checks before import. The profiling report is shared with the customer for sign-off before import begins.
Staged import and suppression handling
We import in staged batches: first suppression list (unsubscribed and bounced contacts), then subscribed contacts. Importing suppression data first ensures Mailchimp immediately suppresses those addresses before any campaign sends can reach them. We use Mailchimp's API with rate-limit handling and exponential backoff for each batch. We emit a row-count reconciliation report after each batch confirming imported record counts against the source export.
Tag and Merge Field population
After contacts are in Mailchimp, we apply Tags based on DinamikCRM tag assignments and populate Merge Fields with data from DinamikCRM Contact, Company, and Lead records. For contacts that belong to specific Companies, we populate the COMPANY merge field and apply a Tag for segmentation. We run a final reconciliation comparing the total contact count in DinamikCRM against the total subscriber count in Mailchimp, accounting for unsubscribes and records held due to missing email.
Migration sign-off and non-migratable handoff
We deliver a final migration report covering imported record counts, tag assignments, Merge Field coverage, and any contacts held in a reconciliation queue. We provide a separate CSV export of all non-migratable data (Activities, Deals, Appointments, Invoices, Tickets, and unsupported custom module records) for the customer's manual reference. We do not rebuild Mailchimp Automations; the automation rebuild scope is documented separately for the customer's marketing team to configure in Mailchimp's builder.
