Overview
Moving from Divalto weavy to Mailchimp is a paradigm shift from a full mobile CRM to a purpose-built email marketing platform. Divalto weavy manages the complete sales cycle including Contacts, Companies, Leads, Deals, Pipeline Stages, Activities, and custom objects built in the Development Studio. Mailchimp operates on an Audience-Subscriber model with Campaigns, Automations, and Merge Tags. We migrate the contact and company data (which represent the overlap between both platforms), preserve Divalto company records as merge tag fields on Mailchimp contacts, and sync Divalto segments to Mailchimp audiences. We flag Deals, Opportunities, Pipeline Stages, Activity histories, and Development Studio custom objects as having no Mailchimp equivalent and deliver a written handoff inventory for manual rebuild or archival. Divalto weavy's per-user pricing ($40 per user per month base) does not carry forward; Mailchimp uses an audience-based pricing model that is independent of team headcount.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Divalto weavy 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.
Divalto weavy
Contact
Mailchimp
Subscriber
1:1Divalto weavy Contact records migrate directly to Mailchimp Subscribers within a designated Audience. We map the contact's email address as the Subscriber email (required for Mailchimp), first name to FNAME merge tag, last name to LNAME merge tag, phone to PHONE merge tag, and address fields to ADDRESS merge tag. Any custom fields on the Divalto contact created in the Development Studio map to custom merge tags in Mailchimp that we create during migration. Duplicate email detection uses Mailchimp's built-in dedupe on email address. The contact's owner assignment in Divalto does not map to a Mailchimp field; owner tracking requires a separate administrative spreadsheet.
Divalto weavy
Company
Mailchimp
Audience Member (Company data as merge tags)
1:manyDivalto weavy Company records carry business entity data (company name, industry, billing address, website) that has no native equivalent in Mailchimp. We resolve the Company-to-Contact relationship from Divalto weavy during migration and apply company-level data as merge tags on each related Subscriber. COMPANY_NAME maps to a custom COMPANY merge tag; INDUSTRY maps to INDUSTRY; WEBSITE maps to WEBSITE. Subscribers without a linked Company receive a blank merge tag. This is a denormalization step because Mailchimp does not have a separate Company object; all company context lives on the individual subscriber record.
Divalto weavy
Lead
Mailchimp
Subscriber
1:1Divalto weavy Lead records (prospects in the suspect-to-client lifecycle) migrate as Subscribers with a LEAD_STATUS custom merge tag carrying the original Divalto stage value. If the lead has not yet been converted to a Contact in Divalto weavy, we preserve the lead source and score in custom merge tags (LEAD_SOURCE, LEAD_SCORE) so the marketing team can segment based on original lead origin. Lead conversion data (converted date, converted-to Contact reference) is preserved as text fields but cannot create a relationship in Mailchimp's flat subscriber model.
Divalto weavy
Deal
Mailchimp
None
lossyDivalto weavy Deals (Opportunities) with deal name, value, stage, expected close date, and owner have no Mailchimp equivalent. Mailchimp does not manage revenue pipeline, deal stages, or opportunity records. We extract the full Deal inventory during scoping and deliver it as a CSV export for the customer's records. If the customer requires deal tracking post-migration, we recommend a separate CRM tool (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive) and do not include Deal data in the Mailchimp load. This is an explicit scope exclusion documented in the migration handoff.
Divalto weavy
Pipeline Stage
Mailchimp
None
lossyPipeline stages in Divalto weavy are configurable per organization and tie directly to Deal management. Mailchimp has no pipeline or stage concept. We extract the complete stage list and probability mapping during discovery and include it in the Deal export CSV. If the customer uses pipeline stages to drive marketing segments (e.g., active pipeline customers excluded from re-engagement campaigns), we translate stage-based logic into Mailchimp segment filters using custom merge tags populated from the Deal export.
Divalto weavy
Activity
Mailchimp
Campaign Activity (engagement tracking)
1:manyDivalto weavy Activities (calls, meetings, tasks, notes) with type, date, description, and linked owner represent the sales interaction history. Mailchimp does not have a native activity log for sales calls or meetings; it tracks email engagement (opens, clicks, bounces) only. We do not migrate Divalto activity history into Mailchimp. We deliver the activity history as a CSV export linked by contact email for the customer's administrative records. If email engagement data exists in Divalto weavy (sent emails tracked in Divalto), we map those to Mailchimp campaign activity where the email address overlap allows a match.
Divalto weavy
Segment
Mailchimp
Audience
1:1Divalto weavy contact Segments (the platform's built-in segmentation feature) map to Mailchimp Audiences. The official Divalto-Mailchimp integration synchronizes segments to Mailchimp in real time, but a structured migration replays the full segment membership during the initial load, ensuring each Divalto segment maps to a dedicated Mailchimp Audience or a Mailchimp Tag within a unified Audience. We map segment membership as Tags in Mailchimp (e.g., a Divalto segment 'Enterprise Prospects' becomes a Mailchimp Tag 'Enterprise_Prospects') and optionally as a segment filter if the customer prefers dynamic membership over static Tags.
Divalto weavy
User
Mailchimp
Mailchimp User
1:1Divalto weavy Users with profile assignments (Standard, Sales, Technician, Full) map to Mailchimp workspace Users. We extract the user list and map email addresses to Mailchimp user invitations. Profile roles do not have direct Mailchimp equivalents; Mailchimp uses Account-level roles (Admin, Author, Manager, Viewer). We preserve the Divalto profile as a text field in the user handoff document. Migration of inactive Divalto users depends on whether the customer wants them provisioned in Mailchimp or held for reconciliation.
Divalto weavy
Custom Object (Development Studio)
Mailchimp
Merge Tags
lossyDivalto weavy custom objects and custom fields built in the Development Studio have no native Mailchimp equivalent. We identify every custom object definition during discovery and evaluate whether the data maps to a contact-level attribute (eligible for Mailchimp merge tag) or a related-record attribute (requires archival). Custom fields on Contact that represent customer attributes (industry vertical, contract tier, renewal date) map to Mailchimp merge tags. Custom objects that represent independent entities (projects, contracts, vehicles) do not migrate to Mailchimp and are documented in the handoff for the customer's admin to decide on archival or alternative system storage.

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the Divalto weavy source environment across contacts, companies, leads, deals, segments, user count, and any Development Studio custom objects. We extract record counts per object, identify custom field definitions, and capture the full segment membership list. We also review the existing Zapier integration (if active) to understand the sync direction, last sync timestamp, and which fields are currently flowing into Mailchimp. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, a merge tag design document for all custom fields, and a Zapier pause recommendation. We confirm the Mailchimp Audience ID and tier before scheduling the migration window.
Merge tag schema deployment
We create all required merge tags in the destination Mailchimp Audience before any contact data loads. Merge tags are named per Mailchimp conventions (max 40 characters, alphanumeric and underscores, prefixed with a tag name that reflects the source field). Company-level fields (company name, industry, website) are added as custom merge tags on the contact level. Any Development Studio custom fields that map to contact attributes are added as merge tags here. If the customer uses multiple Mailchimp Audiences for different Divalto segments, we configure each Audience's merge tag set before migration begins. Merge tag deployment is validated via the Mailchimp API before data loading starts.
Contact and company extraction
We extract Divalto weavy Contact records and resolve the linked Company record for each contact. The company name, industry, billing address, and website are attached to the contact record as denormalized merge tag values. We apply the Divalto segment membership as Mailchimp Tags on each contact record. Leads are extracted separately with their status and source preserved as merge tags. We run deduplication on email address at this stage to catch any duplicate contacts in Divalto before loading into Mailchimp.
Migration freeze and Zapier coordination
We coordinate with the customer to pause the active Zapier integration 48-72 hours before the migration import window. This prevents new contacts from arriving in Mailchimp during the load, which would create duplicates. We capture a final state snapshot of Divalto data at the freeze point. Any contacts that arrive in Divalto during the migration window are queued for a delta import after cutover. The customer disables or archives the Zapier integration at cutover and confirms in writing that Mailchimp is the new system of record for contact data.
Production import and duplicate reconciliation
We run the contact import into Mailchimp using the API with batch chunking and email-address-based deduplication. The import includes all standard fields mapped to Mailchimp subscriber fields and all custom fields mapped to merge tags. Tags are applied per the segment membership mapping. After import completes, we run a duplicate reconciliation pass to identify any Mailchimp subscribers that existed from the prior Zapier sync but are now superseded by the migration import. We remove the older duplicates and retain the migrated record. The customer validates a random sample of 25-50 records against the Divalto source before cutover sign-off.
Cutover and Deal/Activity export handoff
We freeze the Divalto-to-Mailchimp sync at cutover, run a final delta import for any contacts modified during the migration window, and confirm Mailchimp as the system of record. We deliver the Deal export CSV, Activity history export CSV, and Pipeline Stage mapping document to the customer's admin. We do not rebuild Divalto activities or deal tracking in Mailchimp because Mailchimp does not support those record types. We support a 72-hour hypercare window to resolve any import issues raised during initial Mailchimp usage. Post-hypercare, the customer manages Mailchimp independently for email marketing operations.
