Overview
Fame Service's CRM layer centers on contacts, companies, and deals with real-time activity tracking across meetings, calls, tasks, and notes. Custom fields are supported per record type. Nutshell models the same core objects as People (contacts), Companies, Leads, and Opportunities, with custom fields available on each. The migration maps Fame Service's activity history into Nutshell Tasks and Events, preserving original timestamps and owner email resolution against Nutshell user accounts. FlitStack sequences the load so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly: Companies first, then People linked to Companies, then Deals linked to People and Companies. Any Fame Service custom fields that have no Nutshell native equivalent become custom fields in Nutshell's settings panel. Workflows, automations, and email templates do not migrate — those must be rebuilt in Nutshell's automation builder. The migration uses scoped read access on Fame Service during the cutover window, with a 24–48 hour delta pickup capturing any in-flight changes. Sample migration with field-level diff runs first to verify mapping accuracy before the full dataset commits.
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 Fame Service 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.
Fame Service
Contact
Nutshell
People
1:1Direct field-to-field mapping for standard contact properties. Nutshell People records store name, email, phone, address, and title. Owner resolution happens by matching Fame Service owner email against Nutshell user email addresses. Unmatched owners flagged before migration commits. The mapping preserves the original contact record identity in the target system so reporting continuity is maintained.
Fame Service
Contact Role
Nutshell
People Custom Field
1:1Fame Service contact roles (e.g., Decision Maker, Influencer, Technical Buyer) have no direct Nutshell equivalent. We create a Role__c pick-list custom field on the People object and populate it from Fame Service role data. Your team maps this to Nutshell's person type (Lead vs. People) during onboarding.
Fame Service
Company
Nutshell
Company
1:1Direct map from Fame Service companies to Nutshell Companies. Company name, website, industry, employee count, and address fields map directly to their Nutshell equivalents. Parent-child company hierarchies in Fame Service map to Nutshell's parent Company field when the destination hierarchy is configured. All company records are loaded first in the migration sequence to establish the relationship tree before People records attach to them.
Fame Service
Deal
Nutshell
Opportunity
1:1Direct map from Fame Service deals to Nutshell Opportunities. Deal name, amount, stage, close date, and owner transfer directly. Fame Service deal custom fields map to Nutshell custom fields on the Opportunity object if native fields do not cover the data.
Fame Service
Deal Stage
Nutshell
Opportunity Stage
1:1Fame Service deal stage values map to Nutshell Opportunity Stage values via a value-mapping worksheet your team completes during planning. We capture the source stage entered date as a custom datetime field (Stage_Entered_Date__c) for reporting continuity. Any custom stage names require explicit value-by-value mapping before migration runs to avoid defaulting to Nutshell's first active stage.
Fame Service
Activity (Call)
Nutshell
Task
1:1Fame Service call logs migrate as Nutshell Tasks with Type='Call', Subject, Description, and original completion timestamp preserved. Owner assignment matches by email against Nutshell user accounts. Call duration and outcome notes transfer to the Task Description field to maintain complete call history in the target system.
Fame Service
Activity (Email)
Nutshell
Task
1:1Fame Service email activities migrate as Nutshell Tasks with Type='Email'. Subject line maps to Task Subject; email body content transfers to Description. Attachments are downloaded from Fame Service and re-uploaded to Nutshell Files linked to the associated People record by email match on the sender and recipients.
Fame Service
Activity (Meeting)
Nutshell
Event
1:1Fame Service meeting records migrate as Nutshell Events with original start time, end time, location, and description preserved. Meeting title maps to Event Subject. Invitees resolve to Nutshell People records by email match to maintain the attendee list correctly in the destination system.
Fame Service
Note
Nutshell
Note
1:1Fame Service notes migrate as Nutshell Notes attached to the parent record (People, Company, or Opportunity). Rich-text formatting is preserved where Fame Service exports support it. Note create date transfers as a custom field (Created_Date__c) for audit trail continuity across both platforms.
Fame Service
Attachment
Nutshell
File
1:1File attachments on Fame Service records download and re-upload to Nutshell Files. Each file links to the parent record (People, Company, or Opportunity) in Nutshell. File size limits apply per Nutshell's standard limits; large files flagged for manual handling if they exceed platform thresholds. All attachment links are validated post-migration to confirm successful reattachment.
Fame Service
Custom Field (Contact)
Nutshell
People Custom Field
1:1Fame Service custom contact fields that have no Nutshell native equivalent become custom fields on the People object. We pre-create these in your Nutshell account during the setup phase. Custom field type mapping (text, number, date, pick-list) follows Fame Service's field type definition to preserve data integrity.
Fame Service
Custom Field (Deal)
Nutshell
Opportunity Custom Field
1:1Fame Service deal-level custom fields migrate as custom fields on the Nutshell Opportunity object via Settings > Custom Fields. Numeric and currency fields map directly without transformation. Pick-list fields require value-by-value mapping if the allowed values differ between Fame Service and Nutshell to ensure selections transfer correctly.
Fame Service
User/Owner
Nutshell
User
1:1Fame Service user records resolve to Nutshell users by email address matching against Nutshell user accounts. Only users with active Nutshell accounts receive migrated records and maintain owner attribution. Inactive Fame Service owners are flagged and assigned to a designated fallback Nutshell user or admin during migration to prevent orphaned records.

Migration approach
Audit Fame Service data model and identify export constraints
Before any data moves, we run a read-only audit of your Fame Service account to catalog all objects, custom fields, activity types, and relationship structures. We identify any data export limitations (API pagination, field-level restrictions, or record-count caps) and document the object hierarchy so the migration sequence resolves foreign keys correctly. The audit output includes a custom field inventory sheet and a relationship map that becomes the basis for the Nutshell field creation plan.
Create Nutshell custom fields and configure object settings
We pre-create all Nutshell custom fields needed for Fame Service data that has no native equivalent. This includes Role__c on People, Stage_Entered_Date__c on Opportunities, and any deal-level custom fields that map from Fame Service. Your Nutshell admin approves the field list before creation. This step runs in parallel with the Fame Service audit so the destination schema is ready before validation data is generated.
Resolve owners and map deal stages
Owner resolution matches Fame Service user email addresses against Nutshell user accounts. Unmatched owners are flagged with a recommendation (invite to Nutshell or reassign to a fallback user). Deal stage mapping worksheet is completed with your team to ensure every Fame Service stage name maps to a specific Nutshell Opportunity Stage value. This step gates the migration run — no deal records load until stage mapping is confirmed in writing.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records (typically 100-500) migrates first, spanning People, Companies, Opportunities, and a sample of activities. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field. You review the diff to confirm that role mapping, stage mapping, owner resolution, and timestamp handling meet your expectations. Any mapping adjustments are made before the full run proceeds. This step typically completes within 24 hours of receiving stage mapping confirmation.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset migrates in dependency order: Companies first (establishing parent relationships), then People linked to Companies, then Opportunities linked to People and Companies, then Activities and Notes attached to the parent records. A delta-pickup window (24-48 hours from migration start) captures any records created or modified in Fame Service during the cutover period. An audit log records every operation. One-click rollback is available if post-migration reconciliation identifies issues. Your team continues working in Fame Service throughout the migration window — no access restrictions are placed on the source account.
