Overview
FastTrack CRM and Nutshell both manage people, companies, deals, and activities but organize these objects differently. FastTrack stores custom properties as flexible key-value fields across its object graph; Nutshell uses named custom fields scoped per object type (People, Companies, Leads). FastTrack supports custom objects via GraphQL; Nutshell supports custom fields on People, Companies, and Leads. We extract FastTrack data via API (using their REST/GraphQL endpoints for custom objects, events, and user data), then map each FastTrack object and property to its Nutshell equivalent. Trivial fields migrate directly; FastTrack custom properties map to Nutshell custom fields. FastTrack custom objects migrate as Nutshell custom fields or related records depending on the relationship structure. Workflows, automations, and sequences do not migrate — we export workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for Nutshell admins. Activities (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrate as Nutshell activities with original timestamps and owner links preserved. Owner resolution happens by email match against Nutshell users. A delta-pickup window captures in-flight changes during cutover. All records land in Nutshell before the source system is deprecated.
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 FastTrack 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.
FastTrack
Person
Nutshell
People
1:1FastTrack Person maps directly to Nutshell People. Nutshell People store name, email, phone, address, and custom fields. FastTrack person properties that do not have a direct Nutshell equivalent become custom fields on the People record. All FastTrack person timestamps and owner assignments migrate with original values preserved.
FastTrack
Company
Nutshell
Company
1:1FastTrack Company maps to Nutshell Company. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and revenue map directly to Nutshell Company fields. FastTrack company hierarchies (parent-child relationships) map to Nutshell Parent Company field. FastTrack custom company properties migrate as Nutshell custom fields.
FastTrack
Lead
Nutshell
Lead
1:1FastTrack Lead maps to Nutshell Lead. Nutshell Lead includes status, source, and assignment fields. FastTrack lead score or rating properties migrate as a Nutshell custom field. FastTrack lead custom properties map to Nutshell Lead custom fields. Owner assignment resolves by email match against Nutshell users.
FastTrack
Deal
Nutshell
Deal
1:1FastTrack Deal maps to Nutshell Deal. Nutshell Deal includes name, amount, stage, probability, close date, and owner. FastTrack deal properties migrate as Nutshell Deal custom fields. Stage names map value-by-value to Nutshell stage names. Pipeline association in FastTrack maps to Nutshell Deal's linked Company and assigned user.
FastTrack
Activity (Call/Email/Meeting)
Nutshell
Activity (Task/Event)
1:1FastTrack event logs (calls, emails, meetings) map to Nutshell Activities. Call logs migrate as Nutshell Tasks with type='Call'. Email logs migrate as Nutshell Tasks with type='Email'. Meetings migrate as Nutshell Events with start/end times and linked person or deal. Original timestamps and owner links are preserved.
FastTrack
Note
Nutshell
Note
1:1FastTrack notes map to Nutshell Notes. Notes attached to specific records (people, companies, deals) link to the corresponding Nutshell record by ID. Rich-text formatting in FastTrack notes is preserved as HTML in Nutshell notes. Note create and update timestamps migrate with original values.
FastTrack
Custom Object
Nutshell
Custom Field / Junction Record
1:1FastTrack custom objects require transformation. If the FastTrack custom object represents a property of an existing Nutshell object (Person, Company, Lead, Deal), the data migrates as a Nutshell custom field on that object. If the FastTrack custom object has a many-to-many relationship, we create a junction record in Nutshell linking the two related objects. The mapping plan is delivered before migration runs.
FastTrack
User / Owner
Nutshell
User
1:1FastTrack users migrate by email match against Nutshell users. Active FastTrack users who have a corresponding Nutshell account (matched by email) retain their assignments. FastTrack users without a Nutshell match are flagged before migration — your team either creates Nutshell accounts for them or reassigns records to a fallback owner.
FastTrack
File / Attachment
Nutshell
File Attachment
1:1FastTrack file attachments on records migrate as file attachments in Nutshell. Files are downloaded from FastTrack and uploaded to Nutshell's storage. File size limits apply (Nutshell supports standard file sizes). Inline images in rich-text fields are downloaded and rehosted as Nutshell file attachments.
FastTrack
Workflow / Sequence
Nutshell
Not Migrated
1:1FastTrack workflows and sequences do not migrate. These automation constructs have no equivalent in Nutshell's data model and must be rebuilt manually in Nutshell or using Nutshell's automation tools. We export FastTrack workflow definitions as a structured JSON reference to assist your team in the rebuild.
FastTrack
Integration / Connection
Nutshell
Not Migrated
1:1FastTrack integrations (connected apps, third-party data sources, webhook endpoints) do not migrate. Each integration must be reconfigured in Nutshell's AppConnect marketplace or rebuilt using Nutshell's API. We document your active FastTrack integrations as part of the discovery phase and provide a rebuild checklist that maps each connection to its Nutshell equivalent.
FastTrack
Report / Dashboard
Nutshell
Report
1:1FastTrack reports and dashboards do not migrate. The underlying data migrates, but report definitions are platform-specific. We recommend rebuilding key reports in Nutshell after migration using the migrated data. Nutshell's native reporting tools support standard pipeline, activity, and performance reports that can be configured based on your migrated records.

FastTrack gotchas
Migration API rate limits throttle large imports
Corrupt or unreadable source items block migration
Export always runs to current date with no custom end date
Custom Event schema varies by plan tier
Enterprise implementation can take 1–2 months
Nutshell gotchas
Contact tier limits enforced on import
No bulk API endpoint requires paginated extraction
Email sequences not exportable via API

Migration approach
Audit FastTrack data model and extract via API
We connect to FastTrack's API (using their REST and GraphQL endpoints) to inventory all objects, custom fields, custom objects, event types, and user accounts. We profile record counts, identify custom property schemas, and map FastTrack custom object relationships. The audit report lists every FastTrack field, its data type, and whether it has a direct Nutshell equivalent. We also document active integrations, workflows, and any third-party connections that will need manual reconfiguration post-migration.
Design Nutshell schema and field mapping plan
Based on the FastTrack audit, we design the Nutshell schema: creating custom fields on People, Companies, Leads, and Deals; defining junction record structures for FastTrack custom objects; and mapping stage names to Nutshell deal stages. We deliver a field-level mapping document that lists every FastTrack field, its Nutshell destination, the mapping type (direct, transformed, custom_field_required), and any transformation notes. Your Nutshell admin reviews and approves the schema plan before any data moves.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
We migrate a representative sample (typically 100–500 records spanning people, companies, leads, deals, and activities) into your live Nutshell account. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values to destination values so you can verify that custom field mapping, stage name mapping, and owner resolution are working as expected. Any discrepancies are corrected in the mapping plan before the full run commits. This step validates data quality assumptions from the audit and ensures no fields are missed.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against Nutshell's JSON-RPC API. We sequence the load to respect foreign-key dependencies: Companies first, then People and Leads (linked to Companies), then Deals (linked to People and Companies), then Activities (linked to their parent records), then junction records. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after the initial load) captures any records created or modified in FastTrack during the cutover period. All records land in Nutshell with original create/update timestamps and owner assignments preserved.
Audit log, reconciliation, and rollback readiness
We generate a full audit log of every record migrated: source record ID, destination record ID, field mapping applied, and any exceptions flagged. Your team performs a reconciliation check against FastTrack record counts. If reconciliation fails, we provide a one-click rollback that removes migrated records from Nutshell without affecting your FastTrack source. Once reconciled, your team begins using Nutshell while FastTrack is decommissioned. We remain available for 5 business days post-migration to address any data discrepancies discovered during the transition period.
