How long does a Funnel Leasing to Nutshell migration take?

Most Funnel Leasing to Nutshell migrations complete in 48–72 hours for setups with under 25,000 total records (Prospects, Properties, Leases, and Activities combined). Larger portfolios with 100,000+ records or setups with extensive custom properties on Prospects and Properties extend to 7–10 days. The longest planning step is creating the Nutshell custom fields for all rental-specific data (unit counts, lease dates, pet policies) — this is done before migration begins and can take 1–2 days of your admin's time.

Will my Funnel Leasing automations — Prospect AI, Resident AI, renewal sequences, and AI message flows — migrate to Nutshell?

No. FlitStack AI migrates data and schema only — Funnel's AI leasing automations, Prospect AI message routing, Resident AI renewal workflows, and Voice AI call summaries do not transfer to Nutshell because they are tied to Funnel's event model and lifecycle stages that have no equivalent in Nutshell. We export your Funnel automation definitions as a structured JSON reference document listing every trigger and action, which your Nutshell admin uses to rebuild equivalent automation in Nutshell's sequence and task-automation tools.

What does a Funnel Lease become in Nutshell?

Funnel Leases (lease ID, unit number, start/end dates, monthly rent, security deposit, and renewal status) have no native equivalent in Nutshell. We migrate each active or recent lease as a set of custom fields on the corresponding Nutshell Person record: Lease_ID__c, Unit_Number__c, Lease_Start__c, Lease_End__c, Monthly_Rent__c, Security_Deposit__c, and Renewal_Status__c. If a resident has signed leases at multiple properties, each lease creates a separate Person record with its own lease field set. Renewal outreach is handled by creating follow-up tasks or sequences in Nutshell tied to the Lease_End__c date.

Can I migrate Funnel Properties and Units to Nutshell?

Yes, Funnel Properties map to Nutshell Companies (name, address, phone, website carry over directly). Unit data — total unit count, unit types, floor plans — stores as custom fields on the Nutshell Company record (e.g., Total_Units__c, Property_Type__c). Individual Unit records in Funnel (e.g., a specific apartment number and floor) map to the Unit_Number__c custom field on the Person record linked to that Company, since Nutshell has no sub-object hierarchy for units under a property. Multi-unit prospecting workflows that track availability by specific unit require a custom Nutshell setup.

Does the migration affect my Funnel Leasing account during cutover?

No. FlitStack AI connects to Funnel Leasing via scoped read-only API access throughout the migration. Your team keeps full access to Funnel Leasing — creating new Prospects, logging activities, and updating lease statuses. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records modified or created during the cutover window, ensuring Nutshell reflects Funnel's final state at go-live. No data is written back to Funnel during the migration.

What happens to my Funnel Prospect renter scores and qualification data?

Funnel Leasing's renter qualification scores, budget ranges, bedroom preferences, and desired move-in dates are custom properties on the Prospect object. We migrate these as custom fields on the Nutshell Person record: Renter_Score__c, Budget_Range__c, Bedroom_Preference__c, Desired_Move_In__c. Your Nutshell admin can use these fields to build filters, segments, or automation triggers. Funnel's AI-driven qualification logic (Prospect AI's automated scoring) does not transfer — that requires rebuilding in Nutshell via custom fields, scoring rules, or a third-party enrichment tool.

How does Nutshell's per-user contact limit affect a Funnel migration?

Nutshell plans impose contact limits that scale with tier (Foundation starts at a small cap; Pro and Business support larger databases). Funnel counts every Prospect, resident, and former renter in the portfolio. If your Funnel database exceeds the target Nutshell plan's contact limit, your team must upgrade before migration or we scope a filtered migration (active Prospects and residents only, with former renters exported to CSV for offline reference). FlitStack audits your Funnel record count during discovery and flags any contact-limit risk before migration begins.

Can I migrate Funnel's omnichannel activity history (calls, texts, emails) into Nutshell?

Yes. Funnel logs calls, emails, and texts against Prospects as Activities with timestamps, direction (inbound/outbound), and content. These migrate as Nutshell Activities attached to the corresponding Person record, preserving the original timestamp, owner, and full activity body. The Funnel channel type (call, email, text) maps to the Nutshell Activity type. If Funnel captured AI-generated call summaries or transcript excerpts, these are stored in the Activity note field. Files attached to activities (e.g., voicemail recordings) are downloaded and re-attached to the corresponding Nutshell Activity.

Funnel Leasing to Nutshell Migration — Field-Level Mapping & Rollback

Overview

What this migration involves

Funnel Leasing organizes data around the rental property lifecycle: Prospects (renters inquiring about units), Properties (the apartment communities), Units (individual apartments within properties), and Leases (signed rental agreements). Nutshell uses a traditional People–Companies–Deals model with no native concept of rental units or lease terms. FlitStack AI maps Funnel Prospects to Nutshell People (or Leads for early-stage contacts), Properties to Nutshell Companies with custom fields for unit counts and property type, and Leases to custom fields on the Person record since Nutshell has no deal object that represents a rental contract. Activities — calls, emails, and texts logged against Funnel Prospects — migrate as Nutshell Activities attached to the corresponding Person record. The migration runs via Funnel's REST API, pulling all standard objects plus any custom properties exposed through their API. We run a test migration first (typically 50–200 records), generate a field-level diff showing every mapped and unmapped field, then execute the full migration with a 24–48 hour delta window to capture records modified during cutover. Funnel Leasing automations — AI message flows, leasing-agent routing, and renewal sequences — do not transfer; we export workflow definitions as a structured JSON reference so your Nutshell admin can rebuild the logic in Nutshell's automation builder.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Funnel Leasing

What's pushing teams away

Enterprise pricing lacks transparency, requiring a sales conversation with no published pricing for the Full Funnel tier, making budget forecasting difficult for large portfolios.
Third-party BI integrations like Tableau and Snowflake are not included in base pricing and add significant cost, frustrating data teams that need native analytics.
Operators with highly differentiated property types or small portfolios report that the centralized model works best for uniform mid-to-large portfolios and can be overkill for niche operators.
Support model changes over time have frustrated some customers who report reduced support access compared to earlier pricing tiers, particularly for mid-market accounts.

Choosing

Nutshell

What's pulling them in

Lowest cost entry point among mid-market CRMs—Foundation plan starts at $13/user/month, making it accessible for teams validating CRM fit before committing.
Integrated sales automation and email sequencing on Pro plans without requiring a separate email marketing platform, per verified Capterra reviews.
Consistently praised for intuitive interface and fast onboarding, with case studies reporting 100% team adoption rates within initial deployment periods.
Strong customer support responsiveness cited across G2 reviews, with dedicated support tiers available on Enterprise plans.
Native integrations with WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and Slack reduce reliance on third-party middleware for common communication channels.

Object mapping

How Funnel Leasing objects map to Nutshell

Each row shows how a Funnel Leasing 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.

Funnel Leasing

Prospect

maps to

Nutshell

Person (or Lead)

1:many

Fully supported

Funnel Prospects with status 'New Inquiry' or 'Tour Requested' map to Nutshell Leads. Prospects who have progressed to 'Application' or beyond map to Nutshell People. The split ensures early-stage contacts enter Nutshell's lead nurturing flow, while active renters land directly in the People object for account management.

Funnel Leasing

Prospect – Agent Assignment

maps to

Nutshell

Person – Owner

1:1

Fully supported

Funnel stores a leasing agent assigned to each Prospect. We resolve the agent by email against Nutshell users and assign OwnerId. Unmatched agents (e.g., the agent no longer works at your company) are flagged before migration and assigned to a fallback owner or a dedicated 'Legacy Agent' Nutshell user.

Funnel Leasing

Property

maps to

Nutshell

Company

1:1

Fully supported

Funnel Properties map to Nutshell Companies. The Property Name becomes the Company Name; address fields map directly to address fields on the Company record. Unit count, property type (e.g., Class A, garden-style), and year built migrate as custom fields on the Company.

Funnel Leasing

Unit

maps to

Nutshell

Company – Custom Field

1:1

Fully supported

Funnel Units are subordinate to Properties — a Property has N Units. Nutshell Companies have no Unit sub-object. We store the primary unit count on the Property-as-Company as a custom field (e.g., Total_Units__c). For multi-unit prospecting tracking, a custom junction object or separate Nutshell custom object may be needed.

Funnel Leasing

Lease

maps to

Nutshell

Person – Custom Fields

1:1

Fully supported

Funnel Leases (lease ID, unit reference, start date, end date, monthly rent, security deposit, renewal status) have no native equivalent in Nutshell. We attach these as custom fields on the Person record: Lease_Start__c, Lease_End__c, Monthly_Rent__c, Unit_Number__c, Security_Deposit__c. Each Person can have one active lease record; multiple leases require multiple Person records or a custom Lease object.

Funnel Leasing

Activity – Email, Call, Text

maps to

Nutshell

Activity

1:1

Fully supported

Funnel logs omnichannel communications (emails, calls, texts) against Prospects. These migrate as Nutshell Activities attached to the corresponding Person record, preserving the original timestamp, owner, and direction (inbound/outbound). The activity body and disposition are stored in the Activity description or a linked custom field.

Funnel Leasing

Prospect – Source / Campaign

maps to

Nutshell

Person – Custom Field + Campaign Member

1:1

Fully supported

Funnel tracks how each Prospect entered (organic, paid search, referral, ILS listing). We preserve this as a custom field on the Person (Lead_Source__c). If Funnel captured campaign membership, we create or link a Nutshell Campaign and add the Person as a Campaign Member.

Funnel Leasing

Custom Property – Prospect

maps to

Nutshell

Person – Custom Field

1:1

Fully supported

Funnel allows custom properties on Prospects (e.g., 'Qualified_Renter_Score', 'Bedroom_Preference', 'Budget_Range'). We create matching custom fields on the Nutshell Person object before migration and populate them directly. Field type mapping is preserved: text → text, number → number, pick-list → pick-list with value mapping.

Funnel Leasing

Custom Property – Property

maps to

Nutshell

Company – Custom Field

1:1

Fully supported

Funnel supports custom fields on Properties (e.g., 'Amenity_Flags', 'Pet_Policy', 'Parking_Type'). These map to custom fields on the corresponding Nutshell Company record. Multi-select pick-lists in Funnel are mapped to multi-select or text custom fields in Nutshell depending on the target field type available.

Funnel Leasing

Attachment / File

maps to

Nutshell

Activity – Attachment

1:1

Fully supported

Files attached to Funnel Prospects or Properties (e.g., ID documents, lease PDFs, property photos) are downloaded and re-uploaded as attachments on the corresponding Nutshell Activity or Company record. File size limits and supported formats match Nutshell's attachment constraints (typically up to 25MB per file).

Pair-specific challenges

Funnel Leasing property data has no native Nutshell object — custom fields are required for every rental-specific attribute

Nutshell is a standard SMB CRM with no concept of apartment units, lease terms, or rental property hierarchies. Every Funnel property attribute that has no standard CRM equivalent — unit count, pet policy, property class, lease start/end dates, monthly rent, security deposit, renewal status — must be created as a custom field on the Nutshell Company or Person record before migration. This is not a data loss scenario; the data migrates correctly. But the schema setup (custom field creation in Nutshell) must happen before the import runs. FlitStack delivers a custom field creation plan as part of the migration package, but Nutshell account admin access is required to create the fields.
Funnel's renter-centric model does not map 1:1 to Nutshell's person–company split for multi-property renters

In Funnel Leasing, a single Prospect can be associated with multiple Properties and have multiple active Leases across different communities. Nutshell People are individual contacts and Companies are business entities. When a renter has signed leases at two properties, there is no native way to represent the N:1 Person-to-Company relationship with multiple lease records on a single Person. FlitStack's approach is to create one Nutshell Person per active lease, storing the lease-specific data on that Person record. If a Nutshell Person needs to reference multiple Properties (Companies), this requires a custom junction object or a manual secondary linking step after migration. We flag this scenario in the pre-migration plan so your team can decide on the linking strategy.
Funnel AI leasing automations and Prospect AI flows do not transfer — rebuild required in Nutshell or external tooling

Funnel Leasing's core value proposition includes Prospect AI (automated messaging based on renter lifecycle), Resident AI (renewal outreach and rent increase notifications), and Voice AI (call routing and AI summaries). These automations are tied to Funnel's event model and renter lifecycle stages. Nutshell's automation is limited to personal email sequences triggered by pipeline stage changes and task creation. There is no equivalent to Funnel's AI leasing agent, automated follow-up based on unit availability, or renewal workflow with dynamic rent increase logic. FlitStack exports Funnel workflow definitions as a JSON reference document. Your Nutshell admin uses this to rebuild equivalent automation in Nutshell or via a third-party tool connected to Nutshell's API.
Nutshell's contact limit tiers can create billing surprises if Funnel portfolio size exceeds the planned Nutshell tier

Nutshell plans have per-user contact limits: Foundation starts at a small contact cap with modest tiers; Pro and Business handle larger databases. Funnel Leasing counts contacts as Prospects, Residents, and former renters across the entire portfolio. If your Funnel database includes a large historical renter pool (former residents kept for renewal outreach), the Nutshell plan you select must have a contact limit that accommodates all migrated records. FlitStack audits the total Funnel record count during discovery and flags a contact-limit risk before migration. If the count exceeds a plan tier, your team upgrades before migration or we scope a filtered migration (e.g., active leases and prospects only) with former renters handled separately.
Funnel's per-unit pricing and Nutshell's per-user pricing are structurally different — total cost comparison requires a full-stack analysis

Funnel Leasing pricing is based on the number of units in your portfolio ($2.05–$3.70/unit/month). Nutshell pricing is based on the number of user seats ($13–$79/user/month). For operators with large portfolios but small leasing teams, the per-unit model may be more expensive than Nutshell's per-user model. However, Funnel's pricing includes AI leasing agents and omnichannel communication tools that would require separate subscriptions in Nutshell (or a third-party tool). We disclose this pricing structure difference in the migration plan but do not recommend one over the other — your team evaluates the total cost based on the specific Nutshell plan and any add-ons required to replicate Funnel's feature set.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Funnel Leasing to Nutshell data migration

Audit Funnel Leasing data via API and build the migration map

FlitStack connects to your Funnel Leasing account via API and exports all standard objects (Prospects, Properties, Units, Leases, Activities) plus any custom properties. We identify the full field inventory on each object and flag anything that lacks a native Nutshell equivalent. The output is a Migration Plan document listing every object, every field, the mapping type, and which fields require Nutshell custom field creation. Your Nutshell admin reviews the plan and creates the required custom fields before we proceed.
Resolve owners and link Properties to Companies

Funnel Leasing assigns a leasing agent to each Prospect. We match the Funnel agent email against Nutshell users by email. For any agent not yet a Nutshell user, we flag the record and your team either invites the agent to Nutshell or assigns the records to a fallback owner before migration. Simultaneously, we map each Funnel Property to a Nutshell Company, creating the Company record first so that cross-references resolve correctly when Prospects (as People) are migrated and linked to the correct Company.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff

A representative sample (typically 50–200 records covering a mix of Prospects at different Funnel stages, Properties, and Leases) migrates into Nutshell. We generate a field-level diff showing every mapped field, its source value in Funnel, and the resulting value in Nutshell. You verify that lease custom fields populated correctly, that Prospects split into the right Nutshell object (Lead vs. Person), and that activity history attached to the correct Person. Any mapping adjustments are made before the full migration runs.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

The full Funnel dataset migrates into Nutshell. During cutover your team continues working in Funnel Leasing — FlitStack maintains scoped read access throughout. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any new Prospects, updated lease statuses, or new activities created during the cutover. The audit log records every operation. If reconciliation finds discrepancies (e.g., a Prospect was updated in Funnel after migration but before delta-pickup), we re-migrate only the affected records.
Deliver workflow reference document and post-migration support

FlitStack exports Funnel's automation definitions as a structured JSON reference document listing every workflow, its trigger events (e.g., 'Prospect reaches Tour Requested stage', 'Lease within 90 days of end date'), and its associated actions (send message, assign agent, update stage). Your Nutshell admin uses this document to rebuild equivalent automation in Nutshell's sequence and task-automation tools. We remain available for a 14-day post-migration support window to address any data quality issues discovered after go-live.
