Overview
Moving from Intrix CRM to Nutshell is a shift from a vertically integrated SME platform that bundles project management and HRM into a single subscription to a focused sales CRM built for small and midsize teams. Intrix stores the relationship between Clients and Contacts as separate records; Nutshell uses Companies and People with an explicit link. We extract all Client and Contact records from Intrix's CSV exports, resolve the parent-Client relationship at migration time, and map it to the Company-to-Person link in Nutshell. Opportunities in Intrix map directly to Nutshell Deals with stage mapping against the customer's active pipeline configuration. Intrix Activities (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) migrate as Nutshell Activities with timestamps and owners preserved. Projects, Working Hours Records, and Support Tickets do not have native Nutshell equivalents and require manual rebuild or custom field configuration post-migration. Intrix has no public API, so every migration relies on manual CSV export from the Intrix UI, which adds planning time for accounts with more than 5,000 records.
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 Intrix CRM 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.
Intrix CRM
Client
Nutshell
Company
1:1Intrix Client records map 1:1 to Nutshell Companies. Standard fields (company name, industry, address, phone, website) migrate directly. The Client ID is preserved as an external reference field so that the original Intrix record can be identified during reconciliation. Company is imported before any Person or Deal record to satisfy Nutshell's required link from People to Companies.
Intrix CRM
Contact
Nutshell
Person
1:1Intrix Contact records map 1:1 to Nutshell People. Each Contact carries a reference to its parent Client; we resolve this to the Nutshell Company ID during import and set the Company link on every Person record. First name, last name, email, phone, title, and custom fields migrate as typed properties. Contacts without a valid parent Client are imported with a flag for manual Company assignment.
Intrix CRM
Opportunity
Nutshell
Deal
1:1Intrix Opportunities map directly to Nutshell Deals. Deal name, value, expected close date, stage, owner, and custom fields migrate 1:1. Stage names from Intrix are customer-specific and require a stage mapping table that we extract from the customer's active pipeline configuration and apply to Nutshell's Deal stage values.
Intrix CRM
Pipeline Stages
Nutshell
Deal Stages
lossyIntrix pipeline stages are customer-configurable with custom names and order. We extract the full stage definition per pipeline (stage name, position, probability if set) from the Intrix export and configure matching Deal Stages in Nutshell before any Deal records are imported. Stage probabilities round to Nutshell's supported integer format.
Intrix CRM
Activities (calls, emails, meetings, tasks)
Nutshell
Activities
1:1Intrix Activities (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) logged against Clients, Contacts, or Opportunities migrate as Nutshell Activities. Each Activity carries the original timestamp, owner, and description. Calls and tasks from Intrix map to Nutshell Activity with the type field set appropriately. Emails and meetings migrate as notes-style Activities with the original content preserved in the description field since Nutshell does not store threaded email history in the same structure as Intrix.
Intrix CRM
Projects
Nutshell
None (no native equivalent)
lossyIntrix Projects with task dependencies, deadline automation, and resource assignments have no native Nutshell equivalent. Nutshell is a sales CRM and does not include a project management module. We document every active Intrix Project as a written record with its tasks, dependencies, deadlines, and owners for the customer's admin to rebuild in their chosen project management tool post-migration.
Intrix CRM
Tasks
Nutshell
None (no native equivalent)
lossyIntrix Tasks with project dependencies cannot be imported as-is into Nutshell because Nutshell Tasks do not support predecessor dependency logic. We extract the full task list per project, including dependency order and completion status, and deliver it as a structured CSV inventory. The customer's admin recreates tasks manually or in their project management tool.
Intrix CRM
Working Hours Records (WHR)
Nutshell
None (no native equivalent)
lossyWHR data is only available on Intrix Advanced and Unlimited tiers. Nutshell has no native time-tracking module. We export WHR records as structured data and map them to a set of custom fields on Nutshell Person or Company records if the customer requires the data to remain in their CRM. Otherwise, we deliver a written WHR inventory with clock-in/clock-out timestamps, hours worked, and employee reference for manual entry or third-party time-tracking integration.
Intrix CRM
Custom Fields
Nutshell
Custom Properties
1:1Intrix custom fields on Clients, Contacts, Opportunities, and Activities migrate to Nutshell custom properties on the corresponding object (Company, Person, Deal, Activity). We extract the full custom field schema per object, map field types to Nutshell's supported property types (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox), and provision the custom properties in Nutshell before record import begins.
Intrix CRM
Attachments
Nutshell
Attachments
1:1Intrix stores file attachments per Client, Contact, or Project. We download attachments individually from the Intrix UI export and re-upload them to the corresponding Nutshell Company, Person, or Deal record. File-per-record structure means we handle each attachment separately during import, which adds time for accounts with more than 500 attachments.

Migration approach
Scoping and CSV export planning
We audit the Intrix account to identify which modules are active (Basic vs Advanced vs Unlimited), confirm the volume of records per object (Clients, Contacts, Opportunities, Activities, Projects, WHR, Support Tickets if applicable), and document the active pipeline stage configuration. We provide the customer with a step-by-step export checklist for each Intrix module so that CSVs are ready before migration begins. If the account is on a trial plan, we flag the 30-day data deletion risk and advise completing the export before the window closes.
CSV delivery review and data quality assessment
The customer delivers Intrix CSV exports to us. We run a data quality assessment: duplicate detection on Contact email addresses, missing required fields (name, email on Person records), invalid date formats, and orphaned records (Contacts without a parent Client). We produce a data quality report and a field mapping table that pairs each Intrix CSV column header to the corresponding Nutshell field. The customer approves the mapping before any import begins.
Nutshell custom field provisioning
We provision all required custom properties in Nutshell (Company, Person, Deal, Activity custom fields from the mapping table) before any record import. This includes setting property types (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox), defining dropdown option lists, and ensuring field-level visibility is set to writable for the migration user. Custom properties for WHR data are created here if the customer has chosen to store time records as CRM custom fields.
Company and Person import with relationship resolution
We import Intrix Clients as Nutshell Companies first, preserving the original Intrix Client ID as an external reference field. We then import Intrix Contacts as Nutshell People, resolving each Contact's parent Client ID to the corresponding Nutshell Company ID and setting the Person's Company field explicitly. Any Person records with unresolved parent Clients are flagged in a reconciliation report for the customer to resolve manually. Email deduplication runs at this stage.
Deal and Activity import
We import Intrix Opportunities as Nutshell Deals, applying the stage mapping table to set Deal stage values. Owner assignment resolves by matching Intrix Owner email to Nutshell User email. Activities (calls, emails, meetings, tasks) import last with timestamps and owner assignment preserved, linked to the corresponding Company and Person records. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, delta sync, and integration handoff
We freeze writes to Intrix during the cutover window, run a delta sync of any records modified during migration, and confirm all record counts in Nutshell match the source exports. We deliver a written inventory of all active Intrix integrations (MailChimp, Google Calendar, accounting tools), active Projects and task dependencies, and any WHR data that requires a third-party time-tracking tool. We do not rebuild Intrix Workflows, HRM automations, or Support Tickets in Nutshell; those are separate configuration work outside migration scope.
