Overview
LeadPrime to Nutshell is a migration from a lead-distribution specialist into a full-featured SMB CRM. LeadPrime excels at Round Robin, Shark Tank, and territory-based routing but limits deal management, forecasting, and public API access. Nutshell offers customizable pipelines from Growth tier ($25/user/mo), Round Robin assignment rules on Growth and above, a documented Import2 integration path, and a REST API for programmatic access. We migrate the full contact, company, lead, and activity record set, document every LeadPrime distribution rule for manual re-implementation in Nutshell, and flag Lead Finder Credits as a billing token that has no Nutshell equivalent. Workflows and automations are inventoried and not migrated as code.
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 LeadPrime 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.
LeadPrime
Lead
Nutshell
Lead
1:1LeadPrime Leads migrate directly to Nutshell Leads. Standard fields (name, email, phone, source) map 1:1 to Nutshell's Lead fields. Any custom fields on the Lead object are read during scoping, mapped to equivalent Nutshell Lead custom fields (text, long text, currency, date, or checkbox per Nutshell's supported types), and pre-created in the destination before import. Lead status and owner assignment migrate as-is. Where LeadPrime used a Lead Finder enrichment result stored as a custom field, that value migrates as a text field because Nutshell has no enrichment credit system to carry it forward.
LeadPrime
Contact
Nutshell
Person
1:1LeadPrime Contacts map to Nutshell People (the standard Nutshell term for individual contact records). Name, email, phone, title, and address fields migrate 1:1. Custom fields and tag assignments on the Contact are mapped to equivalent Nutshell People custom fields and tags. Any Lead-to-Contact conversion linkage in LeadPrime is preserved as a Person record with the original lead source tracked in a custom field.
LeadPrime
Company
Nutshell
Company
1:1LeadPrime Company records map directly to Nutshell Companies. Company name, industry, size, website, and address fields migrate 1:1. Custom fields on the Company object are pre-created in Nutshell before import. The Nutshell Company record is created before any linked Person records to satisfy the company-people relationship at insert time.
LeadPrime
User
Nutshell
User
1:1LeadPrime User records (sales reps, admins, managers) map to Nutshell User accounts by email match. Active/inactive status and any role assignments are preserved in a custom field. Owners without a matching Nutshell User are held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.
LeadPrime
Pipeline
Nutshell
Pipeline
lossyLeadPrime's multiple pipeline configurations map to Nutshell Pipelines. Foundation tier supports one pipeline; Pro ($42/user/mo) supports up to 5 pipelines; Enterprise ($79/user/mo) supports unlimited. We export the full pipeline topology from LeadPrime and recreate it in Nutshell with stage names and sequence preserved. If the customer requires more than one pipeline and is on Foundation, we flag this as a tier upgrade requirement before migration.
LeadPrime
Pipeline Stage
Nutshell
Pipeline Stage
lossyEach LeadPrime pipeline stage becomes a Nutshell pipeline stage with the same name and order. Stage-specific routing triggers in LeadPrime (stage-specific assignment rules) do not migrate as logic; they are documented as part of the distribution rule inventory for manual re-implementation in Nutshell's stage automation features.
LeadPrime
Lead Distribution Rules
Nutshell
Round Robin / Territory Assignment
1:1LeadPrime's Round Robin, Blind, Shark Tank, Hybrid, and territory-based distribution rules are stored as platform configuration, not as data records. We export the full rule definitions during scoping (criteria, weights, capacity limits, rep assignments, territory mappings) and deliver a written inventory document mapping each LeadPrime rule to a recommended Nutshell Round Robin or territory assignment configuration. Nutshell Growth and above support Round Robin; Nutshell Business and Enterprise support territory and team assignment. The customer's admin re-implements the rules post-migration based on the inventory.
LeadPrime
Activities
Nutshell
Activities
1:1Calls, emails, meetings, and notes logged against leads or contacts in LeadPrime migrate as Nutshell Activities. Activity type, timestamp, description, and owner assignment are preserved. Nutshell supports activity logging as a standard feature; engagement history migrates in chronological order by the original activity timestamp. If LeadPrime stored enrichment lookup results as a note or activity entry, those migrate as plain-text notes in Nutshell with the original timestamp preserved.
LeadPrime
Custom Fields
Nutshell
Custom Fields
1:1LeadPrime custom fields on Leads, Contacts, and Companies are per-organization schema elements. We read the full field list during scoping, identify each field's data type, and map to the equivalent Nutshell custom field type (text, long text, currency, date, checkbox, dropdown). Nutshell Foundation supports custom fields; Enterprise tier includes unlimited custom fields. We pre-create the destination fields before any record import to avoid schema mismatch errors.
LeadPrime
Tags
Nutshell
Tags
1:1LeadPrime tags migrate as flat label assignments on the respective Nutshell record (Lead, Person, or Company). Nutshell's tag system is flat rather than hierarchical, so any LeadPrime tag taxonomy with grouping or hierarchy is flattened to a flat label list and documented for the customer to reorganize in Nutshell if needed.
LeadPrime
Lead Finder Credits
Nutshell
None
1:1LeadPrime Lead Finder Credits are a platform-internal billing token for enrichment lookups and have no data equivalent in Nutshell. They do not represent contact records, historical enrichment results, or any migratable data artifact. We confirm the credit balance at cutover and recommend the customer download their credit purchase history separately for financial records. Any enrichment data already written to lead records (verified email, phone number) migrates as part of those records as standard custom fields.

Migration approach
Discovery and export path assessment
We audit the LeadPrime account across the full object inventory: Leads, Contacts, Companies, Users, custom fields on each object, tag assignments, pipeline count and stage names, and distribution rule definitions. We assess the available export paths (UI bulk export, any active integrations, or API probe if accessible) and document the row counts per object. We pair this with a Nutshell edition assessment: Foundation ($13/user) for single-pipeline use cases, Pro ($42/user) for teams needing up to five pipelines and sales automation, Business ($59/user) for territory and team assignment, Enterprise ($79/user) for unlimited pipelines and custom fields. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts and Nutshell tier recommendation.
Distribution rule inventory and documentation
We extract every LeadPrime distribution rule definition: routing type (Round Robin, Blind, Shark Tank, Hybrid, territory), assignment criteria, rep weights, daily or cycle caps, capacity limits, and territory or bucket assignments. We deliver a written distribution rule inventory that maps each LeadPrime rule to a recommended Nutshell Round Robin configuration (Growth tier and above) or territory/team assignment (Business tier and above). This document is the primary handoff artifact for the customer's admin to rebuild routing logic post-migration. We do not implement the rules in Nutshell as part of the migration scope.
Schema design and Nutshell tier provisioning
We design the destination schema in Nutshell based on the LeadPrime field inventory. This includes creating equivalent custom fields for every LeadPrime custom field on Leads, Contacts, and Companies, matching field types (text, long text, currency, date, checkbox, dropdown). We configure the pipeline and stage structure, mapping each LeadPrime pipeline to a Nutshell pipeline with stage names and sequence preserved. If the customer requires multiple pipelines and is on Foundation, we coordinate the tier upgrade before schema creation. We verify the Nutshell account is active and the migration user has sufficient permissions to create custom fields and import records.
Sample migration and reconciliation
We run a sample migration using a subset of records (typically 100-200 per object type) via Nutshell's Import2 tool or direct API insert. The customer's admin reviews the sample in Nutshell, verifies field mapping accuracy, confirms pipeline assignment, and checks that person-company linkages are correct. Any mapping corrections are applied before the full migration. The sample migration validates that the chosen export path (CSV bulk extract from LeadPrime) produces clean, complete records without data truncation or encoding issues.
Full production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Nutshell Users (validated against email matches), Companies (from LeadPrime Companies), People (from LeadPrime Contacts with CompanyId resolved), Leads (with owner assignment), pipeline and stage configuration (applied before or alongside record import), activities (calls, emails, meetings, notes) with timestamps preserved. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. Lead Finder Credit balance is confirmed and documented as non-migratable at this step. Custom fields and tags are applied per-record during the relevant phase insert.
Cutover, validation, and rule rebuild handoff
We freeze LeadPrime writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window. We deliver the complete distribution rule inventory document to the customer's admin team for re-implementation in Nutshell. We do not rebuild LeadPrime automations or routing logic as Nutshell rules inside the migration scope. We support a post-migration validation window where we resolve record count discrepancies and mapping errors raised by the customer's team. Nutshell's Import2 history log serves as the final reconciliation record for the migration.
