Overview
Moving from Lime Go to Nutshell is a cross-regional migration from a Nordic-focused CRM to a US-based all-in-one platform with different data architectures. Lime Go organizes data around Customers (company-level), Contacts (person-level), and Deals with a visual pipeline; Nutshell uses People, Companies, and Leads/Deals with a unified People record that can serve as both prospect and customer. The primary complexity is Lime Go's lack of a publicly documented REST API with rate limits, which we handle through export-based extraction and conservative request pacing. We also preserve GDPR consent history from Lime Go as custom fields in Nutshell, flag Nutshell's custom field search limitations that affect data auditing post-migration, and separate Lime Go's built-in Nordic company enrichment database (read-only enrichment, not migratable CRM data) from standard record migrations. Saved filters, manual email associations, and workflow configurations do not transfer; we deliver written inventories for admin rebuild.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Lime Go 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.
Lime Go
Customer
Nutshell
Company (or Person as Company)
1:1Lime Go Customers (company-level records) map to Nutshell Company records. Lime Go Customer properties including company name, address, phone, industry, custom fields, and tags migrate to the corresponding Nutshell Company fields. If the customer uses Lime Go's unified Customer-Contact model without separate Company records, we create Nutshell Company records from the Customer data and link them to Person records. The Lime Technologies move-to-go tool also supports Organizations as a separate entity from Persons, which aligns with Nutshell's Company distinction.
Lime Go
Contact
Nutshell
Person
1:1Lime Go Contacts map to Nutshell People records. Full field fidelity is preserved including first name, last name, email, phone, title, custom properties, owner assignment, and GDPR consent flags. Nutshell's People record can serve as both individual contact and organizational representative. We resolve the link to the Nutshell Company record that was created from the corresponding Lime Go Customer using domain-based matching or explicit company name matching.
Lime Go
Sales Pipeline
Nutshell
Pipeline
lossyLime Go visual adjustable sales pipelines with configurable stages map to Nutshell's pipeline structure. We preserve stage names, order, and probability settings during migration. If Lime Go has multiple pipelines configured, these map to separate Nutshell pipelines or to pipeline stages within a single Nutshell pipeline depending on the customer's chosen Nutshell plan tier.
Lime Go
Deal
Nutshell
Lead or Deal
1:1Lime Go Deals map to Nutshell Deals or Leads depending on deal stage and customer preference. Active sales deals map to Nutshell Deals with value, expected close date, owner, and linked Company/Person preserved. Deals that are early-stage prospect entries can map to Nutshell Leads if the customer prefers to use Nutshell's Lead object for early pipeline entries. Closed-won and closed-lost deal history migrates with stage history preserved as deal activity.
Lime Go
Activity
Nutshell
Task or Note
1:1Lime Go Activities (touchpoints logged against Customers, Contacts, or Deals) map to Nutshell Tasks or Notes depending on activity type. Phone calls map to Tasks with call disposition preserved; meetings map to Tasks with attendee information; general touchpoints map to Notes attached to the corresponding Person or Company. Activity timestamps and author information migrate to preserve the timeline view in Nutshell.
Lime Go
Task
Nutshell
Task
1:1Lime Go Tasks including assignee, due date, status, priority, and description migrate to Nutshell Tasks. Lime Go's limitation on batch task operations does not affect how we structure migrated records. Open tasks migrate with their current status; completed tasks migrate with completion timestamps. Recurring tasks in Lime Go map to Nutshell repeating tasks where the destination platform supports them.
Lime Go
Reminder
Nutshell
Task
1:1Lime Go Reminders attached to Contacts, Customers, or Deals map to Nutshell Tasks with the reminder timestamp preserved as the task due date. The notification context (linked record type and ID) migrates as a link to the corresponding Nutshell Person or Company. Recurring reminders in Lime Go map to Nutshell repeating tasks.
Lime Go
History Note
Nutshell
Note
1:1Lime Go History Notes (chronological interaction records per Customer or Contact) map to Nutshell Notes attached to the corresponding Person or Company record. Full note text, author, timestamp, and any associated attachments migrate. Attachments to history notes become Nutshell file attachments on the Note record or linked ContentDocument records.
Lime Go
Document
Nutshell
Attachment
1:1Documents attached to Lime Go Customers, Contacts, or Deals are extracted and linked to the corresponding Nutshell Person, Company, or Deal record. File names, upload timestamps, and file types are preserved. Large binary files (over 10MB) may require chunked upload handling depending on Nutshell's attachment API limits at the time of migration.
Lime Go
Custom Field
Nutshell
Custom Field
lossyLime Go custom fields on Customers, Contacts, and Deals vary by tenant. We discover the tenant schema during scoping, map field types (text, number, date, picklist, checkbox) to Nutshell custom field equivalents. A known limitation: Nutshell's API does not support searching by custom field value, which affects post-migration data auditing workflows. We flag this during scoping so the customer can plan alternative data lookup processes. Unmapped custom field types are documented for admin review.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the source Lime Go tenant across record types (Customers, Contacts, Deals, Activities, Tasks, Documents), custom field schemas, pipeline configurations, and GDPR consent record volumes. We extract owner assignments and verify that Lime Go credentials have sufficient access for data export. Nutshell's supported import sources list (via Import2 partnership) does not include Lime Go, confirming that a custom migration approach is required. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts per object, custom field inventory, and a flag of any Lime Go records that may require GDPR anonymisation before export.
Schema design for Nutshell
We design the destination schema in Nutshell. This includes provisioning custom fields (with Lime Go field types mapped to Nutshell equivalents), configuring the pipeline stages to match Lime Go's stage names and probabilities, setting up any required Company and Person record types, and creating the GDPR consent custom fields on Person records. Nutshell's API limitations (particularly the inability to search by custom field value) are flagged during design so the customer can plan alternative reporting workflows.
Data extraction with conservative pacing
We extract data from Lime Go using available API endpoints and export capabilities with conservative request pacing to avoid undocumented throttling. Records are extracted in dependency order: Customers first (to create Nutshell Companies), then Contacts (with parent Customer resolved to Nutshell Company), then Deals (with linked Company and Contact resolved), then Activities, Tasks, Reminders, History Notes, and Documents. GDPR consent records are extracted separately and mapped to the custom consent fields created in Nutshell. The Nordic enrichment database is extracted as a separate reference file but not imported as CRM records.
Data transformation and consent preservation
We transform Lime Go records to match Nutshell's schema. This includes mapping Lime Go custom field values to Nutshell custom fields, converting date formats, resolving Lime Go owner email addresses to Nutshell user accounts, and splitting Lime Go's Customer-Contact model into Nutshell's Company-Person structure. GDPR consent records are transformed into Nutshell custom consent fields with the full timeline (granted, withdrawn, timestamps) preserved. Any Lime Go records with anonymisation flags are flagged in the migration report and excluded from Nutshell import to avoid GDPR re-identification risk.
Validation and sandbox import
We run a test import into the customer's Nutshell environment using a subset of records (typically 50-100 per object type) to validate field mapping, ownership resolution, and pipeline stage alignment. The customer reviews the imported records and confirms mapping accuracy before the full production migration begins. Corrections to field mappings, custom field creation, or pipeline stage configuration happen during this validation window.
Production migration and cutover
We run the full production migration in record-dependency order with real-time reconciliation against source record counts. Documents are uploaded in a parallel stream with linking to the corresponding Nutshell records. After the primary migration, we run a delta migration to capture any records modified during the cutover window. We freeze Lime Go writes during cutover, then enable Nutshell as the system of record. We deliver the GDPR consent field documentation, saved filter inventory (for manual recreation), and any workflow or automation notes as a written handoff document.
