Overview
LockedOn is a real estate CRM built around properties, vendors, and task automation — its data model centers on Listings, Vendors, and OFI (Open for Inspection) workflows. Mailchimp is an email marketing platform where the data model centers on Audiences, Members, Tags, and Segments. These platforms serve fundamentally different purposes: one manages the sales process, the other manages email communication at scale. Migrating from LockedOn to Mailchimp requires extracting contacts with their property associations, company data, and activity history, then reshaping that data into Mailchimp's flat audience-member structure with merge fields and tag-based segmentation. FlitStack AI pulls LockedOn data via API, maps contact fields to Mailchimp merge fields (FNAME, LNAME, EMAIL, PHONE, COMPANY), translates property associations into tags and custom fields, and loads contacts into your Mailchimp audience. Real estate-specific objects like Listings, OFI records, and Triggers have no Mailchimp equivalent — those must be documented separately for rebuild reference. The migration carries everything LockedOn stores natively (contacts, companies, activities, custom properties) into Mailchimp's audience-member model, preserving original timestamps and owner email addresses for attribution continuity.
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 LockedOn object lands in Mailchimp, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
LockedOn
Contact
Mailchimp
Member
1:1LockedOn Contact maps directly to Mailchimp Member within an Audience. Email address is the unique identifier — all other fields map as merge fields or custom fields. Contacts without email addresses are flagged for manual review before import. Each contact's original createdate is preserved as a custom datetime field for historical continuity, and owner email becomes an AGENT_EMAIL custom field for attribution.
LockedOn
Company
Mailchimp
Merge Field (COMPANY)
1:1LockedOn Company names populate the COMPANY merge field on the Mailchimp Member record. Since Mailchimp lacks a native Company object, all company-level data denormalizes onto the contact record. For contacts with multiple company associations, secondary companies are tracked using tag-based naming conventions like 'Company:AcmeCorp' to preserve the full relationship context within Mailchimp's segmentation capabilities.
LockedOn
Property / Listing
Mailchimp
Custom Field + Tag
1:1LockedOn Listings have no Mailchimp equivalent — property status, price, address, and listing type become custom fields on the Member record. Active listing status is also applied as a tag so segments can filter by property interest without relying on custom field queries. Multiple listings per contact generate multiple tags for comprehensive property interest tracking.
LockedOn
OFI Record (Open for Inspection)
Mailchimp
Tag + Custom Field
1:1OFI attendance data — including inspection date, property address, and attendee status — migrates as custom fields on the Member record. Tags encode the full inspection history in a segmentable format, using conventions like 'OFI-Attended-2024-03-15' or 'OFI-NoShow-2024-04-20' so Mailchimp's filtering tools can query attendance patterns across any date range.
LockedOn
Vendor
Mailchimp
Tag + Custom Field
1:1LockedOn Vendor records representing landlords, sellers, contractors, and other service providers are converted to tags on Member records. Vendor-specific metadata such as commission status, property count, and service category migrate as custom fields on the contact. Multiple vendor roles per contact are supported through tag stacking, allowing each role to be tracked and segmented independently.
LockedOn
Deal / Pipeline Stage
Mailchimp
Tag + Segment
1:1LockedOn deal stages including Listed, Under Offer, Sold, and Leased map to tags on the Member record, enabling Mailchimp segments to filter contacts by pipeline position. The deal amount and expected close date also migrate as custom fields for revenue-tracking and follow-up cadence segments. Active deals generate stage-specific tags updated as status changes.
LockedOn
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Note)
Mailchimp
Activity Note + Tag
1:1LockedOn activity history covering calls, emails, meetings, and notes cannot directly populate Mailchimp's activity timeline due to platform differences. The most recent activity date and type are stored as custom fields on the Member, and a consolidated activity-summary tag preserves context for agents reviewing high-value contacts in Mailchimp without requiring access to the original LockedOn record.
LockedOn
Trigger / Automated Task
Mailchimp
N/A
1:1LockedOn Triggers including post-enquiry follow-up tasks, anniversary reminders, and OFI completion workflows have no direct Mailchimp equivalent. These automation rules must be rebuilt as Mailchimp Customer Journeys after migration. FlitStack exports complete trigger definitions — firing conditions, associated actions, and timing rules — as a structured rebuild-reference document for your Mailchimp admin to use during Journey reconstruction.
LockedOn
Bulk Communication / Template
Mailchimp
Mailchimp Campaign Template
1:1LockedOn bulk email templates use CRM-context merge fields and design formats that do not export in Mailchimp-compatible HTML or template formats. Each template must be rebuilt in Mailchimp's campaign template builder. FlitStack documents every template's field names, content structure, conditional logic, and layout hierarchy as a systematic reference guide to support the reconstruction effort.
LockedOn
Custom Property (Contact-level)
Mailchimp
Custom Field
1:1LockedOn custom contact properties migrate to Mailchimp custom fields with data type preservation where feasible — text fields to text custom fields, dates to date fields, and pick-lists to option-based custom fields. Pick-list fields with many values may need conversion to tags for improved segment-filtering performance. All value mappings are documented during the schema audit phase before migration execution.

Migration approach
Extract LockedOn data via API with schema audit
FlitStack connects to LockedOn using scoped API credentials and extracts all contact records, company records, listing associations, OFI records, vendor data, and custom properties. We run a schema audit comparing your LockedOn field inventory against Mailchimp's available merge fields and custom field limits (400 custom fields per audience). The audit output identifies which LockedOn objects need to become custom fields, which need to become tags, and which have no viable Mailchimp destination — those go into a rebuild-reference document.
Define tag strategy and audience segmentation plan
Before any data loads, we work with you to define a Mailchimp tag taxonomy that preserves the segmentation value of LockedOn's property associations, deal stages, and OFI attendance. We recommend separating tags into categories (property-type, deal-stage, agent-owner, OFI-status) so Mailchimp segments can filter cleanly. Custom field types are locked in at this stage — changing a custom field type after import requires deleting and recreating it.
Map and transform data with field-level validation
LockedOn contacts are mapped to Mailchimp Members with merge fields (FNAME, LNAME, EMAIL, PHONE, COMPANY, ADDRESS) and custom fields for real estate-specific data. Property associations become tags and custom fields. Deal stages become stage tags and a DEAL_STAGE custom field. Owner email becomes an AGENT_EMAIL custom field. We run a field-level validation pass against a sample of 200–500 contacts before the full migration runs, checking for missing emails, malformed addresses, and pick-list value mismatches.
Load contacts with delta-pickup window
The full migration loads all validated contacts into your Mailchimp audience via the Mailchimp API. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any contacts created or modified in LockedOn during the cutover period so the Mailchimp audience reflects the final source state. All imports are logged with source record IDs for audit and de-duplication. One-click rollback is available if the initial load encounters schema mismatches or Mailchimp API errors.
Deliver rebuild-reference package for LockedOn automations and templates
After data migration completes, FlitStack delivers a rebuild-reference document covering every LockedOn Trigger definition, bulk email template, and vendor-report configuration. This document lists the trigger name, firing conditions, associated actions, and the Mailchimp Customer Journey equivalent where one exists. Your Mailchimp admin uses this reference to reconstruct automation logic in Journey Builder. Template rebuild is out of scope for data migration but the reference document makes the scope visible for a separate template project.
