Migrate your NextCRM data
WordPress-native email CRM plugin with lifetime licensing and a built-in migration path from FluentCRM, Omnisend, and MailMint.
In its favor
Why people choose NextCRM
The signal that keeps NextCRM on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Lifetime license option with no monthly fees appeals to WordPress site owners who want cost predictability and own their software outright.
Migration tools built directly into the platform supporting FluentCRM, Omnisend, and MailMint make switching from those specific sources relatively quick, completing in 5–15 minutes for typical databases.
Visual Automation Builder on higher tiers enables sophisticated email sequences without requiring third-party automation tools.
Advanced Segmentation and Revenue Attribution features help email marketers move beyond basic contact lists toward behavior-driven campaigns.
WordPress plugin delivery means existing WordPress users can run the CRM within their existing site infrastructure without managing separate software.
Small team size and limited public API documentation make the platform unsuitable for businesses that need deep CRM-to-CRM integrations or programmatic data access.
WordPress dependency means organizations using non-WordPress tech stacks cannot adopt NextCRM without a significant infrastructure change.
The platform lacks enterprise-scale features such as multi-currency invoicing support or advanced user permissioning found in dedicated CRM platforms.

What gets migrated
NextCRM object support
Object-by-object support for NextCRM migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts
Fully supportedNextCRM preserves every contact along with custom field values during import. We map contact records directly and verify record counts match between source and destination during migration.
Tags
Fully supportedTags are preserved through migration using intelligent field mapping. We ensure tag assignments are transferred as-is without re-tagging required at the destination.
Lists/Segments
Fully supportedList membership and Advanced Segmentation rules transfer with contact records. Where segmentation logic cannot map 1:1, we document the source logic for manual recreation.
Custom Fields
Fully supportedCustom field definitions and their values migrate alongside contacts. We map custom field types to their nearest equivalents at the destination platform.
Automation Workflows
Not in this platformAutomation workflows built with the Visual Automation Builder do not export directly. We extract the structure and logic from each workflow and provide documentation for manual recreation at the destination. Active campaigns continue running in the source platform during cutover.
Invoices (Open-Source Edition)
Mapping requiredThe open-source nextcrm-app includes a full invoicing module with Invoice, Credit Note, Proforma, and Receipt types. Invoice series, line items, and tax engine data require field-level mapping to the destination's invoice schema.
Projects (Open-Source Edition)
Mapping requiredProject management is part of the open-source edition. Project records, task assignments, and status fields migrate but may require schema mapping depending on the destination platform.
Documents (Open-Source Edition)
Mapping requiredDocument storage attachments link to records. We migrate document metadata and file references; actual file storage depends on whether documents are hosted within NextCRM or linked externally.
Campaigns
Mapping requiredCampaign records transfer but active sends must be paused during migration. We preserve campaign structure and audience lists so campaigns can be re-created and resumed at the destination.
Email Sequences
Not in this platformEmail sequences and follow-up automations are tied to the Visual Automation Builder and do not export. We document sequence logic for manual rebuild at the destination.
