Overview
Paradym is a real-estate-focused platform built around people, companies, and activities with SD-JWT credential templates — it does not ship a native deal pipeline or opportunity stage model. Nutshell is a structured CRM with separate People, Company, Lead, and Deal objects, each supporting custom fields and pipeline stages tied to specific team workflows. FlitStack AI reads Paradym's data via the REST API (api.paradym.id), extracts people records, company associations, and engagement activities, then maps them into Nutshell's People and Company objects — creating Deals from any deal-like records in Paradym and assigning them to Nutshell pipeline stages based on your configuration. Custom attributes that have no direct Nutshell equivalent are preserved as custom fields on the target object so nothing is silently dropped. Workflows, automations, and any credential-issuing logic built in Paradym do not migrate — those require manual rebuild in Nutshell or your downstream tools. The migration runs on read-only API access; your Paradym account stays fully operational during the cutover, and a 24–48 hour delta pickup window captures in-flight changes before go-live.
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 Paradym 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.
Paradym
Person (Paradym)
Nutshell
Person (Nutshell)
1:1Paradym's person records map 1:1 to Nutshell People. Name fields, email, phone, and address map directly. Owner resolution happens by email match against Nutshell users — unmatched owners are flagged before the migration commits any records. If no matching Nutshell user exists, FlitStack assigns the record to a designated fallback owner and logs the discrepancy in the pre-flight report for your admin to resolve post-migration.
Paradym
Person — role type 'lead'
Nutshell
Lead (Nutshell)
1:manyIf Paradym stores a role designation or tag indicating a record is an unqualified prospect, FlitStack routes it to Nutshell's Lead object rather than Person. The split rule is configurable per your Paradym tagging convention — your migration plan documents the rule before execution.
Paradym
Company (Paradym)
Nutshell
Company (Nutshell)
1:1Paradigm company records map to Nutshell Company objects with a direct 1:1 correspondence for standard fields. Company name, domain/website, and industry sector map directly to their Nutshell equivalents. If Paradym stores a parent-company relationship, it maps to Nutshell's Parent Company lookup field — the parent company record must migrate first so the foreign key resolves correctly, which FlitStack sequences automatically in the migration run order.
Paradym
Company — primary contact link
Nutshell
Person.Company lookup
1:1Paradym associates a person record with a company via an internal link. In Nutshell, each Person record has a single primary Company lookup. The most-recently-modified association becomes the primary; additional company associations are captured as a custom text field on the Person for admin reference.
Paradym
Deal / opportunity record (Paradym custom structure)
Nutshell
Deal (Nutshell)
1:1Paradym has no native deal object — deal-like records (deal name, amount, status) live in custom fields or as associated activity records. FlitStack extracts these into a Deal record in Nutshell, mapping deal name to Deal.Name and amount to Deal.Value. The target Nutshell pipeline and stage are assigned per your pre-migration stage-mapping configuration.
Paradym
Pipeline stage (Paradym custom field)
Nutshell
Pipeline Stage (Nutshell)
1:1Any stage-like values stored in Paradym custom fields are mapped value-by-value to Nutshell pipeline stage names. Nutshell pipelines are pre-created in your Nutshell account before the migration runs — FlitStack delivers the pipeline setup plan as part of the migration workbook so your admin creates the right stages in advance.
Paradym
Activity — email / call / meeting (Paradym engagement records)
Nutshell
Task / Event (Nutshell)
1:1Paradym engagement records (emails, calls, meetings) map to Nutshell Tasks (for emails and calls) and Events (for meetings). Original timestamps, subject, and linked person/company are preserved. The task owner resolves by email match — unresolved owners land under a migration service account for manual reassignment.
Paradym
Note (Paradym)
Nutshell
Note (Nutshell)
1:1Notes migrate as Nutshell Notes attached to the relevant Person, Company, or Deal record. Rich-text formatting is preserved where possible. Long notes that exceed Nutshell's display limit are truncated with a flag so your admin can review and split them manually post-migration.
Paradym
Custom attribute (Paradym nested attribute)
Nutshell
Custom field (Nutshell per-entity)
1:1Paradym nested object attributes and array attributes (e.g., person.name, address.street) that have no direct Nutshell equivalent are created as custom fields on the target Nutshell entity (Person, Company, or Lead). Nested values are flattened into a text or JSON field as appropriate. Nutshell's field-type constraints (text, number, date, picklist) determine the final storage format.
Paradym
File / attachment (Paradym blob)
Nutshell
File (Nutshell)
1:1Paradym stores files attached to credential templates and presentations. These are downloaded and re-uploaded to Nutshell's file storage. Files over Nutshell's 25 MB per-file limit are flagged for manual re-upload by your team. FlitStack generates a file-mapping manifest so nothing is lost during the re-upload step.
Paradym
Workflow / automation (Paradym sequence template)
Nutshell
Not migrated — manual rebuild
1:1Paradym credential sequences and automated follow-up triggers are platform logic, not data records. They cannot be extracted via the API in a form that Nutshell can consume. FlitStack exports the sequence configuration as a JSON reference document that your Nutshell admin uses to rebuild equivalent email sequences and workflow triggers in Nutshell Pro or Business.
Paradym
Credential template (Paradym SD-JWT VC)
Nutshell
Not migrated — reference record
1:1Paradym SD-JWT credential templates are a Paradigm-specific identity-issuance construct with no equivalent in Nutshell's CRM model. The template name and any associated metadata are preserved as a text custom field on the linked Person record so your team retains a reference to which credential template was previously associated with each contact.

Migration approach
Audit Paradym data volume and custom attribute structure
FlitStack connects to the Paradym REST API with read-only credentials and pulls a full export of all Person, Company, engagement activity, and attachment records. The audit identifies the count of each object, the inventory of custom nested attributes and array fields, any deal-status custom fields that will need stage mapping, and the attachment manifest. Results are delivered as a migration workbook — the baseline for every downstream mapping decision.
Configure Nutshell pipelines and custom fields before data arrives
FlitStack delivers a Nutshell setup plan specifying which pipelines and stages to create, which Nutshell custom fields to create on Person, Company, Lead, and Deal objects, and the value-mapping table for any Paradym stage-like pick-list values. Your Nutshell admin (or FlitStack, if you grant access) creates these in Nutshell before the migration run so validation does not fail on the first bulk insert.
Resolve owners and prepare user email cross-reference
Paradym owner IDs are matched against Nutshell user email addresses. FlitStack runs a pre-flight owner resolution report: any Paradym owner with no matching Nutshell user is flagged in the migration workbook with a recommendation (invite the user to Nutshell first, or assign records to a designated fallback owner). No record lands in Nutshell without a resolved owner — unassigned records are held in a staging queue until your team decides.
Run sample migration and deliver field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–300 records covering a cross-section of people, companies, deals, and activities — migrates to Nutshell in a test environment or a dedicated Nutshell sandbox. FlitStack generates a field-level diff showing every source field, the mapped Nutshell field, the transformed value, and any fields that could not map directly. You review the diff, approve or adjust the mapping rules, and FlitStack incorporates changes before the full run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full export runs against Nutshell's JSON-RPC API with batched requests respecting rate limits. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours runs after the main load, capturing any Paradym records created or modified during the cutover. FlitStack generates an audit log of every insert, update, and skip operation. One-click rollback reverts all Nutshell records if reconciliation counts do not match the Paradym source totals.
Deliver post-migration package and rebuild reference
FlitStack delivers the final reconciliation report confirming all record counts and any skipped or flagged items, the attachment re-upload checklist with file manifest and size flags, the Paradym workflow export JSON reference document capturing all sequence configurations and trigger logic for admin rebuild, and the post-migration reporting guide documenting Original_Create_Date__c usage in Nutshell report filters. FlitStack support remains available for 14 days post-delivery for any data questions, supplemental field corrections, or follow-up mapping adjustments your team identifies after go-live.
