Overview
Property Raptor is a real estate CRM built on Salesforce infrastructure — it stores contacts, companies, listings, opportunities with deal stages, and activity history across the full property sales cycle. Mailchimp is an audience-centric email marketing platform: it holds contacts in Audiences, enriches them with merge fields, segments them with tags, and tracks campaign engagement. The two platforms share almost no functional overlap beyond contact storage and email delivery. The migration from Property Raptor to Mailchimp therefore involves a deliberate simplification — contacts and their properties migrate in full, while deal pipelines, listing records, opportunity stages, and workflows have no native Mailchimp equivalent and must be reframed as tags or merge fields, or rebuilt manually. FlitStack AI extracts Property Raptor data via the Salesforce API, transforms real estate-specific properties into Mailchimp merge fields, maps deal stage values to audience tags, and delivers a tagged audience ready for campaign sends on day one. Automations, sequences, and workflow rules do not transfer — we export their definitions as a rebuild reference for Mailchimp's automation builder.
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 Property Raptor 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.
Property Raptor
Contact
Mailchimp
Member (Audience)
1:1Property Raptor contacts migrate as Mailchimp audience members. Email address is the primary key — matched or created per Mailchimp's deduplication rules. First name, last name, phone, and address fields map to Mailchimp's standard member fields. Each member lands in one Mailchimp audience, keyed by your account configuration.
Property Raptor
Company
Mailchimp
Merge Field (per Member)
1:1Property Raptor company records (agency name, brokerage, developer) have no direct Mailchimp equivalent. We store the primary company name as a text merge field (COMPANY_NAME) on each related contact. For contacts with multiple associated companies, the most recently modified company becomes the primary value and additional associations are appended as comma-separated text in the same field.
Property Raptor
Opportunity (Deal Stage)
Mailchimp
Tag (applied per Member)
1:1Property Raptor opportunity records carry stage values such as Lead, Viewing Booked, Offer Made, Under Negotiation, Closed Won, Closed Lost. Each stage value maps to a Mailchimp tag — for example, 'Lead' becomes tag 'Stage: Lead', 'Closed Won' becomes tag 'Stage: Closed Won'. Tags are applied to the member record at migration time. Historical stage transitions are not individually preserved — the final stage at migration time drives the tag applied.
Property Raptor
Listing / Property
Mailchimp
Merge Fields (per Member)
1:1Property Raptor listings carry fields like property type, price, address, bedrooms, bathrooms, listing status, and portal references. These cannot map to any native Mailchimp object. We create custom merge fields on each related contact — PROPERTY_TYPE__c, PROPERTY_PRICE__c, LISTING_ADDRESS__c, BEDROOMS__c, LISTING_STATUS__c — capturing the most recent listing associated with that contact. Multiple listings per contact are stored as semi-colon-separated values in the primary merge field.
Property Raptor
Lead Source
Mailchimp
Merge Field + Tag
1:1Property Raptor records lead source (Portal, Referral, Website, Direct) on the contact. The source value is stored as a text merge field (LEAD_SOURCE__c) on the Mailchimp member and also applied as a tag (Source: Portal, Source: Referral) for use in Mailchimp segmentation. This dual-approach ensures lead source is available in both merge field reports and in audience filter logic.
Property Raptor
Activity (Email, Call, Meeting, Note)
Mailchimp
Member Note + Campaign Engagement Data
1:1Property Raptor stores individual email, call, meeting, and note records as Salesforce Tasks and Events with timestamps and owners. Mailchimp has no equivalent activity log per member — only aggregated campaign engagement (opens, clicks, unsubscribes) is tracked. We migrate the most recent note as a text merge field (LAST_NOTE__c) and tag the member with engagement tags based on available history. Detailed activity logs are exported as a CSV reference file for manual review.
Property Raptor
Custom Object (e.g., Property Inquiry, Viewing Request)
Mailchimp
Merge Fields + Tag
1:1Property Raptor Enterprise allows custom objects for real estate-specific records such as property inquiries or viewing requests. Each custom object field maps to a Mailchimp merge field on the related contact. Custom object associations that use N:N relationships in Property Raptor become tags on the Mailchimp member. FlitStack surfaces the full custom object schema before migration so you can confirm which fields become merge fields versus tags.
Property Raptor
Owner (Agent / User)
Mailchimp
Merge Field + Tag
1:1Property Raptor owners (agents) are Salesforce users linked to contacts and opportunities. Mailchimp has no owner field — the assigned agent's name and email are stored as text merge fields (ASSIGNED_AGENT__c, AGENT_EMAIL__c) on the member and also applied as a tag using the agent name for segmentation. This allows you to route campaigns based on the agent assigned in Property Raptor.
Property Raptor
Attachment / File
Mailchimp
Not Migrated
1:1Property Raptor files attached to contacts, listings, or opportunities have no Mailchimp equivalent. Mailchimp attachments are limited to email campaign assets. We export file metadata (filename, URL, attached record type) as a reference CSV and flag which files require manual re-upload to Mailchimp's file manager if they are campaign-relevant.
Property Raptor
Workflow / Automation Rule
Mailchimp
Not Migrated
1:1Property Raptor automations (lead assignment rules, stage-change notifications, listing-update triggers) are stored in Salesforce Flow or Raptor's rule engine. Mailchimp Customer Journeys handles email automation differently — event-based, with triggers such as 'joins audience' or 'clicks link'. We export all workflow definitions as a structured JSON reference file so your Mailchimp team can rebuild equivalent journeys in the Mailchimp automation builder.

Migration approach
Audit Property Raptor data volume and identify merge field targets
Before any data moves, FlitStack connects to your Property Raptor instance via the Salesforce API to inventory all contacts, companies, opportunities, listings, and custom objects. We generate a data inventory report showing record counts per object, field-level data types, and null-rate percentages. From this we identify which Property Raptor fields will become Mailchimp merge fields, which become tags, and which have no Mailchimp equivalent and must be exported as reference CSVs. You review and approve the merge field list before extraction begins.
Configure Mailchimp audience and create custom merge fields
FlitStack provisions your target Mailchimp audience and creates all required custom merge fields based on the approved field map. Merge fields are created with correct data types (text, number, date, phone) matching what Property Raptor exports. Tags for deal stage, lead source, and agent assignment are pre-created in Mailchimp so they are ready to receive data during import. If you have an existing Mailchimp audience, we configure duplicate-matching rules (by email address) to prevent re-creation of existing contacts.
Extract contacts with property and listing data, then transform and load
We extract all contacts from Property Raptor via the Salesforce API, pulling standard fields (name, email, phone, address), custom fields, and related company and listing associations. For each contact, opportunity stage values are converted to tags, listing data is split across named merge fields, and agent owner names become tags. Leads with no associated opportunity are tagged as 'Lead' for segmentation. The transformed dataset is loaded into Mailchimp via the Mailchimp Members API with batch operations for performance. Duplicates are resolved against existing Mailchimp members by email address.
Run sample migration with field-level diff and tag verification
A representative slice of 200–500 contacts migrates first, spanning different deal stages, listing types, and owner assignments. We generate a field-level diff comparing the source Property Raptor record against the resulting Mailchimp member profile — verifying merge field values, applied tags, and company associations. You review the diff and confirm that deal stage tags, property merge fields, and agent tags landed as expected before the full run commits.
Full migration with delta-pickup and post-migration suppression setup
The full contact dataset migrates to Mailchimp. During the cutover window (24–48 hours), FlitStack captures any new contacts or updated records created in Property Raptor and applies them to Mailchimp. After the full migration completes, we export your Property Raptor workflow definitions as a structured JSON rebuild reference. We also set up the Mailchimp suppression list for any contacts who were unsubscribed or marked inactive in Property Raptor, ensuring your Mailchimp sender reputation is protected at first send.
