Overview
ServiceTitan stores a rich operational graph: customers linked to service locations, jobs, invoices, and custom fields specific to your trade business. Mailchimp accepts only contacts as subscribers — it has no native concept of jobs, invoices, service locations, or field-service records. The migration therefore centers on your customer contact records: we extract every customer with a valid email address, map their name and address fields to Mailchimp merge fields, and push custom field values into Mailchimp custom contact properties. ServiceTitan custom fields that store job-related data (work order numbers, technician assignments, service types) have no direct Mailchimp equivalent and are preserved as reference text or dropped based on your preference. Workflows, automations, dispatch rules, and payment histories do not migrate — those must be rebuilt in Mailchimp's automation builder or accepted as losses. We use ServiceTitan's API at 60 calls per second to pull customer records, then push them into Mailchimp audiences via the Mailchimp API, handling type mismatches (for example, ServiceTitan date fields become text in Mailchimp merge fields) with explicit transformation notes in the field-level diff.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a ServiceTitan 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.
ServiceTitan
Customer
Mailchimp
Contact (Subscriber)
1:1ServiceTitan Customer records map directly to Mailchimp subscribers. Every customer with a valid, deliverable email address becomes a Mailchimp contact. Customers with no email address are flagged in the pre-migration report — they require email collection before import since Mailchimp does not accept contacts without an email address.
ServiceTitan
Customer.firstname / lastname
Mailchimp
Contact FNAME / LNAME merge fields
1:1First name and last name on the ServiceTitan Customer record map to Mailchimp FNAME and LNAME merge fields. These are standard Mailchimp merge fields present in every audience. If ServiceTitan stores only a company name and no individual name, we map it to a custom merge field and leave FNAME/LNAME blank.
ServiceTitan
Customer.email
Mailchimp
Contact Email Address
1:1ServiceTitan Customer records map directly to Mailchimp subscribers. Every customer with a valid, deliverable email address becomes a Mailchimp contact. Customers with no email address are flagged in the pre-migration report — they require email collection before import since Mailchimp does not accept contacts without an email address.
ServiceTitan
Customer.phone
Mailchimp
Contact PHONE merge field
1:1ServiceTitan stores phone numbers on the Customer record. Mailchimp provides a PHONE merge field for exactly this purpose. We map phone directly but strip non-numeric characters during transformation to comply with Mailchimp's phone field format. We also validate phone number formats against international standards to avoid formatting errors in Mailchimp.
ServiceTitan
Service Location (address)
Mailchimp
Contact ADDRESS merge fields
many:1ServiceTitan allows multiple service locations per customer — each with its own address. Mailchimp stores one address per contact. We migrate the primary service location address to Mailchimp's ADDRESS merge field set (street, city, state, postal code, country). Secondary locations are either appended as a text note in a custom field or deduplicated per your preference.
ServiceTitan
Customer.custom_fields
Mailchimp
Contact Merge Fields (custom)
1:1ServiceTitan custom fields on the Customer object (for example, 'Customer Type', 'Referral Source', or trade-specific pick-lists like 'Service Contract Status') map to Mailchimp custom merge fields. We create merge fields in Mailchimp named to match the source field label. Pick-list values transfer as plain text strings; date fields become formatted text strings.
ServiceTitan
Location.custom_fields
Mailchimp
Contact Merge Fields (custom, prefixed)
1:1ServiceTitan Location records carry their own custom fields (for example, 'Equipment Brand', 'System Age', 'Last Service Date'). These cannot map to a standard Mailchimp field. We create prefixed merge fields (for example, LOC_System_Age) to carry this data as reference text on the primary contact record.
ServiceTitan
Job (historical)
Mailchimp
No equivalent
1:1ServiceTitan Job records store work order history, job types, technician assignments, and service dates. Mailchimp has no job or work-order concept. Historical job records are not imported into Mailchimp. If you need to communicate service history by email, job summary text can be written to a custom merge field as a reference note — but this is a human-readable digest, not a structured record.
ServiceTitan
Invoice / Payment
Mailchimp
No equivalent
1:1ServiceTitan invoices and payment records have no Mailchimp analogue. Invoice amounts, payment status, and billing history do not migrate. These records remain in ServiceTitan or must be exported separately for accounting purposes. Mailchimp is a marketing platform, not a billing or ERP system.
ServiceTitan
Tag / Category
Mailchimp
Contact Tags
1:1ServiceTitan stores customer categories or tags (for example, 'Residential Customer', 'Commercial Account', 'HVAC Contract'). We translate these into Mailchimp contact tags. Each unique ServiceTitan category becomes a Mailchimp tag. Multiple categories per customer result in multiple tags on the corresponding Mailchimp contact.
ServiceTitan
Customer.notes
Mailchimp
Contact Note
1:1ServiceTitan Customer notes field maps to the Mailchimp contact note. We preserve the full note text. Mailchimp notes have a 2,000-character limit; longer notes are truncated with a marker indicating truncation. If the original note contains special characters or line breaks, we normalize them for display within Mailchimp's note field.
ServiceTitan
Owner / Technician
Mailchimp
No equivalent on Contact
1:1ServiceTitan assigns an owner (CSR or technician) to each customer record. Mailchimp contacts do not have an owner field at the individual contact level — ownership is an administrative concept within Mailchimp, not a per-contact attribute. Owner assignment is not migrated.

Migration approach
Extract ServiceTitan customer and location records via API
FlitStack AI connects to your ServiceTitan instance using API credentials and begins extracting Customer and Service Location records. We respect the 60-calls-per-second rate limit and batch records accordingly. During extraction, we build a data quality report identifying records with missing or invalid email addresses, custom fields with unsupported types, and customers with multiple service locations. This report is delivered to you before the migration run so your team can collect missing emails and confirm which location address to prioritize per customer.
Map and transform fields in a staging environment
We map every extracted ServiceTitan field to a Mailchimp merge field or contact property. Standard fields (name, email, phone, address) map directly. Custom fields from the Customer and Location objects are created as named merge fields in your Mailchimp audience. Date fields are formatted as strings; pick-list values are preserved as text. Tags are generated from ServiceTitan customer categories. We validate the field mapping against Mailchimp's merge field name restrictions (alphanumeric and underscore only) and flag any field names that require normalization before import.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 200–500 contacts covering a range of custom field configurations and address formats — migrates into a test Mailchimp audience. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values in ServiceTitan against the imported values in Mailchimp. You review the diff to confirm that custom field data appears as expected, address formatting is correct, and tag assignments are accurate. No full migration commits until you approve the sample output.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
After sample approval, the full customer contact migration runs against your production Mailchimp audience. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any new email addresses added to ServiceTitan during the cutover. Each imported contact retains its Source_System_ID__c merge field for traceability. Audit log records every operation. If reconciliation reveals unexpected data gaps, one-click rollback reverts the audience to its pre-migration state so the issue can be investigated and a corrected run executed.
Deliver migration report and rebuild reference export
FlitStack AI delivers a final migration report documenting: total contacts imported, contacts skipped (no valid email), custom merge fields created, and tag assignments. For any ServiceTitan data that has no Mailchimp equivalent — job history, invoice records, dispatch data — we provide a structured export file (CSV) so your team has the raw data available for reference or loading into a separate system. This export is the starting point for rebuilding any ServiceTitan workflow logic you want to replicate in Mailchimp's automation builder.
