Overview
Systeme.io is an all-in-one funnel and marketing platform where CRM features exist inside a broader tool that also runs sales funnels, email campaigns, course delivery, and automation sequences. Nutshell is a dedicated B2B sales CRM built around pipeline stages, contact activity tracking, and team collaboration — its core strength is deal management, not content delivery. The migration carries Systeme.io's contacts (including tags and custom field data), companies, and deal pipelines into Nutshell's People, Companies, and Pipeline objects. Funnel pages, automation rules, email sequences, and course content do not migrate — they require manual rebuild in each platform's native tools. Systeme.io's contact scoring and lifecycle tags map to Nutshell custom fields since Nutshell has no native equivalent. FlitStack sequences the migration via Nutshell's JSON-RPC API, resolving owner assignments by email match, preserving original timestamps as custom datetime fields, and running a delta pickup window during cutover to capture in-flight changes.
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 Systeme IO 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.
Systeme IO
Contact
Nutshell
Person
1:1Systeme.io contacts map directly to Nutshell People. All standard fields including name, email, phone, and address transfer as-is. Owner assignment resolves by email match against existing Nutshell user accounts. Unmatched owners flag for manual assignment before the migration engine begins the full run, ensuring no records land without a valid owner reference.
Systeme IO
Contact Tags
Nutshell
Person Tags
1:1Systeme.io tags covering lead status, customer classifications, segment labels, and source attribution all transfer as Nutshell Person tags. Tags that were used to drive automation routing logic in Systeme.io will need to be rebuilt manually using Nutshell's sequence rules and task automation features.
Systeme IO
Contact Custom Fields
Nutshell
Person Custom Fields
1:1Systeme.io custom contact fields (text, number, date, dropdown, checkbox) map to Nutshell Person custom fields. Nutshell field types are matched to Systeme.io data types during the mapping phase. Fields that don't have a direct type equivalent (e.g., Systeme.io multi-select) become Nutshell text fields with comma-separated values.
Systeme IO
Contact Scoring Data
Nutshell
Person Custom Field (numeric)
1:1Systeme.io contact scores (numeric lead quality values) have no native Nutshell equivalent. Scores migrate as a custom number field on the Person object. Teams should treat this as reference data for segmentation — Nutshell's lead scoring must be rebuilt using Nutshell IQ or external tools.
Systeme IO
Company
Nutshell
Company
1:1Systeme.io companies map to Nutshell Companies with standard fields (name, domain, industry, employee count) transferring directly. Nutshell requires at minimum a Company name for each record — companies without a name in Systeme.io attach to a default placeholder for manual review and correction post-migration.
Systeme IO
Company Custom Fields
Nutshell
Company Custom Fields
1:1Systeme.io custom company fields map to Nutshell Company custom fields using the same type-matching logic applied to contact fields. Industry classification and employee count fields map as standard Nutshell Company fields where applicable, with custom fields handling any non-standard Systeme.io data.
Systeme IO
Deal
Nutshell
Deal
1:1Systeme.io deals map to Nutshell Deals with each deal's name, amount, expected close date, and owner transferring directly. The deal's pipeline name and stage label map to the corresponding Nutshell pipeline stage through value-mapping configured during the mapping phase before the migration run.
Systeme IO
Deal Products / Line Items
Nutshell
Deal Line Items
1:1Systeme.io deals with product associations carry line-item data. Nutshell Deals support product-line items. We extract Systeme.io order/product data and populate Nutshell line items on the corresponding Deal record. If Systeme.io stores products differently, they migrate as text notes on the deal for manual product re-entry.
Systeme IO
Pipeline
Nutshell
Pipeline Stage
1:1Systeme.io pipeline names and stage labels map to Nutshell pipeline stages. Each unique Systeme.io stage label becomes a Nutshell stage name in the configured pipeline. Probability and forecast category are assigned based on standard Nutshell stage templates unless your team specifies custom probability values.
Systeme IO
Automation Rules / Sequences
Nutshell
No Equivalent
1:1Systeme.io automation rules (tag triggers, timer delays, conditional branching, email sequences) have no equivalent in Nutshell. These must be rebuilt manually using Nutshell's personal email sequences, task automation, and lead routing features. We export your automation rule definitions as a structured JSON reference document for your Nutshell admin.
Systeme IO
Funnels / Pages
Nutshell
No Equivalent
1:1Systeme.io sales funnels, landing pages, and blog content are not CRM objects and do not transfer to Nutshell. These must be rebuilt in Systeme.io (if retained alongside Nutshell) or in alternative page-building tools. Funnel and page content are content-layer assets outside the scope of CRM data migration.
Systeme IO
Email Campaigns / Broadcasts
Nutshell
No Equivalent
1:1Systeme.io email campaigns and broadcast history (sent emails, templates) have no direct Nutshell equivalent. Nutshell Pro and above support email sequences tied to people and deals, but historical campaign data does not migrate. We export campaign names, subject lines, and send dates as a reference note on each contact.
Systeme IO
Order / Transaction Records
Nutshell
Deal Custom Field (reference)
1:1Systeme.io transaction records including order ID, amount, product purchased, and purchase date export as custom fields on the related Nutshell Deal. For high-volume order histories containing many transactions, we create a separate reference export file rather than individual Nutshell deal records to maintain system performance.
Systeme IO
Engagement Activity (calls, meetings, notes)
Nutshell
Activity (Task, Call, Meeting, Note)
1:1Systeme.io CRM notes attached to contacts or companies map to Nutshell Notes. Call and meeting records in Systeme.io's CRM tab migrate as Nutshell Activities (Tasks/Calls). Original timestamps and owner information are preserved. Engagement data from the marketing side (email opens, webinar attendance) is not a Nutshell activity type and is exported as a reference note.
Systeme IO
User / Owner
Nutshell
User
1:1Systeme.io user accounts (team members with CRM access) map to Nutshell users by email address. Only Systeme.io users who own CRM records (deals, contacts) are migrated as Nutshell owners. Nutshell user role permissions are set to 'Standard' by default; your admin configures access levels post-migration.

Migration approach
Audit Systeme.io CRM data and map to Nutshell schema
We extract your Systeme.io contacts, companies, deals, and custom field definitions via the CRM export tool and API. We audit tag cardinality, custom field data types, owner distribution, and deal volume to build the mapping specification. This phase identifies any fields that need custom field creation in Nutshell before data lands. We deliver a pre-flight report listing the exact field mapping, any unresolved owner emails, and records that require data cleansing (duplicates, missing required fields) before migration runs.
Create Nutshell custom fields and configure pipeline stages
Before records transfer, your Nutshell admin (or our team acting with your credentials) creates the custom fields identified in the audit: contact score fields, original create date fields, and any company or deal custom fields not covered by Nutshell's standard fields. Pipeline stage names from Systeme.io are mapped to Nutshell stages — we provide a stage configuration spreadsheet so your admin can set exact stage labels, probabilities, and forecast categories in Nutshell before the migration run. This ensures no records land with unmapped stage values.
Resolve owners and create Nutshell user mappings
Systeme.io user accounts are matched to Nutshell users by email address. We generate a match report showing all matched owners (auto-resolved), unmatched owners (flagged for manual assignment), and a fallback owner rule for any records without an assignable owner. Nutshell requires an owner on each deal and person — no record lands without a valid owner reference. Your team confirms the fallback assignment before the full migration begins.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 100–300 across contacts, companies, deals, and a few activities — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values in Nutshell. You verify that custom field mapping, stage label mapping, owner resolution, and tag transfer all meet expectations. No full run commits until you sign off on the sample results. This is the checkpoint where mapping errors are caught and corrected before volume migration begins.
Execute full migration with delta pickup and rollback plan
The full dataset migrates via Nutshell's JSON-RPC API, sequenced correctly: Companies first, then People (linked to Companies), then Deals (linked to People via Nutshell's contact-role model). A delta pickup window — typically 24–48 hours after the main run — captures any records created or modified in Systeme.io during the cutover window. We produce an audit log of every record migrated, including source system ID, destination ID, timestamp, and operation type. If reconciliation fails or your team identifies a mapping error after the run, one-click rollback reverts all migrated records and the run can be corrected and repeated.
