Migrate from UPilot to Mailchimp

UPilot Contact records map to Mailchimp Audience Members. We extract email, first name, last name, phone, address fields, and any custom properties. The 360-degree contact view context (where task and deal information lives in UPilot) does not transfer to Mailchimp because Mailchimp has no task or deal object; we flag these as notes for the admin. Duplicate detection runs against email address using Mailchimp's import deduplication logic.

UPilot Company records do not map to a direct Mailchimp object because Mailchimp has no Company or Account concept. We populate the Organization field on each Member from the related Company name, and we create a tag per Company (format: company:CompanyName) so the customer can segment by company affiliation in Mailchimp. Companies without any linked Contacts are flagged for manual review.

UPilot Deals have no Mailchimp equivalent. Deal records, pipeline stages, deal values, and expected close dates do not migrate. We extract deal data as a CSV export and deliver it alongside the migration so the customer's admin can store it externally or load it into a separate reporting tool. Deal-to-contact associations are preserved as a tag on the related Member (format: deal:DealName) for reference.

UPilot pipeline stage assignments do not have a destination in Mailchimp. Pipeline stage names are captured as tags on each related Member (format: pipeline:StageName) during the migration. Mailchimp segments can be built from these tags to approximate pipeline-stage-based audience filtering, but this is a manual rebuild step documented in the automation inventory.

UPilot tasks and inline task context in the 360-degree contact view have no Mailchimp equivalent. Tasks do not migrate. We flag every task record in the extraction output and deliver a task inventory CSV to the customer so their admin can rebuild task lists in their preferred project management tool post-migration.

UPilot custom properties on Contact records map to Mailchimp merge fields. Mailchimp merge fields are limited to 255 characters; any UPilot custom field with a value exceeding this limit is truncated to 254 characters with a note in the migration report. Field types map as follows: text to text, number to number, date to date, dropdown to dropdown, checkbox to radio (if binary) or interest group (if multi-select). Multi-select properties become Mailchimp interest groups.

UPilot support ticket records and conversation threads do not migrate to Mailchimp. Mailchimp is not a helpdesk or support ticketing platform. We extract ticket records as a CSV export for the customer's admin to load into a dedicated helpdesk tool (Zendesk, Freshdesk, HubSpot Service Hub, or similar) as a separate migration.

UPilot Owner (sales rep) assignments on Contacts and Deals map to Member tags in Mailchimp (format: owner:OwnerName). This preserves which rep owns the contact relationship for segmentation purposes. Mailchimp does not have a user assignment model; tags serve as the only ownership indicator.
