Migrate from Uptick to Mailchimp

Uptick Accounts represent customer organizations (commercial properties, residential complexes). Each Account becomes a named Audience in Mailchimp. Account-level fields like billing address and industry classification migrate as Mailchimp audience settings and default merge fields. Multiple Uptick Accounts cannot share a single Mailchimp Audience — each migrates as its own audience or consolidates into a master audience by your specification.

Uptick Contacts (site managers, property owners, billing contacts) map directly to Mailchimp Members within the target audience. Email address is the primary key — FlitStack resolves by MD5 hash of lowercase email per Mailchimp's subscriber hash requirement. Duplicate email addresses across Uptick Accounts generate separate Member records in Mailchimp's audience.

Uptick stores a separate billing contact on each Account record. If the billing contact email differs from the primary contact email, FlitStack creates a second Member record within the Mailchimp audience keyed by the billing contact's email address. The billing flag is preserved as a Mailchimp member tag.

Uptick Assets have types (fire extinguisher, wet riser, emergency light, suppression system) that determine inspection frequency and compliance schedule. These asset types do not map to any native Mailchimp object — FlitStack translates each distinct asset type into a Mailchimp tag applied to the Member record, so automated sequences can filter by asset type. The asset's current service status (due, overdue, compliant) migrates as a separate custom field on the member.

Uptick tracks the next scheduled inspection date per asset. This date migrates as a Mailchimp member custom date merge field. Mailchimp's automation triggers cannot natively read custom date fields — FlitStack surfaces the dates so your team can build time-based drip sequences manually in Mailchimp's Customer Journey builder.

Uptick Work Orders capture completed service visits: technician assigned, work performed, parts used, and outcome. Mailchimp has no work-order equivalent. FlitStack summarizes the most recent Work Order outcome (completed, callback required, escalated) as a tag on the Member record. Full work order detail is exported as a JSON reference file for your team to use when rebuilding service-communication sequences in Mailchimp.

Uptick Products define the items quoted on service jobs (materials, labor rates, equipment). Mailchimp has no product catalog. FlitStack maps the most recently quoted product categories to Mailchimp member tags (for example, 'suppression_system_quote', 'fire_alarm_quote') so your email segments can reflect which service lines each contact has engaged with historically.

Uptick captures industry vertical (healthcare, education, hospitality, manufacturing) on the Account record. Mailchimp has no native industry field on Members. FlitStack maps Uptick's industry values to Mailchimp audience-level tags applied per member, enabling industry-based segmentation for compliance-focused email campaigns (e.g., healthcare fire safety requirements).

Uptick stores phone numbers on Contact records as the primary contact method for site managers and property owners. Mailchimp Members support a phone merge field that accepts formatted or unformatted numeric strings. Phone numbers transfer as-is during migration without reformatting or validation changes. SMS marketing consent requires separate re-permissioning under Mailchimp's current policy — FlitStack does not assume SMS opt-in based on Uptick data since Uptick does not track SMS consent as a distinct field.

Uptick Quotes capture proposed work and associated pricing. Mailchimp has no quote object or deal-tracking capability. FlitStack maps the most recent Quote status (draft, sent, accepted, declined) to a member tag, enabling your team to build re-engagement sequences for stalled or declined quotes within Mailchimp's Customer Journey builder. Full line-item quote data is exported separately as a reference CSV for downstream use.

Uptick assets carry a serial number or asset ID used for compliance documentation and maintenance traceability. Mailchimp Members do not natively support asset linkage or equipment tracking. FlitStack creates a custom text merge field (ASSET_ID) on the member record and populates it with the primary asset ID associated with each contact's account. This field is for reference and traceability — Mailchimp cannot trigger automations based on it natively.

Uptick tracks compliance certificate expiry dates per account as part of regulatory and safety record-keeping. Mailchimp has no native compliance date field or expiry tracking. FlitStack creates a custom date merge field (CERT_EXPIRY) on each member and populates it with expiry values for contacts whose accounts carry active compliance documentation. Mailchimp automation cannot directly read these dates — your team rebuilds reminder sequences manually using the exported date values.
