Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from WayMore to Nutshell is a platform-category shift from omnichannel marketing automation to sales-focused CRM. WayMore lacks a publicly documented API, so we extract Contacts, Companies, Campaigns, and custom field data via CSV exports from the dashboard and map them into Nutshell's Person, Company, Lead, and Activity objects. We preserve email opt-out status from WayMore's suppression list into Nutshell's HasOptedOutOfEmail field to maintain compliance at cutover. Automation workflows, chatbot flows, and segment membership rules do not migrate as executable code; we deliver a written inventory of every active workflow and sequence with step-by-step logic so your admin can rebuild them in Nutshell or your preferred automation layer. Custom fields carry over as mapped values, but dynamic segment rules become static contact lists at migration time since Nutshell does not support dynamic rule-based audience lists in the WayMore sense.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest cost entry point among mid-market CRMs—Foundation plan starts at $13/user/month, making it accessible for teams validating CRM fit before committing.
  • Integrated sales automation and email sequencing on Pro plans without requiring a separate email marketing platform, per verified Capterra reviews.
  • Consistently praised for intuitive interface and fast onboarding, with case studies reporting 100% team adoption rates within initial deployment periods.
  • Strong customer support responsiveness cited across G2 reviews, with dedicated support tiers available on Enterprise plans.
  • Native integrations with WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and Slack reduce reliance on third-party middleware for common communication channels.

Object mapping

How WayMore objects map to Nutshell

Each row shows how a WayMore 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.

WayMore

Contact

maps to

Nutshell

Person

1:1
Fully supported

WayMore Contact records map directly to Nutshell Person. We map standard fields (name, email, phone, address) and preserve custom field values. Email opt-out status from WayMore's suppression list maps to Nutshell's HasOptedOutOfEmail field. The primary email address is used as the dedupe key during import. Any contact without a valid email address is flagged and held in a reconciliation queue for manual review before insert.

WayMore

Company

maps to

Nutshell

Company

1:1
Fully supported

WayMore Company records map to Nutshell Company. Company name is the dedupe key. We map industry, website, phone, address, and any custom properties. Company-Contact associations are preserved by linking the Nutshell Person to the Nutshell Company after both records are inserted.

WayMore

Custom Fields

maps to

Nutshell

Custom Fields

1:1
Mapping required

WayMore custom properties on Contact and Company records map to Nutshell custom fields on Person and Company respectively. Nutshell supports text, long text, currency, and date custom field types. We match field types during scoping, but type preservation cannot be guaranteed without explicit field-by-field review. The customer creates the destination custom fields in Nutshell Settings before migration begins, and we map values during the data load phase.

WayMore

Segment

maps to

Nutshell

Person List (static)

lossy
Fully supported

WayMore segments are defined by dynamic rules that auto-update contact membership. These rules cannot be replicated in Nutshell, which does not have dynamic audience-list logic. We export the current membership of each segment as a static Person List. The list names are preserved, and the current member contacts are added to the corresponding Nutshell Person List. The customer can reference these lists for segmentation at cutover but must manually maintain membership.

WayMore

Email Campaign

maps to

Nutshell

Person List + external activity log

1:1
Fully supported

WayMore email campaign records (subject, content, send date, recipient list) export via CSV. We map the recipient list to Nutshell Person List membership and document campaign metadata separately. Real-time delivery statistics, open rates, and click rates from WayMore do not transfer as Nutshell metrics; we deliver a campaign history summary CSV for the customer's records.

WayMore

SMS Message

maps to

Nutshell

Person List + external activity log

1:1
Fully supported

WayMore SMS campaign records and message templates export via CSV. Opt-out status per contact is preserved in the Nutshell HasOptedOutOfEmail field to maintain SMS compliance. Message content and send history are mapped to a static Person List and documented in the activity log deliverable.

WayMore

Push Notification Campaign

maps to

Nutshell

Activity log documentation

1:1
Fully supported

WayMore push notification campaign records export as campaign metadata. Subscriber device tokens are not portable between platforms and do not transfer to Nutshell. We document the push notification campaign list and subscriber count for the customer's awareness; rebuilding push notification audiences requires a separate tool at the destination.

WayMore

Tag

maps to

Nutshell

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

WayMore tags applied to contacts map to Nutshell tags. Tag names are preserved and associated with the corresponding Person records during migration. We handle multi-value tag fields by splitting on the delimiter and inserting each tag individually.

WayMore

Automation Workflow

maps to

Nutshell

Workflow inventory document

lossy
Fully supported

WayMore automation workflows (triggers, conditions, delays, actions) cannot migrate as executable code. We document every active workflow as a structured inventory: trigger type, entry conditions, step sequence, actions, and estimated contacts currently in each workflow branch. The customer's admin rebuilds these in their preferred automation layer post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • WayMore has no public API for automated extraction

    WayMore does not publish a REST API, GraphQL endpoint, or bulk export endpoint. All data extraction relies on CSV downloads from the dashboard contacts, companies, and campaigns sections. We can extract standard objects cleanly via CSV but cannot pull data programmatically, which limits the speed and completeness of extraction compared to API-based migrations. For accounts with large volumes, manual CSV downloads require dedicated time from the WayMore account holder during the export phase. We coordinate export scheduling with the customer and document the manual steps required for each export.

  • Dynamic segment rules cannot migrate to Nutshell

    WayMore segments are defined by dynamic behavioral rules (e.g., 'contacts who opened email X in the last 30 days' or 'visitors who viewed product page Y more than twice'). These rules execute continuously inside WayMore and have no equivalent in Nutshell's static list model. We export the current membership of each segment as a snapshot Person List, but the list will not auto-update after cutover. Contacts that would have been added by a dynamic rule post-migration must be managed manually or through a separate segmentation tool.

  • Automation workflows and chatbot flows do not transfer

    WayMore automation workflows govern customer journey behavior across email, SMS, and chatbot channels. The step sequences, conditional branches, delay timers, and active execution state cannot be imported into Nutshell. Active executions are interrupted at cutover, and contacts do not resume workflows in the new system. We deliver a complete workflow inventory document listing every active automation with its trigger, conditions, and action sequence, which the customer's admin uses to rebuild in their chosen automation layer.

  • Marketing asset files cannot be exported from WayMore

    Email templates, images, media files, and chatbot assets stored in WayMore are not accessible via CSV export or any documented API. These files must be individually downloaded through the browser interface. We flag the complete asset library inventory during scoping and provide a checklist-based download guide. Large asset libraries can extend the project timeline because the customer must participate in manual file retrieval.

  • Custom field types cannot be fully guaranteed across platforms

    WayMore custom properties do not expose a type schema via export. When mapping to Nutshell custom fields, we infer field type from the data values in the CSV (e.g., numeric strings as currency, date-formatted strings as date). Text-heavy values that look like dates are mapped as text. Type mismatches that affect reporting or automation are flagged in the pre-migration reconciliation report and corrected before production migration.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful WayMore to Nutshell data migration

  1. Scoping and export coordination

    We audit the WayMore account to inventory Contacts, Companies, Campaigns, custom fields, segments, active workflows, and chatbot flows. Since WayMore requires manual CSV export from the dashboard, we coordinate with the customer's WayMore account holder to schedule export sessions for contacts, companies, campaigns, and suppression lists. We also request a full custom field inventory (field names and sample values) to enable type inference for Nutshell mapping.

  2. Nutshell environment preparation

    The customer creates a Nutshell account at the target tier and creates the destination custom fields in Nutshell Settings for Person, Company, and Lead. We provide a custom field creation guide listing each WayMore custom property, the inferred Nutshell field type, and any constraints (character limits, required fields). The customer provisions these fields before migration begins. We also create static Person Lists in Nutshell corresponding to each WayMore segment.

  3. Data extraction and transformation

    We transform the exported WayMore CSVs into Nutshell-compatible import format. This includes mapping field names, inferring data types for custom fields, splitting multi-value tags into individual rows, mapping email opt-out status to Nutshell's HasOptedOutOfEmail field, and building the Person-to-Company association table. We produce a pre-import reconciliation report showing record counts by object and a sample of 25 mapped records for the customer's review.

  4. Sandbox or trial migration

    If the Nutshell plan includes a trial or sandbox environment, we run a full import there first to validate field mapping, dedupe behavior, and Person-to-Company linkage. The customer spot-checks 25-50 records against the WayMore source and confirms the mapping is correct before production migration begins. Any field mapping corrections happen in this phase.

  5. Production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (from WayMore Companies), then Persons (from WayMore Contacts) with Company association resolved, then Person Lists populated from segment snapshots, then activity log documentation delivered as a structured CSV. Custom field values are mapped during the import phase. We produce a post-import reconciliation report comparing record counts in Nutshell against the original WayMore export totals.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff

    We freeze WayMore writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any records modified between the initial export and cutover date. We deliver the workflow and chatbot inventory document to the customer's admin team. We support a three-day hypercare window to resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild WayMore workflows or chatbot flows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.

Most WayMore to Nutshell migrations complete in one to three weeks for accounts under 10,000 Contacts with no custom objects and a straightforward segment set. Migrations with large campaign histories (over 100,000 records), multiple custom field sets, or active chatbot flows requiring structured documentation extend to four to eight weeks. The primary timeline driver is the manual CSV export coordination with the WayMore account holder, which requires dedicated time from their side to download all export files.
