Overview
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.
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 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
Nutshell
Person
1:1WayMore 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
Nutshell
Company
1:1WayMore 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
Nutshell
Custom Fields
1:1WayMore 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
Nutshell
Person List (static)
lossyWayMore 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
Nutshell
Person List + external activity log
1:1WayMore 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
Nutshell
Person List + external activity log
1:1WayMore 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
Nutshell
Activity log documentation
1:1WayMore 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
Nutshell
Tag
1:1WayMore 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
Nutshell
Workflow inventory document
lossyWayMore 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.

Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
