Overview
Moving from Wetroo to Mailchimp is a platform-category migration, not a record copy. Wetroo is a WhatsApp-embedded sales CRM built around Leads, Deals, and pipeline stages; Mailchimp is an email marketing platform built around Audiences, Members, tags, and segments. There is no Deal or Pipeline equivalent in Mailchimp, so deal value, pipeline stage, and deal owner migrate as merge fields and tags on the Member record, and the customer rebuilds pipeline-style segmentation manually using Mailchimp segments. We extract Wetroo Contacts and Leads via API or CSV export, deduplicate across any overlapping Wetroo lists, map Wetroo custom fields to Mailchimp merge fields, and import in batches against Mailchimp's rate limits. Automation sequences, WhatsApp chat history, and workflow playbooks do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of Wetroo automation definitions for the customer to rebuild in Mailchimp's automation tools.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Wetroo object lands in Mailchimp, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Wetroo
Contact
Mailchimp
Member (Audience)
1:1Wetroo Contacts migrate to Mailchimp Members within a single consolidated Audience. The primary email address becomes the Member email, first name and last name map to Mailchimp FNAME and LNAME merge fields, and phone number maps to PHONE if the Mailchimp plan includes SMS or is preserved as a custom merge field for reference. We deduplicate by email against any concurrent Lead export to avoid creating duplicate Members. Wetroo Contact owner is preserved as a tag owner:<name> on the Member record for segmentation by sales rep.
Wetroo
Lead
Mailchimp
Member (Audience)
1:1Wetroo Leads migrate to Mailchimp Members in the same consolidated Audience as Contacts. Lead status (New, Contacted, Qualified, Lost) maps to a tag lead_status:<value> on the Member, enabling post-migration segmentation without rebuilding a CRM-style pipeline. Lead score from Wetroo, if populated, migrates as a custom numeric merge field lead_score__c if the customer's Mailchimp plan supports custom fields, or is encoded in a tag for reference.
Wetroo
Deal
Mailchimp
Member tags + merge field
lossyMailchimp has no Deal or Opportunity object. We preserve deal data as tags and merge fields on the Member record. Deal value maps to a custom merge field deal_value__c (created as a NUMBER merge field in the Audience). Deal stage maps to a tag pipeline_stage:<stage_name>. Deal owner maps to owner:<name> tag for rep-based segmentation. If the customer requires deal tracking going forward, we document the recommended Mailchimp segment structure (one segment per pipeline stage) and a post-migration rebuild using Mailchimp segments and tags to approximate a pipeline view.
Wetroo
Pipeline
Mailchimp
Segment structure (manual rebuild)
lossyWetroo Pipelines with customer-defined stage names have no Mailchimp equivalent. We export the full pipeline definition (pipeline name, stage names, stage order, stage probabilities) as a structured reference document. Post-migration, the customer rebuilds the pipeline view in Mailchimp using one Audience per pipeline with segments representing each stage, and automation triggers based on tag application. This is a manual rebuild not included in data migration scope.
Wetroo
Pipeline Stages
Mailchimp
Tags on Member
1:1Stage names and order from Wetroo migrate as pipeline_stage:<name> tags on the Member record, with the original sequence preserved in the migration package. The customer uses these tags to build Mailchimp segments representing each stage of their sales process. We do not configure Mailchimp segments as part of the migration; we deliver the stage inventory and tagging logic for the customer to implement.
Wetroo
Custom Fields
Mailchimp
Merge fields
1:1Wetroo custom fields on Contacts and Leads map to Mailchimp merge fields within the destination Audience. Mailchimp supports approximately 40 merge field slots per Audience. For migrations exceeding this count, we prioritize the top 30-40 most operationally critical custom fields and encode the remainder as tag-based key-value pairs on the Member record (e.g., cf:<field_name>:<value>). Merge field data types map from Wetroo field types: text to TEXT, number to NUMBER, date to DATE, dropdown to TEXT.
Wetroo
Users and Owners
Mailchimp
Tags (rep-based)
1:1Wetroo Owner records (name and email associated with each Deal and Lead) map to owner:<full_name> tags on the Member. This enables Mailchimp segmentation by sales representative post-migration. We do not create Mailchimp user accounts; owner mapping is tag-based for audience segmentation purposes. If the customer requires rep-level access controls in Mailchimp, we flag this as a separate Mailchimp user provisioning task.
Wetroo
Automation Sequences
Mailchimp
Documentation (manual rebuild)
lossyWetroo automation playbooks and WhatsApp workflow triggers are JSON-based configurations tied to chat events that do not map to Mailchimp's email automation model. We export playbook definitions (sequence name, trigger conditions, step types, delays, and actions) as a structured reference document. The customer rebuilds these in Mailchimp's automation tools manually or with a Mailchimp partner. We do not migrate automation sequences as executable code.

Migration approach
Discovery and data extraction scoping
We audit the Wetroo account to identify all Contacts, Leads, Deals, custom field definitions, pipeline names, stage values, and owner assignments. We confirm whether the customer exports via Wetroo API or CSV manual dump, and we assess whether all required fields are included in the export scope. We also identify duplicate email addresses across Contact and Lead records to plan deduplication before Mailchimp import. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, field inventory, and deduplication requirements.
Mailchimp audience design and merge field configuration
We design the Mailchimp Audience structure based on the Wetroo data scope. If Wetroo contains multiple separate customer lists (e.g., separate contact and lead lists), we consolidate into a single Mailchimp Audience to avoid duplicate contact billing. We configure merge fields for all migratable custom fields, prioritizing the top 30-40 fields and encoding overflow as tags. We set up initial tags (pipeline_stage, lead_status, owner, deal_value) as structural placeholders before data import begins. Mailchimp merge field configuration is done via the Mailchimp API or Audience settings before migration.
Data cleansing and deduplication
We run contact deduplication across all Wetroo export files in a staging environment. Where the same email address appears in both a Contact and a Lead record, we consolidate to a single Member record, retaining the most recently updated data from either record and applying tags from both source records (e.g., both contact:<true> and lead_status:<value> tags). We also validate email formats, remove records with missing or placeholder email addresses, and standardize phone number formats before import. Cleansed data is staged in a CSV format compatible with Mailchimp's import mechanism.
Member import via Mailchimp API
We import Members into the Mailchimp Audience using the Mailchimp API with rate-limit handling (217 requests per minute for add operations, with exponential backoff on 429 responses). Contacts and Leads are imported in a single pass to the same Audience, with tags applied to indicate record type and lifecycle stage. Merge fields are populated from Wetroo custom field values. Deal values and pipeline stages are applied as tags and merge fields per the mapping specification. Each import batch emits a row-count reconciliation report. We do not use Mailchimp's CSV import UI for bulk migrations; the API allows more granular tag and merge field control.
Automation documentation and handoff
We export all Wetroo automation playbook definitions as a structured JSON and Markdown reference document, including sequence names, trigger conditions, step types, delays, CRM actions, and WhatsApp-specific trigger events. We also document the Wetroo pipeline and stage structure for the customer to reference when rebuilding Mailchimp segments that approximate a pipeline view. The automation inventory is delivered alongside the migration confirmation report. We do not rebuild automations in Mailchimp as part of the migration scope.
