Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Wired Plus to Nutshell is a shift from a UK-built marketing automation and CRM hybrid toward a focused sales CRM built for small business teams. Wired Plus stores Contacts with email consent flags, pipeline Deals, campaign performance logs, and automation workflow definitions across an account-specific custom field schema. Nutshell uses People as the primary contact record, Companies as accounts, Deals as pipeline opportunities, and a Pipeline Stage model that differs from Wired Plus's per-account stage definitions. We extract via Wired Plus API and CSV export, preserve opt_in and source fields explicitly to meet GDPR obligations, resolve account-specific custom field labels to destination field types, and import into Nutshell's People, Companies, and Deals objects. Automation workflows, landing pages, and campaign email templates do not migrate as functional code; we deliver a written audit of these assets for the customer to rebuild in Nutshell or a dedicated marketing platform. Typical migrations complete in two to four weeks for accounts under 10,000 contacts with no complex custom object dependencies.

Object mapping

How Wired Plus objects map to Nutshell

Each row shows how a Wired Plus 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.

Wired Plus

Contact

maps to

Nutshell

Person

1:1
Fully supported

Wired Plus Contact records map directly to Nutshell People. We extract name fields, email address, phone, and custom field values via API or CSV. Opt_in and source fields are mapped explicitly to Nutshell's email subscription status fields to preserve GDPR compliance. Contact lifecycle stage or custom status fields migrate as a custom field on the Nutshell Person record rather than a native property.

Wired Plus

Company

maps to

Nutshell

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Wired Plus Company records map to Nutshell Company records. We use Company_Name and domain fields as the dedupe key. Account-specific custom fields on Companies migrate as Nutshell custom fields on the Company object. Companies are imported before People so that Person-Company lookup relationships are resolved at insert time.

Wired Plus

Deal

maps to

Nutshell

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Wired Plus Deals map to Nutshell Deals with dealstage mapped to Nutshell Pipeline Stage and pipeline_id mapped to the Nutshell Pipeline assignment. Custom deal fields migrate as Nutshell custom fields on the Deal object. Closed-Lost and Closed-Won status from Wired Plus map to Nutshell deal status values.

Wired Plus

Pipeline Stages

maps to

Nutshell

Pipeline Stages

lossy
Mapping required

Wired Plus per-account pipeline stages extract as a named stage sequence. We map each stage to a Nutshell Pipeline Stage value and flag any Wired Plus stages with no direct Nutshell equivalent. The stage probability mapping (Wired Plus percentage to Nutshell stage weight) is configured before Deal import.

Wired Plus

Campaign

maps to

Nutshell

Campaign

1:1
Fully supported

Wired Plus Campaign records migrate to Nutshell Campaign objects carrying campaign name, status, and send date. Campaign performance metrics (open rate, click rate, send count) migrate as custom fields on the Nutshell Campaign because Nutshell Campaigns are primarily attribution objects rather than detailed performance reporters. Email template content does not migrate as editable HTML.

Wired Plus

Tag

maps to

Nutshell

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Wired Plus tags (flat string labels on contacts and companies) migrate as tags in Nutshell. We export the full tag assignment set per contact and per company and reapply as tag assignments at the destination. Tag merging (where duplicate label variants exist) is flagged during scoping for customer review.

Wired Plus

Custom Fields

maps to

Nutshell

Custom Fields

lossy
Mapping required

Wired Plus account-specific custom fields on Contacts, Companies, and Deals are extracted via API using the field schema to resolve internal field IDs from display labels. We pre-create matching Nutshell custom fields (with type-mapped field types: text, number, date, picklist) before any record import. Picklist value sets from Wired Plus migrate as Nutshell picklist options.

Wired Plus

Automation Workflow

maps to

Nutshell

None (audit document delivered)

1:1
Fully supported

Wired Plus automation workflows define trigger-action sequences including conditional branches and time delays. These do not migrate as functional code to Nutshell because the automation models differ. We export workflow definitions as structured metadata (trigger type, conditions, actions, delay values) in a written workflow audit document. The customer's Nutshell admin or a Nutshell partner uses this document to rebuild workflows in Nutshell's automation tools.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Opt-in consent flags require explicit extraction from Wired Plus

    Wired Plus stores email consent as part of the contact record, but default CSV exports do not always include opt_in and source fields. We query these fields explicitly via the Wired Plus API before building the import set. Failing to preserve consent flags creates GDPR risk because contacts arrive at Nutshell without subscription status documented, which can trigger spam classification issues. We carry the original opt_in timestamp and source attribution into Nutshell custom fields and set the native email subscription status accordingly.

  • Account-specific custom field labels require pre-migration schema resolution

    Each Wired Plus account defines custom fields with display labels that differ from internal field identifiers. The export CSV uses labels rather than IDs, and labels that have been renamed since last export create mapping ambiguity. We resolve labels to internal IDs during scoping by pulling the field schema via the API before building any import mapping. Nutshell custom fields are pre-created with the correct type (text, number, date, picklist) before record import begins, preventing type-mismatch rejections.

  • Marketing campaign data has no native performance reporting equivalent in Nutshell

    Wired Plus campaign records carry open rates, click rates, and send volumes as native fields. Nutshell Campaigns are attribution and list-management objects without equivalent performance metric fields. We migrate campaign name, status, and send date as standard fields, and store open/click performance data as custom fields on the Nutshell Campaign record. Detailed email performance reporting requires a dedicated email marketing platform or Nutshell's Mailchimp integration post-migration.

  • Automation workflows and landing page logic do not transfer between platforms

    Wired Plus automation workflows (behavior-triggered sequences with conditional branches) and landing pages (drag-and-drop HTML with embedded forms) are platform-specific implementations. We export workflow definitions as structured metadata and landing page HTML as asset exports, but Nutshell has no native equivalent for these objects. Workflow rebuild requires the customer's admin or a Nutshell partner; landing pages require reconstruction in a dedicated landing page tool or web-to-lead setup in Nutshell.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Wired Plus to Nutshell data migration

  1. Discovery and account audit

    We audit the Wired Plus account to capture the full record schema: contact fields including custom fields and opt_in status, company fields, deal fields, pipeline stage definitions, tag library, campaign list, and automation workflow inventory. We also identify the primary use case (sales CRM, marketing automation, or hybrid) to confirm that Nutshell is the right destination and to scope the custom field resolution work. The discovery output is a written migration scope with a field-level mapping draft and a list of Wired Plus assets (workflows, landing pages) that require rebuild rather than migration.

  2. Schema resolution and Nutshell destination setup

    We pull the Wired Plus field schema via API to resolve display labels to internal field IDs. We then create the corresponding Nutshell custom fields (on People, Companies, and Deals) matching the field types from Wired Plus: text fields to Nutshell text, numeric fields to Nutshell number, date fields to Nutshell date, and picklist fields to Nutshell picklist with value sets migrated. Pipeline Stages are configured in Nutshell to match the Wired Plus stage sequence with probability weights.

  3. Sample import and reconciliation

    We run a sample migration of a representative subset of records (typically 50-200 contacts, 20-50 companies, 20-50 deals) into a Nutshell test environment. The customer reconciles field values, checks for duplicate detection accuracy, verifies that tag assignments appear correctly, and confirms that opt-in status maps as expected. Mapping corrections are made before the full migration proceeds. This step prevents the scenario where a full import completes and reconciliation reveals systematic field mapping errors.

  4. Full production migration in dependency order

    We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies first (to establish the Company lookup for People), then People (with opt_in status explicitly set), then Deals (with pipeline and stage assignment resolved), then Tags (applied to People and Companies after the base records exist). Campaign metadata migrates last as a reference set for attribution. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report showing records attempted, imported, rejected, and skipped.

  5. Cutover and post-migration validation

    We freeze Wired Plus write access during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records modified during migration, and hand off Nutshell as the system of record. We deliver the automation workflow audit document and landing page HTML export for the customer to begin rebuild work. We support a post-migration validation window where the customer's team spot-checks records and flags any discrepancies for resolution.

Most migrations land between two and three weeks for accounts under 5,000 contacts with straightforward field mapping and no complex custom field dependencies. Accounts with large custom field schemas (more than 15 custom fields per object), multiple pipeline stage sets, or a requirement to preserve detailed opt-in consent documentation move to four to six weeks because of schema resolution work and GDPR flag reconciliation.
