Overview

What this migration involves

Actimo is an employee engagement platform built around internal communications, mobile training paths, and pulse surveys for non-desk workforces. HubSpot is a full CRM with contacts, companies, deals, and custom objects. These platforms serve different primary use cases, so the migration centers on consolidating Actimo's contact records and engagement history into HubSpot's object model — with training completion, survey responses, and message engagement data translated into HubSpot custom contact properties. FlitStack AI extracts Actimo contacts via the platform's export API, maps standard fields (name, email, phone, department) directly to HubSpot contact properties, and translates Actimo's training completion records into custom number and date fields (e.g., Training_Completed__c, Last_Module_Date__c). Survey responses with structured answers become individual contact properties; open-ended responses land as long-text fields. Message open rates and engagement scores map to custom number fields. The migration does not carry Actimo's communication workflows, training path sequences, or automated nudges — those are destination-side automation constructs that must be rebuilt in HubSpot. We export Actimo workflow definitions as a reference document for your HubSpot admin. Engagement history (opens, clicks, completions) with original timestamps migrates as custom fields. The data move uses a staged export-and-load approach: test migration first, then full migration with a delta-pickup window capturing any records modified during cutover.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

What's pushing teams away

  • Limited API documentation makes automated migration and deep integration technically challenging
  • Pricing is per-active-user and not publicly published, creating uncertainty during vendor evaluation
  • Small review sample (12 Capterra reviews, 1 G2 review) makes independent validation difficult
  • Platform is narrowly focused on engagement and lacks CRM-style pipeline, deal, or account management objects
  • Competitors like Connecteam offer broader workforce management features at comparable or lower price points

Choosing

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry of any major CRM — the free tier with unlimited contacts lets teams validate fit before committing to a paid plan, according to G2 and Capterra reviewers.
  • Native integration between the CRM and sales engagement tools (sequences, email tracking, dialer) means no separate sync configuration, a theme across G2 Sales Hub reviews.
  • Pipeline visualization, deal tracking, and automated workflows are consistently praised as intuitive and easy to set up without developer involvement.
  • Strong onboarding for new team members — reviewers on Capterra and G2 highlight how quickly new reps become productive without formal training.
  • The HubSpot platform ecosystem (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS hubs) allows growing companies to consolidate tools without building new integrations.

Object mapping

How Actimo objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a Actimo object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Actimo

Contact

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo contact records map 1:1 to HubSpot contacts. Standard fields (first name, last name, email address, phone number, job title, department) map directly to HubSpot's corresponding contact properties without any transformation required. Contacts that are not associated with a company in Actimo will land as standalone HubSpot contacts without a company link. If your organization requires all contacts to be associated with a company record, a default company can be created and linked to those unassociated contacts as part of the migration setup.

Actimo

Training Path / Module

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Contact Properties

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo training paths have no HubSpot native equivalent. Each training path generates a custom contact property (Training_Path_Name_Completed__c as a date field; individual modules become multi-select or date fields). Completion status, quiz scores, and module-level progress are all translated to individual custom properties per contact.

Actimo

Survey Response

maps to

HubSpot

Contact Properties + Notes

1:1
Fully supported

Structured survey questions with discrete answers — such as rating scales, multiple choice selections, and numeric responses — become custom pick-list or number properties on the HubSpot contact record. Open-ended text responses are stored as long-text properties to preserve the full response content. Survey metadata, including the respondent's contact ID, the survey name, and the exact submission timestamp, is preserved alongside each individual response so the full context of each survey submission is retained in HubSpot for future reference and reporting purposes.

Actimo

Message / News Post

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Contact Properties (Engagement)

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo message engagement data (open rate, click rate per contact) has no HubSpot native equivalent. We map open rates to a custom number property (Message_Open_Rate__c) and click rates to Message_Click_Rate__c, stored per contact so engagement history is queryable in HubSpot.

Actimo

Workspace / Team Group

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Property (Text) + Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo workspaces organize employees by team or location. We map workspace membership to a custom text property (Actimo_Workspace__c) and optionally create HubSpot contact tags for each workspace name so that filtering contacts by their original team or location grouping is readily available in HubSpot list views, workflow filters, and reporting segments.

Actimo

User / Employee Profile Data

maps to

HubSpot

Contact + Custom Properties

1:1
Fully supported

Core profile fields such as first name, last name, email address, phone number, job title, department, and manager information map directly to corresponding HubSpot contact properties. Any Actimo custom profile fields beyond the standard set migrate as HubSpot custom properties, with the appropriate HubSpot field type determined by analyzing the original data format in Actimo to ensure accurate type matching.

Actimo

Engagement Score

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Number Property

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo engagement scores aggregate message opens, clicks, training completions, and survey participation into a single score per contact. HubSpot has no native engagement score; we map Actimo's score to a custom number field (Engagement_Score__c) with the original scale preserved for continuity in reporting.

Actimo

Training Path Sequences

maps to

HubSpot

N/A (manual rebuild)

1:1
Fully supported

Actimo automated training sequences and learning path triggers have no HubSpot equivalent. We export sequence definitions as a structured reference document so your team can rebuild them as HubSpot Workflows. The training data itself (who completed what) migrates; the automation logic does not.

Actimo

Pulse Survey Results

maps to

HubSpot

Contact Properties + Ticket (optional)

1:1
Fully supported

Aggregate pulse survey results per contact map to custom contact properties. If the survey captures satisfaction scores or NPS, we also create a linked Ticket record in HubSpot so support teams can action low scores via the service hub. This dual-approach ensures survey feedback is both visible on the contact record for reporting and actionable through HubSpot's service management tools when response data indicates potential issues requiring follow-up.

Actimo

File Attachments / Media

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Files + Notes

1:1
Fully supported

Files attached to Actimo training modules or messages are downloaded from Actimo's storage system and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files. Each file is then linked to the relevant HubSpot contact or company record using HubSpot's file association tools. Original file names and original upload dates are preserved in the HubSpot file metadata so the provenance and timing of each file remains traceable after migration.

Actimo

Actimo System ID

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Property (Text)

1:1
Fully supported

The Actimo internal record ID is stored as a custom text property (Actimo_Record_ID__c) on each contact for traceability, delta-run deduplication, and audit purposes across migration cycles. This ensures you can trace any HubSpot contact back to its original Actimo record and run comparison reports to validate data accuracy throughout and after the migration process.

Actimo

Create / Update Timestamps

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Properties (Date)

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot's native CreatedDate and LastModifiedDate fields will reflect the migration execution time rather than the original record creation date in Actimo. To preserve historical context, original Actimo create timestamps are stored in Actimo_Created_Date__c and original last-modified timestamps are stored in Actimo_Last_Modified__c as custom date properties on each contact so that historical reporting continuity and record aging are maintained accurately after migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Training path sequences and automated training triggers do not migrate

    Actimo's training sequences — automated assignment of learning paths based on role, onboarding stage, or completion triggers — have no equivalent in HubSpot's object model. HubSpot does not have a native training path or learning management object. The completion data (who finished what module, with what score, and when) migrates as custom contact properties, but the sequence logic, prerequisite rules, and automated enrollment triggers must be rebuilt as HubSpot Workflows. We provide an export of the Actimo sequence definitions as a reference document for your implementation team.

  • Actimo engagement scores lack native HubSpot context

    Actimo's composite engagement score aggregates message opens, training completions, and survey participation into a single number per contact. HubSpot's engagement scoring is available only in the Marketing Hub with a different calculation model. We map Actimo's score to a custom number field (Engagement_Score__c) with the original scale preserved. However, any HubSpot native engagement scoring configured post-migration will use HubSpot's own model and will not include Actimo's historical score as a baseline unless manually reconciled.

  • Message-level engagement analytics do not survive as HubSpot-native records

    Actimo tracks per-contact message opens and clicks with timestamps. HubSpot's native email engagement tracking applies only to emails sent through HubSpot's own sending tools, not imported historical engagement events. We preserve Actimo's per-contact open rates and click rates as custom number fields on the contact record so the historical data remains queryable, but these metrics will not appear in HubSpot's standard engagement analytics dashboards or be factored into HubSpot's native engagement scoring. Reports referencing these metrics will need to use custom report configurations, HubSpot's custom analytics builder, or a third-party reporting tool to visualize the historical Actimo engagement data.

  • Survey responses with branching logic require manual schema design

    Actimo surveys can include conditional branching — different contacts see different questions based on prior responses. HubSpot surveys support basic conditional logic but do not replicate Actimo's full branching model. Complex branching surveys will have responses mapped per contact, but the conditional path taken may not be fully reconstructable in HubSpot without a custom solution. We document the branching structure and map all answered questions individually so no response data is lost, even if the conditional flow itself is flattened.

  • Actimo contact-to-contact associations (managers, peers) map to text fields only

    Actimo supports manager-employee relationships and peer group associations within workspaces. HubSpot contacts do not have a native peer or manager relationship field. We map the manager relationship to a custom text property (Manager_Email__c) that can be used in HubSpot Workflows for routing and notifications, but it is not a native lookup relationship between contact records. Teams requiring hierarchical contact views with drill-down capabilities in HubSpot will need to implement a custom contact object to represent organizational hierarchies or use a third-party hierarchy management tool after migration is complete.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Actimo to HubSpot data migration

  1. Audit Actimo data inventory and define custom property schema

    FlitStack extracts a full inventory of Actimo contacts, training module completion records, survey response fields, and engagement metrics via the platform's export API. We identify all custom profile fields, training path names, and survey question identifiers. Based on this inventory, we build a HubSpot custom property schema plan — naming conventions, field types (date, number, pick-list, text), and which fields belong on Contact versus Company. This plan is reviewed and approved before any migration artifacts are created.

  2. Create HubSpot custom properties and validate field types

    We create all required HubSpot custom contact properties in your destination HubSpot portal before data is loaded. Training completion fields (date, boolean), quiz score fields (number), engagement score fields (number), and survey response fields (long-text or pick-list) are all created with the correct field types. We validate that pick-list values in HubSpot match Actimo's enumerated values before proceeding to the test migration.

  3. Run sample migration with field-level diff on 50–100 records

    A representative slice of Actimo records — spanning contacts with training completions, survey responses, and varied engagement scores — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values so you can verify mapping accuracy before the full run. This includes confirming date field formats, number field precision, and that survey open-ended text rendered correctly in HubSpot's long-text properties.

  4. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    The full Actimo dataset migrates into HubSpot using the validated field mapping. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any Actimo records modified or created during the migration run. FlitStack uses scoped read access on Actimo throughout — your team continues working in Actimo normally during this window. All records are linked to HubSpot owners via email match, and unassigned contacts are flagged for manual routing before the final reconciliation report is delivered.

  5. Deliver reconciliation report and Actimo workflow reference export

    FlitStack generates a reconciliation report showing record counts by object, mapping pass rates, and any unmapped or partially-mapped fields. Unmatched owner emails and any records that failed validation are listed with the original Actimo values so your team can correct and re-import. We also deliver an exported Actimo workflow definitions document — capturing sequence names, trigger conditions, and enrollment rules — so your HubSpot admin has a reference to rebuild communication automations in HubSpot Workflows.

Source

Strengths

  • Purpose-built for deskless workers without relying on desktop login or email
  • Gamified onboarding and microlearning reduce time-to-productivity for front-line staff
  • Automated HR system sync keeps employee rosters current without manual maintenance
  • Real-time engagement dashboards surface participation gaps by location or team
  • Multi-language support enables deployment across multinational workforces

Weaknesses

  • No publicly documented API or bulk data export endpoints, limiting programmatic migration options
  • Pricing is opaque and requires direct sales engagement, making cost-of-migration estimates difficult
  • Minimal independent review presence (12 Capterra, 1 G2) limits peer validation during vendor evaluation
  • Platform lacks account management, deal tracking, or pipeline objects—narrowly scoped to engagement
  • Competitors offer broader workforce management features while Actimo remains focused on comms and learning

Strengths

  • Genuinely useful free CRM tier with no seat limit on contact records.
  • All-in-one sales engagement layer (sequences, email tracking, calling, dialer) embedded natively in the CRM, eliminating a separate integration.
  • Intuitive interface and fast onboarding for individual reps, per G2 and Capterra reviews.
  • Workflow automation triggers across contacts, deals, and tickets with a visual builder.
  • API coverage for all standard objects including custom objects at Enterprise tier.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is contact-based at the marketing layer — importing all records as marketing contacts can multiply the monthly bill by 4×.
  • Feature tier cliffs are frequent surprises: sequences, calling, advanced reporting, and quoting are all gated, often requiring plan upgrades mid-implementation.
  • Mandatory onboarding fees at Professional ($1,500) and Enterprise ($3,500) are not prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
  • API rate limits are restrictive for bulk migration — burst limits of 100-200 req/10sec and search endpoint limits of 4 req/sec require careful job queuing.
  • Custom objects, additional pipelines, and advanced forecasting are Enterprise-only, making cost projections difficult for growing teams.
