Overview

What this migration involves

AeronaClinic is a practice management system built for dental and health clinic operations — scheduling, clinical charting, patient portal, and payment collection via GoCardless and Stripe integration. HubSpot is a CRM platform that models contacts, companies, deals, and engagement activities. These are different product categories, so the migration is a data consolidation project rather than a feature-parity move. FlitStack AI extracts patient records, appointment history, treatment plans, practitioner assignments, and billing reference data from AeronaClinic. We map patients to HubSpot Contacts, companies/practices to HubSpot Companies, appointments to HubSpot Tasks and Meetings, and treatment plans to HubSpot Deals or custom properties. Insurance providers, referral doctor information, and procedure codes migrate as HubSpot custom contact properties since no native equivalent exists. Billing and payment records — transaction IDs, amounts, payment method — are stored as custom fields and Notes in HubSpot because HubSpot has no native invoice object. GoCardless and Stripe payment data cannot generate deal amounts automatically; those must be reconciled manually post-migration. What does not migrate: appointment reminder workflows, patient portal configurations, treatment-specific automation sequences, and GoCardless/Stripe payment integrations. Those must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder or handled as separate tooling decisions. We export AeronaClinic workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for your HubSpot admin. The migration runs via AeronaClinic's export tools and HubSpot's API and bulk import endpoints, sequenced so parent records (companies) exist before child records (contacts) and appointments attach to the correct contact and company after those resolve.

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

AeronaClinic

What's pushing teams away

  • Some practices find the feature set narrower than larger platforms like Dentrix Ascend or CareStack, reporting that advanced clinical workflows or specialist modules require third-party workarounds.
  • The lack of a mobile application means practitioners who want to chart or check schedules from a phone or tablet report friction compared to mobile-first alternatives.
  • Clinics with multiple locations or complex multi-practitioner setups report that reporting and analytics tools, while functional, are less flexible than what spreadsheet-based analysis can deliver.
  • Users occasionally cite the learning curve for staff unfamiliar with cloud-based interfaces, particularly for features like KPI dashboards and automated reporting that replace legacy paper or spreadsheet workflows.

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 AeronaClinic objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a AeronaClinic 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.

AeronaClinic

Patient

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic patient records map directly to HubSpot Contacts. All standard fields (name, DOB, contact details, address) transfer. Medical notes, allergies, and health conditions migrate as HubSpot custom contact properties. hs_object_id stores the AeronaClinic patient ID for traceability and delta-run de-duplication.

AeronaClinic

Company / Practice

maps to

HubSpot

Company

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic may store referring practices or multi-clinic group parent entities as separate records. These map to HubSpot Companies. Primary contact gets the Company association in HubSpot; secondary contacts get the Company association as well if the clinic is a HubSpot Company. HubSpot supports N:1 associations so multiple patients can associate to one referring practice Company.

AeronaClinic

Appointment

maps to

HubSpot

Task / Meeting

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic appointment records become HubSpot Tasks (for calls and tasks) and Meetings (for scheduled appointments). Appointment status, practitioner, procedure code, and type migrate as custom task properties. Original appointment timestamps are preserved on the HubSpot engagement record. Appointments attach to the correct patient Contact and the relevant Company.

AeronaClinic

Treatment Plan

maps to

HubSpot

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic treatment plans with estimated or completed costs map to HubSpot Deals. Procedure description, treatment codes, and cost estimates become custom deal properties. HubSpot deal stages (Appointment Booked, Treatment In Progress, Case Completed) map from AeronaClinic treatment plan status. One deal per treatment plan, associated to the patient Contact.

AeronaClinic

Insurance Provider

maps to

HubSpot

Custom property on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot has no native insurance provider field. AeronaClinic insurance provider data migrates as a custom contact property (Insurance_Provider__c) using a text or pick-list field depending on the source value set. Insurance policy number and group number also migrate as separate custom properties.

AeronaClinic

Referral Doctor

maps to

HubSpot

Custom property on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic referral doctor name and referral source map to HubSpot custom contact properties (Referral_Doctor_Name__c as text, Referral_Source__c as pick-list or text). HubSpot has no native referral tracking — these custom fields preserve the referral context for reporting and outreach segmentation. The referral doctor name field enables you to track which physicians send the most patients, attribute revenue to specific referral partners, and build outreach sequences for referring doctor practices. The referral source field captures how the patient found your clinic, such as NHS recommendation, private referral, or marketing campaign, supporting attribution reporting and ROI analysis across patient acquisition channels.

AeronaClinic

Practitioner / Clinician

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot User (Owner)

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic practitioner and clinician IDs resolve to HubSpot Users by email match. The practitioner name becomes a HubSpot User and that user is set as the Owner on migrated Contacts, Deals, and engagement records they were associated with in AeronaClinic. Unmatched practitioners are flagged for team assignment before migration.

AeronaClinic

Billing / Payment Record

maps to

HubSpot

Note / Custom Property

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic invoice and payment records (GoCardless/Stripe transaction IDs, amounts, payment status, method) have no native HubSpot equivalent. HubSpot has no invoice object. We store payment status, last transaction ID, and amount as custom fields on the Contact. Detailed payment history is preserved as a Note on the contact so the team has the full record for reference.

AeronaClinic

Patient Portal Login / Preferences

maps to

HubSpot

Not migrated

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic patient portal login records and patient preferences have no HubSpot equivalent. HubSpot's member-facing tools (forms, meeting links, portal features) require separate setup. We document the source portal configuration as a reference for rebuilding patient communication preferences in HubSpot or a dedicated portal tool.

AeronaClinic

Clinical Note / Charting

maps to

HubSpot

Note

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic clinical notes and charting records attach to HubSpot Contacts as Notes. The original note timestamp and practitioner association are preserved. Clinical notes are not structured data in AeronaClinic so they migrate as free-text Notes — your team decides whether to incorporate them into HubSpot's timeline or keep them as reference records.

AeronaClinic

Attachment / Document

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot File / Attachment

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic file attachments (treatment plan PDFs, consent forms, insurance documents) are re-uploaded to HubSpot Files and linked to the patient Contact record. File size limits apply (HubSpot default 10MB per file for attachments; larger files require alternative storage with a link stored in HubSpot). Inline images in clinical notes are downloaded and rehosted.

AeronaClinic

System ID / Timestamps

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Property

1:1
Fully supported

AeronaClinic patient ID stored as AeronaClinic_ID__c on the HubSpot Contact for traceability and delta-run de-duplication. Original create date and last modified date preserved as custom datetime properties (Original_Create_Date__c, Last_Synced_Date__c) since HubSpot's native createdate and lastmodifieddate reflect migration time rather than the source record's history.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Billing and payment records have no native HubSpot equivalent and cannot auto-generate deal amounts

    AeronaClinic stores invoice and payment records with GoCardless/Stripe transaction IDs, amounts, and payment status. HubSpot has no native invoice object — deals represent sales opportunities, not bills. We store payment status, last transaction ID, and amount as custom fields on the patient Contact, and detailed payment history as a Note. If your team needs to track invoice-level financials, HubSpot's Payments product or a third-party billing integration must be added post-migration. Treatment plan costs can become deal amounts if the team prefers that model over contact-level billing reference.

  • Patient portal and appointment reminder workflows cannot migrate and must be rebuilt

    AeronaClinic appointment reminders, patient portal login records, and treatment-alert automation are application-level workflow configurations with no HubSpot equivalent. These do not migrate — they have to be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder or replaced with HubSpot's meeting links, form autoresponders, and sequence steps. We export your AeronaClinic workflow definitions as a structured reference document so your HubSpot admin can rebuild them in the correct tool. GoCardless direct debit and Stripe recurring payment configurations also cannot migrate and must be re-established in HubSpot's payment integrations.

  • HubSpot custom properties must be created before migration — they cannot be auto-created by the import

    HubSpot requires custom properties to exist in the portal before data can populate them. AeronaClinic fields like allergies, medical conditions, insurance provider, referral source, procedure codes, and appointment status have no native HubSpot equivalents — they need custom contact properties and custom deal properties created first. We deliver a HubSpot custom property setup plan based on the AeronaClinic export, specifying the property name, type, and pick-list values. If your HubSpot portal already has custom properties, we match them by name. If not, we can create them on your behalf if you grant the necessary admin access.

  • Practitioner-to-HubSpot-User owner resolution requires email matching

    AeronaClinic practitioner and clinician IDs map to HubSpot Users (owners) so that migrated Contacts, Deals, and Tasks show the correct practitioner assignment. This requires practitioners to have HubSpot user accounts with matching email addresses. If AeronaClinic practitioners do not have HubSpot accounts, their records land without an owner and your team must either invite them to HubSpot first or reassign records to a fallback owner. We flag all unmatched practitioner IDs before migration so your team can resolve accounts proactively rather than discovering gaps at go-live.

  • HubSpot's free CRM tier does not include workflow automation — paid seats required for rebuilding automations

    AeronaClinic appointment reminder and patient notification workflows require HubSpot Professional or Enterprise seats to rebuild using HubSpot's workflow builder. If your team is moving to HubSpot's free CRM tier, automations cannot be recreated natively. You would need to upgrade to a paid seat or use a third-party automation tool (Zapier, Make) that connects HubSpot's free API to your communication tools. We document this as part of the migration plan so your team makes an informed seat-count decision before migration rather than discovering the limitation post-cutover.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful AeronaClinic to HubSpot data migration

  1. Extract and profile AeronaClinic data

    FlitStack AI pulls patient records, appointment history, treatment plans, practitioner assignments, and billing reference data from AeronaClinic using the platform's export tools or API endpoints. We profile the data to identify the full field inventory, value distributions for pick-list fields (appointment status, treatment status, insurance provider), and record volumes per object. The profiling output drives the HubSpot custom property setup plan and the field mapping specification.

  2. Design HubSpot custom properties and pipeline structure

    Based on the AeronaClinic field inventory, we design the HubSpot custom contact properties (allergies, medical conditions, insurance provider, referral source), custom deal properties (procedure code, treatment plan cost), and custom task properties (appointment type, procedure code, practitioner). We also design the HubSpot deal pipeline stages to mirror AeronaClinic treatment plan statuses. You create these properties in HubSpot (or grant us admin access to create them) before data migration begins.

  3. Map fields and resolve practitioner-to-user ownership

    Every AeronaClinic field maps to a HubSpot field — direct mappings for standard fields (firstname, lastname, email, phone), custom-property mappings for clinical and insurance data, and deal-property mappings for treatment plans. Practitioner and clinician IDs are matched to HubSpot Users by email address. Unmatched practitioners are flagged before migration so your team can invite them to HubSpot or assign their records to a fallback owner. This step produces the final migration specification reviewed and approved by your team.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 covering a range of patient types, appointment statuses, and treatment plans — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing the source AeronaClinic value and the destination HubSpot value for every mapped field so you can verify clinical data accuracy, insurance field population, appointment timestamps, and deal amount mapping. You approve the sample before the full run commits. If issues surface, we adjust the mapping and re-run the sample.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup and cutover

    The full dataset migrates to HubSpot with parent records (Companies) created first, then Contacts with their company associations, then Deals linked to contacts, then Tasks and Meetings for appointment history. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after the main run) captures any records created or modified in AeronaClinic during the cutover period. Your team continues working in AeronaClinic throughout. Audit log captures every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. After delta-pickup, you point your team to HubSpot and decommission the AeronaClinic integration.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • Fully cloud-based with no local server dependency, accessible from any browser on any device.
  • Integrated payment processing via GoCardless and Stripe with automatic reconciliation.
  • Patient Portal enables 24/7 appointment booking, form completion, and treatment plan viewing by patients.
  • Strong customer service reputation with 5.0/5.0 score for support on Capterra.
  • Built-in GDPR consent recording and e-signature features for UK/EU regulatory compliance.

Weaknesses

  • No native mobile application, limiting access for practitioners who prefer tablet or phone workflows.
  • Narrower feature set compared to enterprise dental platforms like Dentrix Ascend or CareStack, potentially requiring third-party integrations for specialist workflows.
  • The API documentation is password-protected and not publicly accessible, complicating third-party migration tooling and data export.
  • Limited published pricing information beyond the £45/month starting rate, with no public tier comparison.
  • Analytics and reporting dashboards are functional but lack the customisation depth that power users and multi-location practices require.

Destination

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.

Most AeronaClinic-to-HubSpot migrations complete in 48–72 hours of clock time for under 50,000 patient records. The timeline includes data extraction, profiling, HubSpot custom property creation, sample migration, full migration execution, and delta-pickup. Larger datasets with extensive treatment plan histories, multiple practitioners, or complex custom property sets extend to 5–7 days. The longest planning step is designing and creating HubSpot custom properties for clinical data, insurance fields, and appointment types before migration runs. FlitStack AI coordinates the sequencing so your team can continue working in AeronaClinic throughout.
