Overview
Axelor CRM and HubSpot take fundamentally different approaches to data organization. Axelor uses a unified third-party model that combines contact and company data in a single object, with opportunities for deal tracking and a built-in BPM engine for workflows. HubSpot separates contacts and companies into distinct objects, uses lifecycle stage as the primary contact property, and manages deals through customizable pipelines with stage-based probability. FlitStack AI extracts data from Axelor via its REST API and REST API endpoints, then maps and transforms each record into HubSpot's object model. Third parties that represent people map to HubSpot contacts; those flagged as companies map to HubSpot companies; opportunities become deals with their associated pipeline and stage values. Activity history — calls, meetings, tasks — migrates with original timestamps and owner links preserved. Custom fields from Axelor translate to HubSpot custom properties, with type-aware mapping for dates, numbers, and pick-lists. Axelor's BPM workflows, automation rules, and process definitions do not transfer — those require manual rebuild using HubSpot's workflow builder. We run a test migration against a representative sample before the full cutover so you can validate field-level accuracy and object relationships before HubSpot goes live.
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 Axelor CRM 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.
Axelor CRM
Third Party (type = Person)
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Axelor third parties flagged as persons map to HubSpot contacts. The Axelor name field splits into HubSpot firstname and lastname — if Axelor stores a single full-name field, FlitStack parses by space and flags unmappable cases for review before migration commits.
Axelor CRM
Third Party (type = Company)
HubSpot
Company
1:1Axelor third parties flagged as companies — or those with no person-type flag but with a company name — map directly to HubSpot companies. The primary address on the Axelor third party becomes the HubSpot company address. Corporate parent links map to HubSpot's parent company field when present.
Axelor CRM
Third Party (no type specified)
HubSpot
Contact + Company
1:manyWhen an Axelor third party has no type indicator, FlitStack applies a heuristic: records with an email address and no company name route to HubSpot contacts; records with a company name and no personal email route to HubSpot companies. Your team confirms the split rule before the test migration runs.
Axelor CRM
Lead Status
HubSpot
Contact.lifecycle_stage + hs_lead_status
1:1Axelor lead status values (New, Qualified, In Progress, Lost, Won) map to HubSpot lifecycle stage and sales-ready status. We preserve the original Axelor status value in a custom property and apply a default HubSpot lifecycle stage mapping — typically 'Lead' for New and In Progress, 'Customer' for Won, and a null or archived state for Lost.
Axelor CRM
Opportunity
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Axelor opportunities map 1:1 to HubSpot deals. The opportunity name becomes the deal name, the expected revenue amount maps to deal amount, the close date maps to close date, and the assigned user maps by email match to a HubSpot owner. Pipeline stage values map value-by-value to HubSpot deal pipeline stages.
Axelor CRM
Opportunity Pipeline / Stage
HubSpot
Deal Pipeline + Stage
1:1Axelor pipeline configurations — each with named stages — create corresponding HubSpot deal pipelines and stages. Stage names map value-by-value; stage probability is applied from HubSpot's defaults unless your team provides custom probability mappings per stage. Multiple Axelor pipelines create multiple HubSpot pipelines or a single pipeline with multiple stage sets.
Axelor CRM
Recurring Revenue field on Opportunity
HubSpot
Deal custom property
1:1Axelor's 'Manage recurrent revenue on opportunities' setting stores expected recurring amount and period on the opportunity. HubSpot has no native recurring revenue field on deals — we create a custom number field (Recurring_Amount__c) and a custom text field (Recurring_Period_Months__c) to preserve this data.
Axelor CRM
Activity (Call / Meeting / Task)
HubSpot
Call / Meeting / Task
1:1Axelor activities with type Call map to HubSpot calls, type Meeting to HubSpot meetings, and type Task to HubSpot tasks. Subject, description, due date, completed date, and assigned user (resolved by email) all transfer. Original creation timestamps are preserved as custom datetime fields since HubSpot's CreatedDate reflects the import date.
Axelor CRM
Note
HubSpot
Note
1:1Axelor notes attach to third parties and opportunities with text content and timestamps. They map directly to HubSpot notes, preserving the body text and associating to the correct contact, company, or deal record. Rich-text formatting in Axelor notes is simplified to plain text during migration.
Axelor CRM
Attachment / File
HubSpot
File
1:1Axelor file attachments on third parties and opportunities are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files. File name and description are preserved. Files attach to the corresponding HubSpot record by association. HubSpot's 25MB per-file limit applies — files over this threshold are flagged for manual handling.
Axelor CRM
User / Owner
HubSpot
User
1:1Axelor user records match to HubSpot users by email address. Unmatched users are flagged before migration — your team either creates HubSpot accounts for them first or assigns their records to a fallback owner. The Axelor user ID is stored as a custom field on the HubSpot user record for traceability.
Axelor CRM
Product / Catalogue Item
HubSpot
Product (in HubSpot Sales Hub)
1:1Axelor catalogue items — PDFs and product descriptions stored for sales reference — map to HubSpot products when Sales Hub Enterprise is active. Without Sales Hub, catalogue data migrates as notes on the associated opportunity. We surface this gap in the pre-migration assessment.
Axelor CRM
Custom Object (XML-defined)
HubSpot
Custom Object
1:1Axelor custom objects defined in XML model files map to HubSpot custom objects when the destination portal has Enterprise-tier access. Custom object associations that use Axelor's N:N model need HubSpot junction objects — we identify these in the migration plan and generate the schema before data loads.
Axelor CRM
Agency link on Third Party
HubSpot
Company or HubSpot Teams
1:1Axelor agency management links associate third parties with agency records. We map these to HubSpot companies when agencies are stored as company-type third parties, or to HubSpot Teams when the agency concept represents an internal sales team structure. Your team chooses the mapping in the pre-migration plan.

Migration approach
Audit Axelor data and map third-party split logic
FlitStack connects to your Axelor instance via its REST API and pulls a full export of third parties, opportunities, activities, and custom objects. We run a data-quality audit that identifies duplicate records, missing required fields, and third parties without a type indicator. For untyped third parties, we generate a split report showing which records would route to contacts versus companies based on the heuristic — your team confirms or adjusts the rule before the mapping plan is finalized.
Design HubSpot schema and create custom properties
Before any data loads, we set up the HubSpot portal side: creating custom properties for original create dates, source system IDs, Axelor lead status, recurring revenue fields, and any custom objects. If you have multiple Axelor pipelines, we configure corresponding HubSpot deal pipelines with stage names, probabilities, and forecast categories. This schema setup plan is delivered as a checklist so your HubSpot admin can review and approve before FlitStack initiates the migration run.
Resolve Axelor users to HubSpot owners by email
Axelor user records are matched to HubSpot users by email address. We generate an owner-resolution report that shows every Axelor user, their HubSpot match status, and the number of records they own. Unmatched users are flagged — your team either creates HubSpot user accounts for them before migration or designates a fallback owner. No record migrates without a resolved owner; the fallback owner receives all unmatched records so nothing is orphaned.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, and activities — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values for every mapped field. You verify that third-party-to-contact splits are correct, opportunity stage mapping produces the expected HubSpot deal stages, owner resolution worked for your user list, and activity associations link to the right records. The diff report is the sign-off gate before the full migration commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
After sample validation, FlitStack runs the full migration in dependency order: companies first (since contacts need a company to associate to), then contacts, then deals with pipeline and stage mapping, then activities and notes, then attachments. A delta-pickup window — typically 24–48 hours after the initial load completes — captures any records modified or created in Axelor during the cutover. The audit log records every operation; if reconciliation shows discrepancies above the agreed threshold, one-click rollback reverts the HubSpot portal to its pre-migration state.
Deliver reconciliation report and rebuild reference
FlitStack produces a post-migration reconciliation report comparing record counts, association counts, and field-populated rates between Axelor and HubSpot. Attachment upload status, untyped third-party handling, and owner resolution results are all documented. We deliver the Axelor workflow definitions as a structured PDF so your HubSpot admin has a reference for rebuilding automations. A 14-day post-migration support window covers questions about record placement, re-association, and data corrections.
