Overview
Brivity and HubSpot both model contacts, companies, and deals, but the real divergence lives in Brivity's property-centric data model and HubSpot's lifecycle-stage and deal-pipeline architecture. Brivity stores real estate transaction data — listing address, MLS number, transaction type — as fields on its Transaction and Property objects. HubSpot has no native property or listing object; these fields must land as custom properties on the Deal object, and your HubSpot admin defines deal-stage names to match Brivity's Active, Under Contract, and Closed stages. FlitStack AI extracts Brivity contacts with their owner assignments, companies with domain and address data, and transactions with all property-related fields, maps them to HubSpot contacts, accounts, and deals, creates the required custom deal properties (Listing_Address__c, MLS_Number__c, Transaction_Type__c) in HubSpot's property schema, and migrates historical activities (tasks, notes, call logs) with original timestamps and owner links. Workflows, action plans, and auto-responders do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder using a FlitStack-provided export of your Brivity automation definitions as a rebuild reference. The migration uses Brivity's API for record extraction and HubSpot's API for import, with a 24–48 hour delta-pickup window capturing in-flight changes during cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Brivity 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.
Brivity
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Brivity contacts map 1:1 to HubSpot contacts. Owner assignment resolves by email match against HubSpot users. Brivity's lead status field migrates as a HubSpot contact property and can optionally gate enrollment in HubSpot workflows. This mapping preserves all contact details, including phone numbers, addresses, and custom fields, ensuring continuity of communication history.
Brivity
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Brivity companies map to HubSpot companies. Brivity's company domain, phone, address, and industry fields map to their HubSpot counterparts. Multi-address records collapse to the primary address; secondary addresses stored as a custom property. All company records retain original create dates and owner assignments, supporting accurate historical reporting after migration.
Brivity
Lead (status-based)
HubSpot
Contact
1:manyBrivity has no separate Lead object; leads are contacts with a lead status property. All Brivity leads migrate as HubSpot contacts. Teams wanting HubSpot Leads can route contacts by lifecycle stage using a post-migration workflow. This approach ensures that no lead data is lost during the transition.
Brivity
Transaction / Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Brivity transactions map to HubSpot deals. Deal name uses Brivity's transaction title or address. Deal stage names (Active, Under Contract, Closed) must be configured in HubSpot's deal pipeline to match Brivity's real estate stages before migration. Failure to pre-configure the stages will cause unmapped stage values in HubSpot, requiring post-migration cleanup.
Brivity
Transaction Type
HubSpot
Deal.custom property: Transaction_Type__c
1:1Brivity transaction type (Buyer, Seller, Listing, Rental) has no HubSpot native equivalent. We create a Transaction_Type__c custom pick-list property on the Deal object and map each value directly. Stage order reconfigured to reflect real estate lifecycle. This ensures consistent categorization of deals and enables filtering by transaction type in reports and dashboards.
Brivity
Property
HubSpot
Deal.custom property fields
1:1Brivity's Property object (listing address, MLS number, list price, beds, baths) has no HubSpot equivalent. Listing address maps to a Listing_Address__c custom property on Deal; MLS number maps to MLS_Number__c; property details stored in deal description or additional custom properties.
Brivity
Activity / Task
HubSpot
Engagement (Task, Call, Meeting, Note)
1:1Brivity tasks, call logs, and notes map to HubSpot engagements with original timestamps and owner links preserved. Task status (completed, deferred, waiting) maps to HubSpot engagement state. Completed tasks appear as logged engagements on the contact record. This ensures that all communication history is searchable and attributable to the correct owner after migration.
Brivity
Attachment / File
HubSpot
HubSpot Files (attached to contact, company, or deal)
1:1Brivity file attachments on contacts, companies, or transactions are re-uploaded to HubSpot Files and associated with the corresponding record. File size limits per HubSpot's storage tier apply. Inline images in notes are downloaded and rehosted. This preserves document context and maintains links to related contacts, companies, or deals.
Brivity
Brivity Owner / Agent
HubSpot
HubSpot User
1:1Brivity owner and agent records resolve by email match against HubSpot users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration; you either invite them to HubSpot first or assign their records to a designated fallback user. This prevents orphaned records and ensures every activity links to an active HubSpot user for accountability.
Brivity
Brivity Action Plans / Automations
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflows
1:1Brivity Action Plans (automated follow-up sequences, lead response triggers, task creation rules) have no HubSpot equivalent and do not migrate. FlitStack exports Action Plan definitions as a reference document your HubSpot admin uses to rebuild triggers in HubSpot's workflow builder.
Brivity
Lead Source
HubSpot
HubSpot contact property: hs_analytics_source
1:1Brivity lead source values (Website, Referral, Zillow, Realtor.com, etc.) map to HubSpot's hs_analytics_source standard property or a custom lead source pick-list depending on your HubSpot tier. Custom lead sources require value-by-value mapping. This ensures accurate source attribution in reports and supports workflow enrollment based on lead origin.
Brivity
Brivity ID / internal record ID
HubSpot
HubSpot custom property: Source_CRM_ID__c
1:1Brivity's internal record IDs are stored as Source_CRM_ID__c custom properties on HubSpot contacts, companies, and deals. This enables delta-run de-duplication and traceability back to the source Brivity record. During subsequent data refreshes, the ID mapping allows FlitStack to identify and update existing records without creating duplicates.

Migration approach
Inventory Brivity data model and configure HubSpot deal pipeline
FlitStack reviews your Brivity export to identify all objects in use (contacts, companies, transactions, properties, tasks, notes), maps real estate-specific fields (listing address, MLS number, transaction type) to HubSpot custom deal properties, and delivers a pre-migration HubSpot setup checklist. Your HubSpot admin creates the deal stages matching Brivity's Active, Under Contract, Pending, and Closed labels, creates the custom deal properties (Listing_Address__c, MLS_Number__c, Transaction_Type__c, etc.), and confirms user accounts exist for all Brivity owners.
Resolve Brivity owners by email match against HubSpot users
FlitStack runs an owner-resolution pass across all Brivity records — contacts, companies, transactions, and tasks. Each Brivity owner email is matched against HubSpot user records. Any owner without a corresponding HubSpot account is flagged with a fallback assignment recommendation. Migration does not proceed to the full run until all owner assignments are confirmed. This prevents records from landing in HubSpot without an assigned owner.
Migrate companies and contacts before deals
HubSpot requires companies to exist before contacts can associate to them, and contacts to exist before deals can associate to them. FlitStack sequences the migration so companies land first, then contacts with their company associations and lead status mappings, then transactions as deals with property fields and owner assignments. This ordering ensures foreign keys resolve correctly and contact-deal associations reflect Brivity's original relationships.
Run sample migration with field-level diff before full execution
A representative slice of 50–100 records migrates first — spanning contacts, companies, deals with property data, and a few tasks or notes. FlitStack generates a field-level diff showing the source Brivity value and the destination HubSpot value for every mapped field. You verify that transaction stages landed as the correct HubSpot deal stages, custom property values (listing address, MLS number, transaction type) appear on the deal record, and owner assignments resolved correctly before the full migration commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full migration runs against HubSpot's API. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in Brivity during the cutover. FlitStack's audit log records every operation — each Brivity record ID, the destination HubSpot ID, and the timestamp of the write. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. After validation, your team goes live in HubSpot with all historical transaction data, property details, and activity history intact.
