Overview
Teams migrate from CINC to HubSpot when they need a CRM built for broader sales, marketing, and service operations beyond HOA and property management. CINC stores homeowner contacts, property records, HOA-specific deals, work orders, violations, and accounting data as primary objects. HubSpot uses a contact-centric model with companies, deals, and tickets. The core migration challenge is re-centering CINC's property-first data model around HubSpot's contact-first structure — properties become HubSpot companies, homeowners become contacts linked to those companies, and CINC-specific objects such as work orders, violations, and accounting records migrate as custom objects or custom properties in HubSpot. CINC's Speed-to-Lead automations, behavioral messaging workflows, and reporting configurations do not transfer and must be rebuilt manually in HubSpot. FlitStack extracts CINC data via its REST API, maps and transforms all standard and custom objects, then loads the data into HubSpot using the Contacts API, Companies API, Deals API, and Objects API for custom objects. Owner resolution is performed by matching CINC owner email addresses to HubSpot user IDs, and a post‑migration validation report is generated to confirm record counts, field values, and association chains.
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 CINC 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.
CINC
Contact (Homeowner)
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Direct map. CINC homeowner contacts map to HubSpot contacts. CINC records one primary contact per property — that contact is flagged as primary and receives the primary AccountId lookup in HubSpot. Additional contacts migrate as separate HubSpot contacts linked to the same company. If duplicate email addresses exist across contacts, FlitStack flags them for merge or archive prior to migration to maintain data integrity.
CINC
Contact (Agent/Team Member)
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Direct map. CINC agent contacts map to HubSpot contacts. Email uniqueness enforced in HubSpot — duplicate emails across contacts require merge or archive before migration. Agent contacts include team members, property managers, and staff; their roles can be stored in a custom property or the jobtitle field. If an agent appears in multiple CINC accounts, FlitStack consolidates those entries into a single HubSpot contact based on the matching email address, preserving all role information.
CINC
Property
HubSpot
Company
1:1CINC property records become HubSpot companies. Property name maps to Company Name, address maps to address fields, and the original CINC property ID is stored as a custom property for reference. CINC property type (single-family, condo, HOA) maps to a custom Industry value or custom property. Additional attributes such as year built, number of units, and HOA fees migrate as custom properties, and homeowner contacts are linked via the AccountId lookup.
CINC
Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Direct map. CINC deals map to HubSpot deals. Deal name, amount, and close date migrate directly, and the CINC deal ID is stored as a custom property. Pipeline stage maps to HubSpot deal stage via value mapping, and the deal owner is resolved by matching the CINC owner email to a HubSpot user ID. Any additional deal-specific custom fields migrate as custom properties on the HubSpot deal record.
CINC
Pipeline
HubSpot
Deal Pipeline
1:1CINC pipeline (sales pipeline) maps to a HubSpot deal pipeline. Each CINC pipeline becomes a separate HubSpot pipeline, and teams with multiple CINC pipelines must have corresponding HubSpot pipelines pre-created. The stage names within each pipeline are mapped via value mapping to HubSpot deal stages, and stage probabilities are set according to HubSpot defaults or your specifications. Any pipeline-level custom properties are transferred as custom properties on the pipeline record.
CINC
Pipeline Stage
HubSpot
Deal Stage
1:1Stage names are mapped value-by-value between CINC stages (New Lead, Showing Scheduled, Under Contract, Closed Won, etc.) and HubSpot deal stages. Stage probabilities are reapplied from HubSpot defaults or your specified values. Any custom properties attached to a stage migrate as custom properties on the HubSpot deal stage. The mapping is reviewed with your team before migration to ensure accuracy.
CINC
Work Order
HubSpot
Custom Object (WorkOrder__c)
1:1CINC work orders (maintenance requests, architectural requests) have no HubSpot standard equivalent. They migrate as a HubSpot custom object with fields for work order number, type, status, priority, assigned vendor, and property link. Junction object needed if N:N with properties.
CINC
Violation
HubSpot
Custom Object (Violation__c)
1:1CINC violation records have no HubSpot standard equivalent. They migrate as a HubSpot custom object with fields for violation type, status, date opened, fine amount, resolution date, and property link. Violation history preserved as activity records on the custom object.
CINC
Accounting Record
HubSpot
Custom Properties on Company/Deal
1:1CINC accounting module data (rent rolls, charges, payments, owner ledgers) has no HubSpot equivalent. Key financial fields migrate as custom properties on the company record (for property-level financials) or deal record (for transaction-level financials). Full accounting history stored as custom fields for reference.
CINC
Owner
HubSpot
HubSpot User (OwnerId)
1:1CINC Owner field resolves to HubSpot users by email match. Unmatched owners flagged before migration — teams either create HubSpot users first or assign records to a fallback owner. Active CINC users who are not yet HubSpot users delay migration until user provisioning completes.
CINC
Attachment / File
HubSpot
HubSpot Files
1:1CINC file attachments (documents, images, correspondence) are re‑uploaded to HubSpot Files and linked to the appropriate object record using file URLs. Original file names and metadata (e.g., created date, author) are preserved where possible. HubSpot's file size limits apply, and any inline images embedded in notes are extracted, downloaded, and rehosted as HubSpot file assets. After migration, you can view or download the files directly from the linked record.

Migration approach
Extract and profile CINC data via API
FlitStack connects to CINC's REST API and exports all primary objects: contacts, properties, deals, work orders, violations, and accounting records. The export respects API pagination and rate limits, capturing a snapshot of the current state and any incremental changes made during the process. We run data profiling to validate record counts, field-level null rates, and foreign-key completeness (owner assignments, property-contact links). A data quality report identifies duplicate emails, orphaned records, inconsistent date formats, and fields that need pre‑migration cleanup before mapping begins.
Design HubSpot schema and custom object definitions
Based on the data profile, FlitStack delivers a HubSpot setup plan: custom properties to create on contact and company objects, custom object schemas for work orders and violations (including lookup fields back to company), pipeline and stage configuration, and owner structure. HubSpot Enterprise or Professional with custom objects is required before migration data can land. This plan is reviewed and approved before any objects are created in your HubSpot portal.
Map CINC objects to HubSpot objects and run owner resolution
CINC properties map to HubSpot companies. CINC homeowner contacts map to HubSpot contacts linked to those companies. CINC owner fields resolve by email match to HubSpot user IDs — unmatched owners are flagged with a resolution list. Deals, work orders, and violations map to their respective HubSpot objects and custom objects. We build a full mapping matrix reviewed by your team before test migration runs.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first — spanning contacts, companies, deals, and custom object records. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values so you can verify property mapping, association resolution, and owner assignment. The diff is presented in a downloadable report that highlights any discrepancies, missing values, or incorrect lookups. This sample run also confirms that custom object schemas are correctly populated and that lookup fields reference the right HubSpot company IDs. Any mapping errors surface here before the full production run. This step is required sign‑off before cutover.
Execute full migration and validate
All validated records migrate to HubSpot. FlitStack generates a post-migration validation report comparing record counts, field-value samples, and association chains against the CINC source. Your team spot-checks key accounts, deals, and custom object records. Once validation passes, CINC is set to read-only and your team begins working in HubSpot. A 24–48 hour delta window captures any records modified during cutover. Audit log records every operation; rollback is available if reconciliation fails.
