Overview
Clientjoy organizes clients around a unified Leads object that covers both raw prospects and paying customers, with an optional Companies association, a flat Deals pipeline, and invoice documents. HubSpot separates Leads from Contacts using the lifecycle_stage property, enforces a formal Companies object, tracks Deals within named pipelines, and has no native invoice construct. The migration imports every Clientjoy contact, company, deal, and custom field into HubSpot, creates HubSpot custom properties for any Clientjoy fields lacking a built-in equivalent, and preserves original create dates and modification timestamps as reference properties so historical data remains visible. Clientjoy email sequences, workflows, and document templates cannot be transferred directly; FlitStack exports their definitions as structured JSON so your HubSpot admin can rebuild Sequences and Workflows. Data moves via Clientjoy's API export, validated against the target schema, then a sample diff run confirms mapping accuracy before the full cutover. A delta-pickup window (typically 24-48 hours after the initial run) captures any records created or modified during cutover, and an audit log records every operation for traceability.
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 Clientjoy 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.
Clientjoy
Leads (raw leads)
HubSpot
Contact (as HubSpot Lead — pre-lifecycle)
1:1Clientjoy leads that have not reached a converted status become HubSpot Contacts with no lifecycle stage set. HubSpot stores them as Contacts (or optionally as HubSpot Leads) and sets lifecycle_stage to null or Subscriber. Their original createdate migrates as a custom reference field since HubSpot's CreatedDate is stamped at migration time.
Clientjoy
Leads (converted customers)
HubSpot
Contact (lifecycle_stage = customer)
1:1Clientjoy leads that are paying customers map to HubSpot Contacts with lifecycle_stage set to 'Customer'. FlitStack inspects the Clientjoy lead's status, invoice history, or a 'converted' flag to determine which routing applies. Original create date, last modified date, and owner are all preserved on the HubSpot Contact record.
Clientjoy
Companies
HubSpot
Company
1:1Clientjoy companies map to HubSpot Companies. If Clientjoy stores a company on a lead record without a separate Companies object, FlitStack creates a HubSpot Company from that embedded data. Clientjoy does not support parent-child hierarchies, so all companies land as standalone records in HubSpot regardless of any implicit relationships in the source data.
Clientjoy
Deals (with pipeline + stage)
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Clientjoy deal pipeline and stage are stored as two separate fields on the deal. These map to HubSpot's Deal pipeline and dealstage fields directly. If the Clientjoy pipeline name does not exist in HubSpot yet, we create it during the migration plan phase so stage values land in the correct pipeline on first import.
Clientjoy
Pipeline Stage values
HubSpot
Deal stage (per pipeline)
1:1Each Clientjoy pipeline-stage name maps to a HubSpot Deal stage value. The mapping is value-by-value: Prospect maps to Prospect, Qualification to Qualified, Closed Won to Closed Won, and so on. If a Clientjoy stage has no HubSpot equivalent, we create a matching stage in the target pipeline before migration runs.
Clientjoy
Invoice records
HubSpot
Custom object: Clientjoy_Invoices__c
1:1HubSpot has no native invoice object, so Clientjoy invoices migrate as a custom object. We create a Clientjoy_Invoices__c object with fields for invoice number, date, amount, status, client name (as a contact lookup), and line items as a text area or custom product lookup. Payment transaction history and tax calculations are stored as custom fields or noted for manual re-entry because Clientjoy's invoice model does not map 1:1 to any HubSpot construct.
Clientjoy
Documents (file attachments)
HubSpot
HubSpot Files
1:1Clientjoy document attachments and uploaded files are downloaded from Clientjoy's storage and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files. Each file is associated with the relevant Contact, Company, or Deal record in HubSpot using the file-to-record linking. File metadata (original filename, upload date, uploader) is preserved in HubSpot's file properties.
Clientjoy
Custom fields on Leads
HubSpot
Contact custom properties
1:1Clientjoy custom fields on leads become HubSpot Contact custom properties. Users (or our team) create the custom properties in HubSpot before migration using the same label and field type, and FlitStack then populates them during the import. Multi-select pick-list fields in Clientjoy map to HubSpot checkbox or multi-checkbox properties, which users verify post-migration.
Clientjoy
Email sequences (automation logic)
HubSpot
No equivalent (rebuilt as HubSpot Sequences)
1:1Clientjoy email sequences store automation logic including step order, delay timing, and email body templates. This data does not exist in HubSpot as a migratable object. We export a structured JSON reference of your sequence definitions (step order, delays, templates, subject lines) that your HubSpot admin uses to rebuild the sequences inside HubSpot Sequences.
Clientjoy
Workflows and automation rules
HubSpot
No equivalent (rebuilt as HubSpot Workflows)
1:1Clientjoy workflow definitions (triggers, conditions, and actions) cannot transfer to HubSpot because HubSpot Workflows operate on a different event model. FlitStack exports the Clientjoy workflow definitions as a rebuild reference document, and our team can connect your HubSpot admin to the HubSpot Workflow builder to recreate each automation.
Clientjoy
Email templates
HubSpot
HubSpot Marketing Email templates (manual copy)
1:1Clientjoy email templates (subject lines, body copy, merge fields) are exported as HTML text files. HubSpot Marketing Email templates require recreation inside HubSpot's template editor. We deliver the exported HTML and a merge-field mapping table so your team can paste content into HubSpot templates without losing formatting.
Clientjoy
Clientjoy Owner / User
HubSpot
HubSpot User (matched by email)
1:1Clientjoy owner assignments on leads, customers, and deals resolve to HubSpot users by email match. If a Clientjoy owner email does not find a matching HubSpot user, the record is flagged before migration. You can invite the user to HubSpot first or assign their records to a fallback HubSpot owner before the full run starts.

Migration approach
Discover and plan the HubSpot schema before any data moves
FlitStack audits your Clientjoy account: object counts, custom field definitions, pipeline names, owner list, and any invoice records that exist. We then deliver a HubSpot setup plan — which custom properties to create, which pipeline to set up, and whether a custom invoice object is needed. You create the HubSpot custom properties and pipelines before data lands, so validation runs against a complete schema on day one.
Resolve owner and user accounts by email match
Clientjoy owner IDs are resolved against HubSpot user email addresses. We run a pre-flight check that flags every Clientjoy owner without a matching HubSpot user account. Your team either invites those users to HubSpot or designates a fallback owner before the migration. No CRM record lands without an owner assignment — orphan records are held and reported, not skipped silently.
Migrate companies first, then contacts, then deals
HubSpot requires Companies to exist before Contacts can associate to them (via associatedcompanyid), and Contacts to exist before Deals can link to them via deal associations. We sequence the migration: Companies land in HubSpot first, then Contacts with their Company lookups resolved, then Deals with their Contact and Company links. Invoice records follow as a custom object after the contact association is established.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff before full cutover
A representative slice — typically 100–300 records covering contacts, companies, deals, and at least one invoice — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against HubSpot field values so you can verify lifecycle stage routing, company lookup resolution, pipeline mapping, and owner assignment. You approve the sample before the full run commits. This step catches mapping errors before they affect your entire database.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback capability
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback capability. The full dataset migrates into HubSpot. FlitStack maintains scoped read access on Clientjoy throughout the migration window so your team can continue working. A delta-pickup window (typically 24-48 hours after the full run) captures any records created or modified during cutover. An audit log records every operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals a data integrity issue. Automated validation checks verify record counts and field completeness after the migration completes.
