Overview
Contlo positions itself as an AI-native marketing platform for ecommerce brands and growth-stage companies, offering campaign automation, customer journey orchestration, and AI agents that run outreach sequences. Its data model centers on contacts with behavioral attributes, companies, campaigns with engagement metrics, and automations that trigger based on audience segments. HubSpot CRM unifies contacts, companies, and deals under a single object graph, with lifecycle_stage tracking buyer progression, deal pipelines managing sales workflows, and lists or custom properties handling segmentation. The migration carries Contlo's contact records, company records, campaign engagement history (opens, clicks, sends), and any custom properties into HubSpot contacts and companies. Contlo automations, AI agent configurations, and segment definitions cannot migrate — they require manual rebuild in HubSpot's workflow builder and list/filter logic. HubSpot's marketing-contact billing flag has no equivalent in Contlo's model, so FlitStack preserves contlo_contact_type as a custom property for reporting continuity. We sequence the migration so contact-company associations resolve before deals land, run a sample migration with field-level diff, and apply a delta-pickup window during cutover to capture in-flight changes.
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 Contlo 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.
Contlo
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Direct map. Contlo contact records land as HubSpot contacts with original email, phone, name, and address fields preserved. Owner resolution happens by email match against HubSpot users — unmatched owners flagged before migration commits. The mapping preserves the original create date as a custom field since HubSpot sets its own creation timestamp at import time. All standard contact properties transfer directly without transformation.
Contlo
Contact (AI agent interaction fields)
HubSpot
Contact (custom properties)
1:1Contlo tracks AI agent interactions as custom contact attributes. We migrate these as HubSpot custom properties using the contlo_ prefix to preserve traceability. HubSpot has no native AI agent interaction field — manual analysis determines which metrics to surface in HubSpot workflows.
Contlo
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Direct map. Contlo company records map to HubSpot companies. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue fields migrate as HubSpot standard properties. Multi-contact companies resolve to one HubSpot company record with associated contacts. The original Contlo company creation timestamp is preserved as a custom datetime property since HubSpot sets its own create date at import time.
Contlo
Campaign (email/SMS)
HubSpot
Campaign
1:1Contlo campaign records migrate as HubSpot campaigns with membership preserved. Engagement metrics (open rate, click rate, send volume) migrate as HubSpot custom numeric properties because HubSpot tracks engagement differently. Original send timestamps are preserved as campaign custom datetime fields. Campaign status and type map directly to HubSpot campaign fields. Each contact's campaign membership history is preserved in HubSpot's campaign member object.
Contlo
Segment
HubSpot
List / Smart List
1:1Contlo segment definitions do not migrate as HubSpot lists or smart lists because the underlying filter logic differs between platforms. FlitStack exports segment logic as a rebuild reference document with filter criteria mapped to HubSpot's list builder syntax. Teams recreate segments in HubSpot using static lists or smart lists, or through HubSpot's Contacts filter, guided by the exported segment criteria document delivered in the migration package.
Contlo
Automation
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflow
1:1Contlo automations — multi-step flows with conditional branches, delay nodes, and AI agent calls — cannot migrate to HubSpot workflows due to architectural differences. FlitStack exports automation definitions as a structured JSON file plus human-readable documentation for manual rebuild in HubSpot's workflow builder. The export includes trigger conditions, each automation step, branch logic, and AI agent configuration details so teams can recreate equivalent workflows in HubSpot.
Contlo
AI Agent
HubSpot
Custom Properties + Documentation
1:1Contlo AI agents (voice agents, outbound agents) have no HubSpot equivalent. Agent configuration, prompt templates, and conversation logic are exported as a rebuild reference. Teams implement equivalent functionality in HubSpot using Workflows, Sequences, and calling logic via HubSpot's API or partner tools.
Contlo
Engagement (email opens, clicks)
HubSpot
Contact timeline / Campaign member activity
1:1Contlo engagement events (opens, clicks, unsubscribes) populate HubSpot contact timelines as engagement notes. HubSpot does not store granular per-email engagement as separate records — instead, we attach a consolidated engagement summary to the contact and preserve raw data in a custom long-text field.
Contlo
Custom Contact Attribute
HubSpot
Contact (custom property)
1:1Any Contlo custom contact attributes migrate as HubSpot custom properties with the contlo_ prefix. Property type (text, number, date, dropdown) is inferred from the source data. Picklist values are mapped value-by-value where HubSpot dropdown options exist or created as new options.
Contlo
Owner / User
HubSpot
User
1:1Contlo users and owners resolve to HubSpot users by email address match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — teams either create HubSpot user accounts first or assign records to a fallback owner. Owner history is preserved as a custom field on each record.

Migration approach
Audit Contlo data model and export via API
FlitStack connects to Contlo via API using scoped read access. We enumerate all contact, company, campaign, engagement log, and custom attribute records, then export the full dataset in structured JSON. We also export automation definitions and AI agent configurations as separate JSON files for the rebuild reference package. The audit identifies record counts per object, custom property names and types, and any data quality issues (missing email, duplicate records, orphaned company associations) before mapping begins.
Map Contlo objects to HubSpot objects and custom properties
We map Contlo contacts to HubSpot contacts, companies to HubSpot companies, and campaigns to HubSpot campaigns with engagement preserved as custom properties. Contlo custom properties are created in HubSpot using the HubSpot API before data lands. Any property type conflicts (e.g., picklist values that do not exist in HubSpot) are resolved by creating new HubSpot dropdown options. Owner email addresses are prepared for resolution against HubSpot user list.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first — spanning contacts, companies, and campaign members. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values for every mapped property. You review the diff to verify custom property creation, segment ID preservation, and campaign metric mapping before the full run commits. Any mapping errors are corrected and the sample re-run until the diff is clean.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset migrates in sequenced batches: companies first (HubSpot requires company records before contacts), then contacts with owner resolution, then campaign membership with engagement summaries. During cutover, a delta-pickup window captures any Contlo records modified or created while the migration runs. All operations are logged to an audit trail. One-click rollback reverts the HubSpot instance to pre-migration state if reconciliation fails.
Deliver rebuild reference package and post-migration validation
FlitStack delivers the automation export JSON, segment rebuild documents, and AI agent configuration reference as a structured package. We run post-migration validation comparing Contlo record counts against HubSpot record counts per object, and spot-check custom property values against source data. You receive a migration report showing record counts, any unresolved owner mappings, and data quality flags that require manual cleanup in HubSpot. The report includes recommendations for rebuilding automations and segments in HubSpot's workflow builder.
