Overview
Creatio organizes data around entities with BPMN workflow logic baked into the schema. HubSpot uses a flat object model (Contact, Company, Deal, Ticket) with lifecycle_stage as the primary customer-progression field and deal pipelines as the stage container. The migration carries all Creatio standard entities — Account, Contact, Opportunity — into HubSpot's Company, Contact, and Deal objects. Custom entities migrate as HubSpot custom objects if your HubSpot plan is Enterprise; otherwise they become custom properties or are preserved as structured data in a reference object. Creatio's workflow definitions, process triggers, and BPM configurations do not migrate — FlitStack exports the workflow definitions as a rebuild brief for your HubSpot admin. Activity history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrates to HubSpot's timeline associations with original timestamps. Owner resolution happens via email match against HubSpot users. We run a sample migration with field-level diff before the full run, then capture any in-flight changes during a 24–48 hour delta window at cutover.
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 Creatio 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.
Creatio
Account
HubSpot
Company
1:1Creatio Account maps directly to HubSpot Company. HubSpot Company is the primary contact container and company record hub; contacts without a primary company can be associated to a placeholder organization or left unassociated pending your HubSpot admin's contact-company linking rules and data governance policies.
Creatio
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Direct 1:1 field mapping between Creatio Contact and HubSpot Contact. HubSpot Contact stores firstname, lastname, email, phone as native properties. Creatio contact custom fields migrate as HubSpot custom properties; numeric and date field types map directly, text fields map as strings without transformation.
Creatio
Opportunity
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Creatio Opportunity maps to HubSpot Deal. Both objects use amount, stage, and close date as core fields. HubSpot Deal's dealstage pick-list values are defined per pipeline in HubSpot settings, requiring value-by-value mapping from Creatio stage names to HubSpot pipeline stage identifiers.
Creatio
Lead
HubSpot
Contact (lifecycle stage routing)
1:manyCreatio Lead entity splits into HubSpot Contact records. Since HubSpot has a unified Contact object with no separate Lead object, Leads migrate as Contacts with lifecycle_stage set based on Creatio Lead status: New → subscriber, In Progress → lead, Qualified → SQL, and Converted → Customer.
Creatio
Case
HubSpot
Ticket
1:1Creatio Case entity maps to HubSpot Ticket object. HubSpot Ticket has subject, content, status, priority, and pipeline fields available natively. Creatio case resolution timestamps map to HubSpot ticket closedate if present; otherwise a custom datetime property stores the resolution time for reporting purposes.
Creatio
Product
HubSpot
Product
1:1Creatio Product catalog items map to HubSpot Products with direct field correspondence. Unit price, cost, and description fields map directly without transformation logic. HubSpot Products are standalone objects that can be associated to multiple Deals via Line Items for revenue attribution.
Creatio
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Task)
HubSpot
Engagement (calls, emails, meetings)
1:1Creatio activity records map to HubSpot engagement objects. HubSpot stores engagements as timeline entries on Contact and Company records with type designation (call, email, meeting), subject line, body content, and timestamp preserved. Original activity owner resolves via email match to HubSpot user.
Creatio
Note
HubSpot
Note (on record)
1:1Creatio Notes migrate to HubSpot Notes attached to the relevant Contact, Company, or Deal record. Rich-text formatting in Creatio notes is preserved in HubSpot's note body field. Notes without a parent record attach to the primary contact by default in HubSpot.
Creatio
Custom Entity (Creatio)
HubSpot
Custom Object (HubSpot Enterprise only)
1:1Creatio custom entities map to HubSpot custom objects if your HubSpot plan is Enterprise tier. If your plan is not Enterprise, the custom entity's primary field and key properties migrate as a custom property group on Contact or Deal, losing the entity-level structure but preserving the underlying data values.
Creatio
Attachment / File
HubSpot
Files
1:1Creatio file attachments stored in database or external storage like S3 or Azure Blob are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files. Files are associated to the parent record (Contact, Company, Deal) in HubSpot. Inline images embedded in Creatio notes download and rehost as HubSpot file attachments linked to the parent record.
Creatio
Process / Workflow Definition
HubSpot
No equivalent (export for rebuild)
1:1Creatio BPMN workflow definitions do not migrate to HubSpot. We export the workflow schema including trigger conditions, step logic, and field updates as a JSON brief and a walkthrough document for your HubSpot admin to rebuild in HubSpot Workflows or a partner RevOps tool.
Creatio
Lookup Relationship
HubSpot
Association / Association Label
1:1Creatio entity lookups such as a custom entity referencing an Account map to HubSpot associations with defined relationship labels. HubSpot association labels define the relationship type including designations like Authorized Buyer, Technical Contact, or Decision Maker. We create the associations and assign HubSpot's standard labels where applicable for consistent reporting.

Migration approach
Audit Creatio data model and export schema
FlitStack AI connects to your Creatio instance via API and exports the full entity schema: all standard entities (Account, Contact, Opportunity, Case), custom entity definitions, field types, lookup relationships, and workflow definitions. We generate a data model diagram showing entity cardinality and identify which Creatio fields map directly to HubSpot properties versus which require custom property creation or value mapping. The audit report is the foundation for the migration plan and HubSpot schema setup instructions.
Map Creatio entities to HubSpot objects and prepare HubSpot schema
Based on the audit, we build a detailed object mapping and field mapping document. For each Creatio entity, we identify the HubSpot destination object (Company, Contact, Deal, Ticket, or custom object). If HubSpot Enterprise is not available for custom objects, we propose a property-group restructuring. HubSpot admins create the required custom properties, deal pipelines, and ticket pipelines before data migration begins. We deliver the exact HubSpot field names, types, and pick-list values to create.
Resolve owners and validate data quality
Creatio owner records are matched to HubSpot users by email address. Any Creatio owner without a corresponding HubSpot user is flagged in a pre-migration report — your team creates the HubSpot user or assigns those records to a fallback owner before migration runs. We also run a data quality check: duplicate detection on email addresses, malformed date fields, and required-field gaps. Data issues are reported with row-level guidance for cleanup before the migration begins.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 — migrates first across all object types: contacts, companies, deals, cases, and a sample of custom entity records. We generate a field-level diff report showing every source value, the mapped destination field, and any transformation applied. You verify that Creatio stage values landed in the correct HubSpot lifecycle_stage buckets, deal pipeline mappings are accurate, and owner resolution is complete. No full migration commits until the sample diff is approved.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover
The full record set migrates in sequenced batches: Companies first (since contacts and deals depend on them), then contacts routed by lifecycle stage, then deals with their pipeline and stage mapping, then cases, then activities and notes. During the cutover window — typically 24–48 hours — a delta-pickup captures any records created or modified in Creatio after the migration started. Audit logs document every record operation, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation uncovers unexpected data divergence.
