Overview
crmconnect uses a flat-rate pricing model at $97/month with unlimited users, positioning itself for SMBs and agencies needing contact management, pipeline tracking, and workflow automation in a single tool. HubSpot uses a per-seat tiered model starting at Starter, adding marketing, sales, and service hubs as you scale — and billing for marketing contacts separately from CRM contacts. When migrating to HubSpot, crmconnect contacts, companies, and deals map to HubSpot's equivalent objects: contacts gain a lifecycle_stage property (subscriber, lead, MQL, SQL, customer, evangelist) that tracks progression, and deals live inside HubSpot deal pipelines with stage-by-stage mapping. crmconnect's pipeline stages map to HubSpot deal stages with probability values applied per stage. crmconnect automations and workflows must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder — we export your crmconnect workflow definitions as a rebuild reference. FlitStack AI extracts crmconnect data via API access, performs field-level mapping including custom properties, runs a sample migration with diff validation, then executes the full migration with delta-pickup capturing any records modified during cutover. Historical activity logs (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrate to HubSpot's contact and deal timelines with original timestamps and owners preserved.
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 crmConnect 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.
crmConnect
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1crmconnect contacts map 1:1 to HubSpot contacts. The contact's primary email, phone, name, and address fields map directly to HubSpot contact properties. Secondary phone numbers and custom contact properties migrate as HubSpot custom properties with the original crmconnect field names preserved in the property label for traceability.
crmConnect
Contact Status
HubSpot
lifecycle_stage (custom property)
1:1crmconnect contact status values (e.g., New, Active, Inactive) map to HubSpot lifecycle_stage values. We map each crmconnect status to the nearest HubSpot lifecycle stage — Active contacts typically map to 'customer', Inactive to the last stage before churn, and New to 'subscriber' or 'lead' based on your specified rules. Status-change timestamps migrate as a custom datetime field (Lifecycle_Stage_Updated__c equivalent in HubSpot) for reporting continuity.
crmConnect
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1crmconnect companies map to HubSpot companies. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue map to the corresponding HubSpot company properties. Address, phone, and social link fields also migrate directly. HubSpot's parent-company hierarchy is supported if crmconnect stores parent-child relationships — these map to HubSpot's company associations. Custom company properties migrate as HubSpot custom properties with original field labels preserved.
crmConnect
Deal / Opportunity
HubSpot
Deal
1:1crmconnect deals map to HubSpot deals. Each deal carries its name, amount, close date, owner, and associated contact/company links. crmconnect deal pipelines map to HubSpot deal pipelines — each pipeline in crmconnect becomes a separate HubSpot deal pipeline, and deal stages within each pipeline map to HubSpot deal stages with probability percentages applied per stage.
crmConnect
Pipeline
HubSpot
Deal Pipeline
1:1crmconnect pipelines become HubSpot deal pipelines. Each pipeline name in crmconnect creates a new HubSpot pipeline. Pipeline stage names map value-by-value to HubSpot deal stage names, with probabilities, forecast categories, and stage-order preserved. If crmconnect uses a single default pipeline, that migrates as one HubSpot pipeline; multiple crmconnect pipelines each get their own HubSpot pipeline to keep stage logic separate.
crmConnect
Pipeline Stage
HubSpot
Deal Stage
1:1Stage names are mapped value-by-value from crmconnect to HubSpot deal stages. We capture each stage's probability percentage from crmconnect and apply it to the corresponding HubSpot stage. Closed-won and closed-lost statuses transfer with original close dates preserved so win-rate reporting starts accurately in HubSpot from the migration date.
crmConnect
Activity (calls, emails, meetings, notes)
HubSpot
Engagements (Timeline)
1:1crmconnect engagement history maps to HubSpot's timeline on contacts and deals. Call logs become HubSpot call engagements with duration and outcome. Emails become email engagements with subject and body. Meetings become meeting engagements with original start/end times and attendee lists. Notes become HubSpot notes with timestamps and owner attribution. Original engagement timestamps are preserved so the HubSpot timeline shows the full history.
crmConnect
Task
HubSpot
Task
1:1crmconnect tasks map to HubSpot tasks. Task subject, due date, status, priority, and owner migrate. Open tasks land as open tasks in HubSpot; completed tasks migrate with their completion status and timestamps. Task associations to contacts and deals are preserved so task-to-record links are intact after migration.
crmConnect
Custom Field (Contact-level)
HubSpot
Custom Property (Contact)
1:1crmconnect custom fields on contacts (beyond the standard fields) migrate as HubSpot custom contact properties. Property names are mapped from crmconnect field labels to HubSpot property format (alphanumeric, no spaces). Data types are preserved: text fields to text, number fields to number, date fields to date, pick-list fields to HubSpot dropdowns with value-by-value mapping.
crmConnect
Custom Field (Deal-level)
HubSpot
Custom Property (Deal)
1:1crmconnect deal-level custom fields map to HubSpot deal custom properties following the same type-preservation logic as contact properties. Pick-list values in crmconnect become HubSpot deal property options. If crmconnect stores deal-weighted values or custom probability fields, those become custom number or currency properties on HubSpot deals.
crmConnect
User / Owner
HubSpot
User
1:1crmconnect users and deal owners are resolved by email match against HubSpot users. We flag any crmconnect owner whose email does not match a HubSpot user before migration — your team either creates the HubSpot user or reassigns those records to a specified fallback owner. No record lands in HubSpot without an owner resolved.
crmConnect
Attachment / File
HubSpot
Files
1:1crmconnect file attachments on contacts, companies, or deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files. Files attach to the corresponding HubSpot record by association. HubSpot's file size limits apply (default 25MB per file). If crmconnect stores inline images in notes, those are extracted and rehosted as HubSpot-hosted images.

Migration approach
Audit crmconnect data and map to HubSpot schema
We extract crmconnect data via API access, cataloging all contact fields (standard and custom), company fields, deal fields, pipeline structures, and activity records. We compare the crmconnect data model against HubSpot's schema, identifying direct field matches, custom fields requiring HubSpot property creation, and any data-type conversions needed (e.g., crmconnect pick-list values to HubSpot dropdowns). We deliver a data mapping document before any records move, so you can verify the plan before commit.
Resolve owners and provision HubSpot users
We match crmconnect owners against HubSpot users by email address. Any unmatched owners are listed with their crmconnect owner name and email field so your team can create the corresponding HubSpot user or decide on a fallback assignment. No record migrates without an owner — this prevents orphaned records in HubSpot. We recommend provisioning all needed HubSpot users before the migration window opens.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
We migrate a representative sample of 100–500 records covering contacts, companies, deals, and a selection of activity history. The sample run generates a field-level diff between the crmconnect source values and the HubSpot destination values. You review the diff to confirm that contact status mapping to lifecycle_stage is correct, pipeline-to-pipeline mapping is accurate, owner resolution worked, and activity timestamps are preserved. Sample migration approval gates the full run.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup
The full migration loads all crmconnect records into HubSpot in dependency order: companies first, then contacts with company associations, then deals with contact and company links, then activities. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial load captures any records modified in crmconnect during the cutover period. The audit log records every operation. If reconciliation identifies missing or incorrect records, one-click rollback reverts the full migration so you can correct the mapping and re-run.
Deliver workflow reference export for HubSpot rebuild
We export your crmconnect workflow definitions in a structured format that maps each automation's trigger events, conditions, filter logic, and action sequences to HubSpot's workflow builder equivalents. This reference document is your admin's blueprint for rebuilding automations in HubSpot. It is not an automated migration — rebuilding is a manual step that typically takes 1–3 days depending on automation complexity, and we recommend completing it before decommissioning crmconnect.
