Overview

What this migration involves

Delivra is an email marketing automation platform built around contacts, custom tables, campaign automations, and a Salesforce integration. Its data model centers on contacts with flexible properties, relational custom tables, tags, engagement scores, and SMTP/SFTP contact import pipelines. HubSpot's CRM object model centers on contacts, companies, and deals with HubSpot-specific properties like lifecycle_stage, deal pipelines, and marketing-contact flags. FlitStack AI migrates Delivra contacts and their standard properties directly into HubSpot contacts, company records into HubSpot companies, and Delivra custom tables into HubSpot custom objects. We preserve original create dates, email timestamps, engagement scores, and subscription statuses as HubSpot contact properties. Delivra automations — triggers, conditions, and branching logic — are not portable to HubSpot workflows; we export the automation definitions as a structured reference document your HubSpot admin uses to rebuild them in HubSpot's workflow builder. Delivra's Salesforce sync and third-party integrations do not migrate and must be reconnected in HubSpot. Migration runs via API extraction from Delivra with field-level mapping validated in a sample run before the full load.

What's pushing teams away

  • Email client compatibility issues with Google Mail, Microsoft Outlook, and Outlook Portal cause rendering problems that require additional testing and workarounds across campaigns.
  • Automation complexity becomes a barrier as teams scale—users report that building and maintaining sophisticated workflows requires significant time investment and technical understanding.
  • Integration ecosystem limitations make it difficult to connect Delivra with the full stack of tools teams use, particularly for custom or niche CRM integrations beyond standard connectors.
  • Some users find the platform challenging to navigate initially, with a learning curve that slows adoption for new team members joining mid-campaign.
  • Pricing at scale becomes a consideration—costs increase significantly with larger contact lists, prompting teams to evaluate alternatives when they outgrow mid-tier plans.

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry of any major CRM — the free tier with unlimited contacts lets teams validate fit before committing to a paid plan, according to G2 and Capterra reviewers.
  • Native integration between the CRM and sales engagement tools (sequences, email tracking, dialer) means no separate sync configuration, a theme across G2 Sales Hub reviews.
  • Pipeline visualization, deal tracking, and automated workflows are consistently praised as intuitive and easy to set up without developer involvement.
  • Strong onboarding for new team members — reviewers on Capterra and G2 highlight how quickly new reps become productive without formal training.
  • The HubSpot platform ecosystem (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS hubs) allows growing companies to consolidate tools without building new integrations.

Object mapping

How Delivra objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a Delivra 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.

Delivra

Contact

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra contacts map directly to HubSpot contacts. FlitStack matches Delivra email addresses to existing HubSpot contacts or creates new records. Owner resolution happens by email lookup against HubSpot users — unmatched owners are flagged before migration so your team can invite them to HubSpot first.

Delivra

Contact (email, phone, address properties)

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Standard contact fields — email, first name, last name, phone, mobile, job title, address — map one-to-one to HubSpot's built-in contact properties. Date fields (subscription date, unsubscribe date) map to HubSpot's equivalent timestamp properties preserving original values. Any custom date properties in Delivra are also mapped to HubSpot's datetime properties, maintaining the exact original timestamps for audit and reporting purposes.

Delivra

Engagement Score

maps to

HubSpot

Contact (custom property)

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra's engagement scoring has no native HubSpot equivalent. We migrate the score as a custom HubSpot number property (e.g., Delivra_Score__c). Your team decides whether to use this as-is or integrate it into HubSpot's lead scoring model after migration. The custom property can be used for segmentation, reporting, and workflow triggers in HubSpot. If your team wants to adopt HubSpot's native lead scoring, the Delivra score can serve as a baseline comparison during the transition period.

Delivra

Tag / Segment Tag

maps to

HubSpot

Contact (custom property or list)

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra tags become HubSpot contact properties (single-line text or multi-checkbox depending on tag volume). High-volume tag sets may be converted to HubSpot lists for segmentation. We preserve the full tag history and document the mapping plan before migration. Each tag is mapped to a corresponding HubSpot property or list, ensuring no tag data is lost. The mapping plan includes recommendations for tag-to-list conversion based on tag volume and usage frequency in Delivra.

Delivra

Subscription Status

maps to

HubSpot

Contact (hs_email_optout / subscription property)

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra opt-in/opt-out status maps directly to HubSpot's email subscription status properties. GDPR compliance fields (e.g., consent timestamp) migrate as HubSpot contact properties for audit continuity. This includes consent_given date, consent source, and any custom GDPR fields from Delivra. HubSpot's subscription state then governs which contacts receive marketing emails based on your HubSpot email subscription settings. We also map any suppression list entries from Delivra to HubSpot's unsubscribe list to ensure compliance.

Delivra

Custom Table

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra custom tables (1:many and many:many relational structures) map to HubSpot custom objects. HubSpot requires custom objects to be created and their properties defined before migration. We deliver a schema plan specifying every custom object, property type, and association label so your HubSpot admin sets up the schema first.

Delivra

Campaign / Campaign Member

maps to

HubSpot

Static List / Campaign Member

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra campaign membership migrates as HubSpot lists and campaign membership records. Each Delivra campaign becomes a HubSpot campaign with members linked to the corresponding contacts. Campaign send history and open/click data are preserved as HubSpot campaign analytics. We also map campaign tags and categories from Delivra to HubSpot campaign properties, ensuring campaign segmentation logic is maintained. The migration includes all historical campaign performance data so your team can analyze past campaign effectiveness in HubSpot.

Delivra

SFTP / API Import History

maps to

HubSpot

Contact (audit property)

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra's SFTP import log (which source imported which contacts) has no HubSpot equivalent. We capture import-source attribution as a HubSpot contact property (e.g., Import_Source__c) so teams retain data lineage visibility in HubSpot after migration. This property stores the original import pipeline name, import date, and any SFTP file references. We also map import frequency data (e.g., daily, weekly imports) to HubSpot contact properties for tracking data refresh patterns. This ensures your team can trace each contact's origin and data quality history in HubSpot.

Delivra

Automation (workflows, triggers, conditions)

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Workflow (rebuild reference)

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra automations — triggers, conditions, time delays, action steps — are not portable to HubSpot. FlitStack exports a structured JSON document describing every automation (trigger type, conditions, branch logic, actions) that your HubSpot admin uses as a reference spec when rebuilding in HubSpot's workflow builder.

Delivra

Salesforce Integration

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Integration

1:1
Fully supported

Delivra's native Salesforce sync configuration does not transfer to HubSpot. Any bidirectional sync between Delivra and Salesforce must be rebuilt as a HubSpot integration (native sync, Zapier, or custom API). We document the current sync scope so your team can plan the HubSpot replacement.

Pair-specific challenges

  • HubSpot per-contact billing makes deduplication before import critical

    HubSpot prices by contact count across all paid CRM tiers, unlike Delivra's flat-rate Starter model. A Delivra database with 50,000 contacts can carry significant deduplication headroom — HubSpot community members report 30–40% reduction in imported records after deduplication. FlitStack runs duplicate analysis on the Delivra export before mapping, identifying duplicate email addresses and merged contact records. Cleaning before import avoids an immediate HubSpot billing increase at go-live. We also flag contacts with duplicate email addresses that may have been merged in Delivra, ensuring only the most complete record is imported into HubSpot to prevent duplicate contact creation.

  • Delivra automations are not portable — rebuild is mandatory

    Delivra's automation engine — triggers, conditions, time-delay actions, and branching logic — is Delivra-specific and has no export format compatible with HubSpot. Migrating contacts without a rebuild plan means HubSpot launches with no active workflows. FlitStack exports every Delivra automation definition as a structured JSON document your HubSpot admin uses as a rebuild spec. The actual rebuild happens in HubSpot's workflow builder and is scoped separately from data migration. The JSON export includes each automation's trigger type, condition criteria, time-delay intervals, action steps, and branch paths, providing a complete reference for your HubSpot admin to reconstruct the automation logic step-by-step.

  • Custom tables require HubSpot custom objects to be defined before data lands

    Delivra custom tables support relational structures (1:1, 1:many, many:many) with arbitrary column schemas. HubSpot custom objects must be created and their properties defined before any records load. We deliver a custom-object schema plan — naming every object, property, type, and association label — so your HubSpot admin creates the schema before validation runs. Loading data into non-existent HubSpot custom objects causes mapping failures and record rejection. The schema plan also specifies which HubSpot custom object properties are required versus optional, and which properties need validation rules (e.g., date formats, numeric ranges) to ensure data integrity after migration.

  • HubSpot has no native engagement scoring — Delivra scores need a custom property strategy

    HubSpot's contact model has no built-in engagement score field comparable to Delivra's scoring engine. Migrating the score as a HubSpot custom number property preserves the historical value but does not update automatically. Your team must decide whether to adopt HubSpot's own lead scoring model, keep the Delivra score as a static reference, or build a custom calculation in HubSpot's property formulas. We document the mapping and flag this as a post-migration configuration decision.

  • HubSpot's API rate limits affect delta-pickup speed during cutover

    HubSpot's Bulk API and REST API have per-key rate limits that govern how quickly records can be created or updated during the delta-pickup window. High-volume migrations (over 100,000 records) may experience slower delta processing than the nominal 24–48 hour window. FlitStack schedules delta pickup in batches aligned with HubSpot's rate limit tiers and communicates realistic completion estimates before the cutover window opens. We also monitor API usage during the migration to avoid hitting rate limits that could cause temporary API blocks. If rate limits are approached, FlitStack automatically throttles the import speed to ensure continuous processing without exceeding HubSpot's API quotas.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Delivra to HubSpot data migration

  1. Audit Delivra data model and export automation definitions

    FlitStack reads your Delivra account via API to inventory every contact property, custom table schema, campaign, and automation. We extract automation definitions as a structured JSON reference document. A data audit report identifies duplicates, empty fields, and inconsistent values that need cleaning before mapping. This step produces the field map and a custom-object schema plan for HubSpot. The API extraction also captures Delivra's engagement scoring history, tag metadata, and campaign send records to ensure complete data migration.

  2. Set up HubSpot custom objects, properties, and pipelines

    Before any data moves, your HubSpot admin creates the custom objects and properties flagged in the schema plan. FlitStack delivers exact specifications — property name, HubSpot type, and association label — so the HubSpot side is fully configured before validation. Any deal pipelines needed in HubSpot are also defined in this window. We recommend creating a test HubSpot portal to validate the schema setup before applying it to production, ensuring all custom objects and properties are correctly configured and accessible for migration.

  3. Deduplicate contacts and clean field values

    Using the Delivra export, FlitStack runs duplicate analysis on contact records. Email-address matches are flagged for your team's deduplication rules (keep newest, keep oldest, merge). Field values are normalized (phone formats, state abbreviations, blank values) so imported HubSpot records are consistent and reporting-ready. We also standardize company names, remove duplicate tag entries, and validate email address formats to prevent invalid data from entering HubSpot. The deduplication process includes identifying contacts with multiple email addresses that may have been merged in Delivra, ensuring only the most complete record is imported.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first — covering contacts, companies, custom table rows, and campaign members. We generate a field-level diff showing source value versus mapped destination value for every property. You verify lifecycle mapping, custom table column mapping, and tag migration before the full run commits. The sample migration also validates that HubSpot's custom object associations are correctly linking related records, and confirms that engagement scores and subscription statuses are properly mapped to HubSpot properties. Any discrepancies found during sample migration can be corrected before the full dataset is processed.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    Full data migration runs in HubSpot's Bulk API. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any Delivra records modified during cutover. FlitStack's audit log records every create and update operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. During the full migration, we monitor HubSpot's API response times and error rates to ensure data integrity. If any records fail to import, FlitStack automatically retries them with exponential backoff. After the delta-pickup window closes, we run a final reconciliation report comparing Delivra record counts with HubSpot record counts to confirm all data has been successfully migrated.

Strengths

  • Generous pricing with Starter tier at $29/month for 500 contacts and no per-seat user limits across all plans.
  • Excellent customer support reputation with 4.8/5 Capterra rating and high-touch guided onboarding.
  • Built-in SMS marketing alongside email in a single platform, avoiding the need for separate SMS tool integration.
  • Custom Tables with relational data support enable sophisticated data modeling for complex contact relationships.
  • Drag-and-drop editors and visual workflow builders reduce technical barriers for non-developer users.

Weaknesses

  • Email client compatibility issues require additional testing for Gmail, Outlook, and Outlook Portal rendering.
  • Automation builder complexity increases significantly for sophisticated multi-branch workflows.
  • Integration ecosystem is limited compared to broader CRM platforms, restricting connectivity with niche tools.
  • Contact-based pricing model means costs scale directly with list size, which can become expensive at high volumes.
  • API documentation is not publicly available on the knowledge base, requiring direct contact with support to obtain technical specifications.

Strengths

  • Genuinely useful free CRM tier with no seat limit on contact records.
  • All-in-one sales engagement layer (sequences, email tracking, calling, dialer) embedded natively in the CRM, eliminating a separate integration.
  • Intuitive interface and fast onboarding for individual reps, per G2 and Capterra reviews.
  • Workflow automation triggers across contacts, deals, and tickets with a visual builder.
  • API coverage for all standard objects including custom objects at Enterprise tier.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is contact-based at the marketing layer — importing all records as marketing contacts can multiply the monthly bill by 4×.
  • Feature tier cliffs are frequent surprises: sequences, calling, advanced reporting, and quoting are all gated, often requiring plan upgrades mid-implementation.
  • Mandatory onboarding fees at Professional ($1,500) and Enterprise ($3,500) are not prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
  • API rate limits are restrictive for bulk migration — burst limits of 100-200 req/10sec and search endpoint limits of 4 req/sec require careful job queuing.
  • Custom objects, additional pipelines, and advanced forecasting are Enterprise-only, making cost projections difficult for growing teams.
