Overview

What this migration involves

Encharge organizes B2B SaaS customer data around People, Companies, Accounts, custom objects, and Events with a behavioral automation layer built for email-centric journeys. HubSpot uses a parallel Contact-Company-Deal model with lifecycle stage as the unifying customer-state property, plus HubSpot-native Flows, Lists, and custom objects for deeper segmentation. The migration carries all Encharge records — People, Companies, Accounts, custom objects, and event history — into HubSpot Contacts, Companies, Deals, and custom properties via HubSpot's Contacts API and bulk import. Automation logic (Flows, Segments, Tags) does not transfer automatically and must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow editor using exported Flow definitions as reference. We sequence the migration: People → Contacts, Accounts → Companies, custom objects → HubSpot custom objects, then Events → HubSpot Activities, with a delta-pickup window capturing any in-flight changes during cutover. Owner resolution matches Encharge user emails to HubSpot users by email before records land. A comprehensive data-validation step then verifies all associations and property mappings before the final import run.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Encharge logo

Encharge

What's pushing teams away

  • Documentation is thin for advanced troubleshooting, leaving teams stuck when Flows behave unexpectedly or API edge cases arise during integrations.
  • The API lacks publicly documented rate limits, making it difficult to plan high-volume imports or configure safe migration throughput without trial-and-error.
  • Steep learning curve for complex multi-branch Flows, with some teams switching back to simpler tools after hitting the complexity ceiling.
  • Being a newer entrant means fewer community resources, Stack Overflow threads, and third-party tutorials compared to established competitors.

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 Encharge objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a Encharge 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.

Encharge

Person

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Encharge Person maps directly to HubSpot Contact. Standard properties (email, firstname, lastname, phone, jobtitle) transfer as HubSpot contact properties. HubSpot requires each Contact to have a primary Company — Encharge Persons without a linked Company receive a placeholder 'Unassigned' Company record.

Encharge

Account

maps to

HubSpot

Company

1:1
Fully supported

Encharge Account (B2B account model) maps to HubSpot Company. Account name becomes Company name, domain maps to Website, industry maps to Industry pick-list value-by-value, and number of employees maps to NumberOfEmployees. Parent-child Account hierarchies in Encharge map to HubSpot's Parent Company field.

Encharge

Person-Account association

maps to

HubSpot

Contact-Company association

1:1
Fully supported

Encharge's Person-to-Account link becomes HubSpot's Contact-to-Company primary association. HubSpot supports a single primary Company per Contact plus additional associated Companies via the Associations API. We preserve the primary association and surface secondary associations for manual cleanup. This ensures all existing relationships are maintained and can be refined after the migration is complete.

Encharge

Segment

maps to

HubSpot

Static List / HubSpot List

1:1
Fully supported

Encharge Segments (membership-based, not behavioral-rule lists) map to HubSpot Static Lists. Dynamic Segments based on behavioral rules do not transfer — the underlying People records move, and your HubSpot admin recreates the dynamic logic as HubSpot Lists using the same filter conditions.

Encharge

Tag

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Property (multi-checkbox or text)

1:1
Fully supported

Encharge Tags are flat string labels on People. We map them to a HubSpot multi-checkbox custom property (Tags__c) so each Encharge tag becomes an option. If Tags exceed HubSpot's pick-list limit, we collapse them into a long-text custom property and preserve the full list as a reference export.

Encharge

Custom object: Deal

maps to

HubSpot

Deal (HubSpot native) or Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Encharge Deal custom objects (Growth and higher) map to HubSpot native Deals when the destination is Sales Hub. If you use Deals alongside Accounts in Encharge, we map them to HubSpot Deals linked to the corresponding HubSpot Company. Deal fields (amount, stage, close date) map to HubSpot Deal properties with value mapping for stage names.

Encharge

Custom object: Order / Invoice

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

Encharge Order and Invoice custom objects map to HubSpot custom objects. These require HubSpot Enterprise — we create the custom object schema in HubSpot, define the properties, and then import the records. Order-to-Contact and Invoice-to-Company links preserve as custom-object association properties.

Encharge

Event

maps to

HubSpot

Engagement (Call / Email / Meeting) or Timeline extension

1:1
Fully supported

Encharge behavioral Events (page views, feature actions, Stripe events) have no native HubSpot equivalent. We map email-related events to HubSpot Engagements (email logged as a Call or generic engagement), and preserve the full event payload as a JSON blob in a custom Timeline Events custom object so the behavioral history is queryable.

Encharge

Flow

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot Workflow

1:1
Fully supported

Encharge Flows do not migrate. They must be rebuilt in HubSpot's Workflows tool. We export the Flow definition (trigger, conditions, actions, step order) as a structured reference document your HubSpot admin uses to recreate each Flow. We do not automate the recreation because Flow semantics differ between platforms.

Encharge

User / Owner

maps to

HubSpot

User

1:1
Fully supported

Encharge Users are resolved by email match against HubSpot Users. Encharge Person records carry an owner ID — we match that owner's email to the corresponding HubSpot user email and set the OwnerId on the resulting Contact. Unmatched owners are flagged for your team to either invite them to HubSpot or reassign records before the migration runs.

Encharge

Created date / Updated date

maps to

HubSpot

Original_Create_Date__c / Original_Update_Date__c (custom)

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot's Createdate and LastModifiedDate are set by the import process, not the source system. We preserve the original Encharge created and updated timestamps as custom datetime properties (Original_Create_Date__c and Original_Update_Date__c) on every Contact and Company for historical reporting continuity. These properties allow you to query and report on data based on the original Encharge creation date even after the migration completes.

Encharge

Email / Phone / Address

maps to

HubSpot

Contact email / phone / address properties

1:1
Fully supported

Standard communication fields (email address, phone number, mobile phone, street address, city, state, postal code, country) map directly to HubSpot's identically named contact properties. Address fields in Encharge may be split or combined — we normalize to HubSpot's address compound property format during the import.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Encharge Flows must be rebuilt manually in HubSpot Workflows — no automated migration exists

    Encharge Flows use a trigger-condition-action model with Steps, Branch paths, and Email/Tag/Segment actions that do not have an equivalent export format. HubSpot Workflows share the same conceptual model but the implementation, step types, and delay configurations differ. FlitStack AI exports every Flow definition as a structured JSON document (step order, trigger type, conditions, branch logic, and action types) so your HubSpot admin can rebuild them in HubSpot's Workflow editor without reverse-engineering from screenshots. This is a manual step — budget 1–2 days per complex Flow for the rebuild.

  • HubSpot's marketing-contact billing model differs from Encharge's flat contact pricing

    Encharge charges per contact with no separate marketing contact concept — all contacts are treated equally for billing. HubSpot separates CRM contacts from marketing contacts and charges based on the marketing-contact count in Marketing Hub. If you have a large Encharge database where a subset of contacts are email-marketed, those will be counted as HubSpot marketing contacts and affect your Marketing Hub tier. We flag the estimated marketing-contact subset during the audit phase so you can model the billing impact before migration runs.

  • Encharge behavioral Events have no native HubSpot equivalent — behavioral history is preserved as a custom object

    Encharge tracks behavioral events (page views, plan changes, feature triggers, Stripe events) via its JavaScript SDK and API. HubSpot has no built-in behavioral event store — it tracks engagements (calls, emails, meetings) and website visits only for contacts with HubSpot tracking code. We preserve Encharge event history as a HubSpot custom object named 'Timeline Events' with event type, timestamp, and metadata as custom properties. This makes the data queryable in HubSpot reports but it is not surfaced in the native contact timeline.

  • HubSpot Enterprise is required for custom objects — Growth plan accounts cannot import them

    Encharge Growth and higher plans support custom objects (Deals, Orders, Invoices). HubSpot custom objects are only available on Enterprise tier. If your Encharge setup uses custom objects and your target HubSpot subscription is Starter or Professional, those records cannot land as custom objects. We surface this gap during the audit and offer two paths: upgrade to HubSpot Enterprise (required for custom objects) or map custom object records to HubSpot Deals with a type field distinguishing the record category.

  • Encharge's N:N Person-to-Account model collapses to HubSpot's primary-company association

    Encharge allows a Person to be associated with multiple Accounts simultaneously. HubSpot Contacts have one primary Company association plus additional secondary associations. We migrate the most-recently-used Account as the primary Company on the HubSpot Contact and surface all secondary Encharge associations as additional Company associations via the Associations API. Your team reviews the secondary associations after migration to confirm the primary assignment is correct. This preserves the relationship data while ensuring the primary company contact is properly set for reporting and segmentation purposes.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Encharge to HubSpot data migration

  1. Audit Encharge data inventory and map to HubSpot schema

    FlitStack AI extracts a full export of all Encharge People, Accounts, custom objects, segments, tags, and event history via the Encharge REST API. We cross-reference this against HubSpot's required and optional field list for Contacts, Companies, and Deals. The audit phase produces a field-level mapping spreadsheet, flags Encharge Flows for manual rebuild, identifies any contacts exceeding the marketing-contact threshold, and confirms whether HubSpot Enterprise is required for custom objects. You receive this map for review before any data moves.

  2. Resolve Encharge users to HubSpot users by email

    FlitStack AI matches Encharge owner IDs to HubSpot users by email address. Any owner without a corresponding HubSpot user is flagged with their Encharge email so your team can either invite them to HubSpot or pre-assign a fallback owner. This step runs before the migration so no record lands without a valid HubSpot owner. The matching process also identifies any inactive or deleted users that may need to be reactivated in HubSpot before migration begins.

  3. Create HubSpot schema: custom properties, custom objects, lists, and pipelines

    We create all custom properties required by the field mapping — including multi-checkbox tags, datetime fields for original create/update dates, and the Timeline Events custom object — in HubSpot before records land. If you use HubSpot Deal pipelines, we also configure the pipeline and stage values to match your Encharge Deal stages. For custom objects (Orders, Invoices), we build the object schema in HubSpot Enterprise during this step. This ensures HubSpot is schema-ready when the import runs, avoiding import errors from missing required fields.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 records

    A representative slice of Encharge records — spanning People across different segments, Accounts with and without parent companies, Deals in multiple stages, and event history — migrates to HubSpot first. We generate a field-level diff comparing every source field against the destination property, flagging any truncation (text length limits), missing pick-list values, or association failures. You verify the output and approve the full migration scope before we commit to the complete run.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback plan

    The full Encharge export migrates to HubSpot: Accounts → Companies, then People → Contacts with company associations, then Deals → Deals, then Events → Timeline Events custom object. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) runs after the initial load to capture any Encharge records modified or created during the cutover period. FlitStack AI generates an audit log of every record operation. If reconciliation fails, one-click rollback reverts the HubSpot environment to its pre-migration state.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Source

Strengths

  • Visual Flow canvas for building multi-branch automation sequences without code.
  • Generous free tier with 500 contacts and 1,500 emails per month for evaluation.
  • Native Stripe and payment processor integration for subscription behavioral triggers.
  • Custom Objects allow modeling domain-specific entities beyond standard contact records.
  • Strong Segment-based targeting using behavioral and firmographic criteria.

Weaknesses

  • Thin documentation for advanced Flows and API edge cases.
  • API rate limits not publicly documented, complicating migration planning.
  • Newer platform with smaller community compared to ActiveCampaign or Mailchimp.
  • Flows cannot be exported and must be manually rebuilt in the destination system.
  • Some advanced automation features gated to higher paid tiers.

Destination

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.

Most Encharge-to-HubSpot migrations complete in 3–5 days of clock time for under 25,000 People and Accounts with standard properties. Encharge setups with over 100,000 records, multiple custom objects (Deals, Orders, Invoices), or complex Account hierarchies extend to 10–14 days. The longest planning step is the schema setup for custom objects if HubSpot Enterprise is required, and the manual Flow rebuild that your team handles separately.
