Overview
Entrata and HubSpot serve fundamentally different operational models — Entrata manages the full lifecycle of residential and commercial properties (units, leases, residents, maintenance, vendors), while HubSpot organizes data around contacts, companies, deals, and service tickets. This migration translates Entrata's property-centric schema into HubSpot's contact-and-company model. FlitStack AI extracts Entrata data via their API (which requires a signed partnership agreement) and maps core entities: residents become HubSpot contacts, properties and communities become HubSpot companies, active leases map to deals or line items, and open maintenance requests become HubSpot service tickets. Custom fields for unit numbers, lease terms, security deposit amounts, and property addresses require HubSpot custom properties to be created before migration. What does not migrate: Entrata's accounting ledger entries (rent rolls, payments, charges) live outside HubSpot's data model and are preserved as CSV exports for reference. Vendor records can map to HubSpot companies with a vendor-type label. The migration uses a scoped-read API connection so your Entrata team continues working during the cutover, with a delta-pickup window capturing any records modified between the snapshot and go-live.
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 Entrata 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.
Entrata
Resident (current tenant)
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Entrata residents map directly to HubSpot contacts — first name, last name, email, phone, and address fields translate 1:1. Resident status (current vs. former) is preserved via a Lifecycle_Stage__c custom field and the lease-end date stored on the associated deal record.
Entrata
Lease
HubSpot
Deal + Line Item
many:1Entrata leases carry rent amount, security deposit, lease term dates, and unit assignment. These split across a HubSpot deal (for the unit and term) and a line item (for monthly rent and deposit amounts). The deal associates to the contact and the company (property) record for full relationship visibility.
Entrata
Property / Community
HubSpot
Company
1:1Each Entrata property or community becomes a HubSpot company record. Property name maps to company name; address, city, state, and zip map to standard address fields. We create HubSpot company properties for building-specific data (year built, total units, property type) that do not map to native HubSpot company fields.
Entrata
Unit
HubSpot
Custom Object: Unit
1:1HubSpot has no native unit object. We create a HubSpot custom object (available on Enterprise plans) named 'Unit' with properties for unit number, floor plan, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, and monthly rent. Each unit record links to the parent property (Company) via a lookup relationship.
Entrata
Prospect / Lead
HubSpot
Contact (Lead lifecycle)
1:1Entrata leasing prospects map to HubSpot contacts with lifecycle stage set to 'lead' or 'marketing qualified lead' based on Entrata's prospect status field. Move-in date and desired unit type migrate as custom properties so sales teams can prioritize follow-up based on intended lease start.
Entrata
Maintenance Request / Work Order
HubSpot
Ticket
1:1Entrata work orders map to HubSpot service tickets. The ticket subject carries the unit number and issue type; description captures the work order details. Priority maps to ticket priority (low/medium/high/urgent). Open work orders import as open tickets; completed ones import as closed tickets with resolution notes.
Entrata
Vendor
HubSpot
Company (labeled)
1:1Entrata vendors become HubSpot company records with a Vendor_Type__c custom pick-list (HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Landscaping, etc.) and insurance expiration date stored as a custom property. The vendor's contact person maps as a secondary contact on the company record if present in Entrata.
Entrata
Payment / Rent Transaction
HubSpot
CSV Export (no HubSpot equivalent)
1:1HubSpot does not store financial transactions. Rent payments, charges, and ledger entries from Entrata are exported to a structured CSV with resident name, unit, date, amount, and payment method. The file is delivered for import into your accounting system or for reference in financial reconciliation.
Entrata
Entrata User / Staff
HubSpot
User (matched by email)
1:1Entrata staff members with email addresses are matched to HubSpot users by email. Unmatched staff (e.g., former employees no longer active in Entrata) are flagged — their records are assigned to a fallback HubSpot owner so data lands without orphaned owner references.
Entrata
Pet Record
HubSpot
Custom Property on Contact
1:1Pet information attached to a resident in Entrata (pet type, breed, weight, vaccination records) migrates to a Pet_Information__c custom property on the HubSpot contact. If multiple pets exist, they are stored as a comma-separated text block or as multiple custom property instances based on your preference.
Entrata
Entrata Note / Document
HubSpot
Engagement Note / File Attachment
1:1Notes attached to residents, leases, or units in Entrata become HubSpot engagement notes on the corresponding contact or company record. Documents (lease agreements, addenda) upload to HubSpot Files and attach to the deal or contact record so they remain accessible at the point of use.
Entrata
Owner / Property Manager (company-level)
HubSpot
Company Owner field or secondary Contact
1:1Entrata stores an owner or property manager association at the property level. This maps to a Owner_Name__c custom property on the HubSpot company record. If the owner is an individual, they also become a HubSpot contact with a property-manager role label for clear association.

Migration approach
Confirm Entrata API access and map your property hierarchy
FlitStack validates your Entrata API access (partnership agreement required) and documents your property portfolio structure — total properties, units per property, active residents, open leases, pending maintenance requests, and vendor records. We produce a migration scope document listing the exact record counts per object and any custom fields in use. This scope document becomes the baseline for timeline and pricing confirmation.
Create HubSpot custom objects, properties, and company hierarchy
Before data moves, your HubSpot admin or our team configures the destination schema. This includes creating the custom object 'Unit' (HubSpot Enterprise plans only), defining all required custom properties on contacts and companies, and establishing the property and region hierarchy within HubSpot. We deliver a comprehensive HubSpot setup checklist derived from your Entrata data audit, listing every property to create, field to add, and association to build so the destination environment is fully prepared before the first validation run executes.
Resolve owners and flag unmapped staff
Entrata staff members are matched to HubSpot users by email address using a deterministic lookup. Any staff records without a corresponding HubSpot login are flagged as unmapped and assigned to a designated fallback owner during migration. Your team reviews this unmapped staff list and decides whether to provision new HubSpot user accounts before migration or accept the fallback owner assignment. This owner-resolution step ensures that no migrated record lands in HubSpot without an assigned owner reference, maintaining data integrity and accountability across all migrated entities.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative data slice — typically 100 to 300 records covering residents, leases, properties, units, maintenance requests, and vendors — migrates first as a validation run. We generate a detailed field-level diff report comparing source values from Entrata to destination field assignments in HubSpot, allowing you to verify that unit-to-deal mapping is correct, lifecycle stage routing matches expectations, vendor-type custom properties are populated accurately, and ticket priority values align with Entrata priority levels. This sample validation phase catches mapping errors before the full migration run commits any records.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against your HubSpot account. A delta-pickup window of 24 to 48 hours captures any records created or modified in Entrata during the cutover period, ensuring HubSpot reflects Entrata's final state at go-live. Accounting ledger exports as CSV files are delivered alongside the migration for import into your accounting system. The audit log captures every operation performed, and one-click rollback remains available if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues requiring reversal.
