Overview
Factoreal is a marketing-automation-first CRM that stores contacts, companies, and campaign engagement data (email opens, SMS sends, WhatsApp messages) in a relatively flat object model. HubSpot splits contacts into lifecycle stages, supports multiple deal pipelines with stage-specific pick-list values, and stores campaign membership on the Contact record. FlitStack AI migrates all standard objects — contacts, companies, deals — with their properties intact. Factoreal campaign associations require mapping to HubSpot's campaign membership or custom contact properties because Factoreal's multi-channel campaign model has no direct HubSpot equivalent. Custom properties migrate as HubSpot properties. Automations, lead scoring logic, and campaign sequences do not transfer and must be rebuilt using HubSpot Workflows and Sequences. We use Factoreal's API for extraction and HubSpot's Bulk API or CRM API for load, running a sample migration first with field-level diff before committing the full dataset. During extraction, FlitStack AI preserves original create dates, engagement timestamps, and owner assignments as custom properties to ensure reporting continuity. The migration pipeline uses Factoreal's REST API for read operations and HubSpot's Bulk API for high‑throughput writes, with an optional CRM API fallback for incremental updates. Before the full dataset commits, a sample of 100–500 records is migrated and compared field‑by‑field against source values, allowing your team to verify lifecycle stage assignment rules, deal pipeline mapping, and campaign association logic.
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 Factoreal 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.
Factoreal
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Direct 1:1 map. HubSpot Contact properties receive Factoreal contact fields verbatim. Owner resolution happens by email match against HubSpot users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration so your team can invite them to HubSpot or assign a fallback owner. All original create dates and engagement timestamps are preserved as custom properties to maintain historical reporting continuity.
Factoreal
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Direct 1:1 map. Factoreal company records become HubSpot company records. Address fields, domain/website, industry, and employee count map to HubSpot company properties. Parent-company relationships in Factoreal map to HubSpot's parent company association. All address components (city, state, country, zip) are transferred verbatim, and any custom fields on the company object are migrated as HubSpot custom properties.
Factoreal
Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Direct 1:1 map where Factoreal tracks standalone deals. Amount, stage, close date, owner, and deal name transfer as HubSpot deal properties. Deals without a standalone deal object in Factoreal (campaign-tracked deals) require a pre-migration audit to identify and create the appropriate HubSpot deal records.
Factoreal
Campaign
HubSpot
Campaign + Custom Contact Property
1:1Factoreal campaigns (email, SMS, WhatsApp) map to HubSpot CRM Campaigns for email and to a custom multi-select property on Contact for multi-channel tracking. HubSpot has no unified multi-channel campaign object — we surface this in the migration plan and you decide whether to use separate HubSpot tools per channel or collapse into a single reference property.
Factoreal
Engagement (Email Opens/Clicks)
HubSpot
Contact Timeline (Email Activities)
1:1Factoreal email engagement events (opens, clicks, replies) become HubSpot contact timeline entries of type 'email'. Original engagement timestamps and campaign attribution are preserved as custom properties on the timeline entry so reporting reflects the source campaign. If a contact has multiple engagements for the same campaign, each event is recorded as a separate timeline entry to preserve the full activity history.
Factoreal
Engagement (SMS/WhatsApp)
HubSpot
Contact Timeline (Custom Engagement)
1:1SMS and WhatsApp engagement events in Factoreal map to HubSpot custom engagement types on the contact timeline. HubSpot's native tools for SMS and WhatsApp (Conversations Inbox, WhatsApp integration) are separate from the CRM timeline — we write engagement history as reference entries and your team connects the native channels post-migration.
Factoreal
Contact Custom Properties
HubSpot
Contact Custom Properties
1:1Factoreal custom contact properties migrate as HubSpot contact properties. Property type is preserved (text, number, date, picklist) where possible. Multi-select pick-lists in Factoreal map to HubSpot multi-checkbox properties. Date fields map to HubSpot date properties with original values intact. Any properties that cannot map directly are flagged and discussed with your team for custom conversion logic.
Factoreal
Company Custom Properties
HubSpot
Company Custom Properties
1:1Factoreal custom company properties migrate as HubSpot company properties using the same type-preservation logic as contact properties. Industry and employee-count fields map to HubSpot's standard company properties when the values match HubSpot's pick-list formats. Custom fields that do not fit HubSpot's property types are logged for manual review and potential custom‑property creation.
Factoreal
Deal Custom Properties
HubSpot
Deal Custom Properties
1:1Factoreal custom deal properties migrate as HubSpot deal properties. Amount, probability, and stage-related fields require value mapping if Factoreal uses different stage names than HubSpot's default deal pipeline stages. We also transfer any custom deal-level notes, attachments, or activity logs as HubSpot deal properties to preserve full context.
Factoreal
Owner/User
HubSpot
HubSpot User
1:1Factoreal users are matched to HubSpot users by email address. Active Factoreal users who do not yet have HubSpot accounts are flagged in the migration plan — your team creates the HubSpot users before migration runs so all records land with an assigned owner.
Factoreal
Campaign Membership
HubSpot
Contact Custom Property (Campaigns)
1:1Contact-to-campaign associations in Factoreal are critical for reporting continuity. We preserve these as a custom multi-select text property on each contact listing the Factoreal campaigns they were enrolled in. HubSpot's native CRM Campaigns can be populated for email campaigns if your team chooses to rebuild the campaign structure in HubSpot.

Migration approach
Audit Factoreal data model and design HubSpot schema
FlitStack AI starts by connecting to Factoreal's API and extracting the full object inventory — contacts, companies, deals, campaigns, custom fields, and engagement records. We generate a HubSpot schema design plan: contact properties including lifecycle stage assignment rules, deal pipelines matching Factoreal's deal-tracking structure, and custom fields for campaign membership associations. Your team reviews and approves the schema plan before any data moves.
Resolve owners and users by email
Factoreal user accounts are matched to HubSpot users by email address. We produce a pre-migration owner-resolution report listing matched users, unmatched Factoreal users, and unmatched HubSpot users. Your team creates HubSpot accounts for unmatched Factoreal users or designates a fallback owner. No record migrates without a confirmed HubSpot owner assignment. The owner-resolution step ensures that every contact, company, and deal in HubSpot reflects the correct sales rep or team from day one, preventing data‑ownership gaps after cutover.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100-500 records migrates first — spanning contacts, companies, deals, and campaign associations. We generate a field-level diff report comparing Factoreal source values against HubSpot destination values so you can verify lifecycle stage assignment rules, campaign association mapping, and owner resolution before the full run commits. You approve the sample results in writing. This approval gate prevents unintended data mapping from propagating across the entire dataset, reducing the risk of post‑migration corrections.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset migrates using Factoreal's API for extraction and HubSpot's Bulk API or CRM API for load. A delta-pickup window (typically 24-48 hours) captures any records modified in Factoreal during the cutover period so HubSpot reflects Factoreal's final state at go-live. All operations are logged in an audit trail with rollback capability if reconciliation finds data integrity issues. The rollback capability lets your team revert to the pre‑migration state if critical issues are detected after the data loads.
Validate record counts and reconcile key metrics
Post-migration, we validate record counts across all objects, verify field-level integrity on a random sample of records, and confirm deal amounts and close dates match Factoreal's source values. We surface any records that failed migration with error codes and provide a remediation plan. Campaign association completeness is validated against Factoreal's enrollment records. If any anomalies are found, we generate a detailed fix script and guide your team through applying corrections before the go‑live signal.
