Overview
Field Squared and HubSpot occupy different corners of the revenue stack. Field Squared is a field service automation platform where work orders, asset management, and mobile workforce tracking are the primary objects — CRM data lives alongside scheduling, dispatch, and technician management. HubSpot is a customer platform where Contact, Company, Deal, and Ticket are the canonical objects, with lifecycle_stage as the unifying property across the buyer journey. A migration from Field Squared to HubSpot therefore requires translating a field-service data model into a general CRM model: work orders become tickets or deal records depending on revenue scope, technicians become contacts, and asset records require custom object mapping or reference-field preservation. We export Field Squared data via their RESTful API using document and task payloads, apply field-type-aware transformations, and load into HubSpot using HubSpot's CRM imports or API. Workflows, automations, and scheduling logic in Field Squared have no HubSpot equivalent and must be rebuilt manually using HubSpot's workflow engine post-migration. The migration does not affect your live Field Squared environment — we use scoped read access with a delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) capturing in-flight changes during cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Field Squared 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.
Field Squared
Contact / Customer
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Field Squared customer records map directly to HubSpot contacts via email matching. We preserve original create dates as custom datetime fields (original_createdate_fs__c) since HubSpot's Createdate is set at import time. Email, phone, address, and job title transfer as direct property maps. Any custom fields on the customer record also migrate using field-type-aware mapping to equivalent HubSpot properties.
Field Squared
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Field Squared company records migrate to HubSpot companies with direct field mapping for name, domain/website, industry, employee count, and revenue. Parent-child company hierarchies in Field Squared map to HubSpot's parent company field. Industry pick-list values require per-value mapping where option labels differ between the two platforms.
Field Squared
Work Order
HubSpot
Ticket
1:1Field Squared work orders are the core migration object — they map to HubSpot tickets for service-related records. We preserve work order status, priority, scheduled start/end times, and the associated customer contact. Revenue-bearing work orders can alternatively map to Deals.
Field Squared
Work Order (revenue-bearing)
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Work orders carrying pricing, billing amounts, or contract values route to HubSpot Deals instead of tickets. The work order amount maps to deal amount, and the work order completion date maps to the deal close date. Deal stage defaults to a configured pipeline stage unless your team specifies a mapping from Field Squared status values.
Field Squared
Task
HubSpot
Task
1:1Field Squared tasks migrate to HubSpot tasks with original status (Not Started, In Progress, Completed), scheduled times, task type, and description all preserved. Task assignments resolve by email match to HubSpot owners. Completed task history populates the activity timeline on the associated contact or company record in HubSpot.
Field Squared
Document
HubSpot
File (on record)
1:1Field Squared documents attached to work orders, tasks, or customers re-upload to HubSpot as files associated with the matching contact, company, ticket, or deal record. We download originals from Field Squared's document store via API, preserve original file names and timestamps, and re-upload to HubSpot Files with associations restored.
Field Squared
Asset
HubSpot
Custom Object (Asset)
1:1HubSpot has no native asset management object, so we create a custom object named Asset with properties for serial number (serial_number__c), equipment type (asset_type__c), location (location__c), and operational status (status__c). Asset-to-customer associations are preserved via custom relationship properties linking each asset to the appropriate HubSpot contact or company.
Field Squared
Custom Fields (all objects)
HubSpot
Custom Properties
1:1Field Squared's 30+ custom field types (text, number, date, datetime, pick-list, multi-select, checkbox, file) each map to the closest HubSpot property type. Pick-list and multi-select fields require value-by-value mapping where option labels differ. Complex types like formula fields or geolocation are approximated to the nearest HubSpot type and documented in the field-level diff.
Field Squared
User / Technician
HubSpot
User (Contact fallback)
1:1Field Squared user and technician records that don't have a corresponding customer contact record are created as HubSpot contacts with a 'FS_Technician__c' flag set to true. Active user email addresses are matched 1:1 to HubSpot user accounts for owner resolution on migrated records.
Field Squared
Workflow Configuration
HubSpot
No equivalent
1:1Field Squared workflow configurations (customizable business-process automation tied to work order state changes and task completions) do not migrate directly. We export all workflow definitions as a JSON reference document for your team to rebuild manually in HubSpot's workflow engine post-migration. Workflow rebuild is scoped separately and not included in standard data migration pricing.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Field Squared gotchas
Automation Rules and Dashboard configurations lack public API access
No dedicated Customers API—contact data extracted from Work Orders
Batch document migration requires array-based payload construction
HubSpot gotchas
Marketing Contacts billing model is migration-critical
Feature tier gating is not visible until onboarding
Mandatory onboarding fees inflate year-one cost
HubSpot CSV importer cannot migrate engagements or attachments
Custom objects require Enterprise and a pre-existing schema
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Field Squared data model and classify work order types
We export the full Field Squared object inventory via their REST API — documents, tasks, work orders, assets, custom field definitions, and user records. We then run a classification session with your team to mark which work order types carry revenue (route to Deals) and which are service-only (route to Tickets). This classification drives the entire object mapping plan and is validated against a sample export before migration design begins.
Create HubSpot custom object schema for Asset records
Since HubSpot has no native asset object, we work with your HubSpot admin (or our team) to create the Asset custom object in HubSpot before any data moves. We define custom properties for serial number, asset type, location, and status — matching Field Squared field types to HubSpot property types. This schema must be active in HubSpot before we can validate asset records during the test migration.
Resolve Field Squared users to HubSpot owners by email
We extract all Field Squared user and technician records and match them against existing HubSpot users by email address. Unmatched users are flagged in a pre-migration report with the option to invite them to HubSpot or assign their records to a fallback owner. No data moves until owner resolution is complete — this prevents orphaned records in HubSpot where the owner field is blank.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 200–500 records covering contacts, companies, work orders, tasks, and assets. We generate a field-level diff between the Field Squared export and the HubSpot import showing every mapped value, skipped field, and approximated type conversion. Your team reviews the diff to confirm asset custom object mapping, work order-to-deal/ticket classification, and pick-list value translations before the full run is scheduled.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
The full migration runs in sequence: companies first (foreign key dependency), then contacts, then work orders split into deals and tickets, then tasks, then assets. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any records created or modified in Field Squared during the cutover period. Every operation is logged in an audit trail, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails — this reverts HubSpot to its pre-migration state without data loss.
