CRM migration
Field-level mapping, validation, and rollback between Flowlu and HubSpot. We move data and schema; workflows are rebuilt natively in HubSpot.

Overview
Flowlu bundles CRM, project management, invoicing, and workflow automation in a single platform designed for service-focused SMBs. HubSpot CRM separates marketing, sales, and service into distinct hubs within one ecosystem, offering deeper reporting, a larger integration marketplace, and lifecycle-stage tracking that Flowlu lacks. This architectural difference shapes every migration decision: Flowlu's project and task data require custom-object planning in HubSpot, and Flowlu's workflow automations must be rebuilt as HubSpot workflows or sequences. We map Flowlu contacts, companies, opportunities, tasks, and custom fields to their HubSpot equivalents via the HubSpot API and bulk import endpoints. Owner resolution uses email matching against HubSpot users. A 24-48 hour delta-pickup window captures any in-flight changes during cutover, and one-click rollback protects against reconciliation failures. Projects, invoices, and knowledge-base content are surfaced as custom objects or reference fields — your team decides how to structure these post-migration.
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 Flowlu 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.
Flowlu
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Flowlu contacts migrate directly to HubSpot contacts. Email serves as the primary identifier. Flowlu contact properties map to HubSpot default and custom properties — any properties without HubSpot equivalents become custom fields.
Flowlu
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Flowlu companies map to HubSpot companies. Domain-based matching links incoming contacts to their parent company automatically in HubSpot. Parent-child company hierarchies in Flowlu translate to HubSpot's company associations.
Flowlu
Opportunity
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Flowlu opportunities map to HubSpot deals. Each deal inherits the associated company and contact from Flowlu. Deal owner resolves via email match to HubSpot users before assignment.
Flowlu
Pipeline
HubSpot
Deal Pipeline
1:1Flowlu's single pipeline model maps to HubSpot's deal pipeline configuration. If Flowlu uses custom stage labels, we create matching HubSpot pipeline stages. Probability weights are set per stage based on Flowlu's stage completion rates.
Flowlu
Task
HubSpot
Task
1:1Flowlu tasks migrate as HubSpot tasks. Task status (open, completed) maps to HubSpot task completion flag. Original due dates and assignees preserved. Recurring tasks in Flowlu require manual rebuild in HubSpot Workflows.
Flowlu
Project
HubSpot
Custom Object
1:1Flowlu projects have no HubSpot native equivalent. We create a Projects custom object with key fields (name, description, status, owner, dates). Project-task relationships are preserved as associations linking to HubSpot tasks.
Flowlu
Invoice
HubSpot
Custom Object
1:1Flowlu invoices require a custom object in HubSpot. We map invoice number, amount, status, due date, and line items as custom object fields. Payment history links to the parent company and deal as applicable.
Flowlu
User (Owner)
HubSpot
User
1:1Flowlu users resolve to HubSpot users by email. Unmatched users are flagged for manual assignment before migration. Inactive Flowlu users are excluded unless flagged as records to preserve.
Flowlu
Activity (Call/Email/Meeting)
HubSpot
Engagement
1:1Flowlu activities map to HubSpot engagements. Calls become call engagements, emails become email engagements, and meetings become meeting engagements. Original timestamps and owners preserved. Body content migrates to engagement notes.
Flowlu
Custom Field (any object)
HubSpot
Custom Property / Custom Object Field
1:1Flowlu custom fields per object translate to HubSpot custom properties (on contacts, companies, deals) or custom object fields (for projects and invoices). Field types are matched: text → string, number → number, date → date, picklist → picklist.
Flowlu
Knowledge Base Article
HubSpot
No Equivalent
1:1Flowlu knowledge base content has no direct HubSpot equivalent. We export articles as a structured CSV with titles and body content for import into HubSpot's knowledge base tool or a linked CMS if available on your HubSpot tier.
Flowlu
Workflow Automation
HubSpot
Workflow / Sequence
1:1Flowlu workflow automations cannot migrate. We export your workflow definitions as a reference document for rebuilding in HubSpot's Workflow tool or Sequences. Automation logic must be recreated based on business requirements.

Migration approach
Audit Flowlu data and configure HubSpot schema
We read Flowlu's exported objects (contacts, companies, opportunities, tasks, projects, invoices) via CSV export or API and document every custom field, picklist value, and owner. We then create the corresponding HubSpot properties and custom objects before validation begins. If Flowlu uses multiple pipelines, we configure matching HubSpot pipelines with stage probability weights derived from Flowlu stage completion data.
Resolve owners and validate custom field types
We match Flowlu user email addresses to HubSpot user accounts. Unmatched users are flagged with record counts so your team can invite them to HubSpot or assign a fallback owner. We also validate custom field data types in Flowlu against HubSpot property types — date fields, number fields, and picklists are mapped value-by-value before the migration engine runs.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100-500 records (covering contacts, companies, deals, and tasks) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination field contents, flagging any mapping gaps, truncated text, or value mismatches. You review the diff and approve before the full run commits. This step catches picklist value gaps and custom property creation needs before they affect all records.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset migrates via HubSpot's bulk import API and CRM API. A delta-pickup window of 24-48 hours captures any records modified or created in Flowlu during the cutover. All operations are logged in an audit trail. If reconciliation identifies missing or duplicate records, one-click rollback reverts the full run so corrections can be applied before re-execution.
Validate, export workflow reference, and close
We run post-migration validation checks: record counts per object, association integrity (contacts linked to companies, deals linked to contacts), owner assignment rates, and custom field population rates. We deliver a Flowlu workflow export document listing each automation's trigger, conditions, and actions for your HubSpot admin to reference during rebuild. The migration closes with a handoff report summarizing what migrated, what requires manual action, and what was not migratable by design.
