Overview
Formitize stores operational data across clients, contacts, jobs, assets, quotes, and custom fields in a flat module structure built around field-service and mobile workflows. HubSpot organizes data as contacts, companies, deals, and optional custom objects with lifecycle_stage as the unifying CRM property. The two platforms model relationships differently — Formitize uses a client hierarchy with nested jobs, while HubSpot uses a contact-company-deal association graph. FlitStack AI exports Formitize data via the API and CSV, then maps Formitize clients to HubSpot companies and Formitize contacts to HubSpot contacts, splitting Formitize name fields into HubSpot firstname and lastname. Job records become HubSpot deals (or custom objects depending on your workflow), Formitize custom fields become HubSpot custom properties, and Formitize attachments are re-uploaded to HubSpot file storage. Workflows, sequences, and automations cannot migrate and must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder — we export your Formitize workflow definitions as a rebuild reference. We run a sample migration with field-level diff before the full cutover, then capture any in-flight changes with a delta-pickup window.
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 Formitize 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.
Formitize
Client
HubSpot
Company
1:1Formitize's client record maps directly to HubSpot's Company object. Client name becomes Company name, domain maps to website, industry maps to industry pick-list. Client hierarchies (parent-client / child-client) map to HubSpot's parent company association via the Parent Company field. Multi-address clients map the primary address fields; additional locations are stored as a custom property or note.
Formitize
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Formitize's contact record maps to HubSpot Contact. Formitize stores contactname as a single field — we split this into firstname and lastname using the last space as the delimiter. Email, phone, and mobilephone map directly. A contact without a Formitize client link lands in HubSpot as a standalone contact; contacts linked to a client are associated to the mapped HubSpot Company via the Contact-Company association.
Formitize
Job
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Formitize Job records map to HubSpot Deals. Job name becomes Deal name, job status maps to Deal stage, job amount (if a billable job) maps to Deal amount, and the expected completion date maps to close date. Formitize jobs without a monetary amount map with $0 amount. Job type becomes a custom Deal property (job_type) for filtering and reporting. The Job-Contact and Job-Client associations map to Deal-Contact association roles.
Formitize
Job Stage / Status
HubSpot
Deal Stage
1:1Formitize job statuses (e.g., Scheduled, In Progress, Completed, On Hold, Cancelled) map to HubSpot Deal stage values via a value-by-value mapping. We deliver a stage mapping table before migration so you can configure HubSpot pipeline stages to match Formitize status labels. Stage probability re-applied from HubSpot's default or your configured values.
Formitize
Asset
HubSpot
Custom Object (Asset)
1:1Formitize Asset records (equipment, inventory, location-tagged items) have no direct HubSpot CRM equivalent. We create a HubSpot Custom Object named Asset and map asset name, type, and location fields. GPS coordinates stored as lat/long text properties; zone fields map as a text property. If your team uses assets primarily for service tickets, consider mapping assets to HubSpot Tickets with custom properties instead.
Formitize
QuoteAccept (Quote)
HubSpot
Deal — Quote Line Items
1:1Formitize QuoteAccept quotes and PayNow invoice records have no HubSpot CRM-native equivalent at Starter and Professional tiers. HubSpot Enterprise Sales Hub includes a native Quotes object. For non-Enterprise tiers, we preserve the quote data (line items, amounts, acceptance status) as a custom property on the associated Deal and as a note attachment. Invoice and payment records are preserved as notes with original amounts.
Formitize
Custom Fields (all modules)
HubSpot
Custom Properties
1:1Formitize custom fields on Clients, Contacts, Jobs, and Assets become HubSpot custom properties. Field type mapping: Formitize text → HubSpot single-line text; Formitize number → HubSpot number; Formitize date → HubSpot date; Formitize dropdown → HubSpot select (enumeration); Formitize checkbox → HubSpot checkbox. GPS and zone fields (Formitize-specific types) become HubSpot single-line text properties.
Formitize
Attachment / File (Job)
HubSpot
HubSpot Files
1:1Formitize job attachments, client documents, and uploaded forms are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot file storage. Each file is re-associated to the corresponding HubSpot Contact, Company, or Deal record. HubSpot's file size limit is 256MB per file. We surface any files exceeding this limit before migration so you can decide how to handle them.
Formitize
Client-Contact Association
HubSpot
Contact-Company Association
1:1Formitize's client-contact linking (a contact belongs to one or more clients) maps to HubSpot's primary Contact-Company association. For contacts linked to multiple Formitize clients, we map the primary client as the Company association and store secondary client links as a custom multi-value property or note for reference.
Formitize
Job-Contact Association
HubSpot
Deal Contact Role
1:1Formitize jobs linked to contacts map to HubSpot Deals with associated Contact Roles. The primary contact on the Formitize job becomes the primary Contact Role on the HubSpot Deal. Additional contacts on the Formitize job are added as secondary Contact Roles.

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.
Formitize gotchas
Limited bulk export mechanism complicates migration scoping
Custom field schemas are per-account, not organizational templates
Workflow definitions do not transfer between platforms
Asset zone and GPS data requires explicit extraction
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 Formitize data model and export all record types
FlitStack connects to your Formitize account via API and inventories every module: clients, contacts, jobs, assets, quotes, and custom fields. We capture record counts per type, custom field definitions and types, workflow rule definitions, and job-pipeline stage labels. This audit produces a migration scope document and a field-mapping table. You review and approve the mapping before any data movement begins.
Export Formitize data and validate record quality
We extract Formitize data via a combination of API calls (for real-time relationships and custom fields) and CSV exports (for bulk record sets from Smart Tables). Records are validated for completeness — duplicate emails flagged, orphaned contacts identified, incomplete addresses noted. Data quality issues are reported to you before migration so you can decide whether to clean them in Formitize or accept the data as-is in HubSpot.
Set up HubSpot properties, pipelines, and custom objects
Before data lands, we create HubSpot custom properties to receive Formitize custom fields that have no built-in HubSpot equivalent. For Formitize Assets, we set up a Custom Object with the required fields. We configure your HubSpot Deal pipelines to match Formitize job status labels using the agreed stage mapping table. This step requires a HubSpot admin to confirm property names and pipeline stages — we deliver the configuration plan in advance.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records — spanning clients, contacts, jobs, assets, and custom fields — migrates to HubSpot in a test run. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Formitize values against destination HubSpot values for every mapped property. You review the diff to confirm name splitting, company-contact associations, deal stage mapping, and custom field rendering. No full migration runs until you approve the sample.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full record set migrates to HubSpot. During the cutover window, your team continues working in Formitize — FlitStack maintains scoped read access only and does not modify your Formitize account. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures records created or modified in Formitize after the migration begins. After delta pickup, we run a post-migration validation comparing record counts, association integrity, and property values before final sign-off.
