Migrate your Inflection.io data
AI-native marketing automation for product-led B2B companies that run expansion, onboarding, and retention motions across hundreds of millions of contacts and live product event streams.
In its favor
Why people choose Inflection.io
The signal that keeps Inflection.io on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Built for product-led growth companies that need lifecycle marketing beyond lead acquisition — expansion, onboarding, and retention motions run on live product signals rather than form fills alone.
Contact database scales to hundreds of millions of records without database-size pricing penalties, eliminating the contact-deletion overhead that plagues Marketo and HubSpot customers.
Bi-directional two-way sync with Salesforce, Segment, and data warehouses (Snowflake/Redshift) with zero-ETL pipeline setup — no per-field mapping overhead for large event datasets.
AI-native campaign building lets teams prompt full Journey creation including audiences, emails, and micro-campaign targeting in a single Model Context Protocol workflow.
Usage-based pricing on Monthly Marketed Contacts (MMCs) means companies only pay for contacts actually flowing through Journey workflows, not dormant records sitting in the database.
Enterprise annual contracts at $36K+ starting prices create meaningful commitment risk, and mid-market teams report difficulty negotiating tier-downs when contact volumes change.
As a smaller vendor with ~50 employees, customers with complex compliance or security requirements find the platform's SOC 2 posture and audit support less mature than Marketo or Eloqua.
Limited ecosystem compared to HubSpot or Marketo — fewer third-party integrations out of the box and fewer agency partners with certified implementation expertise.

What gets migrated
Inflection.io object support
Object-by-object support for Inflection.io migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Contacts
Fully supportedContacts are the central record in Inflection.io, supporting unlimited database size. Standard properties (email, name, company) plus unlimited custom Person fields are fully migratable. AI-assigned PQL scores are preserved as numeric custom fields.
Product Events
Fully supportedInflection.io ingests and stores behavioral product usage events at scale (billions of events). We map product event schemas into the platform's native Product Data Explorer format and preserve the full event payload as structured custom fields.
Journeys
Mapping requiredJourneys are Inflection.io's workflow orchestrator. We map Journey definitions including step sequences, trigger conditions, and action steps. Complex nested Journey branches with AI-generated content tokens require manual review post-migration.
Segments
Fully supportedSegments are audience definitions built on contact properties, product events, and behavioral signals. We export segment rules and membership counts and rebuild them in the destination using equivalent filter logic.
Accounts
Fully supportedAccount records in Inflection.io support hierarchical company structures. We migrate Account fields and Account-level custom properties with two-way CRM sync preservation.
Custom Person Fields
Fully supportedCustom Person fields support text, numeric, date/time, and boolean types. Update Values as a Flow Step allows writing field values from within Journey steps. We preserve all custom field definitions and their current values per contact.
Salesforce Sync
Mapping requiredBi-directional two-way Salesforce sync is a core Inflection feature. We map field-level CRM field associations carefully, as custom Salesforce fields referenced in sync rules must exist in both orgs for values to propagate correctly.
Forms
Fully supportedNative Inflection.io forms and third-party forms (Formstack, Webflow, HubSpot, Marketo) are supported. Form submission records and field mappings are migratable, including web tracking attribution on form fills.
Web Tracking Events
Fully supportedInflection's own .js web tracking associates anonymous visits with identified contacts via email link clicks. We preserve tracked page-visit history and behavioral attribution data as custom contact properties.
Data Warehouse Sync
Mapping requiredZero-ETL bi-directional sync with Snowflake and Redshift allows streaming of contact and product event data without per-field API calls. Migration requires mapping warehouse table schemas to Inflection's data model and re-establishing the sync connection.
Tags/Labels
Fully supportedContact-level tags and segment membership flags are migratable as custom properties or tags. We preserve tag counts and apply the same tag vocabulary in the destination.
MMC Billing Records
Mapping requiredMonthly Marketed Contact counts are derived from Journey flow logs. We export Journey execution history to establish baseline MMC usage for pricing negotiations in the destination platform.
