Overview
ipresso is a 360-degree marketing automation and CDP platform that stores contacts, companies, and campaign engagement data. Its object model centers on contacts with behavioral and transactional properties, companies with hierarchical relationships, and multi-channel activity logs (email, SMS, push). HubSpot CRM organizes data into Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Tickets as first-class objects, with a native lifecycle_stage property and deal pipelines with configurable stages. We map ipresso contacts to HubSpot Contacts preserving email, phone, and custom properties, and ipresso companies to HubSpot Companies with domain and industry data. Deal and pipeline data migrates to HubSpot Deals with stage mapping per pipeline. Activity history — email opens, clicks, SMS deliveries — transfers as Engagement Hub activities with original timestamps and owners. Custom properties from ipresso become HubSpot custom properties, requiring HubSpot-side field creation before migration. Workflows, automations, and campaign logic do not migrate and must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder or imported via HubSpot's Smart Transfer configuration export. Our migration uses ipresso's API for data extraction, applies field-level transformation, and loads into HubSpot via the Contacts, Companies, and Deals APIs with a delta-pickup window capturing any in-flight changes during cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a iPresso 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.
iPresso
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1ipresso contacts map directly to HubSpot Contacts. Email, phone, and standard demographic properties map as-is. Custom contact properties that have no HubSpot equivalent are created as HubSpot custom properties before migration, and property type (text, number, date, picklist) is preserved during field creation.
iPresso
Contact Behavioral Score
HubSpot
Contact HubSpot Score
1:1ipresso's behavioral and engagement scoring is numeric but stored as a contact property. HubSpot has no native scoring field on Contact — the score migrates to a custom number property (e.g., ipresso_score__c) that your team can use in HubSpot workflows or list segmentation.
iPresso
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1ipresso company records map to HubSpot Companies. Name, domain, industry, and employee count map directly. Parent-child company hierarchies in ipresso map to HubSpot's parent company association. Multi-company contacts (N:1 in ipresso) collapse to a primary company association in HubSpot with additional associations surfaced as secondary.
iPresso
Campaign / Campaign Member
HubSpot
Contact + List Membership
1:1ipresso campaign membership (which contacts received which campaign communications) maps to HubSpot contact lists and contact properties indicating campaign membership. HubSpot's Lists model is the closest structural equivalent to ipresso campaign segments. Campaign-level engagement metrics (opens, clicks) are stored as engagement history rather than aggregated campaign stats.
iPresso
Deal / Pipeline Data (custom field storage)
HubSpot
Deal
1:1ipresso has no native deal object — deal data stored as custom contact or company properties (e.g., deal_amount, deal_stage, close_date) must be extracted and reshaped into HubSpot Deals. Each unique deal identifier in ipresso becomes a HubSpot Deal record. The deal's associated contact or company links via HubSpot's deal associations.
iPresso
Pipeline / Stage
HubSpot
Deal Pipeline + Stage
1:1ipresso stage values stored in custom fields map to HubSpot deal pipeline stages. We read the source stage values and create corresponding HubSpot pipeline stages during pre-migration setup. Probability values associated with stages in ipresso are preserved as HubSpot stage probabilities on the Deal object.
iPresso
Email Engagement (opens, clicks, bounces)
HubSpot
Engagement Timeline (email activities)
1:1ipresso email engagement events (sent, delivered, opened, clicked, bounced) map to HubSpot engagement timeline entries on the Contact record. Each engagement event creates a distinct activity with original timestamp and channel type preserved. The engagement type is set to 'EMAIL' for all email-related events.
iPresso
SMS Engagement
HubSpot
Engagement Timeline (SMS activities)
1:1ipresso SMS events (sent, delivered, clicked) map to HubSpot engagement timeline entries with type 'SMS'. HubSpot's native SMS tracking requires a connected SMS provider (Twilio, or a HubSpot native SMS add-on); we log the engagement events regardless and flag that live SMS tracking requires post-migration configuration.
iPresso
Web Push / Banner Engagement
HubSpot
Custom Engagement Properties
1:1ipresso's web push and banner notification events have no direct HubSpot equivalent. Engagement records are logged as custom activities on the Contact with the channel type stored as a property (e.g., push_notification_sent). Campaign association is preserved via the activity's associated campaign identifier.
iPresso
Contact Owner / User
HubSpot
Contact Owner (HubSpot User)
1:1ipresso user records map to HubSpot Users by email match. Unmatched ipresso owners are flagged before migration — your team either creates HubSpot user accounts for them or assigns their records to a designated fallback owner. No contact lands without a HubSpot owner assignment.
iPresso
Custom Contact Property
HubSpot
Custom Contact Property
1:1Any ipresso custom contact property that does not match a HubSpot native property name or type is created as a HubSpot custom property before migration. Property types (single-line text, multi-line text, number, date, checkbox, select) are mapped to HubSpot equivalents. Select (picklist) properties require value-by-value mapping if ipresso uses closed picklists.
iPresso
Attachment / File
HubSpot
HubSpot File
1:1ipresso files attached to contacts or companies are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files. File size limits apply (HubSpot default 25MB per file; larger files split or linked). File associations to contacts or companies are recreated using HubSpot's file attachment feature on the relevant record.

Migration approach
Audit ipresso data structure and extract object inventory
FlitStack AI connects to ipresso's API and inventories all contact properties, company properties, and any custom fields storing deal data. We document every property name, type, and usage frequency — properties with zero values are flagged for exclusion. This audit produces a source schema map that forms the basis of the HubSpot field creation plan. We also identify which contacts have deal-related custom fields and extract the deal data separately for reshaping into HubSpot Deals.
Design HubSpot schema: custom properties, pipelines, and deal associations
Based on the source schema map, we create all required HubSpot custom properties (missing native equivalents), configure deal pipelines and stages matching your ipresso deal data, and set up deal-contact associations. This step runs in a HubSpot sandbox or your live portal (your choice) so your team can review property labels and pipeline names before data lands. We deliver a schema setup checklist your HubSpot admin can execute in under an hour.
Resolve owners and map campaign membership
ipresso user accounts are matched to HubSpot Users by email address. Unmatched owners are listed with their associated record counts so your team can create HubSpot accounts or assign to a fallback owner. Campaign membership is mapped to HubSpot lists and contact properties — we create one HubSpot list per ipresso campaign and set the campaign_type property on each contact. This step runs before the main migration so owner resolution is clean before contacts and companies load.
Migrate contacts and companies first, then reshape and load deals
HubSpot requires Companies to exist before Contacts can associate to them (via associatedCompanyId), and Contacts to exist before Deals can link to them (via contact roles). We sequence the migration accordingly: Companies load first, then Contacts with company associations, then Deals with contact and company links. The deal reshaping step extracts deal properties from ipresso custom fields and creates corresponding HubSpot Deal records with stage mapping. This sequencing prevents foreign-key failures and ensures deal-to-contact linkage is correct.
Run sample migration with field-level diff and validation
A representative sample (typically 200–500 records covering a range of contact types, company sizes, and deal stages) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values so you can verify property mapping, lifecycle stage assignment, owner resolution, and deal association before the full run commits. Any mapping errors are corrected in the transformation logic and the sample re-runs. Your team signs off on the sample before the full migration is scheduled.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
The full migration runs against your HubSpot portal. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any new or modified ipresso records created during the cutover window. Every migration operation is logged — records created, updated, or skipped, along with the reason for any skip (duplicate, missing required field, unmatched owner). One-click rollback reverts all operations if reconciliation fails. After rollback window closes, we deliver a final reconciliation report showing record counts by object, field coverage percentages, and any records that require manual review.
