Overview

What this migration involves

MOGO is a dental practice management platform that stores patient demographics, appointment scheduling, treatment histories, and billing records in a structured patient-centric model. HubSpot CRM stores contacts, companies, and deals with a flexible property system using snake_case naming (e.g., first_name, appointment_date, treatment_type) and allows custom properties for any field that has no built-in equivalent. The migration carries MOGO patient contacts, companies, and any custom objects into HubSpot contacts, companies, and deals. We map MOGO patient identifiers to a custom contact property (mogo_patient_id__c) and translate appointment records into HubSpot deals with dates, amounts, and stage tracking. Treatment history notes attach as engagement timeline entries. Owner resolution matches MOGO practitioner email addresses to HubSpot user emails. Custom fields that have no HubSpot equivalent (tooth numbers, procedure codes, recall intervals) are created as HubSpot custom properties during migration. Workflows, templates, and automation logic are not migrated — those require a separate rebuild plan in HubSpot. We use HubSpot's Contacts API and Companies API for record creation and the Associations API for linking patients to practices, with delta-pickup capturing any MOGO changes during the cutover window.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

MOGO

What's pushing teams away

  • One reviewer noted that support is phone or YouTube-based, with video tutorials covering only basic setup for routine scenarios, leaving non-standard cases inadequately documented.
  • Error messages and screen prompts in the software contained typos and spelling errors, which some users found unprofessional in a clinical context.
  • Limited review volume on third-party platforms makes independent evaluation difficult, potentially masking broader dissatisfaction patterns that only surface during migration discovery.

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry of any major CRM — the free tier with unlimited contacts lets teams validate fit before committing to a paid plan, according to G2 and Capterra reviewers.
  • Native integration between the CRM and sales engagement tools (sequences, email tracking, dialer) means no separate sync configuration, a theme across G2 Sales Hub reviews.
  • Pipeline visualization, deal tracking, and automated workflows are consistently praised as intuitive and easy to set up without developer involvement.
  • Strong onboarding for new team members — reviewers on Capterra and G2 highlight how quickly new reps become productive without formal training.
  • The HubSpot platform ecosystem (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS hubs) allows growing companies to consolidate tools without building new integrations.

Object mapping

How MOGO objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a MOGO 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.

MOGO

Patient

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

MOGO patient records map directly to HubSpot contacts. First name, last name, email, phone, and address fields migrate as HubSpot standard contact properties. Any MOGO custom fields on the patient (recall_interval, insurance_provider, tooth_number) are created as HubSpot custom contact properties before migration runs. Source patient ID preserved as mogo_patient_id__c for delta-run de-duplication and rollback traceability.

MOGO

Practice Location

maps to

HubSpot

Company

1:1
Fully supported

MOGO practice location data migrates as HubSpot company records. Company name, address, phone, and domain (if available) map to HubSpot Company properties. Patients linked to a MOGO practice associate to the HubSpot company via the Companies API associations endpoint. If MOGO stores multiple locations, each location becomes a separate HubSpot company record.

MOGO

Patient Practice Link

maps to

HubSpot

Contact-Company Association

1:1
Fully supported

The MOGO patient-to-practice association maps to a HubSpot contact-company association using HubSpot's Associations API. Multiple patients can associate to one practice company. The association label (Primary Practice) is set during migration. Unlinked patients create a default placeholder company or remain without a company association based on your configuration.

MOGO

Appointment

maps to

HubSpot

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

MOGO appointments migrate as HubSpot deals to preserve service-booking context, stage history, and amount tracking. Deal name uses the appointment date plus patient name. Deal amount maps from the MOGO procedure fee if present. Deal stage maps to a HubSpot pipeline stage — the default pipeline is used unless your HubSpot account has multiple pipelines configured. Appointment practitioner maps to HubSpot owner via email match.

MOGO

Appointment Date

maps to

HubSpot

Deal Close Date

1:1
Fully supported

MOGO appointment_datetime maps directly to HubSpot deal close_date. If the appointment represents a future scheduled service, the close date is set to the appointment date. Past appointments carry the original appointment date as close_date for historical reporting accuracy. Time-of-day information is stored in a custom property (appointment_time__c) since HubSpot deals do not track intra-day times.

MOGO

Treatment Procedure

maps to

HubSpot

Deal Note / Custom Property

1:1
Fully supported

MOGO procedure records (treatment_type, tooth_number, procedure_code) migrate as HubSpot custom properties on the deal record. For detailed treatment history, a summary note is attached to the deal timeline. If MOGO stores multiple procedures per appointment, each procedure creates a separate deal or a custom multi-value property depending on your HubSpot configuration. Procedure codes without HubSpot equivalents are preserved as custom text fields.

MOGO

Billing Record

maps to

HubSpot

Deal Amount / Note

1:1
Fully supported

MOGO billing records map to HubSpot deal amount for the associated appointment deal. Payment status (paid, outstanding, pending) becomes a deal property (billing_status__c). Full payment history is attached as a note to the deal. HubSpot does not have a native invoice or payment ledger object — billing details are stored in deal notes or custom fields.

MOGO

Practitioner

maps to

HubSpot

HubSpot User / Contact Owner

1:1
Fully supported

MOGO practitioners and staff resolve to HubSpot portal users by email address. If a MOGO practitioner email matches a HubSpot user email, their HubSpot user ID becomes the owner on migrated contacts and deals. Practitioners without HubSpot portal access are stored as a custom property (primary_practitioner__c) on the contact rather than as a deal owner.

MOGO

Patient Note

maps to

HubSpot

Contact Engagement Timeline Note

1:1
Fully supported

MOGO patient notes migrate as HubSpot engagement timeline entries of type 'note' on the contact record. Original timestamp and author are preserved. HubSpot's timeline shows notes chronologically with the author name. Notes exceeding HubSpot's character limit are split across multiple timeline entries with sequencing markers.

MOGO

Recall / Follow-up Record

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Property / HubSpot Workflow Trigger

1:1
Fully supported

MOGO recall_interval and next_appointment fields map to HubSpot custom contact properties (recall_interval__c, next_appointment_date__c). These properties can trigger HubSpot workflows to send recall emails — the workflow itself must be built separately in HubSpot, but the triggering data is present on every migrated contact.

MOGO

Insurance Provider

maps to

HubSpot

Custom Property on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

MOGO insurance_provider data has no direct HubSpot equivalent. A custom contact property (insurance_provider__c) is created before migration. Insurance group name, policy number, and coverage type map to separate custom properties if present in MOGO — each requires pre-creation in HubSpot Settings > Properties.

MOGO

Referral Source

maps to

HubSpot

Contact Property (lead_source)

1:1
Fully supported

MOGO referral_source values (e.g., Organic Search, Referral, Walk-in) map to HubSpot's lead_source contact property. Value-by-value mapping is applied where MOGO uses pick-list values. Any referral source not matching HubSpot's default pick-list is stored as a custom property (referral_source_custom__c) or added as a custom pick-list value in HubSpot before migration.

Pair-specific challenges

  • HubSpot has no native appointment or scheduling object — appointments require deal or custom property mapping

    MOGO appointments are standalone records with practitioner, patient, date, time, and procedure details. HubSpot does not have a native appointment or scheduling object — the CRM tracks contacts, companies, and deals but not time-blocked appointments with chair and practitioner assignment. We map appointments as HubSpot deals using the appointment date as close_date and procedure details as deal properties. Intra-day time slots are stored as a custom property (appointment_time__c) on the deal. If your practice needs scheduling visibility within HubSpot, that requires HubSpot's Meetings tool or a third-party scheduling integration — which must be configured separately after migration. The deal-based appointment model works for service-booking pipeline reporting but does not replace a dedicated scheduling view.

  • Custom properties must be pre-created in HubSpot before migration — HubSpot does not auto-create them on import

    HubSpot requires each custom contact and deal property to exist in the account before data can populate it via import or API. MOGO's dental-specific fields (tooth_number, procedure_code, recall_interval, insurance_provider, appointment_time) have no HubSpot native equivalents. Each requires manual creation in HubSpot under Settings > Properties before the migration run. If a custom property is missing during migration, the corresponding MOGO field is either skipped or mapped to a generic Notes field. We provide a custom property creation checklist as part of the pre-migration schema plan, and your team or our team creates these properties before the migration load begins. Missing properties are the most common cause of field-level data loss in MOGO-to-HubSpot migrations.

  • HubSpot's default deal stage model differs from MOGO appointment statuses — stage mapping must be defined per-pipeline

    MOGO appointment statuses include Scheduled, Completed, Cancelled, and No-show. HubSpot deal stages are user-configurable but default to a sales-oriented funnel (Appointment Scheduled, Qualified Lead, Presentation Scheduled, Decision Maker Bought-In, Contract Sent, Closed Won, Closed Lost). MOGO appointment statuses do not map 1:1 to HubSpot's defaults — Completed maps to Closed Won, Cancelled and No-show map to Closed Lost, and Scheduled maps to the earliest pipeline stage. If your HubSpot account has multiple pipelines, stage mapping must be defined per pipeline. We deliver a stage-mapping plan before migration so your HubSpot admin can configure the correct stage values and forecast categories for each pipeline.

  • Practitioners without HubSpot portal access cannot be deal owners — they become contact properties instead

    HubSpot deal owner must be a portal user with a HubSpot login. MOGO practitioners who do not have HubSpot portal accounts cannot be assigned as deal owners. We resolve MOGO practitioner email addresses against HubSpot user emails during migration — matched practitioners become HubSpot deal owners. Unmatched practitioners (staff without portal access) are stored as a custom contact property (primary_practitioner__c) rather than as a deal owner. If your practice needs practitioner assignment visible in the HubSpot deal view, your admin can either invite practitioners to HubSpot before migration or build a custom workflow to surface the practitioner property on deal records.

  • Billing records and payment history require a deal-note strategy since HubSpot has no native invoice object

    MOGO stores billing records, payment amounts, payment dates, and outstanding balances linked to patient and appointment. HubSpot has no native billing or invoice object — the closest equivalent is deal amount and deal stage. We map MOGO payment amounts to HubSpot deal amounts, payment status to a custom deal property (billing_status__c), and full payment history as deal notes. If your practice relies on MOGO's billing ledger for accounting reconciliation, the migrated deal notes provide a reference audit trail but do not replace a dedicated accounting system export. Insurance claim status from MOGO is stored as a custom property on the deal for reference only.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful MOGO to HubSpot data migration

  1. Create HubSpot custom properties for MOGO dental fields before migration

    Before data loads, your HubSpot admin (or our team) creates custom contact and deal properties in HubSpot under Settings > Properties. This includes mogo_patient_id__c, insurance_provider__c, recall_interval__c, appointment_time__c, treatment_type__c, tooth_number__c, procedure_code__c, and billing_status__c. We provide a property creation checklist specifying name, type (text, date, number, pick-list), and visibility settings for each. This step is mandatory — HubSpot does not auto-create properties on import, and any MOGO field without a corresponding HubSpot property is skipped or stored in Notes.

  2. Resolve MOGO practitioners to HubSpot users by email match

    We extract MOGO practitioner email addresses and match them against HubSpot portal user emails using the HubSpot Users API. Matched practitioners receive their HubSpot user IDs as deal owners during migration. Unmatched practitioners are flagged in the pre-migration report — your team either creates HubSpot portal accounts for them before migration or accepts that they are stored as a contact custom property instead of a deal owner. No patient or deal record lands without an owner assignment strategy defined.

  3. Migrate practice locations to HubSpot companies first, then patients to contacts with associations

    HubSpot requires companies to exist before contacts can associate to them via the Companies API. We migrate MOGO practice locations as HubSpot company records first, then migrate patient records as HubSpot contacts. The MOGO patient-practice link is recreated as a HubSpot contact-company association using HubSpot's Associations API. If a MOGO patient is not linked to a practice, they are migrated as a standalone contact without a company association. Appointment records are migrated as HubSpot deals and linked to the patient contact and associated company after both exist.

  4. Run a sample migration of 50–100 patients with field-level diff before full migration

    A representative sample migrates first — typically 50–100 patient contacts spanning different MOGO property sets, a sample of appointment deals with various statuses, and a few patient notes. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against HubSpot record values for each mapped field. You verify that custom properties (recall_interval, tooth_number, procedure_code) populated correctly, appointment dates landed as deal close dates, and practitioner email resolution produced the correct HubSpot owner assignments. Any mapping errors are corrected before the full run commits.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log, rollback available

    Full migration runs against the HubSpot API. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours from go-live) captures any MOGO patient or appointment records modified during cutover. An audit log records every record created, updated, or skipped in HubSpot with the reason code. If reconciliation fails — for example, if a deal stage mapping produced unexpected Closed Lost records — one-click rollback reverts the migration and your MOGO account remains intact. After rollback, the migration plan is adjusted and re-run.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Strengths

  • Genuinely useful free CRM tier with no seat limit on contact records.
  • All-in-one sales engagement layer (sequences, email tracking, calling, dialer) embedded natively in the CRM, eliminating a separate integration.
  • Intuitive interface and fast onboarding for individual reps, per G2 and Capterra reviews.
  • Workflow automation triggers across contacts, deals, and tickets with a visual builder.
  • API coverage for all standard objects including custom objects at Enterprise tier.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is contact-based at the marketing layer — importing all records as marketing contacts can multiply the monthly bill by 4×.
  • Feature tier cliffs are frequent surprises: sequences, calling, advanced reporting, and quoting are all gated, often requiring plan upgrades mid-implementation.
  • Mandatory onboarding fees at Professional ($1,500) and Enterprise ($3,500) are not prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
  • API rate limits are restrictive for bulk migration — burst limits of 100-200 req/10sec and search endpoint limits of 4 req/sec require careful job queuing.
  • Custom objects, additional pipelines, and advanced forecasting are Enterprise-only, making cost projections difficult for growing teams.

Most MOGO-to-HubSpot migrations complete in 24–48 hours for under 25,000 patient records. The pre-migration phase — creating HubSpot custom properties, resolving practitioners to HubSpot users, and running the sample diff — adds 3–5 days before the migration run. Larger MOGO datasets with 25,000+ patient records or complex multi-location practice structures extend to 5–10 days. The custom property creation step is the longest planning task, especially for MOGO setups with 30+ dental-specific fields per patient record.
