Overview
NetHunt CRM organizes data inside Gmail using a flexible Folder-based model where each folder holds Records (which function as combined contact-company hybrids), Deals, Comments, and Files. HubSpot separates these into distinct CRM objects — Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Tickets — with a lifecycle_stage property that tracks where a contact sits in the buyer journey. The migration requires splitting NetHunt Records into HubSpot Contacts and Companies (based on whether the record represents a person or organization), mapping NetHunt Folders to HubSpot Pipelines and Deal Stages, and translating NetHunt Comments to HubSpot Notes with original timestamps preserved. Custom fields in NetHunt map to HubSpot custom properties, with some requiring value-by-value translation when pick-list options differ between platforms. NetHunt workflows, automation rules, and sequence configurations do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in HubSpot using HubSpot's workflow engine and sequences tool. FlitStack AI uses NetHunt's REST API to extract records in structured JSON, transforms the data using a field-level mapping specification, and loads into HubSpot via the HubSpot CRM API or bulk import depending on record count. The migration plan is validated against a sample slice before the full run commits, with a delta-pickup window capturing any changes made during cutover.
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 NetHunt CRM 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.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt Folder
HubSpot
HubSpot Pipeline + Deal Stage
1:1NetHunt Folders containing Deals translate to HubSpot Pipelines. Each unique folder name in NetHunt becomes a named Pipeline in HubSpot. Deal Stages within the folder map to ordered Pipeline Stages with probability percentages that you specify — or we apply HubSpot defaults and flag deviations.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt Record (person-type)
HubSpot
HubSpot Contact
1:1NetHunt Records flagged as persons map to HubSpot Contacts. Email, name, phone, job title, address, and system-created timestamps transfer directly. Owner assignment resolves by matching NetHunt user email to HubSpot user email, creating an OwnerId link. Custom fields present on the record are also transferred as HubSpot custom properties on the Contact, preserving any pick-list values that require value mapping during the migration planning phase.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt Record (company-type)
HubSpot
HubSpot Company
1:1NetHunt Records flagged as organizations map to HubSpot Companies. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue transfer as standard Company properties. Linked person-type Records associate via Company-Contact relationships in HubSpot. If the organization record includes custom fields, those become HubSpot custom properties on the Company object, and any address or phone details also map to the corresponding HubSpot fields for a complete profile.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt Record (untyped)
HubSpot
HubSpot Contact
1:manyNetHunt Records without an explicit type flag split based on field presence: records with an email address but no company domain field route to HubSpot Contact; records with a domain but no personal email route to Company. Ambiguous records surface for your review before migration commits.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt Deal
HubSpot
HubSpot Deal
1:1NetHunt Deals map to HubSpot Deals with deal name, amount, close date, and stage inherited from the parent Folder's pipeline mapping. HubSpot Deal associations link to the resolved Company and Contact records. Owner resolves by email match. If NetHunt stores deal custom fields, those transfer to HubSpot custom properties on the Deal object, and any notes attached to the deal become HubSpot notes linked to the deal for full context.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt Deal Stage
HubSpot
HubSpot Deal Stage
1:1Stage names from NetHunt Folders map to HubSpot Pipeline Stage names value-by-value. Probability percentages transfer where NetHunt stores them; otherwise HubSpot defaults apply. You specify the stage order and closed-won/closed-lost designations during planning. If NetHunt stage names include custom labels, we build a value map that aligns each with the correct HubSpot stage, and any probability weights transfer to HubSpot's stage probability field for accurate forecasting.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt Comment
HubSpot
HubSpot Note
1:1NetHunt Comments on Records and Deals become HubSpot Notes attached to the corresponding Contact, Company, or Deal. Original comment text, author email, and created timestamp transfer. Rich-text formatting in NetHunt converts to HubSpot's note format. If a comment mentions other records or includes file attachments, those references are preserved as linked associations or attached files on the HubSpot note for complete context.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt File / Attachment
HubSpot
HubSpot File
1:1Files attached to NetHunt Records or Deals re-upload to HubSpot's file manager and attach to the corresponding CRM record. File names, sizes, and original upload dates are preserved. URL references in NetHunt that point to Gmail attachments download and rehost in HubSpot storage.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt User / Owner
HubSpot
HubSpot Owner
1:1NetHunt users map to HubSpot owners by email address. Unmatched NetHunt users are flagged before migration — your team either creates HubSpot users first or assigns records to a fallback owner. Owner names and email addresses transfer for audit continuity.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt Custom Field
HubSpot
HubSpot Custom Property
1:1NetHunt custom fields (visible in folder settings) create HubSpot custom properties on the appropriate object (Contact, Company, or Deal). Field type translates: text-to-text, number-to-number, date-to-date, pick-list-to-enumeration. Pick-list values requiring translation become value-mapping tasks. If a custom field uses dependent pick-lists or conditional logic in NetHunt, we document those dependencies in the mapping spec and propose equivalent HubSpot pick-list setups or fallback to text fields when no direct enumeration exists.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt Workflow
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflow (manual rebuild)
1:1NetHunt workflows and automation sequences do not migrate. They require rebuilding in HubSpot's workflow editor. FlitStack AI exports NetHunt workflow definitions as structured documentation (triggers, conditions, actions) that your HubSpot admin can use as a rebuild reference. This is disclosed upfront.
NetHunt CRM
NetHunt Record Link / Association
HubSpot
HubSpot Association
1:1NetHunt's record linking feature (connecting Records to other Records, or Records to Deals) translates to HubSpot's association model. Contact-to-Company uses the standard association. Record-to-Record links that represent relationships (e.g., referral partner) may need custom association types on HubSpot Enterprise. If your migration includes many-to-many relationships or hierarchical structures, FlitStack AI can pre-create the necessary association types in HubSpot Enterprise and map the corresponding NetHunt record links accordingly.

Migration approach
Discover NetHunt folder structure and record taxonomy
FlitStack AI connects to your NetHunt account via API and inventories every Folder, Record, Deal, Comment, and File. We identify ambiguous records (those without type flags), custom fields per folder, deal stage names, and owner assignments. This inventory generates a data-mapping specification that defines the folder-to-pipeline translation, record-type routing rules, and custom property creation list. You review and approve the mapping specification before any transformation logic runs.
Set up HubSpot pipelines and custom properties
Before data loads, your HubSpot admin (or FlitStack's implementation team) creates the Pipelines, Pipeline Stages, and custom properties needed for the migration. We deliver a HubSpot setup checklist based on the NetHunt folder inventory — including stage order, probability percentages, and lifecycle stage population strategy. Custom properties for original_create_date, source_system_id, and any transformed fields are created on the appropriate objects (Contact, Company, Deal) during this step.
Resolve owners by email and flag unmatched users
NetHunt user emails match against HubSpot user emails. Records, Deals, and Comments get assigned to HubSpot OwnerIds where matches exist. Unmatched NetHunt users are listed in the pre-migration report — your team either invites them to HubSpot first or designates a fallback owner. No record lands in HubSpot without a resolvable owner; this prevents orphaned records that would be invisible to your team after cutover.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records (typically 100–500) spanning multiple Folders, both contact and company types, Deals with varied stages, and Comments migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source NetHunt values against the landed HubSpot values — checking field-level accuracy, association integrity, and date preservation. You verify the output and approve for full migration. Any mapping corrections happen at this stage before the full dataset runs.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset migrates to HubSpot using the validated mapping. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures records created or modified in NetHunt during the cutover — your team keeps working in NetHunt while migration runs. FlitStack AI generates a reconciliation report comparing record counts, association completeness, and field-level coverage. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. Post-migration, we deliver an audit log of all operations and a handoff checklist for your HubSpot admin.
