Overview
Netmera is an AI-powered customer engagement platform built around user profiles, behavioral events, segments, and omnichannel campaign execution — push notifications, in-app messaging, and cross-channel orchestration. It is not a traditional CRM with contacts, accounts, and opportunities. HubSpot organizes data around contacts, companies, deals, and tickets with a property-based data model using snake_case naming. The migration must translate Netmera's event-and-profile model into HubSpot's object-and-property structure: user profiles map to contacts, Netmera events (page views, push opens, campaign clicks) map to HubSpot engagement activities (calls, emails, meetings, notes) with original timestamps and owners preserved, and segments map to HubSpot lists or custom multi-checkbox properties. Custom attributes that Netmera stores on user profiles — device type, push token, app version, custom event properties — become HubSpot custom contact properties. HubSpot workflows, campaign automations, and journey orchestrations do not migrate; they must be rebuilt using HubSpot's workflow builder and the migrated engagement data as triggers. FlitStack sequences the migration so foreign-key relationships resolve correctly: companies first, then contacts, then engagement history — using HubSpot's Contacts API and bulk import tools to handle large datasets efficiently.
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 Netmera 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.
Netmera
User Profile
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Netmera user profiles map directly to HubSpot contacts. Each profile becomes one contact record. Custom attributes stored on the profile (device type, app version, push token) become HubSpot custom contact properties. The contact's email address is the primary identifier — profiles without emails are flagged for manual resolution before the migration runs.
Netmera
User Profile (anonymous or cookie-based)
HubSpot
Contact (with anonymous flag)
1:1Netmera tracks anonymous users via device fingerprinting. These profiles lack email addresses. We migrate them as HubSpot contacts with a custom Is_Anonymous__c property set to true and store the device ID as Source_Device_ID__c. When the user provides an email, the records can be merged or linked manually post-migration.
Netmera
Company / Organization
HubSpot
Company
1:1Netmera organizations that contain user profiles map to HubSpot companies. If Netmera stores a company name on the user profile, it becomes the Company record name. Multi-company associations (one user linked to multiple organizations in Netmera) map to HubSpot's Company associations or are stored as a custom property on the contact.
Netmera
Segment
HubSpot
List or Custom Multi-Checkbox Property
1:1Netmera segments are rule-based. We export the segment membership list and map it to a HubSpot static list named after the segment. For active segments that drive ongoing targeting, we create a custom multi-checkbox property on the contact so the segment membership is visible in the contact record and usable in HubSpot workflows and reports.
Netmera
Behavioral Event (page view, push open, campaign click)
HubSpot
Call / Email / Meeting / Note (engagement)
1:1Netmera events are mapped to HubSpot engagement records by event category. Push notification opens become HubSpot Call activities with a custom event_type property. Campaign clicks and page views become Note records with a custom event_name property, original timestamp, and owner preserved. The original Netmera event data is stored as a JSON blob in a custom property for auditability.
Netmera
Custom Attribute on User Profile
HubSpot
Custom Contact Property
1:1Netmera custom attributes (strings, numbers, dates, booleans) that are not HubSpot native properties require custom field creation in HubSpot. We create the property with the appropriate type (string, number, date, checkbox, picklist) and map values during migration. Attribute names are preserved as labels; the property name uses HubSpot's snake_case convention.
Netmera
Push Token
HubSpot
Custom Contact Property (push_token)
1:1Netmera stores APNs and FCM push tokens per device on the user profile. HubSpot has no native push token storage. We migrate the token as a custom string property (Push_Token__c) and optionally a multi-line text property for multi-device tokens. Push notification delivery requires a separate mobile engagement tool post-migration.
Netmera
Campaign
HubSpot
Custom Property or Campaign Member
1:1Netmera push and in-app campaigns have performance data (send count, open rate, click rate) that does not map to any native HubSpot object. We preserve campaign metadata as custom properties on the associated contacts or as a custom object (Netmera_Campaign__c) so historical campaign performance is available for reporting after migration.
Netmera
Journey / Automation
HubSpot
Not migrated — must be rebuilt in HubSpot
1:1Netmera journey orchestrations and campaign automations are not transferable. The journey definition, trigger rules, and action steps must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder using the migrated engagement data as new triggers. We export journey definitions as a reference document for your HubSpot admin.
Netmera
Activity Log (all event types)
HubSpot
Note or Custom Activity Object
1:1Netmera aggregates all user interactions in an activity log per profile. We extract the log entries and write them as Note records in HubSpot with the event type as the subject, original timestamp, and a JSON body containing the full event payload. For high-volume event logs, we use a custom activity object to avoid hitting HubSpot's note volume limits.

Migration approach
Audit Netmera data structure and export user profiles, events, and segments
FlitStack begins by running a data audit against your Netmera instance via the API and platform export tools. We extract all user profiles with custom attributes, behavioral event logs per profile, segment membership lists, and campaign metadata. The audit produces a field inventory, record counts per object type, and a data quality report flagging anonymous-only profiles, duplicate emails, and malformed attributes before migration design begins.
Design HubSpot schema: custom properties, lists, and custom objects
Based on the audit, FlitStack designs the HubSpot destination schema. We create custom contact properties for every Netmera custom attribute that has no native HubSpot equivalent (push tokens, device type, app version, session count, etc.). We design a custom Netmera_Campaign__c object for campaign performance data and define the HubSpot static lists that correspond to Netmera segments. All property types are matched (string, number, date, checkbox, picklist) to prevent type errors during import.
Resolve owner and user email matching for engagement records
Netmera events carry owner or last-modified-by information. FlitStack resolves Netmera owner IDs to HubSpot user emails by matching against your HubSpot user list. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either creates HubSpot user accounts for them or assigns their records to a fallback owner. No engagement record lands in HubSpot without an assigned owner. This step ensures that every engagement record is traceable to a responsible user in HubSpot.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of Netmera data — typically 100–500 user profiles spanning multiple segments and event types — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Netmera values to destination HubSpot values so you can verify custom property mapping, segment-to-list mapping, and engagement record formatting before the full run commits. This sample run validates the mapping logic and reduces risk before the full dataset is committed.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and rollback plan
The full migration runs against HubSpot's Contacts API and bulk import tools. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any new user profiles, event records, or segment changes made in Netmera during cutover. The audit log records every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails — the full Netmera export is preserved so HubSpot can be reverted and the migration re-run with corrected mapping.
