Overview
Nurture is a wedding-venue-focused CRM that manages contacts, companies (venues), deals (bookings), and custom properties for wedding-specific fields such as guest counts, package tiers, and event styles. HubSpot employs the same core objects—Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Custom Properties—but uses camelCase naming, requires a mandatory lifecycle_stage property, and implements association labels differently from Nurture's booking associations. Our migration process extracts contacts, companies, deals, activity history, and custom properties, then loads them into HubSpot via the Bulk API for large batches and the CRM API for complex associations. We generate value-mapping tables for pick-list fields, type-check date and number properties, and preserve original create dates as custom datetime fields because HubSpot sets CreatedDate at import time. Owner resolution matches Nurture owner email addresses to HubSpot user emails; any owners without a HubSpot counterpart are flagged before the migration commits, ensuring every record retains an owner. Workflows, email templates, and booking automations do not transfer; we export them as rebuild references for your HubSpot admin. A delta-pickup window captures changes made during cutover, and a one‑click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals discrepancies.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Nurture 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.
Nurture
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Direct map. Nurture contacts migrate to HubSpot contacts preserving original email, phone, name, and address fields. Owner resolution matches Nurture owner email to HubSpot user email; any unmatched owners are flagged for your team. Contacts without a primary venue are linked to a default HubSpot company, preventing orphan records in reports.
Nurture
Venue (Company)
HubSpot
Company
1:1Nurture venues migrate to HubSpot companies, preserving venue name, address, capacity, and style as company properties. Any venue‑specific contacts (e.g., venue manager) are imported as associated company contacts. If Nurture contains parent‑child venue relationships, we replicate the hierarchy using HubSpot’s Parent Company field, and any circular references are flagged before migration. This ensures multi‑location venue groups appear correctly in HubSpot reporting.
Nurture
Booking (Deal)
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Nurture bookings map to HubSpot deals. Booking status (inquiry, proposal, booked) maps to HubSpot deal stage. Package tier, guest count, event date, and venue association migrate as deal properties and company association. Won deals represent confirmed bookings; lost deals represent declined inquiries.
Nurture
Task
HubSpot
Task
1:1Nurture tasks are imported as HubSpot tasks, preserving the original due date, task description, and owner assignment. We also store the original create timestamp as a custom datetime field. If a Nurture task references an owner without a HubSpot account, the task is flagged for your team to assign a fallback owner before migration. Task status (open, completed) maps directly to HubSpot’s task state, preserving the original open/closed workflow.
Nurture
Note
HubSpot
Note
1:1Nurture notes are imported as HubSpot notes and attached to the parent contact, company, or deal record using HubSpot’s association API. Original note body, timestamps, and owner information are preserved, and rich‑text formatting (bold, bullets, links) is retained where supported. If a note contains embedded images, we store the media URL as a custom field and link it to the note. This keeps your historical client communications searchable and intact.
Nurture
Custom Property: wedding_date
HubSpot
Custom Property: weddingDate
1:1Nurture date fields such as wedding_date migrate to HubSpot date properties, stored in ISO 8601 format (YYYY‑MM‑DD). The date property is attached to the deal record, enabling timeline filtering and reporting by event date. During the planning audit we verify that all Nurture date fields are correctly typed as dates in HubSpot, preventing accidental mapping to text properties.
Nurture
Custom Property: guest_count
HubSpot
Custom Property: guestCount
1:1Nurture numeric properties such as guest_count migrate directly to HubSpot number properties on the deal record. We validate that values contain only digits; any that include text are cleaned or stored as a custom text field after your approval. The number property is then available for filtering, sorting, and calculations in HubSpot’s pipeline and reporting views, preserving the original guest count data without transformation.
Nurture
Custom Property: package_tier
HubSpot
Custom Property: packageTier
1:1Nurture pick‑list values for package_tier are mapped value‑by‑value to HubSpot option sets. We generate a mapping table pairing each Nurture label with the corresponding HubSpot option, and your HubSpot admin approves it before migration. If a Nurture option does not exist in HubSpot, we create it in the appropriate option set, ensuring consistent package tier data in filters and reports.
Nurture
Custom Property: booking_status
HubSpot
Deal Stage
1:1Nurture booking_status pick‑list values map to HubSpot deal stage values via a documented value‑mapping table. Typically, inquiry, consultation, and proposal map to early pipeline stages, booked maps to Closed Won, and lost inquiries map to Closed Lost. Stage‑change timestamps are preserved as custom datetime fields, so you can view when each status transition occurred in HubSpot’s timeline.
Nurture
Email Activity
HubSpot
Email (Engagement)
1:1Nurture email activities are imported as HubSpot email engagements, preserving the original timestamp, subject, body, and any attachment URLs. Each email is linked to its primary contact, and if the message references a company or deal, those associations are created as well. We map the engagement type to HubSpot’s email format so the messages appear correctly in the contact timeline. This keeps your historical email communication searchable and intact.
Nurture
Sequence/Automation
HubSpot
Workflow (to rebuild)
1:1Nurture sequences and inquiry‑to‑booking automations are configuration objects that have no direct counterpart in HubSpot, so they do not migrate. We export every Nurture workflow definition—including triggers, conditions, step order, time delays, and email content—as a structured reference document. Your HubSpot admin can use that document to recreate equivalent automation in HubSpot’s Workflows tool, Sales Hub Sequences, or other automation features.
Nurture
Owner/User
HubSpot
HubSpot User
1:1Nurture owner records resolve by email match to HubSpot users. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to HubSpot first or assigns their records to a fallback HubSpot owner. No record lands without an owner.

Migration approach
Audit Nurture data model and custom properties
Before any data moves, we export a complete inventory of Nurture objects, standard fields, custom properties, and pick‑list option values. We also capture owner records, activity histories, and any existing venue‑company hierarchies. The audit identifies booking_status value‑mapping needs, custom‑property type mismatches (e.g., date vs. text, number vs. pick‑list), and multi‑level venue relationships. The result is a set of field‑mapping tables and value‑mapping tables delivered as a structured spreadsheet, plus a written summary of data‑quality observations. This documentation governs every subsequent step of the migration and is reviewed with you before extraction begins.
Resolve owners by email match to HubSpot users
Nurture owner records are matched to HubSpot users by email address, preserving the original owner name as a custom field when no HubSpot user exists. Any owner without a HubSpot account is flagged in a pre‑migration report; your team can then invite those users or assign their records to a fallback owner such as a generic admin. This ensures every contact, deal, and activity retains an owner from day one, keeping attribution and task assignments consistent. We also verify that matched owners have the necessary portal permissions to view and edit the imported records.
Migrate venues (companies) before bookings (deals)
HubSpot requires companies to exist before deals can be associated to them, because deals link to a companyId. We migrate venues first, loading them as HubSpot companies while preserving original create dates, venue style, and address fields. If Nurture includes parent‑company relationships among venues, we rebuild that hierarchy in HubSpot’s Parent Company field. Venue‑specific contacts are imported alongside the company record. Once all venues are in place, we import bookings as deals, automatically linking each deal to its venue company so deal‑venue reporting appears correctly from day one.
Run a sample migration with field-level verification
Before the full data move, we run a representative sample—typically 100‑500 records covering contacts, venues, bookings, and tasks—through the migration pipeline using the same field‑mapping, value‑mapping, and association logic that will be applied to the entire dataset. We generate a field‑level diff report comparing each source value with the resulting HubSpot value, highlighting discrepancies in booking‑status mapping, date formatting, custom‑property types, and owner resolution. You review the report, confirm the mappings, and sign off before we proceed with the full migration. This step catches issues early and minimizes the chance of a large‑scale rollback.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration loads all records—contacts, companies, deals, tasks, notes, and custom‑property data—into your HubSpot portal using the Bulk API for large batches and the CRM API for complex associations. During the cut‑over period we keep a delta‑capture window of 24‑48 hours, pulling any new or modified records from Nurture before the final switch‑over. Every API call is recorded in an exportable audit log for compliance and troubleshooting. If post‑migration reconciliation reveals unexpected discrepancies, we can execute a one‑click rollback that reverts the portal to its pre‑migration state, minimizing downtime and data risk.
