Overview
OctopusPro organizes field service data around Jobs, Customers, Quotes, Invoices, and Staff — a model optimized for dispatch, scheduling, and on-site operations. HubSpot organizes the same business concepts around Contacts, Companies, Deals, and custom Objects — a model optimized for revenue tracking, lifecycle management, and marketing automation. The migration maps OctopusPro customers to HubSpot Contacts and Companies (with primary company assignment), OctopusPro bookings to HubSpot Deals (using custom properties for job-specific fields like technician assignment and service type), and OctopusPro quotes to Deal records with line-item data preserved as custom properties. Staff records map to HubSpot Users resolved by email match. Invoices and payments become Deal-level activity records. Custom fields created in OctopusPro are recreated as HubSpot custom properties under Settings > Properties. FlitStack uses the OctopusPro API to extract all objects in sequence — contacts first, then companies, then jobs — and loads them into HubSpot via the CRM API with field-level validation before final commit. Workflows, automations, and scheduling rules do not migrate; we export their definitions as a rebuild reference for your HubSpot admin.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a OctopusPro 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.
OctopusPro
Customer
HubSpot
Contact + Company
1:1OctopusPro customers map to HubSpot Contacts with a primary Company (Account) assigned. OctopusPro permits customers without a linked company, which become HubSpot Contacts lacking an AccountId. Multi-company associations in OctopusPro translate to Account Contact Relationships in HubSpot, preserving the full network of company connections. When a customer has multiple company links, FlitStack designates the most recently modified association as the primary AccountId and creates additional relationship records for the secondary company links. This preserves relationship data while conforming to HubSpot's contact-account structure. Teams requiring simultaneous multi-company visibility should discuss custom mapping options with FlitStack before migration begins.
OctopusPro
Customer Custom Fields
HubSpot
Contact Custom Properties
1:1OctopusPro custom profile fields (text, numeric, file upload, date types) are recreated as HubSpot Contact properties under Settings > Properties. File attachments migrate as URLs stored in a text property pointing to re-hosted files. All property data types are preserved during migration.
OctopusPro
Booking (Job)
HubSpot
Deal
1:1OctopusPro bookings map to HubSpot Deals with the service name as Deal Name, total job value as Amount, and scheduled date as CloseDate. Booking status (Pending, Confirmed, In Progress, Completed, Cancelled) translates to HubSpot pipeline stage values via value mapping. Technician assignment becomes a custom Contact property or Deal property depending on your chosen model.
OctopusPro
Booking Status
HubSpot
Deal Stage (Pipeline Stage)
1:1OctopusPro booking statuses are mapped value-by-value to HubSpot pipeline stages. 'Pending' maps to an early stage, 'Confirmed' to a scheduling stage, 'In Progress' to an active stage, 'Completed' to a closed-won stage, and 'Cancelled' to a closed-lost stage. FlitStack surfaces the mapping plan before migration runs.
OctopusPro
Booking Custom Fields
HubSpot
Deal Custom Properties
1:1Job-specific OctopusPro custom fields (e.g., equipment used, job photos, site conditions) are recreated as HubSpot Deal custom properties. Photos and attachments are re-hosted and links stored as text properties on the Deal record for reference by the sales or service team.
OctopusPro
Quote / Estimate
HubSpot
Deal + Custom Properties
1:1OctopusPro quotes map to HubSpot Deals using the estimate name as Deal Name and the quoted value as Amount. Line items are stored as a JSON-formatted custom property or as Deal notes. Quote status (Draft, Sent, Accepted, Rejected) translates to Deal stage mapping or a custom pick-list field on the Deal.
OctopusPro
Invoice
HubSpot
Deal (custom object for invoices)
1:1HubSpot has no native invoice object. OctopusPro invoices are preserved as a custom object (Invoice) in HubSpot Enterprise, linked to the originating Deal via a lookup relationship. For non-Enterprise tiers, invoice data is stored as Deal-level custom properties and notes — your HubSpot admin decides on the final schema.
OctopusPro
Payment
HubSpot
Deal Activity / Note
1:1OctopusPro payment records map to HubSpot as Notes on the associated Deal, capturing payment amount, date, and method. HubSpot's native payments integration (Payments Hub) can be connected post-migration to capture new payments directly within the CRM, but historical payments are reference records only.
OctopusPro
Staff / Fieldworker
HubSpot
HubSpot User
1:1OctopusPro staff records are matched to HubSpot Users by email address. If a HubSpot User does not exist for a staff member, FlitStack flags the record before migration — your team can create the User in HubSpot first or assign the staff member's bookings to a fallback owner. Unmatched staff are preserved as a custom Contact property for reference.
OctopusPro
Service
HubSpot
HubSpot Product
1:1OctopusPro service definitions (name, description, price, duration) map directly to HubSpot Products. Products can be linked to Deals as line items, enabling revenue tracking by service type in HubSpot reporting. Service categories in OctopusPro map to Product families or custom properties on the Product record.
OctopusPro
Form / Checklist
HubSpot
HubSpot Form + Custom Properties
1:1OctopusPro forms and checklists attached to bookings have no direct HubSpot equivalent. FlitStack exports form responses as a JSON-formatted custom property on the associated Deal. For ongoing form capture, HubSpot Forms or Operations Hub workflows can replicate the intake logic post-migration.
OctopusPro
Automations / Workflow Rules
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflows (Automation Hub)
1:1OctopusPro automations (booking confirmations, reminder sequences, no-show fee triggers) do not migrate. FlitStack exports the automation definitions as a structured reference document so your HubSpot admin can rebuild equivalent workflows in Automation Hub or Sales Hub workflows after migration completes.

Migration approach
Discover OctopusPro schema and build the migration mapping plan
FlitStack connects to your OctopusPro account via API using scoped read access and enumerates all customers, bookings, quotes, invoices, staff, and services. We identify custom profile fields on each object, booking status values, and service types. A migration mapping plan is generated showing every field mapping, value mapping, and custom property creation required. You review and approve the plan before any data moves.
Create HubSpot properties, pipelines, and custom objects
Before data loads, your HubSpot admin (or FlitStack on your behalf) creates the custom properties, pipeline stages, and custom objects required by the mapping plan. Booking statuses are pre-configured as pipeline stages. OctopusPro custom fields are created as HubSpot custom properties on Contact, Company, and Deal objects. If you are on HubSpot Enterprise and want a dedicated Invoice custom object, we scaffold that schema at this stage.
Resolve staff to HubSpot users by email and load records in dependency order
OctopusPro staff records are matched to HubSpot Users by email. Any staff without a corresponding HubSpot User are flagged — your team creates the User or assigns those bookings to a fallback owner. Data loads in dependency order: Companies first (for AccountId), then Contacts (with Account lookups resolved), then Deals (with Contact and Owner lookups resolved), then activity records and invoices. This sequence ensures referential integrity throughout the migration.
Run sample migration with field-level diff before full commit
A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 spanning contacts, companies, bookings, quotes, and a few invoices — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff showing source values against destination field values, confirming booking status mapping, custom property population, and technician-to-user resolution. You verify the sample in HubSpot before the full migration run commits. This step catches mapping errors early, so your team can request adjustments to the mapping plan before the complete dataset moves. The sample validation typically takes 2–4 hours and is included in the overall migration timeline.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
The full dataset migrates from OctopusPro to HubSpot. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in OctopusPro during the cutover so HubSpot reflects the final state at go-live. Every migration operation is logged in FlitStack's audit trail. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails — the rollback restores HubSpot to its pre-migration state without affecting your live OctopusPro account.
