Overview
Ontraport and HubSpot take fundamentally different approaches to customer data architecture. Ontraport combines CRM, marketing automation, product/order management, and membership tracking in one unified system — using Contacts, Companies, Deals, Products, Orders, Tags, and Custom Objects with a flexible association model. HubSpot separates CRM (Contacts, Companies, Deals as Opportunities) from marketing (Lists, Workflows) and handles product/order data as Line Items and custom objects. FlitStack AI migrates all standard Ontraport objects — contacts with every standard and custom property, companies with parent-child hierarchies, deals with pipeline stage mapping, product catalog, order records, and membership or course data as HubSpot custom objects. Ontraport sequences, rules, and automation triggers do not migrate — those must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder and we provide a rebuild reference document. We extract via the Ontraport API and load via HubSpot's API, supporting bulk test migrations with field-level diff validation before full cutover. Throughout the migration, we maintain referential integrity by processing records in dependency order — companies before contacts, contacts before deals — and preserving all original timestamps and owner assignments.
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 Ontraport 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.
Ontraport
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Ontraport contacts map directly to HubSpot contacts. Every standard contact property (name, email, phone, address, job title) has a HubSpot equivalent. Custom contact properties migrate as HubSpot custom properties. The Ontraport contact-to-company association links to HubSpot's primary company via company_id.
Ontraport
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Ontraport companies map directly to HubSpot companies. Standard fields (name, domain, address, industry, employee count) map to HubSpot's company properties. Ontraport parent-child company hierarchies map to HubSpot's parent company field using ID-based references. Multi-company contact associations surface as HubSpot Account Contact Relationships, preserving the N:N association flexibility from Ontraport's data model.
Ontraport
Deal
HubSpot
Deal (Opportunity)
1:1Ontraport deals map to HubSpot deals (internally called Opportunities). Deal name, amount, close date, and stage map to HubSpot deal properties. Ontraport pipeline stages map to HubSpot deal pipeline stages via value mapping — each Ontraport stage name gets mapped to the corresponding HubSpot stage in the configured pipeline.
Ontraport
Pipeline
HubSpot
Deal Pipeline
1:1Ontraport deal pipelines map directly to HubSpot deal pipelines. Each Ontraport pipeline becomes a named HubSpot deal pipeline with its own stage definitions. If Ontraport has multiple pipelines (e.g., one for product sales, one for services), HubSpot creates corresponding pipelines so deal records land in the correct workflow context.
Ontraport
Product
HubSpot
Product + Line Item
1:1Ontraport products map to HubSpot products with a nuance: Ontraport product pricing includes per-unit price, setup fee, and recurring amounts. HubSpot products store price and have Line Items that attach quantity and discounts to deal records. We map Ontraport product price to HubSpot product price and create Line Items per deal-product association.
Ontraport
Order / Invoice
HubSpot
Custom Object (Order)
1:1HubSpot has no native order or invoice object. Ontraport order records (with status, total, payment method, fulfillment info) migrate as a HubSpot custom object named 'Order.' The custom object links to the contact who placed the order and includes all order line items as JSON or as separate custom object records.
Ontraport
Tag
HubSpot
Custom Property (multi-select) + Lists
1:1Ontraport tags are flat label strings applied to contacts. In HubSpot, tags migrate as a multi-select custom property on the contact record, preserving the original tag names. For segmentation, HubSpot Lists (static or dynamic) can be created post-migration based on tag values — this requires manual list-building in HubSpot's UI or via workflow.
Ontraport
Activity (Email, Call, Note)
HubSpot
Engagement Timeline
1:1Ontraport email logs, call records, and notes attach to contacts with timestamps and owner information. These map to HubSpot's engagement timeline (email, call, meeting, note). Original timestamps and owners are preserved. Ontraport bulk email campaign sends do not map to HubSpot marketing emails — those are a separate system.
Ontraport
Membership / Course Enrollment
HubSpot
Custom Object (Membership / Course)
1:1Ontraport membership and course enrollment records have no HubSpot native equivalent. These migrate as HubSpot custom objects that link to the contact record, storing enrollment date, product name, access level, and expiration. Enterprise-tier HubSpot with Operations Hub is required for custom objects.
Ontraport
Custom Object (user-defined)
HubSpot
Custom Object
1:1Ontraport user-defined custom objects map 1:1 to HubSpot custom objects. The custom object name and all custom fields migrate with type-aware mapping (text, number, date, pick-list). Custom object associations in Ontraport that use N:N relationships need HubSpot junction objects — this is surfaced in the pre-migration plan.
Ontraport
Form Submission
HubSpot
Form Submission (via Contact property)
1:1Ontraport form submission records containing field values and submission timestamps attach to contacts and can be mapped to HubSpot contact properties. We capture the form name, submission date, and field responses as custom text properties or consolidated JSON on the contact record, ensuring historical form data remains accessible for reporting and follow-up workflows.
Ontraport
Owner / User
HubSpot
User
1:1Ontraport owners (users assigned to contacts, companies, and deals) are resolved in HubSpot by email match. If an Ontraport owner email matches a HubSpot user email, records assign to that user. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to HubSpot first or assigns their records to a fallback owner.

Migration approach
Audit Ontraport data inventory and document field map
FlitStack AI connects to your Ontraport account via API and inventories every object type: contacts, companies, deals, products, orders, memberships, custom objects, and tags. We generate a field inventory document listing every Ontraport property name, data type, and sample values. This becomes the basis for the HubSpot field map. We also identify which Ontraport objects have no native HubSpot equivalent (orders, memberships) so the HubSpot admin can create custom objects before migration begins.
Configure HubSpot schema and custom objects
Based on the field inventory, your HubSpot admin (or our team) creates the custom properties, deal pipelines, and custom objects needed in HubSpot. For orders and memberships, the Enterprise-tier Operations Hub custom object schema is created first. Deal pipelines are configured to match Ontraport pipeline names and stage values. Tags are set up as a multi-select custom property. Owner mapping is prepared by matching Ontraport owner emails to HubSpot user emails.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample (typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, products, and orders) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values so you can verify that pick-list values mapped correctly, timestamps preserved accurately, owner resolution worked, and custom object associations linked to the right contact records. You sign off on the sample before the full migration commits.
Execute full migration and delta pickup
All Ontraport records migrate via API in the correct dependency order: companies first (for lookup integrity), then contacts, then deals with pipeline mapping, then products, then orders and memberships as custom objects. Original create dates and modification timestamps are preserved as custom fields. After the initial migration window, a delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Ontraport during the cutover period. Audit logs document every operation.
Validate record counts and spot-check field accuracy
Post-migration, FlitStack AI validates record counts between Ontraport and HubSpot for each object type. You spot-check specific records to verify owner assignments, company associations, deal stage values, order totals, and membership enrollment dates. Any discrepancies are corrected before go-live. We deliver a migration summary report and an Ontraport sequence export document your team uses to rebuild automations in HubSpot workflows.
