Overview
Pega Sales Automation and HubSpot CRM take fundamentally different approaches to sales data architecture. Pega models the sales process as a case-work framework with operator-based assignments, decisioning rules, and next-best-action guidance layered on top of entity records. HubSpot uses a lightweight object graph — Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tickets — where lifecycle stage and deal pipeline stage are the primary progression signals. FlitStack AI migrates all Pega standard entities (Contacts, Organizations, Opportunities, Tasks, Cases) into their HubSpot equivalents while preserving original create and modify timestamps and resolving Pega operators to HubSpot owners by email match. Pega's automation rules, AI-driven next-best-action configurations, and decisioning logic have no HubSpot equivalent and must be rebuilt manually post-migration. We extract Pega data via its entity export APIs and deliver HubSpot-compatible imports, then run a delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) to capture any records modified during the cutover before final synchronization. Sample migration with field-level diff runs first so you can verify the mapping before the full commit.
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 Pega Sales Automation 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.
Pega Sales Automation
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Pega contacts migrate to HubSpot contacts with first name, last name, email, phone, job title, and address fields preserved directly. The Pega contact's pyStatusWork and operator assignment fields are not HubSpot-native and require custom field creation or manual reassignment in HubSpot post-migration.
Pega Sales Automation
Organization
HubSpot
Company
1:1Pega Organizations map directly to HubSpot Companies. Pega parent-child hierarchy (pyOrganizations parent field) maps to HubSpot's Parent Company lookup. Organizations with multiple contacts in Pega become a single Company in HubSpot with N contacts associated. Circular organization references are flagged before migration commits.
Pega Sales Automation
Opportunity
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Pega Opportunities with pyAmount, pyProbability, pySalesStage, and close date map directly to HubSpot Deals. The Pega opportunity name becomes the HubSpot deal name. Deal owner resolves via email match from Pega operator to HubSpot user. Pega's AI-driven next-best-action guidance does not transfer — that context is lost and must be rebuilt manually.
Pega Sales Automation
Task
HubSpot
Task
1:1Pega Tasks (assignments with subject, status, and due date) map to HubSpot Tasks with Subject, Status, and HubSpot owner resolved by email. Pega's operator assignment (pxAssignedOperator) resolves by email match to HubSpot owner. Task create and modify timestamps are preserved as custom datetime fields in HubSpot.
Pega Sales Automation
Case (pyCase)
HubSpot
Ticket
1:1Pega Cases map to HubSpot Tickets with Pega's pyCategory, pyStatusWork, and pyUrgencyAssign maps to HubSpot's ticket status, priority, and source fields. Pega case resolution notes (pyResolution) map to HubSpot ticket body or a custom text field. Pega case ID preserved as a custom field for traceability.
Pega Sales Automation
Custom Property (Pega field)
HubSpot
Custom Property (HubSpot property)
1:1Pega custom properties (fields added beyond the standard entity schema) require HubSpot custom property creation before data lands. Pega text, number, date, and pick-list property types map to HubSpot's equivalent types. We deliver a custom property creation plan as part of the pre-migration schema setup so HubSpot is ready before validation runs.
Pega Sales Automation
Opportunity Contact Association
HubSpot
Deal-Contact Association
1:1Pega opportunity-to-contact associations migrate as HubSpot deal-to-contact associations. The primary contact on the Pega Opportunity becomes the primary association in HubSpot. Additional contacts on the opportunity link to the same deal in HubSpot via the deal-contact association model. If multiple contacts share the same role on the opportunity, each receives its own association entry, preserving role information as a custom property on the association when available.
Pega Sales Automation
Attachment / File
HubSpot
HubSpot Files
1:1Pega file attachments on contacts, organizations, opportunities, and cases are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files, re-associated with the target record. File size limits apply per HubSpot's 25MB per-file default. Inline images in case notes are extracted and rehosted as HubSpot file attachments.
Pega Sales Automation
Pega Operator / User
HubSpot
HubSpot Owner (User)
1:1Pega operators (pxAssignedOperator, pyModifiedBy, pxCreateOperator) resolve to HubSpot owners by email match. Unmatched operators are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to HubSpot first or assigns their records to a fallback owner. Historical operator attribution is preserved as a custom field for audit purposes.
Pega Sales Automation
Pega AI / Next-Best-Action
HubSpot
No Equivalent
1:1Pega's next-best-action guidance, AI coaching agents, and decisioning rules are AI-platform constructs that live in Pega's Customer Decision Hub. HubSpot has no equivalent — these must be redesigned from scratch in HubSpot's workflow tools or Breeze AI features. We document the Pega rule structure as a reference for your HubSpot admin.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Pega data model and prepare HubSpot schema
We extract Pega entity schemas to identify all standard and custom properties across Contacts, Organizations, Opportunities, Tasks, and Cases. We cross-reference against HubSpot's property model to flag gaps. Your HubSpot admin (or our team) creates the missing custom properties, ticket pipelines, and deal stages before migration data lands. We deliver a HubSpot schema setup checklist based on the audit pre-migration.
Resolve Pega operators to HubSpot owners by email
We extract all Pega operator records and match them against HubSpot users by email address. Any unmatched operators are flagged in a pre-migration report. Your team either invites those operators to HubSpot or assigns them to a fallback owner before migration runs. No record lands in HubSpot without an owner assignment. The fallback owner can be a dedicated HubSpot team or senior user designated to receive orphaned records, ensuring no deal or case is left unassigned. All operator IDs are logged in the migration audit for post-migration reconciliation.
Sequence entity migration respecting foreign-key dependencies
Pega entity relationships follow an import order: Organizations must land before Contacts (via Organization lookup), and Contacts before Opportunities (via contact-opportunity associations). Tasks and Cases follow. We sequence the migration to resolve foreign keys correctly — if a referenced record hasn't landed yet, the child record waits in queue. Circular Organization references are flagged for your team to resolve before that branch commits.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, tasks, and cases — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff between the Pega source values and the HubSpot destination values so you can verify operator resolution, case property mapping, dealstage value mapping, and owner assignment before the full run. You approve the sample before we commit the full migration.
Cut over with delta-pickup for in-flight records
Full migration runs against your HubSpot instance. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after initial cutover) captures any Pega records created or modified during the migration window. All operations are logged in an audit trail, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. After delta-pickup completes, your HubSpot instance reflects Pega's final state at go-live. We also run a final record-count verification and field-level completeness check after delta-pickup, and provide a migration summary report that highlights any records that could not be imported and the resolution steps taken.
