Overview
Pipz organizes CRM data around a flat People model — every record is a contact regardless of where they sit in the customer journey, and there is no lifecycle stage concept natively. HubSpot splits records into Leads and Customers, using lifecycle_stage to gate marketing contact billing and drive reporting. When we migrate from Pipz to HubSpot, every People record lands as a HubSpot Contact; lifecycle assignment is derived from Pipz deal association and engagement data since Pipz does not natively tag records by lifecycle. Pipz Organizations migrate as HubSpot Companies, Deals migrate as HubSpot Deals with pipeline and stage values mapped per HubSpot's pipeline model, and Activities map to HubSpot Tasks, Calls, Meetings, and Notes with original timestamps and owners preserved. Pipz CEI scores migrate as HubSpot custom number fields (Customer_Engagement_Index__c) but must be recalculated post-migration because HubSpot calculates engagement differently. Pipz automation flows and workflows do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow engine. Pipz label/tag structures map to HubSpot Associations or custom properties, but complex N:N label models require manual design in HubSpot. Our migration pipeline extracts Pipz data via API, validates field mapping against HubSpot's schema, and loads in staged batches with delta-pickup capturing any records modified during cutover.
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 Pipz 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.
Pipz
People
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Pipz People maps directly to HubSpot Contacts. Every field on the Pipz People record — name, email, phone, job title, address — maps to the equivalent HubSpot contact property. Owner assignment resolves by email match against HubSpot users; unmatched owners are flagged before migration commits.
Pipz
People (engaged contacts)
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Pipz People records with active deal associations or recent engagement activity receive a HubSpot lifecycle_stage value of 'customer' post-migration. Pipz does not natively track lifecycle stage, so the assignment is derived from deal association and activity frequency — your team validates before go-live.
Pipz
Organizations
HubSpot
Company
1:1Pipz Organizations map to HubSpot Companies. Organization name, domain, industry, employee count, and revenue fields map directly. HubSpot's bidirectional contact-company association model replaces Pipz's simple Organization-Person link — we establish the primary association and surface secondary links for review. Additionally, we map address fields, city, state, country, and zip to HubSpot's company properties, and preserve original organization IDs as a custom property for traceability.
Pipz
Deals
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Pipz Deals migrate as HubSpot Deals with the same deal name, amount, and expected close date. The Pipz pipeline and stage names map to HubSpot pipeline and stage values, which your HubSpot admin defines before the migration run. Each Pipz deal associates to a Person and an Organization.
Pipz
Deals (multi-pipeline)
HubSpot
Deal (multiple pipelines)
1:1Pipz accounts with multiple deal pipelines require multiple HubSpot pipelines to be created before migration. Each Pipz pipeline becomes a distinct HubSpot pipeline with its own ordered stages. Stage sequence is preserved from Pipz; probability values are applied per HubSpot's stage model.
Pipz
Activities (Call, Email, Meeting, Task)
HubSpot
Call, Email, Meeting, Task
1:1Pipz Activities are split into HubSpot's activity types based on the activity kind field. Call activities map to HubSpot Calls, meeting activities to HubSpot Meetings, email activities to Emails, and generic task activities to Tasks. Original timestamps, owners, and parent record links (Person or Deal) are preserved on each activity.
Pipz
Notes
HubSpot
Note
1:1Pipz Notes migrate to HubSpot Notes with the same body text and creation timestamp. Notes attach to the parent Pipz Person or Deal record and link to the corresponding HubSpot Contact or Deal after migration. Rich-text formatting is preserved where Pipz supports it.
Pipz
Custom Fields (People, Organizations, Deals)
HubSpot
Contact, Company, Deal custom properties
1:1Pipz custom fields on People, Organizations, and Deals map to HubSpot custom contact, company, and deal properties. Pipz field types (text, number, date, picklist) map to HubSpot equivalents. Picklist fields require value-by-value mapping; we deliver a picklist mapping table as part of the migration plan.
Pipz
Customer Engagement Index (CEI)
HubSpot
Contact custom property (Customer_Engagement_Index__c)
1:1Pipz CEI is a proprietary composite engagement score stored on each People record. HubSpot has no native CEI equivalent. We migrate the CEI numeric value as a HubSpot custom number field (Customer_Engagement_Index__c). The score is historical — recalculation logic must be rebuilt in HubSpot using HubSpot's own engagement signals.
Pipz
Automation Flows
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflows
1:1Pipz automation flows (drag-and-drop builder) have no HubSpot equivalent that can be migrated directly. We export flow definitions as a structured reference document listing triggers, conditions, and actions so your HubSpot admin can rebuild them. This export is delivered before the migration run.

Migration approach
Extract and audit Pipz data before mapping
We pull a full export from Pipz via API covering People, Organizations, Deals, Activities, Notes, and all custom field definitions. This export is audited for duplicate records, missing required fields, orphaned relationships (People without an Organization), and field-type inconsistencies. We deliver a data quality report before mapping begins so your team can decide how to handle dirty records — clean before migration or clean in HubSpot post-migration. The Pipz automation flow definitions are exported separately as a rebuild reference document for your HubSpot admin.
Build HubSpot schema — pipelines, custom properties, and lifecycle configuration
Before data moves, your HubSpot admin (or our team) creates the pipelines, stage configurations, and custom properties required for the migration. We deliver a HubSpot setup plan that maps each Pipz pipeline to a HubSpot pipeline, specifies stage order and probability, and lists every custom property to create with its type and picklist values. Lifecycle stage defaults are configured for review. This plan is reviewed and signed off before any data is loaded — preventing the most common migration failure where records land before the target schema is ready.
Match Pipz owners to HubSpot users by email
Pipz owner assignments are resolved by matching the owner email address against HubSpot user accounts. Any Pipz owner whose email does not correspond to a HubSpot user is flagged in the pre-migration report — your team either invites them to HubSpot first or designates a fallback owner for their records. No record migrates without a resolved HubSpot owner. This step also surfaces any Pipz users who have left the company and whose records should be reassigned rather than migrated with their old owner link.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff before full commit
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records spanning People, Organizations, Deals, and Activities — migrates to a HubSpot staging portal first. We generate a field-level diff showing every source field value and its destination counterpart. Your team reviews lifecycle stage assignments, CEI score migration, pipeline-to-pipeline mapping, and owner resolution before the full run is authorized. Sample migration findings may trigger schema adjustments in HubSpot before the full dataset commits.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback option
The full dataset loads into HubSpot using staged batches. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after the initial load) captures any Pipz records created or modified during the cutover — your team keeps working in Pipz throughout this window. Every migration operation is logged in an audit trail. If reconciliation identifies missing records or data integrity issues, one-click rollback reverts the HubSpot portal to its pre-migration state while the issue is diagnosed and the run is re-executed.
