Overview
Plumb5 is a customer intelligence and marketing automation platform built around unified customer profiles, real-time behavior scoring, and auto-segmentation. Its object model centers on Contacts, Companies, Sessions, Events, and Scoring Models — each enriched with behavioral attributes that Plumb5 tracks across touchpoints. HubSpot's CRM object model uses Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Tickets, with lifecycle_stage as the primary customer-health property and HubSpot's own scoring tools (Predictor, DCE) available post-migration. The two models diverge most at behavior tracking: Plumb5 stores granular session and event history that has no native HubSpot equivalent. FlitStack AI maps Plumb5 contacts to HubSpot contacts, companies to HubSpot companies, and Plumb5's scoring model outputs to HubSpot custom contact properties (e.g., Plumb5_Score__c). Behavior events get surfaced as a custom activity log or contact property rather than HubSpot's native event timeline. Plumb5 workflows and auto-segmentation rules do not migrate — FlitStack exports the rule definitions as a rebuild reference for HubSpot's workflow builder. Migration runs via Plumb5 API export followed by HubSpot API import, with a 24–48h delta window capturing in-flight records at cutover.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Plumb5 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.
Plumb5
Customer Profile
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Plumb5's unified customer profile maps to HubSpot Contact. Each Plumb5 customer record becomes one HubSpot contact, with the Plumb5 record ID preserved as Source_System_ID__c for traceability. Email, name, phone, and address fields map directly to HubSpot standard properties. If the Plumb5 profile contains custom properties, those are migrated as HubSpot custom contact properties, preserving data continuity for segmentation and reporting.
Plumb5
Customer Profile / Company Link
HubSpot
Company
1:1Plumb5 company data (firmographics, industry, employee count, revenue range) maps to HubSpot Company properties. When a Plumb5 customer is associated with multiple companies, the primary company link maps to the HubSpot contact's associated company; secondary associations become Company Contact Relationships in HubSpot.
Plumb5
Session / Behavior Event
HubSpot
Custom Activity Property
1:1Plumb5 session data (page views, device, geo, UTM source/medium/campaign) has no native HubSpot equivalent. FlitStack creates custom contact properties — Session_Count__c, Last_Session_Date__c, UTM_Source__c, Device_Type__c — to preserve behavioral context on each contact record. Session-level event logs are stored as a JSON or delimited custom property for reference.
Plumb5
Score / Scoring Model
HubSpot
Custom Contact Property
1:1Plumb5 generates real-time customer scores across multiple scoring dimensions. These scores are static at migration time — HubSpot does not run Plumb5's scoring model. We migrate the final score values to HubSpot custom Number properties (e.g., Plumb5_Score__c, Engagement_Score__c) so historical scoring context is available on each contact.
Plumb5
Auto-Segment / Segment Group
HubSpot
HubSpot List
1:1Plumb5 auto-segments contacts based on scoring model thresholds and behavioral rules. HubSpot Lists work differently — they are query-based and recalculate on access. We export Plumb5 segment definitions and contact memberships as a reference CSV. HubSpot Lists are rebuilt using the segment names as List titles and the Plumb5 criteria as filter rules inside HubSpot.
Plumb5
Campaign / Campaign Member
HubSpot
HubSpot List
1:1Plumb5 campaign membership tracks which customers received a specific campaign treatment. HubSpot has no native campaign membership concept at the Plumb5 level — we map Plumb5 campaign records to HubSpot Lists named after each campaign, with contact memberships preserved as List membership.
Plumb5
Form Submission / Lead Capture
HubSpot
Contact + Form Submission Association
1:1Plumb5 form submissions are captured as HubSpot form submissions on the contact record. The form name, submission timestamp, and field values map to HubSpot's form submission log — visible in the contact's activity timeline as a Form Submission event. Any custom fields included in the Plumb5 form are also transferred as HubSpot custom form fields, ensuring that non-standard data points are retained and can be used in HubSpot workflows and reports.
Plumb5
Workflow / Automation Rule
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflow
1:1Plumb5 workflows (lead routing, email triggers, score-based actions) do not migrate. FlitStack exports the Plumb5 workflow definitions — trigger conditions, action steps, and branch logic — as a structured JSON reference document. Your HubSpot admin uses this to rebuild equivalent workflows inside HubSpot's workflow builder or Automation Platform.
Plumb5
KPI / Dashboard Configuration
HubSpot
HubSpot Report + Dashboard
1:1Plumb5 KPI dashboard tile definitions (metric name, aggregation logic, display format) do not transfer. We export a snapshot of current KPI values at migration time as custom number properties on contacts and companies. HubSpot reports and dashboards are rebuilt from scratch using HubSpot's report builder, using the migrated properties as data sources.
Plumb5
Attachment / File
HubSpot
HubSpot File
1:1Plumb5 file attachments on customer profiles are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files, then linked back to the corresponding contact or company record. File size limits and format compatibility are validated before upload. Supported file types include PDF, images, spreadsheets, and documents, with a check performed against HubSpot's 250 MB per-file limit to avoid rejected uploads.

Migration approach
Discover Plumb5 object and property inventory
FlitStack reads your Plumb5 account via API — we inventory all customer profiles, companies, session data, scoring model fields, segment definitions, and custom metadata properties. We also review Plumb5's workflow definitions for the export-for-rebuild package. The output is a data-map document listing every source field, its HubSpot target, mapping type, and any pre-migration action required (e.g., pick-list value creation in HubSpot).
Audit data quality and create HubSpot custom properties
Before any data moves, FlitStack runs a data-quality audit on Plumb5 — identifying duplicate contacts, incomplete records, and orphaned company links. We also pre-create every custom HubSpot property needed for the migration (e.g., Plumb5_Score__c, Session_Count__c, Source_System_ID__c) so the target schema is ready. Pick-list values are populated from Plumb5 source values to prevent import rejection. During the audit, FlitStack cross-references Plumb5 field data types with HubSpot property types (text, number, date, picklist) to ensure accurate mapping. Duplicate detection uses email and phone heuristics, and any missing required fields in HubSpot are flagged for correction before the migration run.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of Plumb5 records — typically 100–300 contacts and their associated companies — migrates into HubSpot first. FlitStack generates a field-level comparison showing every mapped value, any value-mapping applied, and any records that skipped or failed. You review the diff to confirm lifecycle stage mapping, segment property assignments, and scoring field placement before the full run commits. The comparison output includes side‑by‑side screenshots, a CSV export of all field mappings, and a summary of any type conversions such as date format changes or multi‑select field expansions.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full Plumb5 dataset migrates to HubSpot using API export from Plumb5 followed by API import into HubSpot. A 24–48h delta window opens at the point of cutover — any records created or modified in Plumb5 during the window are pulled in a second pass. Audit logs capture every record written, and FlitStack generates a reconciliation report comparing record counts, property coverage, and association completeness against the Plumb5 source.
Deliver workflow export and post-migration handoff
FlitStack delivers the Plumb5 workflow definitions as a structured JSON export, the Plumb5 segment criteria as CSV reference lists, and a HubSpot property-setup manifest showing every custom property created. Your HubSpot admin uses these to rebuild Plumb5 automations as HubSpot workflows and segment definitions as HubSpot Lists. FlitStack is available for a 30-day post-migration support window to address any data discrepancy surfaced during reconciliation.
