Overview
Pulse Digital Clinic organizes patient data around appointments, billing cycles, and medical records — a model built for solo and small-group practices that don't need CRM-style segmentation. HubSpot uses contacts, companies, deals, and custom objects to model every customer relationship; lifecycle stage and deal pipeline drive automation and reporting. The migration carries every patient, company, appointment, billing record, and prescription from Pulse into HubSpot's object graph, mapping clinical encounter data to custom objects and provider assignments to HubSpot owner lookups by email. The harder problems are translating Pulse's appointment hierarchy into HubSpot's flat contact model, preserving billing history as deal records with custom financial fields, and rebuilding any campaign logic as HubSpot workflows. We sequence the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly — patients into contacts, clinics into companies, appointments linked to contacts — and run a sample diff before the full cutover commits. All original timestamps, owner assignments, and clinical metadata are preserved throughout the process to maintain data integrity and historical continuity.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Pulse Digital Clinic 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.
Pulse Digital Clinic
Patient / Patient Record
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Pulse patient records map 1:1 to HubSpot contacts. Each patient becomes a contact with their full name split into firstname and lastname properties, email and phone preserved as standard HubSpot contact properties, and the original Pulse patient ID stored as Source_Patient_ID__c for traceability.
Pulse Digital Clinic
Clinic / Practice
HubSpot
Company
1:1Pulse clinic or practice name maps to a HubSpot company record. Physical address fields (street, city, state, postal code, country) map to HubSpot's address properties on the company. Multi-location clinics generate one HubSpot company per location with shared or unique owner assignments.
Pulse Digital Clinic
Appointment / Visit
HubSpot
Custom Object: Clinic Visit
1:1HubSpot has no native appointment object. We create a Clinic Visit custom object with properties for appointment date and time, provider name, visit type (consultation, follow-up, procedure), visit status (scheduled, completed, cancelled, no-show), encounter notes, and linked contact ID. The custom object is associated to the contact by email or patient ID match.
Pulse Digital Clinic
Billing / Invoice
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Pulse billing records map to HubSpot deals with custom fields for invoice number, total amount, amount paid, outstanding balance, billing date, due date, and payment status. The deal is associated to the patient contact and the clinic company. Historical paid invoices can be imported as closed-won deals with the close date set to the payment date.
Pulse Digital Clinic
Provider / Physician
HubSpot
HubSpot Owner
1:1Pulse provider records are resolved to HubSpot owners by email address. If a provider has no HubSpot user account, their records are assigned to a fallback owner or a dedicated provider team in HubSpot; the original provider name is preserved as a custom property on each record for reporting continuity.
Pulse Digital Clinic
Medical Record / Clinical Note
HubSpot
Note (on Contact) / Custom Object: Clinical Record
1:1Short clinical notes attach to the contact as HubSpot notes with the original timestamp and provider as owner. Detailed records with structured fields (diagnosis code, treatment plan, ICD codes) migrate to a Clinical Record custom object with custom properties for each structured field, associated to the patient contact.
Pulse Digital Clinic
Prescription
HubSpot
Custom Object: Prescription / Note
1:1Each prescription record migrates as a Prescription custom object with medication name, dosage, frequency, duration, prescribing provider, and date prescribed as custom properties. The prescription is associated to the patient contact. For low-volume practices, prescriptions are attached as notes instead.
Pulse Digital Clinic
E-Prescribing Log
HubSpot
Note / Custom Object: Prescription
1:1E-prescribing event logs map to the same Prescription custom object, with the original e-prescribe timestamp preserved as a custom datetime field and the prescribing provider as owner. Prescription status (sent, filled, cancelled) stored as a custom pick-list property, allowing staff to filter prescriptions by status directly within the HubSpot contact record.
Pulse Digital Clinic
Campaign / Outreach
HubSpot
HubSpot Campaign + Custom Properties
1:1Pulse campaign records import as HubSpot campaigns with custom properties tracking campaign name, campaign type, target audience description, start and end dates, and a flag indicating whether the campaign was active or archived. Active Pulse campaigns require rebuilding as HubSpot workflow-triggered sequences.
Pulse Digital Clinic
Patient File / Attachment
HubSpot
HubSpot Files (on Contact)
1:1Patient file attachments from Pulse (lab reports, consent forms, imaging references) are downloaded and re-uploaded as HubSpot Files associated to the patient contact record. File size limits for HubSpot file uploads apply; files exceeding the limit are noted for manual upload post-migration.
Pulse Digital Clinic
Chat / Messaging Log
HubSpot
Engagement (Note / Task) on Contact
1:1Pulse chat and messaging logs attach to the patient contact as HubSpot engagement notes with the original timestamp and the front-desk user or provider as owner. Each message thread is represented as a single engagement note entry with the full message text preserved.
Pulse Digital Clinic
Patient Lifecycle Status
HubSpot
Custom Property: Patient_Status__c (on Contact)
1:1HubSpot's lifecycle_stage property models marketing leads rather than clinical patient states. We create a custom pick-list property Patient_Status__c on contacts with values mapping from Pulse patient states (Active, Inactive, Discharged, New Lead, referred-out) to maintain clinical status reporting after migration.

Migration approach
Extract Pulse data via manual export or support-assisted pull
Because Pulse Digital Clinic has no confirmed public API, FlitStack coordinates with your team to pull complete CSV exports of patients, appointments, billing records, prescriptions, and medical records from Pulse's built-in export tools. If the built-in export has field limitations, we engage Pulse support to obtain a full data dump. The extracted files are profiled for field coverage, duplicate rates, null values, and data quality issues before any mapping work begins. This profiling step surfaces any fields that will need custom object or custom property creation in HubSpot.
Design HubSpot schema: custom objects, properties, and deal stages
Based on the Pulse data profile, FlitStack designs the HubSpot schema before data moves. This includes creating the Clinic Visit custom object and its properties, the Prescription custom object, the Clinical Record custom object, and all custom contact and deal properties (Patient_Status__c, Source_Patient_ID__c, Original_Create_Date__c, Invoice_Number__c, outstanding balance fields, and provider name properties). We also define the deal stage values for billing — Closed Won for paid invoices, a custom Billing Pending stage for outstanding balances — and configure the associations between custom objects and the patient contact record. Your HubSpot admin reviews and approves the schema design before ingestion begins.
Resolve providers to HubSpot owners and sequence record ingestion
Pulse provider email addresses are matched against HubSpot user accounts. Matches are confirmed; unmatched providers are flagged and assigned to a fallback owner. The migration is sequenced to respect HubSpot's foreign-key requirements: clinic records are ingested as HubSpot companies first, then patients are ingested as contacts with their primary clinic linked via the company association, then appointments are ingested as Clinic Visit custom object records linked to the patient contact, and finally billing records are ingested as deals associated to the contact and company. This sequencing ensures that every association resolves correctly at migration time rather than leaving orphaned lookups.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative sample — typically 100–300 records spanning patients across different statuses, appointments of different visit types, billing records with various payment statuses, and prescriptions — migrates first into your HubSpot sandbox or a non-production HubSpot account. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Pulse values against destination HubSpot values for every mapped property. You review the diff to confirm patient status mapping, appointment-to-contact linking, deal stage assignment for billing records, and provider name preservation. Any mapping corrections are applied before the full migration run. This step is the primary guard against data loss or misclassification.
Full migration with delta-pickup window and post-migration audit
The full dataset migrates from Pulse to HubSpot using the validated mapping. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial load captures any records created or modified in Pulse during the cutover period. FlitStack generates an audit log of every record ingested, every association created, and every field transformed. A post-migration reconciliation report compares record counts per object and per property against the source Pulse exports. You can request one-click rollback if the reconciliation reveals unexpected gaps. After validation, your team runs parallel operation in HubSpot while Pulse remains live until full go-live is confirmed.
