Overview
Real Intelligence is a competitive intelligence and CRM platform that stores accounts, contacts, deals, and competitive data in a schema optimized for market analysis rather than standard CRM conventions. HubSpot stores data in its Smart CRM object model: Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tickets, and custom objects with HubSpot-native property types. The migration carries all standard CRM objects (accounts → companies, contacts, deals) plus Real Intelligence's custom intelligence fields into HubSpot custom properties or custom objects for reference. Workflows, automation rules, and any AI-driven scoring logic built inside Real Intelligence do not migrate because their execution engine is proprietary — those definitions are exported as a rebuild reference for your HubSpot admin. The migration uses Real Intelligence's export API to pull records in sequence (accounts first, then contacts, then deals and activities), maps field types to HubSpot property types, and loads via HubSpot's bulk import with delta-pickup capturing any in-flight changes during the cutover window.
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 Real Intelligence 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.
Real Intelligence
Account
HubSpot
Company
1:1Direct map. Real Intelligence accounts become HubSpot companies. The account name, domain, industry, employee count, and revenue fields map to HubSpot Company properties, preserving original values. Parent-account hierarchies in Real Intelligence map to HubSpot's parent company relationship, and any custom fields on the account are transferred as HubSpot custom properties. All mappings are validated for data type compatibility before migration.
Real Intelligence
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Direct map. Real Intelligence contacts map to HubSpot contacts with all standard fields (name, email, phone, job title, address) preserved. Owner assignment resolves by email match against HubSpot users, and any unmatched owners are flagged for manual assignment. Contacts without a primary account land as unassociated contacts in HubSpot, and custom fields on contacts are migrated as HubSpot custom properties.
Real Intelligence
Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Direct map. Real Intelligence deals map to HubSpot deals. The deal name, amount, close date, and stage fields translate to HubSpot deal properties, and any custom deal fields are migrated as HubSpot custom properties. HubSpot deal pipelines must be configured before migration so stage values map value-by-value, and deal owner assignment resolves by email match against HubSpot users. Probability values are preserved where applicable.
Real Intelligence
Deal Pipeline
HubSpot
Deal Pipeline
1:1Direct map. Real Intelligence deal pipelines map to HubSpot deal pipelines. Each pipeline in Real Intelligence becomes a separate pipeline in HubSpot, preserving the original pipeline name and any custom fields. Pipeline stage names require value-by-value mapping against HubSpot stage pick-list values, and stage order is retained to maintain deal progression logic. Any stage-level probability settings are also transferred.
Real Intelligence
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting)
HubSpot
Engagement (calls, emails, meetings)
1:1Direct map. Real Intelligence logged calls, emails, and meetings migrate as HubSpot engagements with original timestamps, owners, and parent record associations preserved. Note content maps to HubSpot engagement notes, and any custom activity fields are transferred as HubSpot custom properties. The migration maintains the chronological timeline of interactions and ensures that engagement links to the correct Contact, Company, or Deal record in HubSpot.
Real Intelligence
Competitive Intelligence Record
HubSpot
Custom Object (reference)
1:1Real Intelligence stores competitor profiles, market positioning, and threat assessments in custom objects. These map to HubSpot custom objects with properties preserved as HubSpot custom properties. The relationship to the primary account is migrated as a custom association, and any historical notes or attachments linked to the intelligence record are also transferred. This ensures that competitive insights remain linked to the correct Company record in HubSpot.
Real Intelligence
AI Score / Intelligence Rating
HubSpot
Custom Number Property
1:1Real Intelligence's proprietary scoring algorithm generates numerical ratings stored in custom fields. These migrate as HubSpot custom number properties as static values, preserving historical scoring data for reference. HubSpot's predictive lead scoring or Breeze scoring replaces this functionality post-migration, allowing teams to define new criteria and thresholds that align with their current sales process. The original score definitions are exported as a rebuild guide.
Real Intelligence
Intelligence Lifecycle Stage
HubSpot
Custom Picklist Property
1:1Real Intelligence tracks intelligence lifecycle stages (New, Analyzing, Disseminated, Archived) for market research workflows. There is no HubSpot native equivalent, so we create a HubSpot custom picklist property to preserve the original stage values for reference. This custom picklist can be used for segmentation, filtering, and reporting on intelligence records within HubSpot, and any stage-change history is retained as part of the record's audit trail.
Real Intelligence
Workflow / Automation Rule
HubSpot
Not migrated
1:1Real Intelligence workflow definitions, scoring rules, and trigger-based sequences do not execute in HubSpot. We export workflow definitions as a structured reference document your HubSpot admin uses to rebuild rules in HubSpot's workflow builder. The export includes trigger conditions, action steps, timing logic, and any conditional branches, providing a complete blueprint for recreating the original automation logic in HubSpot.
Real Intelligence
Report / Dashboard
HubSpot
Not migrated
1:1Real Intelligence competitive intelligence reports and dashboards are built on its analytics engine. The underlying data migrates to HubSpot but reports must be rebuilt using HubSpot's reporting tools and Breeze Analytics. We provide a report-structure reference from the source system.
Real Intelligence
Attachment / File
HubSpot
File Attachment
1:1Files attached to accounts, contacts, or deals in Real Intelligence are downloaded and re-uploaded as HubSpot file attachments, preserving original file names and metadata. File size limits apply per HubSpot's upload constraints, and any files exceeding the limit are flagged for manual handling. Inline images in notes are extracted and rehosted as separate HubSpot files, ensuring visual content remains accessible within the record.
Real Intelligence
Account-Contact Association
HubSpot
Primary + Secondary Company
1:1Real Intelligence allows N:N account-to-contact associations. HubSpot associates each contact with one primary company and supports secondary company associations. The primary account maps by most-recent engagement or your specified rule; secondary associations are preserved in HubSpot's additional company relationships. FlitStack generates a mapping report that details which account was selected as primary for each contact, helping you validate the association logic before final migration.

Migration approach
Export and profile the Real Intelligence data schema
FlitStack connects to Real Intelligence's export API and pulls a full schema inventory: all objects, field names, field types, custom fields, and relationship definitions. We profile record counts per object, identify custom intelligence fields and lifecycle stage configurations, and surface any non-standard field types that require HubSpot custom property creation. This step produces the mapping plan that drives all subsequent migration work.
Create HubSpot schema: custom properties, pipelines, and lifecycle stage property
Before data lands in HubSpot, FlitStack creates the custom properties and custom objects required by the mapping plan. Intelligence scores, threat ratings, market positioning, and intelligence lifecycle stages become HubSpot custom properties with appropriate data types (number, text, picklist). Deal pipelines matching Real Intelligence's pipeline structure are pre-created, with each stage defined to align with existing stage names. The custom object for competitive intelligence records is set up with the necessary associations to Company and Contact, and all property definitions are validated for uniqueness before migration begins.
Resolve owners and validate data quality before migration
Owner email addresses from Real Intelligence are matched against HubSpot user accounts. Unmatched owners are flagged with the full list of records assigned to them so your team can either invite them to HubSpot or reassign before migration. FlitStack also runs a data-quality pass: duplicate detection on accounts and contacts, date-format validation, and required-field checks against HubSpot's mandatory property requirements.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning accounts, contacts, deals, and competitive intelligence objects — migrates into HubSpot first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source values against destination values for every mapped property, highlighting any discrepancies in data type, length, or format. You verify intelligence score mapping, competitive data placement, pipeline-to-stage mapping, and owner resolution before the full migration commits. This dry-run validates mapping logic and ensures your team can approve the final cutover with confidence.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit logging
The full dataset migrates into HubSpot using the sequenced load plan: accounts first, then contacts, then deals, then activities and competitive intelligence records. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Real Intelligence during the cutover, ensuring the final HubSpot state reflects all recent changes. Every operation is logged in FlitStack's audit trail, providing a complete history of each record's migration. One-click rollback reverts the HubSpot dataset if reconciliation fails, minimizing risk and enabling a safe retry.
