Overview

What this migration involves

RollWorks stores three layers of data that need to translate into HubSpot: the target account layer (accounts, ICP fit grades, journey stages), the engagement layer (ad impressions, page views, intent keywords from AdRoll), and the activation layer (account lists, list memberships, workflow triggers). None of these map directly to HubSpot native objects — account scores become custom number fields, journey stages become custom pick-lists, and engagement history becomes custom string fields on the Company record. The hardest problem is deduplication: if your RollWorks and HubSpot accounts are already integrated bidirectionally, you have duplicate Company records that need to be merged during migration rather than creating two competing account profiles in HubSpot. We handle this by matching on RollWorks account ID stored in HubSpot during the existing sync, then consolidating into a single record with all RollWorks engagement data preserved as custom properties. Workflows, audience triggers, and campaign orchestration logic built in RollWorks AdRoll Workflows do not migrate — those must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow engine or your MAP after cutover.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

What's pushing teams away

  • Filter selection and segmenting abilities are repeatedly cited as limited, with 45 G2 mentions flagging the constraint — teams needing granular audience builds outgrow the platform's segmentation.
  • RollWorks rebranded to AdRoll ABM, merging the ABM product into the broader AdRoll advertising brand, which creates confusion for teams that selected RollWorks specifically for its standalone ABM positioning.
  • Pricing opacity and the sales-driven quote process push teams toward competitors with published pricing or self-service tiers, especially at the lower end of mid-market.
  • Visitor identification stays at the company level, not person level — teams needing individual contact attribution for ad targeting must layer in a separate contact-level tool.
  • Advanced ABM capabilities in competing platforms (6sense predictive buying stages, Demandbase account-based web personalization) outpace RollWorks for enterprise-tier requirements.

Choosing

What's pulling them in

  • Lowest barrier to entry of any major CRM — the free tier with unlimited contacts lets teams validate fit before committing to a paid plan, according to G2 and Capterra reviewers.
  • Native integration between the CRM and sales engagement tools (sequences, email tracking, dialer) means no separate sync configuration, a theme across G2 Sales Hub reviews.
  • Pipeline visualization, deal tracking, and automated workflows are consistently praised as intuitive and easy to set up without developer involvement.
  • Strong onboarding for new team members — reviewers on Capterra and G2 highlight how quickly new reps become productive without formal training.
  • The HubSpot platform ecosystem (Marketing, Sales, Service, CMS hubs) allows growing companies to consolidate tools without building new integrations.

Object mapping

How RollWorks Account-Based Platform objects map to HubSpot

Each row shows how a RollWorks Account-Based Platform 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.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Account (target account in RollWorks)

maps to

HubSpot

Company

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks accounts map to HubSpot Companies. If RollWorks and HubSpot were already bidirectionally synced, FlitStack matches existing HubSpot Companies by RollWorks account ID stored in HubSpot during the prior integration, then merges engagement data onto the matched record. Accounts without a HubSpot counterpart are created as new Company records. RollWorks account properties (domain, industry, employee count, ICP fit grade) map to corresponding HubSpot Company properties or custom fields.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Account List

maps to

HubSpot

Static List + Custom Property

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks Account Lists have no native HubSpot equivalent — HubSpot lists operate on contacts, not accounts. FlitStack maps each RollWorks Account List to a HubSpot static Company list and adds a RollWorks_List_Name__c custom multi-select or text property on the Company record so list membership is queryable in HubSpot reports. If your RollWorks account lists overlap (one account in multiple lists), HubSpot's Company list model handles this correctly since a Company can belong to multiple static lists.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Account Group

maps to

HubSpot

Static List (nested or grouped)

many:1
Fully supported

RollWorks Account Groups contain multiple Account Lists. These map to HubSpot Company list groups or tags. FlitStack creates a naming convention in HubSpot (e.g., [Group Name] > [List Name]) using HubSpot's list hierarchy or a custom text property to preserve the parent-child relationship from RollWorks. If your RollWorks instance uses account groups for campaign targeting, FlitStack surfaces the full group-to-list hierarchy in the migration plan so your team can decide how to model it in HubSpot.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Journey Stage (per account)

maps to

HubSpot

Custom pick-list property on Company

1:1
Fully supported

HubSpot has lifecycle stages for contacts but no native account-level journey stage. FlitStack creates a RollWorks_Journey_Stage__c custom pick-list property on the Company object, populating it with RollWorks' stage values (Unaware, Aware, On Radar, Target, Prospect, Opportunity, Customer). If the same company can have multiple contacts at different journey stages in RollWorks, the migration plan surfaces this as a multi-value field or association note — your team decides the HubSpot model.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

ICP Fit Grade

maps to

HubSpot

Custom pick-list property on Company

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks ICP Fit Grade (A, B, C, D, F) has no direct HubSpot equivalent — HubSpot's native company scoring is behavioral, not firmographic. FlitStack creates a RollWorks_ICP_Fit_Grade__c pick-list on the Company record, preserving the grade from RollWorks along with any custom-fit notes. ICP Employee Range and Annual Revenue from RollWorks map directly to HubSpot's numberofemployees and annualrevenue Company properties.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Sales Insights (account spike data)

maps to

HubSpot

Custom properties on Company

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks Sales Insights include Spike Level, Spike Date, Number of Spiked Matched Contacts, and intent keyword summaries. These map to a suite of custom fields on the Company record: RollWorks_Spike_Level__c, RollWorks_Spike_Date__c, RollWorks_Spiked_Contacts__c, and RollWorks_Top_Intent_Keywords__c (text). HubSpot reports can reference these for account prioritization. Spike notifications that were pushed to Salesforce or HubSpot via the RollWorks widget already appear in HubSpot for synced accounts — FlitStack checks for duplicates before writing.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Ad Engagement (impressions, clicks, page views)

maps to

HubSpot

Custom number and date properties on Company

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks tracks per-account ad impression counts, click counts, and website page views as engagement metrics used for journey progression and reporting. These map to custom number fields on the HubSpot Company: RollWorks_Ad_Impressions__c, RollWorks_Ad_Clicks__c, RollWorks_Page_Views_30d__c. If RollWorks stores a rolling 30-day or 90-day window, FlitStack preserves the period label and snapshot date so HubSpot reporting is consistent.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Contact (from RollWorks CRM sync)

maps to

HubSpot

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks synchronizes contacts from the connected CRM (HubSpot or Salesforce) as part of its integration. If RollWorks is the source of truth for contacts (rare — most teams use RollWorks as an overlay), FlitStack maps contact records by email, preserving RollWorks-specific contact properties like Hot Contact flags, contact intent signals, and role labels. Standard contact properties (name, email, phone, jobtitle) map directly to HubSpot Contact fields.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

AdRoll Workflow

maps to

HubSpot

Not migratable

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks AdRoll Workflows orchestrate actions across HubSpot, Marketo, email, and advertising based on account signals — they have no equivalent in HubSpot native tooling. FlitStack does not migrate workflow definitions. We export your RollWorks workflow configurations (triggers, conditions, actions, and target systems) as a structured JSON reference document that your HubSpot admin or RevOps team can use to rebuild equivalent automations in HubSpot Workflows or Operations Hub.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

AdRoll Campaign data (creative, spend, CPM)

maps to

HubSpot

Not migratable (external advertising data)

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks stores advertising campaign creative, spend data, CPM billing, and channel configuration for display, LinkedIn, and Facebook campaigns. These are AdRoll platform configuration, not CRM account data — they have no place in HubSpot. FlitStack preserves campaign names, targeting criteria, and historical spend as a CSV export for your media team's records. Rebuying advertising through HubSpot Ads is a separate integration decision post-migration.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Intent Keyword data

maps to

HubSpot

Custom text property on Company

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks surfaces high-intent and very-high-intent keyword topics per account based on G2 intent data and AdRoll signal processing. These keywords indicate what an account is researching. FlitStack maps this to a RollWorks_Intent_Keywords__c text property on the HubSpot Company record. Your sales team can use this field to personalize outreach. Note: RollWorks also offers a G2 integration for buyer-intent signals — if your intent data comes from that source, FlitStack preserves it identically.

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Hot Contact / Sales Alert

maps to

HubSpot

Custom property or engagement score

1:1
Fully supported

RollWorks surfaces Hot Contacts when a tracked contact visits your website after seeing an ad — these appear as alerts in Salesforce or HubSpot via the Sales Insights widget. FlitStack migrates the Hot Contact flag as a RollWorks_Hot_Contact__c boolean property on the HubSpot Contact record, along with the RollWorks_Sales_Alert_Date__c datetime. Rebuilding real-time Hot Contact alerts in HubSpot requires HubSpot's engagement tracking or a third-party ABM tool.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Bidirectional RollWorks–HubSpot sync creates duplicate Company records that must be merged

    RollWorks has a HubSpot Certified bidirectional integration that continuously syncs contact and account data. If your RollWorks and HubSpot accounts were connected before migration, HubSpot already contains some or all of your RollWorks accounts as Company records — potentially with partial engagement data from the Sales Insights widget. FlitStack identifies these duplicates by matching on the RollWorks account ID stored in HubSpot during the existing sync. During migration, we merge the duplicate records: the existing HubSpot Company gets updated with all RollWorks ABM properties, and no new record is created. If the RollWorks account ID was not stored in HubSpot during the sync, FlitStack falls back to domain-matching to identify duplicates. This deduplication step must be completed before the full migration to avoid inflating your HubSpot record count and creating duplicate reporting.

  • RollWorks Journey Stages have no native HubSpot equivalent and require custom field configuration

    HubSpot's lifecycle stages apply to contacts, not accounts. RollWorks Journey Stages (Unaware, Aware, On Radar, Target, Prospect, Opportunity, Customer) track account-level progression through the buying journey and drive campaign targeting in RollWorks. There is no HubSpot native object, property, or field type that replicates this behavior. FlitStack creates a RollWorks_Journey_Stage__c custom pick-list on the HubSpot Company object and populates it with the current stage value from RollWorks for every migrated account. Your HubSpot admin must then decide whether to use this field for manual reporting, build HubSpot lists off it, or connect it to a HubSpot workflow — the field is migrated, but the business logic around it requires a rebuild decision. Stage-change history (when an account progressed from On Radar to Target) is not available in RollWorks export data and cannot be migrated.

  • Intent data and Sales Insights spike signals are proprietary to RollWorks and cannot be reactivated post-migration

    RollWorks Sales Insights including account spike level, spike date, intent keywords, and G2 buyer-intent signals are generated by RollWorks' own data science model trained on AdRoll advertising data and G2 behavioral signals. These metrics have no equivalent in HubSpot's native data model. FlitStack migrates the current snapshot values as custom properties on the Company record — RollWorks_Spike_Level__c, RollWorks_Spike_Date__c, RollWorks_Intent_Keywords__c — preserving the intelligence for historical reporting and sales rep context. However, these values are frozen at migration time and will not update. Real-time spike alerts, the Sales Insights widget in HubSpot, and ABM-style account prioritization based on live intent data require a replacement solution such as a HubSpot Operations Hub workflow, a third-party ABM intent-data integration, or rebuilding the ABM program on a different platform.

  • AdRoll Workflows and campaign orchestration logic do not migrate and have no HubSpot native equivalent

    RollWorks AdRoll Workflows orchestrate sequences across HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce, and advertising channels using account-level triggers — for example, adding a contact to a Marketo campaign when their account reaches Target journey stage, or updating a HubSpot contact property when an account shows a spike. These workflow definitions, triggers, conditions, and action sequences have no equivalent in HubSpot's workflow engine. HubSpot workflows operate on contact and deal records with contact-level triggers, not account-level ABM signals. FlitStack exports all AdRoll Workflow definitions as a structured JSON document that your RevOps team can use as a reference to rebuild equivalent automations in HubSpot. Workflow rebuilding is not included in the migration price — it is a separate implementation engagement. Workflow export is provided as a courtesy at no additional cost.

  • RollWorks requires HubSpot Super Admin credentials during migration, and deauthorization breaks future syncs

    RollWorks' bidirectional HubSpot integration requires a HubSpot Super Admin user to authorize the connection and grants the RollWorks app specific permissions scoped to CRM data. During FlitStack's migration, we require read access to your RollWorks data export and a scoped write connection to your HubSpot instance. If the HubSpot user who originally authorized the RollWorks integration leaves your company and their HubSpot account is deactivated, the RollWorks integration breaks — the integration requires re-authentication with an active Super Admin account before FlitStack can complete the migration. FlitStack recommends designating a dedicated migration admin in HubSpot who retains Super Admin permissions through the entire cutover window and coordinates with your RollWorks admin to keep the existing integration active until the migration is confirmed complete.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful RollWorks Account-Based Platform to HubSpot data migration

  1. Inventory RollWorks account data and HubSpot existing records

    FlitStack exports your complete RollWorks account dataset via the RollWorks API: all target accounts, account list memberships, account groups, journey stages, engagement metrics, Sales Insights, and contact records. Simultaneously, we inventory your HubSpot instance to identify any companies, contacts, or custom properties that already exist from the prior RollWorks bidirectional sync. We match existing HubSpot records to RollWorks accounts by RollWorks account ID (if stored in HubSpot during sync) and by domain. This inventory step produces a deduplication plan before any writes occur — you review and approve the plan before data moves.

  2. Design HubSpot custom property schema for ABM data

    FlitStack designs the HubSpot custom property schema based on your RollWorks data inventory. For each RollWorks property that has no native HubSpot equivalent (ICP fit grade, journey stage, spike level, intent keywords, engagement counts), we create a corresponding custom field on the Company object. We use consistent naming conventions (RollWorks_ prefix) so the properties are identifiable in HubSpot reporting and list-building. For account list memberships, we design a mapping to HubSpot Company static lists plus a RollWorks_Account_Lists__c text property for queryable membership tracking. You approve the schema before FlitStack creates the properties in your HubSpot instance.

  3. Run sample migration with field-level diff for account and contact records

    FlitStack runs a representative sample migration — typically 100–500 accounts spanning your full account list and journey stage distribution. We generate a field-level diff report showing every RollWorks property mapped to its HubSpot destination, including custom properties, list memberships, and deduplication decisions. You review the diff to confirm that journey stage values, ICP grades, spike levels, and engagement counts landed correctly in HubSpot. Any mapping errors are corrected before the full run. This sample step is the last chance to adjust the property schema or deduplication logic at no additional cost.

  4. Execute full migration with deduplication and delta-pickup window

    The full migration runs against your HubSpot instance. FlitStack processes accounts in dependency order: companies first (with deduplication against existing HubSpot records), then contacts matched by email and RollWorks contact ID, then list memberships applied as HubSpot Company static lists and RollWorks_Account_Lists__c property values. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours captures any changes made in RollWorks during the cutover — new accounts added to lists, journey stage changes, or new Sales Insights alerts that occurred between the initial export and go-live. After the delta window closes, FlitStack delivers an audit log of every record written and a reconciliation report comparing total account counts and property completeness against the source export.

  5. Export RollWorks workflow definitions and deliver post-migration handoff package

    After the data migration is confirmed, FlitStack exports all AdRoll Workflow definitions as a structured JSON reference file and delivers it alongside the migration audit log. The handoff package includes: the complete field mapping spreadsheet, the deduplication decision log, the HubSpot custom property setup guide, a list of RollWorks account lists mapped to HubSpot static Company lists, and the workflow export JSON. Your HubSpot admin and RevOps team use the handoff package to rebuild account-triggered automations in HubSpot. FlitStack is available for a separate implementation engagement if your team wants guided help rebuilding the ABM automation logic in HubSpot.

Context on both ends of the pair

RollWorks Account-Based Platform logo

RollWorks Account-Based Platform

Source

Strengths

  • Bi-directional Salesforce and HubSpot integration keeps ABM signals embedded in the sales record
  • Account Spike data science model gives SDRs a ranked outreach list without additional tooling
  • Multi-channel advertising (display, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) under one vendor reduces coordination overhead
  • G2 buyer intent integration enriches native intent data with third-party buying signals
  • Dynamic CPM ad serving model with no platform fee on self-service retargeting

Weaknesses

  • Visitor identification is company-level only, not person-level, requiring a supplemental contact tool for individual attribution
  • Filter and segmentation capabilities are limited compared to dedicated data platforms, with 45 G2 mentions flagging the constraint
  • Non-standard Salesforce objects and their fields are not available for Journey Stages customization
  • Lead object activity cannot be associated to Accounts in Journey Events, leaving a data gap for teams using Leads over Contacts
  • RollWorks rebranded to AdRoll ABM, merging ABM identity into the broader AdRoll advertising brand

Destination

Strengths

  • Genuinely useful free CRM tier with no seat limit on contact records.
  • All-in-one sales engagement layer (sequences, email tracking, calling, dialer) embedded natively in the CRM, eliminating a separate integration.
  • Intuitive interface and fast onboarding for individual reps, per G2 and Capterra reviews.
  • Workflow automation triggers across contacts, deals, and tickets with a visual builder.
  • API coverage for all standard objects including custom objects at Enterprise tier.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is contact-based at the marketing layer — importing all records as marketing contacts can multiply the monthly bill by 4×.
  • Feature tier cliffs are frequent surprises: sequences, calling, advanced reporting, and quoting are all gated, often requiring plan upgrades mid-implementation.
  • Mandatory onboarding fees at Professional ($1,500) and Enterprise ($3,500) are not prominently disclosed on the pricing page.
  • API rate limits are restrictive for bulk migration — burst limits of 100-200 req/10sec and search endpoint limits of 4 req/sec require careful job queuing.
  • Custom objects, additional pipelines, and advanced forecasting are Enterprise-only, making cost projections difficult for growing teams.

Most RollWorks to HubSpot migrations complete in 3–5 days of clock time for setups with fewer than 50,000 target accounts and fewer than 20 custom ABM properties. Larger migrations with 500,000+ records or complex account list hierarchies with overlapping memberships extend to 10–14 days. The longest planning step is designing the HubSpot custom property schema for RollWorks engagement data (Sales Insights, intent keywords, journey stages) — that happens in the discovery phase before any data moves. The actual migration run time is driven by HubSpot API rate limits on custom property writes, not by RollWorks export speed.
