Overview
Rubi CRM organizes customer data around membership, training, and event modules with a flat contact-company relationship model. HubSpot uses a separate Contacts and Companies model with Deals as the pipeline unit and lifecycle_stage as the primary customer-progression property. We extract Rubi CRM contacts, companies, membership records, events, tasks, and notes via Rubi CRM's API, transform the source schema to match HubSpot's conventions (snake_case to camelCase, datetime preservation, association rebuilding), and load into HubSpot via the Contacts API and Companies API with bulk-import fallback for high-volume datasets. Event records from Rubi CRM become HubSpot Deals with custom properties capturing event type, date, and capacity. Membership records migrate to a HubSpot custom object or get appended to the primary contact record depending on your data model preference. We surface automations, workflows, and integrations that cannot migrate and provide export artifacts your team can use to rebuild those in HubSpot's workflow builder.
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 Rubi CRM 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.
Rubi CRM
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Rubi CRM contacts map directly to HubSpot contacts. We preserve the original email address as the unique identifier and use email matching for owner resolution. Contacts without an email address receive a placeholder and get flagged for manual review before the full migration runs.
Rubi CRM
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Rubi CRM company records migrate as HubSpot companies. Company names become the Company Name field. Parent-child company hierarchies in Rubi CRM map to HubSpot's parent company field. Multi-contact companies in Rubi CRM maintain all contact associations in HubSpot via the primary-company link.
Rubi CRM
Event / Training
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Rubi CRM event and training records become HubSpot Deals. We capture the event name as the Deal name, event date as the close date, and event capacity as a custom number property. Event status (confirmed, pending, cancelled) maps to HubSpot Deal stage via value mapping. Multiple event instances for recurring training become separate Deal records.
Rubi CRM
Membership
HubSpot
Custom Object or Contact Property
1:1Rubi CRM membership records with start date, end date, membership type, and status do not have a direct HubSpot equivalent. We create a Membership custom object in HubSpot linked to the contact, capturing membership_type, start_date, end_date, and renewal_status as custom properties. Alternatively, membership data appends to the contact record as custom properties based on your preference.
Rubi CRM
Task / Activity
HubSpot
Task
1:1Rubi CRM tasks and activities migrate to HubSpot tasks. Task subject becomes the task name, due date maps to the task due date, and completion status transfers as is. Owner resolution happens via email match to HubSpot users. Unresolved owners get assigned to a migration owner for manual reassignment.
Rubi CRM
Note
HubSpot
Note
1:1Rubi CRM notes migrate to HubSpot notes attached to the corresponding contact or company record. Note body text preserves formatting including bullet points and numbered lists where supported. Original create timestamps become HubSpot note create dates. Notes with attachments require file download from Rubi CRM and re-upload to HubSpot Files, with the HubSpot file ID linked back to the note record.
Rubi CRM
Account (Financial)
HubSpot
Company Property or Custom Object
1:1Rubi CRM accounts track financial data linked to customers. HubSpot does not have a native accounting object, so financial fields (account balance, payment terms) migrate as custom properties on the HubSpot company record. For complex financial tracking, we recommend a separate accounting tool integration post-migration.
Rubi CRM
Integration Metadata
HubSpot
N/A
1:1Rubi CRM's bolt-on integrations (Outlook plugin, Sage, QuickBooks, Xero, Zoom) are connection-level configurations that cannot migrate because they are tied to Rubi CRM's platform architecture. We document each active integration including connection parameters, authentication settings, and sync configurations needed to re-establish them in HubSpot's App Marketplace or via HubSpot's API integrations.
Rubi CRM
Report Builder Configurations
HubSpot
HubSpot Dashboards
1:1Rubi CRM saved reports and dashboard configurations use Rubi's proprietary report builder schema that is incompatible with HubSpot's reporting engine. We export complete report definitions including filters, groupings, and chart configurations as reference documents. During post-migration optimization, our team rebuilds equivalent HubSpot reports and dashboards using the migrated underlying data.
Rubi CRM
Custom Fields (Global)
HubSpot
Custom Properties
1:1All Rubi CRM custom fields and module-specific properties (membership type, event capacity, training location, etc.) migrate as HubSpot custom properties. We auto-create the property in HubSpot with the appropriate type (text, number, date, picklist) and preserve the property label. Multi-select picklists in Rubi CRM become HubSpot multi-checkbox or single-checkbox properties based on value count.

Migration approach
Extract Rubi CRM data via API with deduplication
FlitStack AI connects to Rubi CRM using API credentials from your Rubi CRM account. We extract all contacts, companies, events, training records, membership data, tasks, and notes. During extraction, we apply deduplication rules (duplicate contacts by email) and flag records with missing required fields (contacts without email addresses get flagged for manual review). We respect Rubi CRM API rate limits and batch records to avoid throttling. The extraction generates an audit log of record counts per object type so you can verify the data scope before mapping begins.
Design HubSpot schema and custom properties
Before any data loads, we configure your HubSpot portal to receive the Rubi CRM data. This includes creating the deal pipeline and stages that correspond to your Rubi event status values, creating custom properties for event fields (capacity, type, location, registration count), setting up the membership custom object or contact properties depending on your chosen migration path, and creating any pick-list value mappings for status fields. We deliver a HubSpot setup checklist so your admin can pre-approve the schema configuration. This step runs in parallel with extraction for efficiency.
Transform data with field mapping and association rebuilding
We apply the field mapping from the migration plan: contacts linked to companies via HubSpot association, events converted to deals with custom event properties, membership records attached to contacts via custom object or property, and task owners resolved by email match to HubSpot users. We handle date format standardization, phone number formatting, and null-value handling. All Rubi CRM record IDs are preserved in custom properties on each HubSpot record for traceability. The transformation output is a staged dataset ready for test migration.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of records (typically 100-500) migrates first, covering contacts, companies, events, and tasks. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source values to destination values so you can verify the mapping is correct. You review the diff and flag any fields that need adjustment before the full run. This step catches value-mapping errors (wrong status mapped), association issues (contacts not linked to companies), and custom property creation gaps. No data is committed to production during this step.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
After sample migration approval, we run the full data migration into your HubSpot portal. A delta-pickup window of 24-48 hours runs in parallel, capturing any new or modified records in Rubi CRM during the cutover period. We use HubSpot's bulk import API for high-volume objects and the Contacts/Companies API for records requiring association resolution. Audit logs record every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation reveals data integrity issues. After cutover, we provide a final reconciliation report comparing record counts and field completeness between Rubi CRM and HubSpot.
