Overview
SalesCaptain stores contacts, companies, conversations, and custom fields in a flat object model centered on communication workflows. HubSpot uses a relational object graph with Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Engagements, plus lifecycle stage as a core property. The migration translates SalesCaptain's flat contact-record structure into HubSpot's property-based model, splitting communication threads into HubSpot Engagements and mapping custom field definitions to HubSpot custom properties. We sequence the migration: companies first, then contacts with lifecycle-stage assignment logic, then deals with pipeline-stage mapping, then activity history. Owner resolution happens by email match against HubSpot users. SalesCaptain's custom field definitions require pre-creation of HubSpot custom properties (some tiers limit count). Workflows, sequences, and automation logic from SalesCaptain do not migrate — we export the workflow definitions as a rebuild reference for your HubSpot admin. The migration runs via HubSpot's Contacts API and Companies API, with bulk operations for large record volumes. Each migration batch includes validation checkpoints that compare record counts and field-level checksums against the source data. A delta-pickup window captures any records created or modified during the cutover period, ensuring your HubSpot portal reflects the complete final state of your SalesCaptain data at go-live.
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 SalesCaptain 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.
SalesCaptain
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1SalesCaptain contacts migrate as HubSpot contacts. Every standard contact property (firstname, lastname, email, phone, jobtitle, address fields) maps directly to HubSpot's contact properties. Owner assignment resolves by email match against HubSpot users. Unmatched owners receive a fallback assignment or are flagged for your admin to provision before the full migration runs.
SalesCaptain
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1SalesCaptain company records map to HubSpot company records. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and revenue field map directly. HubSpot's company record serves as the association hub for all related contacts. If a SalesCaptain company has no contacts, it still migrates as a standalone HubSpot company record.
SalesCaptain
Conversation / Communication Thread
HubSpot
Engagement (Call, Email, Meeting, Note)
1:1SalesCaptain conversation threads are split into HubSpot engagement sub-types: logged calls become HubSpot Calls, text-based messages become Notes, and scheduled meetings become HubSpot Meetings. Each engagement preserves the original timestamp, owner (resolved by email), and parent contact/company association. Thread-level metadata (e.g., conversation channel) is stored as a custom engagement property.
SalesCaptain
Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1SalesCaptain deal records migrate as HubSpot deal records. Deal name, amount, and close date map directly. Deal status in SalesCaptain maps to the HubSpot pipeline stage pick-list — this requires mapping each SalesCaptain status value to a corresponding HubSpot stage. If SalesCaptain uses a single pipeline, it maps to one HubSpot deal pipeline. Multiple SalesCaptain deal statuses require multiple HubSpot pipelines.
SalesCaptain
Custom Field (Contact-level)
HubSpot
Custom Property (Contact)
1:1SalesCaptain custom fields attached to contacts require pre-creation as HubSpot custom contact properties before migration. HubSpot's tier determines the custom property cap. We deliver a custom property creation checklist before the migration run so your HubSpot admin can pre-provision the schema. Field type mapping: text fields to single-line text, number fields to number properties, date fields to date properties, pick-lists to dropdown properties.
SalesCaptain
Custom Field (Company-level)
HubSpot
Custom Property (Company)
1:1SalesCaptain company-level custom fields map to HubSpot custom company properties. Same pre-creation requirement applies — the custom property must exist in HubSpot before data loads. We provide a field-level mapping document that names each SalesCaptain custom field, its HubSpot target property name, and its field type so your admin can create them in the correct order.
SalesCaptain
Owner / User
HubSpot
Owner
1:1SalesCaptain owner IDs resolve to HubSpot owners by email address match. If a SalesCaptain user has no matching HubSpot user account, their assigned records are flagged before migration. Your team either creates HubSpot user accounts for those owners or assigns them to a designated fallback owner. This step prevents orphaned records in HubSpot after migration.
SalesCaptain
Attachment / File
HubSpot
File (HubSpot Files)
1:1SalesCaptain file attachments on contacts or deals re-upload to HubSpot Files. Each file is re-hosted in HubSpot's file manager and linked back to the associated contact or deal record. Large files (over 250 MB per file) require chunked upload. Inline images in notes are extracted and rehosted separately.
SalesCaptain
Communication Channel Profile
HubSpot
Custom Property or Integration Setting
1:1SalesCaptain communication channel profiles (e.g., linked phone numbers, SMS channels, calling profiles) have no direct HubSpot equivalent. Channel identifiers and configuration metadata are preserved as read-only custom properties on the contact record for reference. Rebuilt integrations point to HubSpot's calling or telephony settings post-migration.
SalesCaptain
Workflow / Sequence Definition
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflow (rebuild required)
1:1SalesCaptain workflow definitions (lead routing rules, follow-up sequences, automated message triggers) do not migrate. We export the workflow logic as a structured JSON reference document that your HubSpot admin or implementation partner uses to rebuild equivalent automations in HubSpot's Workflows tool. Sequence step definitions, trigger conditions, and delay rules are all preserved in the export.

Migration approach
Audit SalesCaptain data model and map to HubSpot schema
FlitStack AI extracts the full SalesCaptain object and field inventory via API — contacts, companies, deals, conversations, custom fields, owner list, and attachment metadata. We compare this against your target HubSpot portal's existing schema and generate a field-level mapping document that names each SalesCaptain field, its HubSpot target, and the mapping type (direct, transformed, custom field required). Any HubSpot custom properties that do not yet exist are flagged for your admin to create before the migration run. We also identify SalesCaptain deal statuses that need HubSpot pipeline stage decisions from your team.
Provision HubSpot users and resolve owners by email
FlitStack AI matches SalesCaptain owner IDs to HubSpot users by email address. For each unmatched owner, we generate a flag report listing the owner email, their record count, and the affected object types. Your team either provisions a HubSpot user account for that owner or designates a fallback owner. No records migrate without a resolved HubSpot owner — this prevents orphaned records in HubSpot post-migration.
Migrate companies first, then contacts, then deals, then engagements
HubSpot requires referential integrity: contacts need a company association (Associated Company ID), and deals need contacts to attach as deal contacts. We sequence the migration: companies load first, then contacts with their company associations, then deals with pipeline and stage mapping, then engagement history (calls, notes, meetings). This order ensures foreign keys resolve correctly on the HubSpot side. We run each object as a separate batch with validation checkpoints between batches.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff before the full run
A representative slice of records — typically 200–500 spanning contacts, companies, deals, and a sample of engagement history — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing the source SalesCaptain values against the target HubSpot values for every mapped field. You review the diff to confirm that custom property mapping, lifecycle stage defaults, pipeline stage mapping, and owner resolution look correct. You sign off on the sample before the full migration run commits. This step catches mapping errors at a small scale before they affect your entire database.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
The full migration runs against your HubSpot portal using HubSpot's Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Engagements APIs. A delta-pickup window — typically 24–48 hours after the initial load — captures any records created or modified in SalesCaptain during the cutover period so HubSpot reflects your final SalesCaptain state at go-live. FlitStack AI produces a full audit log of every operation (create, update, associate) with source record ID, destination record ID, timestamp, and operator. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation counts do not match.
