Overview
SendPulse's built-in CRM uses a flat contact-and-deal model: contacts link to companies via a company_id field, deals have a single stage and owner, and custom fields are per-contact key-value pairs. HubSpot separates Contacts, Companies, and Deals into a relational object graph with lifecycle stages, multiple pipelines, weighted stage probabilities, and a deal-property system for custom attributes. We map SendPulse contacts to HubSpot Contacts (associating them with migrated HubSpot Companies by company name), SendPulse deals to HubSpot Deals with stage remapping per pipeline, and available engagement history to HubSpot Timeline events. SendPulse Automation 360 flows — email sequences, trigger-based flows, and A/B test flows — do not migrate; they must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow editor. We export your SendPulse flow definitions as a JSON reference file your team uses to reconstruct each automation. A sample migration with field-level diff runs before the full cutover; a 24–48-hour delta-pickup window captures in-flight changes during the switchover.
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 SendPulse 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.
SendPulse
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1SendPulse contacts migrate directly to HubSpot Contacts. The SendPulse company_id field resolves to the migrated HubSpot Company by company name lookup, then associates via HubSpot's primary Company field on the Contact record. All contact properties, including email, phone, and custom fields, are mapped to the corresponding HubSpot Contact properties, preserving timestamps and owner assignments.
SendPulse
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1SendPulse companies map 1:1 to HubSpot Companies. Parent-child company hierarchies in SendPulse map to HubSpot's Parent Company field. SendPulse company ID stored as Source_System_ID__c for traceability. Each company record also retains its original industry, website, and address fields, which are mapped to HubSpot's corresponding company properties, ensuring data continuity across the migration.
SendPulse
Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1SendPulse deals map to HubSpot Deals with stage-name remapping to the target HubSpot pipeline. SendPulse's single-stage model maps to whichever HubSpot pipeline your team designates as primary. Stage probabilities re-applied from HubSpot's pipeline configuration. Deal owner assignments are resolved by email match to HubSpot users, and any unmatched owners are flagged for manual assignment before the migration runs.
SendPulse
Pipeline (multiple in SendPulse)
HubSpot
Pipeline
1:1Each SendPulse deal pipeline becomes a separate HubSpot Pipeline. If SendPulse has multiple pipelines, we create corresponding HubSpot pipelines with stage names remapped per pipeline. Closed-won and closed-lost stages added per HubSpot convention. Stage ordering and probability weights are set according to your HubSpot pipeline configuration, ensuring accurate forecasts and reporting from day one.
SendPulse
Task
HubSpot
Engagement (Timeline Event)
1:1SendPulse tasks (calls, meetings, to-dos) migrate as HubSpot Timeline events with original timestamps, subject lines, owner email resolution, and linked contact or deal associations preserved. Each event type (call, meeting, or to-do) is tagged with a specific HubSpot engagement type, and any missing owners are logged for manual assignment post-migration.
SendPulse
Email campaign engagement history
HubSpot
Engagement (Timeline Event / Note)
1:1SendPulse email open and click events become HubSpot Timeline events linked to the Contact. Original event timestamps and campaign names preserved. Volume of events can affect migration duration significantly. We also record the engagement type as a custom property, allowing you to filter and report on email interactions within HubSpot's analytics dashboards.
SendPulse
Chatbot conversation logs
HubSpot
Note (custom reference record)
1:1SendPulse chatbot conversation logs have no native HubSpot equivalent. We export them as structured Note records in HubSpot with original timestamps, bot name, and full conversation text for reference. These notes are searchable in HubSpot and can be linked to the associated contact record, providing a complete view of each chatbot interaction.
SendPulse
SMS campaign engagement
HubSpot
Engagement (Timeline Event)
1:1SendPulse SMS campaign sends and responses migrate as HubSpot Timeline events with Type=SMS, original timestamps, and linked contact associations preserved. Each SMS event captures the message content, direction (sent or received), and any UTM parameters present, enabling detailed reporting on SMS performance within HubSpot's analytics suite.
SendPulse
Custom field (contact-level)
HubSpot
Custom property (Contact)
1:1SendPulse per-contact custom fields become HubSpot Contact properties. If a property name already exists in HubSpot, we map to it; if not, we create a new HubSpot property with the appropriate type before migration. All custom field values are transferred as-is, preserving data integrity and enabling immediate reporting post-migration.
SendPulse
Automation 360 flow definitions
HubSpot
Not applicable
1:1SendPulse Automation 360 flows (email sequences, trigger-based flows, A/B branches) do not migrate. We export flow definitions as a JSON reference file your HubSpot admin uses to rebuild each automation in HubSpot's workflow editor. The export includes trigger conditions, branch logic, and A/B test configurations, giving your team a comprehensive blueprint for reconstruction.
SendPulse
Subscriber / contact statistics
HubSpot
Custom properties on Contact
1:1SendPulse per-contact engagement statistics (email sent count, open count, click count, last email date) migrate as HubSpot custom number or date properties on the Contact record for reporting continuity. These properties allow you to track contact engagement trends, measure email campaign effectiveness, and segment contacts based on historical activity within HubSpot.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
SendPulse gotchas
Automation 360 flows have no API export endpoint
Email send restrictions and moderation delays are common
Unique subscriber billing count differs from raw list size
Hidden product integration fields are not visible in standard export
Overdue payments deactivate the entire plan, not just one tool
HubSpot gotchas
Marketing Contacts billing model is migration-critical
Feature tier gating is not visible until onboarding
Mandatory onboarding fees inflate year-one cost
HubSpot CSV importer cannot migrate engagements or attachments
Custom objects require Enterprise and a pre-existing schema
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Extract SendPulse data via API and CSV export
FlitStack AI connects to SendPulse's REST API and CSV export endpoints to pull all contact records, company records, deals, tasks, and engagement history. We validate the extracted schema against SendPulse's documented data model, count record volumes per object type, and document any custom per-contact fields encountered. This inventory drives the field-mapping plan and scope estimate. The extraction also captures metadata such as creation dates, owner identifiers, and custom field data types, ensuring a complete picture for mapping decisions.
Map SendPulse schema to HubSpot objects and create missing HubSpot properties
We map each SendPulse object type to its HubSpot equivalent (contact to Contact, company to Company, deal to Deal, task to Engagement). We identify which SendPulse custom fields have no matching HubSpot property and create the missing HubSpot properties with the appropriate type before migration begins. We also map SendPulse pipeline names to your designated HubSpot pipelines with stage-name remapping configured.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, deals, and a selection of tasks — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing every source field value and its destination counterpart so you can verify company associations, deal stage mapping, owner resolution, and custom property handling before the full migration runs. You approve the sample before we proceed to the full cutover.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
The full migration loads all validated records into HubSpot. A 24–48-hour delta-pickup window captures any contacts, companies, or deals created or modified in SendPulse during the cutover. Every operation is logged in an audit trail with source record ID, destination record ID, and timestamp. If reconciliation fails, one-click rollback reverts the destination to its pre-migration state. The rollback capability ensures data integrity and minimizes risk during the transition, giving your team confidence to proceed with the cutover.
