Overview
Simpleview CRM is purpose-built for destination marketing organizations, convention bureaus, and tourism boards. Its object model centers on Members, Listings, Contacts, Events, and Coupons — plus custom fields prefixed by FieldCategory labels like Custom_Account and Amenity. HubSpot's CRM uses Contacts, Companies, Deals, Tickets, and custom objects with a flat properties model in snake_case. The migration requires mapping Simpleview's Member entity to HubSpot Companies, translating Custom_Account field categories into HubSpot custom properties, routing Contacts with a primary MemberId to their correct Company lookup, and deciding whether Events and Coupons live as HubSpot custom objects or custom properties. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve in the right order: Companies first, then Contacts, then Deals and custom objects. We export Simpleview data via its SOAP or XML API, transform field-category prefixes into clean HubSpot property names, and load through HubSpot's Contacts API v3 or bulk import. Workflows, automations, and event-service logic do not migrate — we export those definitions as a rebuild reference for your HubSpot admin.
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 Simpleview 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.
Simpleview CRM
Member
HubSpot
Company
1:1Simpleview Members map directly to HubSpot Companies. The MemberId becomes a custom property (Simpleview_Member_ID__c) for traceability and to enable delta-run deduplication on subsequent migrations. Custom_Account fields from Simpleview translate to HubSpot custom company properties, stripping the FieldCategory prefix. Primary contact assignment uses HubSpot's primary company association.
Simpleview CRM
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Simpleview Contacts map 1:1 to HubSpot Contacts. The Contact's MemberId lookup resolves to a HubSpot Company ID after the Member-to-Company migration completes. Email is the primary deduplication key. Contacts without a primary MemberId attach to a default HubSpot company or are flagged for manual review.
Simpleview CRM
Listing
HubSpot
Custom Object: Listing (Enterprise tier) or custom company properties
1:1Simpleview Listings store rich partner-attraction data with amenity fields. HubSpot has no native listing object. At Sales Hub Professional and above, we create a HubSpot custom object named Listing with properties mirroring Simpleview's listing attributes. At lower tiers, Listing data collapses into Company properties or a structured property group on the Company record.
Simpleview CRM
Event
HubSpot
Custom Object: Event (Enterprise) or Deal with custom properties
1:1Simpleview Event records track group business, conventions, and sports tournaments with venue, date, and bid-status fields. HubSpot has no native event concept. We create a HubSpot custom object named Event with event_type, venue_name, bid_status, and expected_attendees as properties. Alternatively, Events map to HubSpot Deals with a custom event_type property group when custom objects are not available in the current HubSpot tier.
Simpleview CRM
Coupon
HubSpot
Custom Object: Promotion or custom deal properties
1:1Simpleview Coupon records track partner co-op offers with redemption dates and categories. We create a HubSpot custom object named Promotion mapping CouponID, AcctID, RedeemStart, RedeemEnd, OfferTitle, and OfferText to equivalent custom properties. Redemption status is tracked via a custom pick-list field updated through HubSpot workflows post-migration.
Simpleview CRM
Custom_Account field group
HubSpot
Company custom properties
1:1Every non-multi-select custom field in Simpleview with FieldCategory = Custom_Account creates a corresponding HubSpot custom property on Company. We strip the prefix, convert FieldName to snake_case, and infer the property type (text, number, date, pick-list) from Simpleview's data type. Multi-select fields (Custom_Account_MS) become HubSpot multi-checkbox properties.
Simpleview CRM
Amenity field group
HubSpot
Company multi-checkbox or custom properties
1:1Simpleview Amenity fields (amenity checkboxes per listing) map to HubSpot multi-checkbox properties on the Company or Listing custom object. Amenity_MS fields create HubSpot multi-checkbox properties; single-select Amenity fields create HubSpot single-checkbox boolean properties named after the amenity label. All amenity property names are derived from the Simpleview FieldName value, converted to snake_case.
Simpleview CRM
Contact (owner)
HubSpot
Contact owner field
1:1Simpleview owner assignment is stored per record. We resolve Simpleview owner email addresses against HubSpot user emails. Unmatched owners are flagged and assigned to a fallback HubSpot owner. Owner history is preserved as a custom text property (Original_Owner_Email__c) for audit purposes.
Simpleview CRM
Attachment/File (on Member or Contact)
HubSpot
HubSpot Files (on Company or Contact)
1:1Simpleview file attachments on Member or Contact records are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files, associated to the corresponding Company or Contact record. File size limits apply per HubSpot tier. Inline images in notes are extracted and rehosted as HubSpot file attachments.
Simpleview CRM
Workflow / Automation
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflow (must be rebuilt)
1:1Simpleview workflow definitions — event-service triggers, bid-stage automations, and membership renewal sequences — do not migrate. We export Simpleview workflow definitions as a structured JSON reference document so your HubSpot admin can rebuild them in HubSpot's workflow builder. Automation logic tied to DMO-specific field categories must be translated manually.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discover Simpleview API configuration and audit data volume
We connect to your Simpleview SOAP or XML API using your client-specific endpoint and credentials to assess export capability. We run a field inventory against every object (Member, Contact, Listing, Event, Coupon) to count records, identify custom field groups by FieldCategory prefix, and confirm which objects have attachments. This step produces the migration scope document and identifies any Granicus-layer API variants before we commit to a timeline.
Create HubSpot custom objects and properties
Before data moves, we create the HubSpot custom objects (Listing, Event, Promotion) and all custom properties required for Custom_Account and Amenity field groups. We build the property translation map that strips Simpleview FieldCategory prefixes and converts FieldName labels to snake_case HubSpot property names. If your HubSpot tier does not support custom objects, we configure the property-collapse schema on Company and Deal records instead.
Resolve owner and contact associations by email
We match Simpleview owner email addresses against HubSpot user email addresses to resolve the OwnerId for each record. Contacts without a resolvable MemberId are flagged before migration — your team either creates the missing Company association or assigns them to a default organization. We sequence the migration so Member-to-Company records land first, then Contact-to-Company associations resolve against them in the second pass.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 200–500 records spanning Members, Contacts, Listings, Events, and Coupons across multiple FieldCategory groups. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against the HubSpot destination so you can verify custom property translation, pick-list value mapping, multi-checkbox amenity fields, and date field formatting before the full run commits. This sample validation also confirms that record associations resolve correctly and that any custom object schemas (Listing, Event, Promotion) are configured with the correct property types and required-field constraints.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full dataset loads into HubSpot via the Contacts API v3 or bulk CSV import with association records. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after the initial load) captures any Simpleview records modified or created during the cutover. We surface delta records in a reconciliation report and apply them to HubSpot before sign-off. One-click rollback reverts the HubSpot environment to pre-migration state if validation fails.
