Overview
Spotler CRM and HubSpot share a similar object model — contacts, companies, deals, activities, and custom fields — which makes the data migration structurally straightforward. The complexity comes from HubSpot's lifecycle stage system (subscriber, lead, MQL, SQL, customer, evangelist) which has no direct Spotler equivalent, and HubSpot's deal pipeline configuration where each pipeline becomes its own HubSpot deal pipeline with stage values that need value-by-value mapping. We sequence the migration as: organizations → companies, then contacts, then deals with owner resolution by email match. Activities (calls, emails, meetings, notes) migrate with original timestamps and owner links preserved. HubSpot's workflow and automation system has no Spotler counterpart — both platforms require rebuilding automations from scratch, and we export your Spotler automation definitions as a rebuild reference. Custom fields migrate as HubSpot custom properties; pick-list values require value-mapping setup per field. In addition, Spotler record IDs are stored on HubSpot properties for traceability, and multi-select pick-list fields are translated to HubSpot multi-checkbox properties to retain all selected values.
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 Spotler 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.
Spotler CRM
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Spotler contacts map directly to HubSpot contacts. HubSpot's lifecycle stage property (lifecycle_stage) is set based on Spotler's contact status value — we map each Spotler status pick-list value to the nearest HubSpot lifecycle stage and flag unmapped values before migration runs.
Spotler CRM
Organization
HubSpot
Company
1:1Spotler organizations map to HubSpot companies. Parent-child organization hierarchies in Spotler preserve via HubSpot's 'parent company' association. Multi-contact organizations collapse to one primary company with all contact associations preserved in HubSpot's company-contact relationship model. If an organization has multiple branch offices represented as separate records, each branch is linked to the parent company in HubSpot, ensuring a clean hierarchical view for reporting.
Spotler CRM
Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Spotler deals map to HubSpot deals. Each Spotler pipeline maps to a separate HubSpot pipeline with its own stage set. Stage names require value-by-value mapping — we extract Spotler's stage names and create corresponding HubSpot pipeline stages, preserving stage order and probability weights as custom fields.
Spotler CRM
Quotation
HubSpot
Deal + Line Items
1:1Spotler's built-in quotations (line items + PDF generation) transform to HubSpot deal line items. The quotation header fields map to deal properties; line items map to HubSpot line item objects associated with the deal. PDF generation requires HubSpot Sales Hub Professional or higher — flagged before migration.
Spotler CRM
Case
HubSpot
Ticket
1:1Spotler cases map to HubSpot tickets. Case status (open, pending, resolved) maps to HubSpot ticket status (open, closed). Case priority maps to HubSpot ticket priority (low, medium, high, urgent). Case owner resolves by email match against HubSpot owners. When multiple cases share the same subject, they are linked via HubSpot's association API to keep related tickets grouped for efficient support handling.
Spotler CRM
Activity (Call)
HubSpot
Engagement (Call)
1:1Spotler logged calls map to HubSpot call engagements with original call date, duration, and outcome preserved. Call notes migrate as engagement metadata. Owner resolves by email match — unmatched owners attach to a migration service account for review. If a call was logged under a deleted Spotler user, the engagement is assigned to a designated migration placeholder, and the original owner email is stored in a custom property for reference.
Spotler CRM
Activity (Email)
HubSpot
Engagement (Email)
1:1Spotler logged emails (via MailSync or manual log) map to HubSpot email engagements. Subject, body preview, and timestamp preserved. HubSpot's email tracking flag (email_open, email_click) is set based on Spotler's tracking data where available. For emails without tracking info, we set the engagement source to 'imported' so your team can differentiate migrated records from new inbound messages.
Spotler CRM
Activity (Meeting)
HubSpot
Engagement (Meeting)
1:1Spotler meetings map to HubSpot meeting engagements with original start/end times, location, and title preserved. Attendee list maps to contact associations on the meeting engagement. If a meeting includes external participants without existing HubSpot contacts, we create placeholder contacts linked to the meeting so you can follow up later.
Spotler CRM
Note
HubSpot
Engagement (Note)
1:1Spotler notes map to HubSpot notes. Rich-text formatting in Spotler notes is preserved as HTML content in HubSpot notes. Notes attached to specific contacts or deals link via HubSpot's association model. Any embedded images or file attachments within notes are re-uploaded to HubSpot Files and linked back to the note for complete reference.
Spotler CRM
Document / Attachment
HubSpot
File
1:1Spotler document attachments on contacts, organizations, and deals re-upload to HubSpot Files. File associations link to the parent record in HubSpot. File size limits apply (HubSpot caps at 25MB per file) — files over limit are flagged for chunking or alternative delivery.
Spotler CRM
User / Owner
HubSpot
Owner
1:1Spotler users resolve to HubSpot owners by email match. Unmatched Spotler users are flagged before migration — your team either invites them to HubSpot or reassigns records to an existing owner. Archived/inactive Spotler users attach to a migration service account.
Spotler CRM
Custom Field (any object)
HubSpot
Custom Property
1:1Spotler custom fields map to HubSpot custom properties. Property type is preserved (text → string, number → number, date → date, pick-list → enumeration). Multi-select pick-lists in Spotler map to HubSpot multi-checkbox properties. Custom field labels and help text are preserved for rebuild reference.
Spotler CRM
Workflow / Automation
HubSpot
Workflow (manual rebuild required)
1:1Spotler automations (triggers, conditions, actions) do not migrate. We export your Spotler automation definitions as a structured document — trigger types, conditions, and action sequences — for your HubSpot admin to rebuild as HubSpot workflows. The export is delivered alongside the migration plan.
Spotler CRM
Report / Dashboard
HubSpot
Report (manual rebuild required)
1:1Spotler custom reports and dashboards do not migrate. The underlying data (contacts, deals, activities) is in HubSpot, but report configurations and chart layouts must be rebuilt. We flag which HubSpot native reports cover the same metrics as your Spotler reports.

Migration approach
Audit Spotler data and extract object inventory
FlitStack AI connects to Spotler via API using your account credentials. We extract the full object inventory — contacts, organizations, deals, cases, activities, custom fields, and owner list — and generate a data quality report. This report flags: contacts without email addresses, deals without owners, organizations exceeding your Spotler plan cap, and custom field pick-list values that need HubSpot lifecycle stage mapping. No data leaves your environment during the audit phase.
Build field mapping plan with value-mapping tables
We generate a field-level mapping document for every Spotler object. For standard fields (firstname, email, phone, deal amount), mapping is direct. For pick-list fields (contact status, deal stage, case priority), we build a value-mapping table per field. For Spotler contact status specifically, we propose lifecycle stage assignments based on your pick-list values and flag unmapped statuses for your team to decide. The mapping plan is reviewed by your admin before migration runs.
Resolve owners by email and flag unresolved users
Spotler users are matched to HubSpot owners by email address. For each Spotler user with records, we check for a matching HubSpot user. Unmatched users are listed with their record counts — your team either invites them to HubSpot first or reassigns their records to a fallback owner. No record migrates without a resolved HubSpot owner. This step runs before any data movement so owner gaps are closed before the migration window.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice (typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, organizations, deals, and activities) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff showing every source value and its destination counterpart — you verify lifecycle stage assignments, pipeline-to-stage mapping, owner resolution, and timestamp preservation. Any mapping errors are corrected before the full run. Sample migration also surfaces records with missing required fields in HubSpot.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full data migration runs in staged batches: organizations first (HubSpot companies), then contacts, then deals with pipeline mapping, then cases and activities. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours after full migration completion) captures any records modified in Spotler during cutover. Audit log records every operation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails — rolling back does not affect your Spotler source data.
