Overview
Spotler Mail+ organizes data around contacts, companies, mailing engagement, forms, and audience segments — a model that maps cleanly to HubSpot's CRM objects with targeted custom properties for the behavioral data that has no native HubSpot equivalent. We export Spotler contacts with their standard fields (name, email, phone, address), their associated company, behavioral metrics (opens, clicks, bounces, last activity date), tags, and scores. Spotler audiences (selections) map to HubSpot lists — you choose which contacts land in which list based on a Spotler field value or tag. HubSpot lifecycle stages are applied based on subscription status and engagement depth. Custom Spotler fields and properties migrate as HubSpot custom properties, type-aligned (text, number, date, checkbox). Workflows, email templates, and automation logic in Spotler do not migrate — we document your Spotler workflow triggers and conditions as a rebuild reference for HubSpot Sequences or the automation editor. The migration uses a staged approach: schema preparation in HubSpot, data extraction and cleaning from Spotler via its REST API, test migration with field-level diff, full migration, and a 24–48 hour delta window to capture in-flight changes during cutover.
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 Mail+ 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 Mail+
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Spotler contacts map 1:1 to HubSpot contacts. Standard fields (firstname, lastname, email, phone, jobtitle, address) move directly. Custom Spotler contact properties migrate as HubSpot custom properties. Contacts without an email address are flagged for review before migration — HubSpot requires an email for most automation triggers.
Spotler Mail+
Contact.tags
HubSpot
Custom property on Contact
1:1Spotler tags are stored as comma‑separated strings on each contact record. We map each distinct tag to a HubSpot custom property of Text type, preserving the original tag list. Optionally, we generate HubSpot static lists for each tag value, allowing segmentation logic to be applied using HubSpot's native list model without needing to parse raw tag text.
Spotler Mail+
Contact.score
HubSpot
Custom property on Contact (HubSpot Lead Score)
1:1Spotler contact scoring migrates as a custom Number property on the HubSpot contact. If your team uses HubSpot's native lead scoring, we map Spotler scores into that field. If Spotler uses multiple score dimensions, each maps to a separate HubSpot custom property.
Spotler Mail+
Contact.subscription_status
HubSpot
Contact.subscriptions (HubSpot email marketing status)
1:1Spotler subscription statuses (subscribed, unsubscribed, pending, bounced) map directly to HubSpot subscription type values for each contact. The value mapping preserves the opt‑in/opt‑out state and the exact timestamp of the last status change, ensuring HubSpot respects unsubscribe preferences in outbound email campaigns. Pending and bounced states are also carried over as separate subscription type options to maintain accurate contact communication rights.
Spotler Mail+
Mailing engagement (opens, clicks, bounces)
HubSpot
Contact custom properties + Engagement records
1:1Spotler tracks opens, clicks, and bounces per contact per mailing. We store aggregate counts as custom number properties on the HubSpot contact (e.g., Total_Emails_Opened__c, Total_Clicks__c). If granular per-mailing history is critical, individual sends can be created as HubSpot engagement records with the mailing name, date, and outcome as properties.
Spotler Mail+
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Spotler companies map 1:1 to HubSpot companies, moving standard fields such as name, domain, industry, phone, address, employee count, and annual revenue directly. Spotler custom company fields are migrated as HubSpot custom properties on the Company object, type‑aligned (text, number, date, checkbox, dropdown). Required HubSpot properties are provisioned in advance so foreign‑key lookups and associations resolve correctly during the migration run.
Spotler Mail+
Contact–Company association
HubSpot
Contact–Company association
1:1Spotler links a contact to one primary company. This maps to HubSpot's contact-company association. HubSpot natively supports associating a contact with multiple companies via the 'associated company' property and the Company Contacts relationship — we set the Spotler primary company as the HubSpot primary association.
Spotler Mail+
Form Submission
HubSpot
Form Submission (engagement) + contact properties
1:1Spotler form submissions store field values and timestamps. We map submissions to HubSpot contacts with the form field data recorded as contact properties. If Spotler forms correspond to HubSpot forms, we create HubSpot forms and link submissions to the correct form ID — otherwise, submission data is preserved as custom contact properties.
Spotler Mail+
Audience (Selection)
HubSpot
HubSpot List (static or dynamic)
1:1Spotler audience segments (selections) are named groups with filter rules. We create HubSpot lists and populate them based on Spotler contact field values or tags that define membership. Dynamic list logic (Spotler's filter conditions) must be rebuilt in HubSpot's list filter builder — we provide a Spotler audience definition export as a rebuild reference.
Spotler Mail+
Owner / User
HubSpot
User (resolved by email)
1:1Spotler owner IDs resolve to HubSpot users by email address match. We generate a pre-flight owner resolution report before migration — any Spotler owner without a corresponding HubSpot user is flagged for your team to either invite them to HubSpot or assign their records to a fallback owner.
Spotler Mail+
Custom field (Spotler)
HubSpot
Custom property (HubSpot)
1:1Any Spotler custom contact or company fields migrate as HubSpot custom properties. We map the Spotler field type (text, number, date, checkbox, dropdown) to the corresponding HubSpot property type. Spotler dropdown values map as HubSpot dropdown option values. Required HubSpot properties are created before migration so foreign-key lookups resolve correctly.
Spotler Mail+
Spotler workflow definitions
HubSpot
N/A — not migrated
1:1Spotler workflows, automation rules, and email sequences do not transfer to HubSpot. HubSpot's automation model (Workflows, Sequences, Playbooks) must be rebuilt. We export Spotler workflow definitions with triggers, conditions, and actions as a structured reference document for your HubSpot admin.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Export Spotler data and audit for retention, completeness, and duplicates
We pull contacts, companies, form submissions, audience selections, and engagement metrics from Spotler Mail+ via its REST API (JSON). The audit phase checks which engagement records fall within Spotler's 24-month retention window, identifies contacts missing email addresses or with duplicate emails, and counts the distinct Spotler custom fields and audience selections that need HubSpot custom property and list creation. You receive a pre-migration data health report before any schema work begins in HubSpot.
Create HubSpot custom properties and lists from Spotler schema
We map Spotler custom contact and company fields to HubSpot custom properties, applying type alignment (Spotler text → HubSpot single-line text, Spotler number → HubSpot number, Spotler dropdown → HubSpot select). Spotler audience selections are exported as a definition document; we create HubSpot static lists and prepare a dynamic-list rebuild reference for each selection. Owner email addresses are matched against HubSpot users — unmatched owners are flagged for your team to invite to HubSpot before migration so no record lands without an owner.
Run sample migration with field-level diff on 100–500 representative records
A representative slice of Spotler records (contacts across different engagement levels, companies, form submissions, and at least one audience segment) migrates to your HubSpot portal. We generate a field-level diff report comparing source Spotler values against destination HubSpot values for every mapped field. You verify tag preservation, score mapping, subscription status mapping, company association resolution, and audience list population. No full migration runs until you sign off on the diff report.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window and audit log
Full Spotler dataset migrates to HubSpot: contacts with all standard and custom properties, companies, engagement activity records, form submissions, and list membership. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window opens at cutover — any Spotler contact modified or created during the migration run is captured in a second pass and merged into HubSpot. All migration operations are recorded in an audit log. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation against your Spotler pre-migration extract fails.
