Overview
Systeme.io stores contact records with tag-based segmentation, deal pipelines, and transaction history in a simplified CRM model. HubSpot splits contacts into a lifecycle-stage model with native lead/contact distinction, manages deals as Opportunities tied to Pipelines with stage-level probability, and uses Lists for segment-based targeting. We migrate all systeme.io contact properties including custom fields, company associations, deal records with pipeline stage history, and transaction links to contacts and products. We preserve original creation timestamps and owner assignments so your HubSpot reports show continuity from day one. Systeme.io funnels, pages, automation sequences, and email campaigns have no equivalent in HubSpot's object model — we export definitions as rebuild reference, but those must be reconstructed in HubSpot's builder. Our migration uses systeme.io's API to extract records and HubSpot's Bulk Import API to write them, with scoped read access so your team keeps working in systeme.io through the cutover window. Custom property mapping is type-aware, tags are translated to list memberships and a custom property, and each pipeline stage is mapped with probability re-applied in HubSpot's configuration. Delta changes made during the cutover are captured in a follow‑up sync before final DNS switch‑over.
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 Systeme IO 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.
Systeme IO
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Direct 1:1 map. systeme.io contact properties migrate as HubSpot contact properties. Email, name, phone, address, and custom properties carry over directly. Tags become HubSpot list memberships or a custom multi-value property. We also map the original contact creation timestamp to Original_Create_Date__c, and assign each contact an owner based on systeme.io user email if present.
Systeme IO
Contact (subscriber/lifecycle-aware)
HubSpot
Contact + Lead
1:manysysteme.io does not have a separate lead object. We use a lifecycle signal — if the contact has ever purchased or enrolled in a product, they land as HubSpot Contact. Contacts without purchase activity can optionally route to HubSpot Lead based on your HubSpot setup. We surface this as a migration planning decision before the run.
Systeme IO
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Direct 1:1 map. systeme.io companies with domain, industry, and employee data migrate to HubSpot Companies. Contact-to-company associations preserved as primary company link plus additional associated companies on the contact record. We preserve the original company creation date as Original_Company_Create_Date__c, map industry picklist values, and flag any duplicate domain entries for HubSpot admin review.
Systeme IO
Deal / Pipeline
HubSpot
Deal / Opportunity + Pipeline
1:1Each systeme.io pipeline becomes a HubSpot Pipeline. Deal stage names map to HubSpot deal stage names via a value-mapping table. Stage probability re-applied from HubSpot's stage configuration. Original stage-entered timestamps preserved as custom datetime fields on the deal record. Owner assignments are carried over based on owner email match, and any unmatched owners are flagged for manual assignment before the run.
Systeme IO
Tag
HubSpot
HubSpot List / Contact Property
1:1systeme.io tags are dynamic and applied via automation. HubSpot Lists are static snapshots. We map tags to HubSpot list memberships (for segment-based campaigns) and also as a custom contact property (Tag_List__c) preserving the full tag string so you can rebuild dynamic segmentation in HubSpot workflows.
Systeme IO
Product
HubSpot
Product + Line Item
1:1systeme.io products map directly to HubSpot Products. Price and billing frequency migrate to HubSpot product pricing. For products with multiple billing tiers, we create separate HubSpot products or use product variants if your HubSpot plan supports them. We also ensure product SKU is stored in the hs_sku field for inventory integration.
Systeme IO
Transaction
HubSpot
Line Item + Custom Fields on Contact
1:1systeme.io transactions have no direct HubSpot equivalent. We create Line Items linked to Deals, preserving amount, currency, payment status, and coupon codes as custom properties. Transaction ID stored as an external reference for reconciliation. The line item also records the original transaction date as Original_Transaction_Date__c for historical timeline accuracy.
Systeme IO
Automation / Sequence
HubSpot
None
1:1systeme.io automation sequences run on systeme.io's workflow engine with tag triggers and email actions. HubSpot's automation model uses workflows with enrollment criteria, branching, and action nodes. We export your automation definitions as a JSON reference document for rebuild in HubSpot's workflow builder.
Systeme IO
Funnel / Page
HubSpot
None
1:1systeme.io funnels and landing pages are systeme.io-hosted assets with no HubSpot equivalent. We do not migrate pages. Your funnel URLs and page content should be archived or rebuilt in HubSpot's landing page builder or your web stack. We preserve funnel names as a custom field on migrated deals for attribution reference.
Systeme IO
Email Campaign
HubSpot
None
1:1systeme.io email campaigns with templates, subject lines, and send history have no HubSpot equivalent for migration. Email templates from systeme.io can be exported as HTML and rebuilt in HubSpot's email tool. Send history (open/click logs) are not transferred; HubSpot starts fresh tracking from the migration date.
Systeme IO
Custom Property (Contact)
HubSpot
Custom Property on Contact
1:1systeme.io contact custom properties map to HubSpot custom contact properties. Field type determines mapping: text to single-line text, number to number, date to date, and picklist to HubSpot dropdown. We create the destination property in HubSpot before the migration run.
Systeme IO
Custom Property (Deal)
HubSpot
Custom Property on Deal
1:1systeme.io deal custom properties migrate to HubSpot deal custom properties with type-aware mapping. Notes fields that contain formatting may require reformatting after import. We flag any custom deal properties that exceed HubSpot's character limits for review before migration. We also verify field names for uniqueness and ensure they comply with HubSpot's naming conventions.
Systeme IO
Membership / Course Enrollment
HubSpot
Custom Fields on Contact
1:1systeme.io course enrollments and community memberships map to custom contact properties (Course_Enrolled__c, Community_Member__c) with Yes/No or date values. Full course progress history is not preserved — enrollment status at migration time transfers as a snapshot. If a contact has multiple enrollments, each course name is stored as a separate entry in the property value list.
Systeme IO
Affiliate Program Data
HubSpot
Custom Fields on Contact
1:1systeme.io affiliate links and commission history migrate as contact properties. Active affiliate status transfers as a boolean flag. Historical commission data transfers as a custom number field if available in the export. Full affiliate reporting must be rebuilt in HubSpot or a dedicated affiliate tool.
Systeme IO
Owner / User
HubSpot
Owner (matched by email)
1:1systeme.io user accounts matched to HubSpot users by email address. Unmatched owners flagged before migration — your team must create HubSpot user accounts for them or assign their records to a fallback owner. Owner assignment on migrated deals resolves to the matched HubSpot user.

Migration approach
Discovery and export planning
We connect to systeme.io via API using scoped read access. We export all contacts with properties, companies, deals with pipeline stage history, products, transactions, and the full tag taxonomy. We identify which tags map to list memberships versus custom properties, flag any custom fields with type mismatches, and surface pipeline-to-pipeline mapping requirements. We deliver a pre-flight checklist showing record counts per object, tag cardinality, and any API-level constraints from your plan tier before extraction begins.
Schema setup in HubSpot
Your HubSpot admin creates the custom properties we identified in discovery — Original_Create_Date__c, Original_Funnel__c, Tag_List__c, Transaction_Status__c, and others. We provide the exact property names, types, and group assignments. Pipelines and deal stages are created in HubSpot matching the value-mapping table from discovery. Lifecycle stage workflows are configured to set Customer status based on purchase history. We verify the schema before data lands.
Test migration with field-level diff
We run a sample migration using 100–300 representative records across contacts, companies, deals, and a few transactions. We generate a field-level diff comparing systeme.io source values against HubSpot destination values so you can verify tag mapping, stage mapping, and timestamp preservation before the full run commits. You approve the test results or request adjustments to the mapping table. No full migration begins until the test run is signed off.
Full migration with delta pickup
The full dataset migrates to HubSpot via Bulk Import API. Your team continues working in systeme.io during the run — scoped read access means no disruption to your active business. We apply a delta pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial run to capture any records modified in systeme.io during cutover. All operations are logged in an audit file. If reconciliation finds discrepancies, one-click rollback reverts the import so you can correct and re-run.
Reconciliation and handoff
We reconcile record counts: total contacts imported versus systeme.io export total, total deals imported versus deal export total, and transaction amount sum versus imported line item total. We surface any records that failed to import with error reasons. We hand off the automation rebuild reference document (systeme.io sequences exported as JSON), the value-mapping table, and a post-migration checklist covering HubSpot integrations to reconnect, workflows to rebuild, and reports to update.
