Overview
Teams move from TeamWave to HubSpot when they need a purpose-built CRM with stronger marketing automation, scalable reporting, and an ecosystem of integrations. TeamWave combines CRM, project management, and HR in one platform — HubSpot focuses on CRM as its core competency. The migration carries everything TeamWave stores in its CRM objects (contacts, companies, deals, activities) into HubSpot's contact-company-deal model. The harder problems are mapping TeamWave's lifecycle stage to HubSpot's custom properties, preserving project-task relationships that have no native HubSpot CRM equivalent, and resolving TeamWave user assignments to HubSpot owners. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly — companies land first, then contacts, then deals — and runs a sample migration with field-level diff before committing the full load. Workflows, automations, and HR data do not migrate; we export definitions for rebuild reference. After the bulk load, a delta-pickup window captures any records created or modified in TeamWave during the cutover period, ensuring HubSpot reflects the final state at go-live. All original create dates, last-modified timestamps, and owner assignments are preserved as custom properties to maintain audit continuity. FlitStack AI generates a field-level diff report for each migrated object type, allowing your team to verify mapping accuracy before switching user access. The migration plan also includes a HubSpot tier recommendation based on record volume and required features, so cost implications are transparent from the start.
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 TeamWave 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.
TeamWave
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Direct map. TeamWave contacts migrate as HubSpot contacts with all standard properties. The primary company link maps as a HubSpot company association. Multi-company contacts (TeamWave allows linking a contact to multiple organizations) collapse to one primary company in HubSpot.
TeamWave
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Direct map. TeamWave companies migrate as HubSpot companies with all standard properties. Company hierarchies (parent-child) preserve using HubSpot's parent company lookup. Multi-branch organizations use the parent company link. All standard company fields such as industry, phone, and address are transferred as-is.
TeamWave
Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Direct map. TeamWave contacts migrate as HubSpot contacts with all standard properties. The primary company link maps as a HubSpot company association. Multi-company contacts (TeamWave allows linking a contact to multiple organizations) collapse to one primary company in HubSpot. Standard contact fields such as name, email, phone, and job title are transferred directly.
TeamWave
Pipeline Stage
HubSpot
Deal Stage
1:1Stage names map value-by-value from TeamWave pipeline stages to HubSpot deal stages. We preserve the stage order and probability percentage from TeamWave and apply them to the corresponding HubSpot stage. Teams can review the value map before migration commits. If stage names differ, we flag them for manual review to avoid data loss.
TeamWave
Lifecycle Stage
HubSpot
Custom Property (Lifecycle_Stage__c)
1:1HubSpot has no native lifecycle stage field. TeamWave lifecycle stage migrates as a custom pick-list property (Lifecycle_Stage__c) on both Contact and Deal. Original stage values are preserved verbatim. Stage-transition timestamps migrate as a secondary custom datetime property if TeamWave tracks them.
TeamWave
Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Note)
HubSpot
Call, Email, Meeting, Note
1:1TeamWave logged calls map to HubSpot calls, emails to HubSpot emails, meetings to HubSpot meetings, and notes to HubSpot notes. Original timestamps and owner assignments are preserved. Activity text content migrates as-is. Any attachments or call recordings associated with activities are also transferred, subject to HubSpot file size limits.
TeamWave
File / Attachment
HubSpot
File
1:1TeamWave file attachments on records re-upload to HubSpot Files and attach to the corresponding CRM record. Files under HubSpot's size limits (25MB per file) migrate directly. Files exceeding the limit are flagged for manual handling. We also verify file integrity after upload to ensure no corruption during transfer.
TeamWave
User / Owner
HubSpot
User
1:1TeamWave users resolve to HubSpot users by email match. We check each TeamWave owner email against HubSpot user accounts and flag unmatched owners before migration. Teams either invite the user to HubSpot first or reassign records to a designated fallback owner.
TeamWave
Project
HubSpot
Custom Object (or deal property)
1:1TeamWave project records have no native HubSpot CRM equivalent. Teams choose between three paths: create a HubSpot custom object for projects, add project reference as custom properties on the related deal, or handle project data in a separate project management tool post-migration. We surface the decision before migration runs.
TeamWave
Project Task / Sub-task
HubSpot
Task (or custom object)
1:1TeamWave tasks and sub-tasks attached to projects require a team decision on handling. Tasks linked to CRM records (contacts, deals) can migrate as HubSpot tasks with the project reference preserved as a custom property. Standalone project tasks may need a custom object or external reference list.
TeamWave
Employee / HR Record
HubSpot
No equivalent in HubSpot CRM
1:1TeamWave HR records have no HubSpot CRM equivalent. Employee data does not migrate to HubSpot CRM — teams handle this in HR tools outside HubSpot or manually recreate employee records if needed. We provide a structured export of HR data for reference.
TeamWave
Custom Property (CRM fields)
HubSpot
Custom Property
1:1TeamWave custom contact, company, and deal fields migrate as HubSpot custom properties. Type-aware mapping applies: date fields convert to HubSpot datetime format, number fields preserve as numeric, and pick-list fields require value-by-value mapping against the TeamWave option list. Any missing custom properties are created in HubSpot before the migration run begins.
TeamWave
Workflow / Automation
HubSpot
No equivalent — rebuild required
1:1TeamWave workflows and automations do not migrate. They have to be rebuilt in HubSpot using HubSpot Workflows and Sequences. We export your TeamWave workflow definitions as a structured reference document for your HubSpot admin to use during rebuild. The exported definitions include trigger events, conditions, and action steps for accurate recreation.

Migration approach
Data audit and mapping plan
FlitStack AI runs a discovery scan against your TeamWave account to catalog all CRM records (contacts, companies, deals, activities), custom fields, and pipeline configurations. We map each TeamWave field to its HubSpot equivalent and flag gaps (lifecycle stage, custom properties, project data) that require team decisions. The mapping plan is a shared document your team reviews before extraction begins. We also capture any existing TeamWave workflow definitions so your HubSpot admin can reference them during the rebuild phase.
Configure HubSpot schema
Before data moves, your HubSpot portal needs to be ready to receive it. We create the deal pipelines and stages that mirror TeamWave's pipeline configuration, set up custom properties for TeamWave fields without native HubSpot equivalents, and document which HubSpot tier features are needed for your migrated data. If you are on HubSpot Starter, we flag any data that requires Professional-tier features before it lands.
Resolve owners and validate data relationships
TeamWave users are matched to HubSpot users by email address. We run the owner resolution against your HubSpot user list and flag any TeamWave owner without a HubSpot account. Your team either invites that user to HubSpot or designates a fallback owner before migration. We also validate contact-company associations and deal-contact links to catch orphaned records before they load into HubSpot.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records migrates first — spanning contacts, companies, deals, and activities. We generate a field-level diff comparing TeamWave source values against the HubSpot destination fields so you can verify lifecycle stage mapping, stage name value mapping, owner resolution, and association fidelity before the full run commits. Any mapping errors surface here and get corrected before the bulk load.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and rollback
The full migration runs using the validated field mapping. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in TeamWave during the cutover window so HubSpot reflects the final state at go-live. FlitStack AI maintains a full audit log of every record written. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation finds critical issues — the system reverts the HubSpot portal to its pre-migration state without data loss on either side.
