Overview
Tofu and HubSpot both manage contacts, companies, and campaigns, but the platforms diverge sharply on automation model, object hierarchy, and pricing tiers. Tofu organizes demand-gen activity around sequences and campaign playbooks; HubSpot ties contacts to lifecycle stages and companies with a flat association model. FlitStack AI migrates contacts with all standard and custom properties intact, maps company data to HubSpot's Companies object, translates campaign metadata into HubSpot's campaign records, and preserves engagement scoring and intent signals as custom properties. Tofu sequences — the automation backbone for outbound cadences — have no direct HubSpot equivalent; those must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder. We use Tofu's REST API to extract data, apply field-level mapping to HubSpot's standard and custom properties, and bulk-load via HubSpot's import API. All migrations include a sample pass with field-level diff before the full run, and a delta-pickup window captures any records created during cutover so HubSpot reflects Tofu's final state at go-live.
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 Tofu 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.
Tofu
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Tofu contacts map directly to HubSpot contacts, preserving standard fields like name, email, phone, and job title. Custom engagement scores, intent signals, and UTM strings are migrated as HubSpot custom properties (engagement_score__c, intent_signals__c, campaign_utms__c). Tofu contact‑to‑account associations map to HubSpot's primary company association; any secondary links are flagged for manual review. Original create date and last‑modified timestamp are stored in custom datetime fields (original_create_date__c, original_last_modified_date__c) for historical context.
Tofu
Account
HubSpot
Company
1:1Tofu accounts migrate to HubSpot companies, mapping fields such as industry, employee count, and revenue range to HubSpot's company properties. We apply domain‑based duplicate detection to prevent duplicate records when Tofu accounts share the same domain. Multi‑account contacts collapse to a company with secondary associations; secondary links are flagged for review. Address fields map directly, and the original create date is preserved in a datetime field (original_create_date__c) for historical context.
Tofu
Campaign
HubSpot
Campaign
1:1Tofu campaign metadata—campaign name, status, start and end dates, budget—migrates as HubSpot campaign records, mapping to HubSpot’s standard campaign properties (hs_campaign_name, hs_campaign_status, hs_start_date, hs_end_date, hs_campaign_budget). Tofu’s targeting criteria and audience segmentation have no HubSpot equivalent and are not migrated; FlitStack exports them as a JSON reference for rebuilding audiences as HubSpot lists or smart lists after migration. Original campaign IDs are stored in a custom property (original_campaign_id__c) for cross‑system reference.
Tofu
Sequence
HubSpot
Workflow (rebuild required)
1:1Tofu sequences have no direct HubSpot equivalent, as they combine multi‑step outbound cadences, conditional routing, and contact‑level triggers. FlitStack exports the sequence definition—including step order, step types (email, call, task, delay), conditions, and branch logic—as a JSON file. Your HubSpot admin can use this JSON to rebuild each sequence as a HubSpot workflow, re‑creating email templates, task assignments, and delay durations in HubSpot’s workflow builder. The export also preserves step‑level tags or scoring actions for re‑implementation.
Tofu
Engagement Score
HubSpot
Custom property (engagement_score__c)
1:1Tofu engagement scores are calculated metrics stored as custom properties on contacts. HubSpot does not have a native engagement‑score field, so we create engagement_score__c as a number custom property on the Contact object to preserve historical scoring values. During migration, the score from Tofu maps to engagement_score__c, and missing scores are set to zero. Your team can use engagement_score__c in HubSpot lists, workflows, or reports to replicate Tofu‑style lead prioritization.
Tofu
Campaign UTM / Attribution Data
HubSpot
Custom property (campaign_utms__c)
1:1UTM strings and attribution data attached to Tofu contacts migrate as a long‑text custom property (campaign_utms__c) on each contact record. This preserves source attribution, campaign tracking, and referral information for reporting continuity while your team builds HubSpot’s native attribution model. During migration, any empty or malformed UTM strings are cleaned and stored as‑is; the field is indexed for use in HubSpot’s reporting filters, lists, and workflow triggers based on source data.
Tofu
Intent Signal
HubSpot
Custom property (intent_signals__c)
1:1Tofu intent‑signal flags stored as contact properties migrate to a HubSpot custom text property (intent_signals__c). This preserves the original intent data for reference, even though HubSpot’s native intent signals typically come from third‑party providers or HubSpot’s own tracking. During migration, each Tofu flag is written as a comma‑separated string into intent_signals__c, allowing your team to filter contacts by historic intent, use the property in workflows for lead scoring, or compare it against HubSpot‑generated signals after go‑live.
Tofu
Tofu Custom Properties
HubSpot
HubSpot Custom Properties
1:1Any Tofu custom properties beyond engagement score and intent signals map to HubSpot custom properties by matching data type. Boolean, number, date, and text types map directly. Pick‑list types require value‑by‑value mapping between Tofu’s option labels and HubSpot’s pick‑list option labels.
Tofu
Engagement Activity (Call, Email, Meeting, Note)
HubSpot
Engagement records (Calls, Emails, Meetings, Notes)
1:1Tofu engagement activities (calls, emails, meetings, notes) with timestamps and owner attribution migrate to HubSpot's engagement objects. Original timestamps and owner email addresses are preserved. FlitStack resolves owner emails to HubSpot user records before inserting.
Tofu
Contact-Campaign Membership
HubSpot
Campaign Member association
1:1Tofu records which contacts are members of which campaigns. This migrates as HubSpot campaign membership associations on the Campaign object. HubSpot’s campaign membership does not carry per‑contact engagement scores from Tofu; those scores are stored separately as the engagement_score__c custom property. After migration, your team can use HubSpot’s campaign membership views to see which contacts belong to each campaign, and filter by the original Tofu membership date stored in original_campaign_member_date__c if needed.

Tofu gotchas
No public API documentation or published rate limits
Content Assets are platform-hosted binaries not separately exported
Playbook branching logic maps imperfectly to most destination CRMs
HubSpot gotchas
Marketing Contacts billing model is migration-critical
Feature tier gating is not visible until onboarding
Mandatory onboarding fees inflate year-one cost
HubSpot CSV importer cannot migrate engagements or attachments
Custom objects require Enterprise and a pre-existing schema
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Tofu data model and export API constraints
FlitStack connects to Tofu's REST API to audit available objects, custom properties, and engagement records. We identify any API pagination limits or export throttling that affect bulk retrieval strategy. We also assess whether Tofu requires custom scripting for bulk export or supports native CSV export — this determines whether the migration runs as a direct API-to-API pipeline or requires an intermediate staging step before HubSpot ingestion.
Map Tofu objects and properties to HubSpot schema
We map Tofu contacts, accounts, campaigns, and custom properties to HubSpot objects and properties. Standard fields such as names, emails, and company data map directly to HubSpot’s corresponding properties. Tofu engagement scores, intent signals, and UTM strings generate new HubSpot custom properties (engagement_score__c, intent_signals__c, campaign_utms__c). Tofu sequences have no HubSpot equivalent and are therefore extracted as a structured JSON reference and flagged for manual rebuild in HubSpot’s workflow builder. All property mappings are captured in a field‑level spreadsheet that includes data‑type checks, pick‑list value translations, and any custom‑field creation steps, which your team reviews and approves before migration runs.
Migrate accounts and companies first, then contacts and campaigns
HubSpot requires companies to exist before contacts can associate via the primary company field, and it enforces referential integrity for contact‑to‑company links. We sequence the migration as follows: first, Tofu accounts are extracted and bulk‑loaded into HubSpot Companies using HubSpot’s import API, applying duplicate detection and preserving firmographic properties. Next, contacts are migrated and linked to those companies as the primary association, with secondary company relationships flagged for review. Finally, campaign metadata and engagement records (calls, emails, meetings, notes) are loaded, completing the object hierarchy. This approach maintains foreign‑key integrity, prevents orphaned associations, and provides a foundation for workflow rebuilds.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A slice of 100–500 records migrates first — spanning contacts across lifecycle stages, accounts with multiple custom properties, campaign records, and engagement history. The sample covers data types, including pick‑list values, dates, and multi‑value fields, so the diff captures translation edge cases. We generate a field‑level diff that pairs each source value in Tofu with the corresponding destination in HubSpot, highlighting discrepancies in custom‑property mapping, engagement‑score translation, and account association. The diff report is delivered as a spreadsheet for your team to review before the run commits. Mapping errors can be corrected in the spreadsheet and re‑validated in a pass.
Cut over with delta-pickup for in-flight records
After full migration completes, a delta window captures any contacts, accounts, or campaign memberships created or modified in Tofu during the cutover. FlitStack applies a final delta import so HubSpot reflects Tofu's exact state at go-live. All operations are logged to an audit trail, and one-click rollback reverts the HubSpot environment to its pre-migration state if reconciliation identifies data integrity issues.
