Overview
Workpex organizes sales activity around leads and tasks with a flat pipeline model, while HubSpot CRM uses lifecycle stages as the unifying property across contacts, companies, and deals. The migration from Workpex to HubSpot carries contacts, companies, deals, activities, and custom fields into HubSpot's object graph, applying HubSpot's association labels and pipeline stages as the destination schema. The primary translation work involves mapping Workpex lead statuses to HubSpot lifecycle stages, flattening Workpex's task reminders into HubSpot's activity timeline, and resolving owner emails against HubSpot user accounts. Workpex workflows, reminders, and call-recording metadata do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in HubSpot's automation tools. FlitStack sequences the migration so foreign-key dependencies (contacts require companies, deals require contacts) resolve in the correct order, then runs a delta pickup window to capture any Workpex records modified during cutover before the final audit log is delivered. Additionally, all custom field definitions are transferred to HubSpot properties, ensuring data integrity and preserving the original schema structure throughout the transition.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Workpex 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.
Workpex
Lead
HubSpot
Contact + lifecycle_stage
many:1Workpex leads carry contact details and a status field. FlitStack maps the contact properties to HubSpot Contact fields and sets lifecycle_stage based on Workpex status: 'Qualified' and 'Customer' route to 'customer', 'New' and 'Contacted' map to 'lead'. Unmatched statuses land as 'subscriber' by default for manual review.
Workpex
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Workpex contacts without a status qualifier migrate directly to HubSpot Contacts preserving first name, last name, email, phone, job title, and address fields. Owner resolution happens by email match against HubSpot user list before the contact lands. All associated activity history moves with the contact record.
Workpex
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Workpex company records map 1:1 to HubSpot Companies. Company name, domain, industry, employee count, and annual revenue translate to HubSpot's matching properties. Parent-child company hierarchies in Workpex map to HubSpot's associated companies model. This preserves organizational context for downstream reporting.
Workpex
Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Workpex deals with deal name, amount, stage, and close date map to HubSpot Deals. Pipeline and stage are resolved by matching Workpex stage names to HubSpot pipeline stage values; multiple Workpex pipelines each get their own HubSpot pipeline with stage probability applied per destination stage.
Workpex
Task / Follow-up Reminder
HubSpot
Task + Engagement Timeline
1:1Workpex follow-up reminders with due dates and descriptions become HubSpot Tasks with subject, body, and due date. The original reminder timestamp is preserved as a custom datetime property since HubSpot tasks do not retain their own create-date for scheduling independently of the record.
Workpex
Call Log
HubSpot
Call Engagement + Task
1:1Workpex call logs with duration, direction (inbound/outbound), and outcome map to HubSpot call engagements and a linked Task. HubSpot's call recording attachment migrates as a file re-uploaded to the contact or deal record's file attachment section with original call metadata preserved in task notes.
Workpex
Custom Field (Lead/Contact/Deal)
HubSpot
Custom Property
1:1Workpex custom fields on leads, contacts, and deals create HubSpot custom properties in the destination portal before migration. Text, number, date, and pick-list types map directly; Workpex pick-list values require HubSpot enumeration options to be pre-created with matching labels so the migration can apply value-mapping at import time.
Workpex
User / Owner
HubSpot
HubSpot User (owner resolution)
1:1Workpex user IDs are resolved by matching owner email to HubSpot user email addresses. Users in Workpex who have no HubSpot account are flagged pre-migration so the team can either invite them to HubSpot or assign their records to a fallback owner before the migration runs.
Workpex
Note
HubSpot
Note / Engagement Note
1:1Workpex notes with body text and timestamps map to HubSpot notes attached to the relevant contact, company, or deal record. HubSpot note associations are created during migration to maintain the original note-to-record relationship from Workpex. This ensures context is preserved across all linked entities.
Workpex
Attachment / File
HubSpot
HubSpot File
1:1Workpex file attachments on leads, contacts, and deals are downloaded and re-uploaded to the corresponding HubSpot records as Files. HubSpot's 115 MB file size limit applies; files exceeding this are flagged for compression or manual handling before the migration batch runs.
Workpex
Workflow / Automation
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflow (not migrated)
1:1Workpex workflow rules, automated sequences, and reminder logic are platform-specific automation that does not exist in the data layer. These must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder post-migration. FlitStack exports Workpex workflow definitions as a structured reference document for the HubSpot admin to use during rebuild.
Workpex
Lead Status History
HubSpot
Contact lifecycle stage history (custom)
1:1Workpex tracks lead status transitions with timestamps. Since HubSpot's lifecycle_stage property records only the current value, FlitStack preserves the status-change history as a custom multi-line text property (Lifecycle_History__c) containing timestamped status entries from Workpex for audit continuity. This maintains full visibility into the lead progression timeline.

Migration approach
Audit Workpex data and build migration map
FlitStack pulls a full export of Workpex records covering leads, contacts, companies, deals, tasks, call logs, notes, and attachments. The audit phase identifies duplicate records, missing required fields, pick-list value sets for custom fields, and the complete list of Workpex custom field names and types. This audit produces the migration map that defines every object-level and field-level translation, including pipeline-to-pipeline assignments and owner email resolution rules. The audit report is delivered to the team before any migration work begins so there are no surprises during the migration run.
Configure HubSpot portal with pipelines and custom properties
Before data lands, FlitStack delivers a HubSpot setup checklist based on the Workpex audit. This checklist specifies every HubSpot pipeline to create (matching Workpex pipeline count), the stage names and probability values for each pipeline, and every custom property to create with its type and enumeration options. The HubSpot admin creates these before the migration so the portal is ready to accept imports without validation errors. This step can run in parallel with data audit work to save calendar time.
Resolve owner emails against HubSpot user list
FlitStack matches every Workpex owner email to HubSpot user email addresses. Owners with no HubSpot account are flagged in a pre-migration report. Teams either invite those users to HubSpot or assign a fallback owner before the migration runs. No record migrates without a resolved owner; this prevents orphaned records in HubSpot where the OwnerId field is blank and the history is untraceable. The owner resolution report is reviewed and confirmed by the team before the migration batch executes.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of Workpex records — typically 200–500 spanning contacts, companies, deals, and a mix of activities — migrates first into the configured HubSpot portal. FlitStack generates a field-level diff comparing source and destination values for every mapped field. The team reviews the diff to verify lifecycle stage mapping, pipeline routing, owner resolution, and activity attachment. Any mapping errors discovered in the sample are corrected before the full migration run commits. This sample-run gate prevents widespread data quality issues from reaching the full record set.
Execute full migration with delta pickup and audit log
The full Workpex record set migrates to HubSpot using the validated map from the sample run. FlitStack sequences the migration to respect foreign-key order: companies first, then contacts, then deals, then activities and attachments. A delta-pickup window opens at the start of cutover and runs for 24–48 hours to capture any Workpex records modified during the migration window. Every operation is logged to an audit trail. If reconciliation finds unexpected discrepancies, one-click rollback reverts the HubSpot portal to its pre-migration state so the team can re-run with corrected mapping.
