Overview
Zixflow Marketing Automation combines CRM, messaging (WhatsApp, SMS, Email, RCS), and visual flow-based automation in a single workspace. Its data model centers on Contacts with AI-enriched properties, Companies, Flows (automations), Campaigns, Sequences, and a wallet-based messaging credit system. HubSpot organizes data using Contacts with lifecycle_stage, Companies, Deals with pipeline/stages, Tickets, and Custom Objects — each with property-based fields following snake_case naming. FlitStack AI migrates all Zixflow contacts and companies into HubSpot contacts and companies, maps Zixflow deals to HubSpot deals with pipeline preservation, and transfers engagement history (calls, emails, meetings, notes) as HubSpot engagements with original timestamps. Zixflow Flows (automations) cannot migrate — they require manual rebuild in HubSpot's workflow builder. The migration uses Zixflow's REST API (200 requests/second limit) and maps to HubSpot's Contacts API and Companies API, with field-level validation before final commit. Custom Zixflow properties migrate to HubSpot custom properties, and Zixflow's messaging credit history is preserved as activity notes since HubSpot's contact timeline handles engagement records differently.
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 Zixflow Marketing Automation 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.
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Zixflow contacts migrate directly to HubSpot contacts. All standard properties (name, email, phone, job title, address) map to HubSpot's native contact fields. Zixflow's AI-enriched properties (inferred interests, Transflow completions) migrate as HubSpot custom properties since HubSpot has no native AI-inference field equivalent.
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Zixflow companies migrate to HubSpot companies. Domain-based matching is applied — if a Zixflow contact's email domain matches an existing HubSpot company, the contact's company association auto-links. Multi-company per contact (N:N model in Zixflow) collapses to the primary company link in HubSpot with additional associations recorded in contact properties.
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Zixflow deals migrate to HubSpot deals. If Zixflow uses deal stages, these map to HubSpot pipeline stages via value-mapping. Zixflow deals without pipeline association land in HubSpot's default pipeline. Stage probability and forecast category are applied based on HubSpot's default stage values unless custom mappings are specified before migration.
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Pipeline (if used in Zixflow)
HubSpot
Pipeline
1:1Zixflow's pipeline (if configured) becomes a HubSpot Sales Pipeline. Each Zixflow pipeline maps to one HubSpot pipeline. If Zixflow uses a single default pipeline, it maps to HubSpot's default Sales pipeline. Pipeline stages in Zixflow map value-by-value to HubSpot stage names within the target pipeline.
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Flow (automation)
HubSpot
Workflow
1:1Zixflow Flows (automations) do not migrate. HubSpot Workflows use enrollment-based triggers fundamentally different from Zixflow's visual flow-action model. FlitStack exports Zixflow Flow definitions as a structured JSON reference document for your HubSpot admin to manually rebuild in HubSpot's workflow builder.
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Sequence
HubSpot
Sequences (Sales Hub required)
1:1Zixflow Cadence sequences have no direct HubSpot equivalent. Sequences require manual rebuild using HubSpot Sequences (available in Sales Hub Professional and Enterprise). FlitStack exports sequence step definitions, step timing, and contact enrollment data as a reference CSV for manual sequence recreation.
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Campaign
HubSpot
Campaign
1:1Zixflow campaigns migrate to HubSpot campaigns. Campaign names, descriptions, and original create dates transfer. HubSpot campaign membership is created per contact who was part of the Zixflow campaign — enrollment history is preserved as campaign member records with original enrollment timestamps.
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Call/Email/Meeting activity
HubSpot
Engagement (Timeline activity)
1:1Zixflow engagement history (calls logged, emails sent, meetings scheduled) migrates to HubSpot's contact timeline as engagements. Each activity preserves original timestamp, owner (resolved by email match to HubSpot users), and any notes or outcome recorded in Zixflow. Ensuring audit trails remain intact.
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Form submission
HubSpot
Form submission (preserved as Note)
1:1Zixflow form submissions migrate as HubSpot engagements with type='note'. Form field names and values are preserved in the note body. HubSpot's native form submission tracking is not auto-created — your HubSpot admin can connect HubSpot forms post-migration to capture future submissions directly.
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Custom property (any object)
HubSpot
Custom property
1:1Zixflow custom properties on contacts, companies, or deals migrate as HubSpot custom properties. FlitStack creates the custom properties in HubSpot before data lands. Property type mapping: Zixflow text → HubSpot single-line text; Zixflow number → HubSpot number; Zixflow date → HubSpot date; Zixflow dropdown → HubSpot single-line text (no native dropdown equivalent for all property types).
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Owner/User
HubSpot
User
1:1Zixflow users resolve to HubSpot users by email match. Unmatched owners are flagged before migration — teams either pre-create HubSpot users or assign their records to a fallback owner. Deactivated Zixflow users are flagged separately; your admin decides whether to activate them in HubSpot or archive their records under a generic owner.
Zixflow Marketing Automation
Messaging wallet / SMS credits
HubSpot
Activity notes (reference only)
1:1Zixflow's wallet-based messaging balance and credit consumption history have no HubSpot equivalent. Messaging costs and credit usage are preserved as a custom note on the associated contacts for audit purposes. Going forward, HubSpot's paid messaging add-ons handle outbound channels independently.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Audit Zixflow data model and export API inventory
FlitStack connects to Zixflow via API using workspace-scoped credentials and inventories all contacts, companies, deals, campaigns, and custom properties. We audit the Zixflow API rate limit (200 POST/PATCH requests per second per workspace) and plan batch sizing accordingly. The audit also surfaces Zixflow Flows and Sequences for the rebuild-reference export, and identifies any contacts with AI-enrichment properties that need custom HubSpot fields pre-created before migration.
Create HubSpot custom properties and pipeline schema
Before data lands, FlitStack creates all custom properties in HubSpot that are needed for Zixflow data — AI inference fields, original create date fields, messaging wallet notes, and any Zixflow custom properties that have no native HubSpot equivalent. We also validate that HubSpot pipelines and stage names match the Zixflow deal pipeline structure, and flag any stage-value gaps that require pre-migration configuration in HubSpot's pipeline settings.
Resolve owners and pre-map company associations
Zixflow users are matched to HubSpot users by email address. FlitStack runs an owner-resolution pass and flags any Zixflow users who do not have a corresponding HubSpot user — your team either creates HubSpot users first or assigns those records to a fallback owner before migration. Company associations for contacts are pre-resolved using domain matching so that contact-to-company links (which HubSpot requires via CompanyId lookup) resolve correctly on first write.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 100–500 records — spanning contacts, companies, deals, and a few campaign memberships — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report showing source values vs. destination values for every mapped property. You verify that lifecycle_stage mapping is correct, deal stages resolve to expected HubSpot pipeline stages, and owner resolution applied as expected. No full migration commits until the sample diff is approved.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full data migration runs against HubSpot's Contacts API and Companies API using Zixflow's exported records. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records modified or created in Zixflow during the cutover period so HubSpot reflects Zixflow's final state at go-live. FlitStack logs every operation in an audit trail, and one-click rollback reverts all migrated records if reconciliation uncovers data integrity issues. Post-migration, you receive a Zixflow Flow definitions JSON and Sequence step CSV for your HubSpot admin's manual rebuild.
