Overview
Moving from Akio.Cx to HubSpot Service Hub addresses the core friction that French contact centers face with opaque per-feature pricing, no self-service export tooling, and limited international feature development. Akio.Cx organizes data around Tickets, Contacts, Agents, Teams, Channels, and Conversations with an AI-powered semantic analysis layer that has no direct equivalent in HubSpot, so we map sentiment and topic tags to custom ticket properties. Akio.Cx does not publish API documentation, which means all data extraction requires coordination with Akio's professional services team during scoping; we handle that coordination and validate the export format before transformation begins. We migrate SLA configurations as written policy records for recreation in HubSpot Service Hub Enterprise, where skill-based routing and conditional SLAs are available. Knowledge base articles transfer via HubSpot's native importer. Akio Insights dashboards and voice analytics models are not portable; we deliver the underlying interaction data and a reporting rebuild guide. Workflows, IVR trees, and routing rules are documented for manual recreation rather than migrated as configuration code.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Akio.Cx object lands in HubSpot Service Hub, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Akio.Cx
Ticket
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1Akio.Cx Ticket records map to HubSpot Ticket objects with channel origin, status, priority, assignee, and timestamps preserved. Akio priority levels (e.g., urgent, high, medium, low) map to HubSpot Ticket Priority property. Custom ticket fields on Akio are customer-defined and vary by configuration; we perform field-level discovery during scoping and generate a custom property mapping table before any data moves. Akio semantic analysis tags (sentiment scores, topic labels from Akio Insights) migrate as custom ticket properties since HubSpot does not have a native semantic analysis layer on the Starter or Professional tiers.
Akio.Cx
Contact
HubSpot Service Hub
Contact
1:1Akio.Cx Contact records (name, email, phone, company affiliation, interaction history) map to HubSpot Contact objects. Field names differ across Akio.Cx configurations; we use the email address as the dedupe key during import and map phone numbers to HubSpot's phone property. Interaction history links are preserved via the conversation migration against the Contact record. Akio contact tags migrate as a HubSpot Contact property (multi-select picklist or string array depending on HubSpot tier).
Akio.Cx
Company
HubSpot Service Hub
Company
1:1Akio.Cx Company records map to HubSpot Company objects. The company domain or name serves as the dedupe key. We resolve the Company-to-Contact relationship during migration so that Contacts attach to the correct Company record via the primary_company_id lookup. If Akio does not have an explicit Company object, we extract company data from Contact affiliation fields and create HubSpot Companies during import.
Akio.Cx
Agent
HubSpot Service Hub
User
1:1Akio.Cx Agent profiles (role, team assignment, skills, login credentials) map to HubSpot Users. We resolve agents by email match against the HubSpot portal User list. Any Akio Agent without a matching HubSpot User goes to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record migration resumes. Agent skills from Akio map to HubSpot User properties or to Teams if the customer uses HubSpot Enterprise team-based routing.
Akio.Cx
Team
HubSpot Service Hub
Team
1:1Akio.Cx Team structures (routing pools, supervisor relationships, hierarchical layout) map to HubSpot Teams. Teams on HubSpot Starter and Professional tiers are limited to basic grouping; advanced team-based routing and team-level reporting require Service Hub Enterprise. We preserve the supervisor relationship by mapping Akio team supervisors to HubSpot User records with the team_admin role or equivalent permissions.
Akio.Cx
Channel
HubSpot Service Hub
Channel
lossyAkio.Cx distinguishes voice, email, chat, SMS, and social media channels per conversation as enum values. These map to HubSpot's conversation source values (EMAIL, CHAT, CALL, SMS, FACEBOOK, TWITTER) on the conversation thread. Channel-specific metadata (e.g., voice recording URL, social handle) migrates as custom ticket properties if present in the Akio export. HubSpot's channel taxonomy is less granular than Akio's in some cases; we document the mapping during scoping.
Akio.Cx
Conversation
HubSpot Service Hub
Conversation (Conversations inbox)
1:1Akio.Cx conversation threads (message timestamps, participant agents, customer messages, internal notes) map to HubSpot conversation threads in the shared inbox. We preserve thread integrity and chronological ordering by setting the HubSpot conversation created_at timestamp to the original Akio timestamp. Individual messages within a thread migrate as conversation updates attached to the parent Ticket. Agent-side notes from Akio (internal annotations) migrate as private notes on the HubSpot Ticket if the ticket history visibility settings allow.
Akio.Cx
Custom Fields
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Properties
1:1Akio.Cx custom fields on Tickets and Contacts are fully customer-defined and migrate as HubSpot custom properties. We perform field-level discovery during scoping to identify all active custom fields, their data types (string, boolean, date, number, select, multi-select), and their parent object. Custom properties are created in HubSpot before migration begins. Akio semantic analysis fields (sentiment scores, topic labels) are treated as custom number or string properties since HubSpot does not have a native AI tagging equivalent on Starter or Professional.
Akio.Cx
SLA Configuration
HubSpot Service Hub
SLA Policy
lossyAkio.Cx SLA rules (response and resolution windows per priority level and channel) extract as policy configuration data. HubSpot Service Hub Enterprise includes conditional SLAs with pause and resume logic. We translate Akio SLA window durations to HubSpot SLA Policy time-based actions. Professional tier supports basic SLA management; Enterprise is required for conditional SLAs tied to ticket properties or team assignment. We document the full Akio SLA policy matrix and recreate it as HubSpot SLA Policies during configuration.
Akio.Cx
IVR and Routing Rules
HubSpot Service Hub
Routing Rules
lossyAkio.Cx inbound call routing, queue assignment, and IVR tree structures migrate as configuration documentation. Complex nested routing logic does not transfer automatically because Akio and HubSpot use different routing data models. We deliver a written inventory of every Akio routing rule, queue assignment, and IVR node for the customer's admin to rebuild in HubSpot using the Conversations routing workflow builder. Routing rebuild is manual and out of migration scope unless explicitly scoped as an additional configuration engagement.
Akio.Cx
Knowledge Base Articles
HubSpot Service Hub
Knowledge Base Articles
1:1Akio.Cx KB articles with categories and publication status migrate to HubSpot Knowledge Base. We extract article content, title, slug, author, and category assignments from the Akio export. HubSpot provides a native Knowledge Base importer for article bulk import, which we use as the primary import path. Category and section hierarchy from Akio maps to HubSpot Knowledge Base folders. We recommend using HubSpot's pre-built importer rather than a third-party migration tool for KB articles to avoid formatting issues with rich text content.
Akio.Cx
Tag and Labels
HubSpot Service Hub
Tags
1:1Akio.Cx tags applied to tickets and contacts migrate as string arrays and are re-applied to HubSpot Tickets and Contacts as HubSpot Tags. Tag categorization logic (how tags are used for filtering and reporting) is preserved where the tag structure allows. If Akio tags use a hierarchical taxonomy, we document the hierarchy for recreation in HubSpot's flat tag model. Multi-value tag fields on Akio custom properties migrate as HubSpot multi-select picklists on the appropriate object.
Akio.Cx
Reports and Dashboards (Akio Insights)
HubSpot Service Hub
Reporting Dashboards
1:1Akio Insights pre-built reporting dashboards are proprietary and not exportable via API or manual dump. We migrate the underlying interaction data (ticket metrics, sentiment scores, CSAT, call analytics) that feeds the dashboards so that HubSpot reporting can reconstruct the metrics. Custom chart layouts, scheduled report configurations, and voice analytics models must be rebuilt in HubSpot. We advise customers to export historical Akio Insights reports as PDFs before migration cutover and to plan for a 4-8 week reporting rebuild period with HubSpot's analytics tools or a BI integration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and Akio professional services coordination
We audit the source Akio.Cx environment across active modules (Unified, TWS, Insights), agent count, ticket volume, conversation history depth, custom field configurations, and SLA policy definitions. Because Akio has no public API, we simultaneously coordinate with Akio's professional services team to obtain a structured data export and confirm field coverage. We pair this with a HubSpot edition assessment: Starter (free) covers basic ticketing; Professional ($100/seat) adds help desk workspace, customer success workspace, Breeze customer agent, and knowledge base; Enterprise ($150/seat) is required for conditional SLAs, skill-based routing, and customer journey analytics. The discovery output is a written migration scope, Akio export confirmation, and HubSpot edition recommendation.
Schema design and semantic tag mapping
We design the destination schema in HubSpot. This includes provisioning custom ticket properties (mapping Akio semantic analysis tags to custom numeric and picklist fields), configuring ticket pipelines and stages to match Akio workflow states, setting up Teams and user roles to mirror Akio team hierarchies, and designing the Knowledge Base category structure from Akio KB exports. If Service Hub Enterprise is selected, we configure conditional SLA policies based on the Akio SLA policy matrix documented during discovery. Schema design is validated in HubSpot's test environment before production migration begins.
Akio data export validation and transformation
We receive the Akio data export (coordinated with Akio professional services), validate record counts against the discovery inventory, and spot-check 25-50 records per object for field completeness and formatting consistency. We transform the export to match HubSpot's import format, including resolving Akio channel enum values to HubSpot conversation sources, mapping Akio agent email addresses to HubSpot User IDs, and splitting conversation threads into HubSpot conversation updates with parent Ticket references. Any gaps in the Akio export are flagged to the customer for follow-up with Akio before transformation proceeds.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a HubSpot Sandbox environment using production-like data volume. The customer's service operations lead reconciles record counts (Tickets in, Contacts in, Companies in, Conversations in, Knowledge Base articles in), spot-checks 25-50 random records against the Akio source for field accuracy, and validates that Akio semantic tags and SLA configurations are correctly represented in HubSpot. Any mapping corrections, missing custom properties, or category hierarchy issues are resolved here. The customer signs off the sandbox migration before production cutover is scheduled.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Users (validated against HubSpot User list from sandbox), Companies (from Akio Company records or extracted from Contact affiliation fields), Contacts (with primary_company_id resolved), Tickets (with custom properties and semantic tag fields created), Conversations (as conversation updates linked to parent Tickets), Knowledge Base articles (via HubSpot's native importer), and Tags (applied to migrated Tickets and Contacts). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. The Akio semantic analysis data migrates last as a supplemental import against already-created Tickets to ensure parent record IDs are available.
Cutover, delta sync, and routing rebuild handoff
We freeze Akio.Cx writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any tickets, contacts, or conversations modified during the migration window, then enable HubSpot Service Hub as the system of record. We deliver the IVR and routing rule inventory document to the customer's admin team with a rebuild guide for HubSpot's Conversations routing workflow builder. We deliver the Akio Insights reporting map with guidance on rebuilding metrics in HubSpot analytics. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. Workflow rebuild, routing configuration, and SLA policy fine-tuning are separate configuration engagements post-migration.
