Overview
ConnectWise PSA (formerly Manage) is a full-stack MSP platform combining ticketing, billing, time tracking, project management, and agreement management under one roof. HubSpot Service Hub is a customer-service module within HubSpot's CRM that handles ticketing, knowledge base, customer feedback, and service automation. The two platforms share core concepts—tickets, contacts, companies—but their data architectures diverge sharply on billing, time tracking, project management, and agreement handling. FlitStack AI migrates ConnectWise's service boards, tickets, companies, contacts, and custom fields into HubSpot's ticket pipelines and CRM objects. Time entries, agreements, and billing records cannot be migrated in full because HubSpot lacks native billing and project-management modules—these are documented in an export package for manual rebuild in HubSpot's finance integrations or as custom objects. The migration uses ConnectWise's REST API for data extraction and HubSpot's CRM API for import, with scoped read-only access so your team continues operating in ConnectWise during cutover. A delta-pickup window captures any records created or modified during the migration window.
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 ConnectWise PSA 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.
ConnectWise PSA
Company
HubSpot Service Hub
Company
1:1ConnectWise Companies map directly to HubSpot Companies. HubSpot requires a single primary domain per company record; multi-location ConnectWise companies with separate addresses are created as individual HubSpot company records linked by association. Original ConnectWise company ID is preserved as a custom property for delta-run deduplication.
ConnectWise PSA
Contact
HubSpot Service Hub
Contact
1:1ConnectWise Contacts map directly to HubSpot Contacts. Email, phone, name, and address fields transfer as direct properties with standard field mappings. ConnectWise's primary-contact flag maps to HubSpot's lifecycle_stage (set to 'customer') when the contact is associated with an active agreement. For contacts with multiple roles or relationships in ConnectWise, additional manual review may be needed to ensure accurate lifecycle stage assignment in HubSpot.
ConnectWise PSA
Service Board
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket Pipeline
1:1Each ConnectWise Service Board becomes a HubSpot Ticket Pipeline. Board-specific SLA rules, queue names, and priority configurations are documented in the migration plan as HubSpot SLA configuration references. Boards without a HubSpot equivalent (e.g., emergency escalation queues) are flagged for manual rebuild in HubSpot workflow automation.
ConnectWise PSA
Ticket
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1ConnectWise Tickets map to HubSpot Tickets with full property transfer: summary, description, priority, status, assigned technician, created date, updated date. Internal notes on ConnectWise tickets become HubSpot internal ticket notes, preserving the original formatting and author information. Conversation threads transfer as HubSpot ticket communication history, maintaining the chronological order of updates for complete audit trails.
ConnectWise PSA
Agreement
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Object
1:1ConnectWise Agreements (recurring service contracts, SLAs, maintenance agreements) have no native HubSpot equivalent. We migrate agreements as a custom object (Agreement__c) with fields for agreement type, start/end dates, scope, and associated company. Rebillable agreement terms are documented for rebuild in HubSpot's Products and Quotes module.
ConnectWise PSA
Time Entry
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Object
1:1ConnectWise Time Entries track billable and non-billable work against tickets. HubSpot has no native time-tracking object. Time entries are migrated as a custom object (TimeEntry__c) linked to the parent ticket and contact, preserving hours logged, work date, technician name, and billable flag.
ConnectWise PSA
Product/Service
HubSpot Service Hub
Product
1:1ConnectWise Products and Services catalog maps to HubSpot's Product object. Product name, SKU, unit cost, and billing type transfer as HubSpot product properties. Bundled product configurations in ConnectWise are preserved as product bundles in HubSpot's Sales Hub if that module is active.
ConnectWise PSA
Custom Field
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Property
1:1ConnectWise company-level and board-level custom fields migrate to HubSpot custom properties on the corresponding object (Contact, Company, or Ticket). Note: Custom property creation in HubSpot requires Operations Hub Starter or Professional. We document all custom field types (text, number, picklist, date) for correct HubSpot property type assignment.
ConnectWise PSA
Knowledge Base
HubSpot Service Hub
Knowledge Base Article
1:1ConnectWise Knowledge Base articles migrate to HubSpot Knowledge Base with full fidelity. Article titles, body content, category assignments, and publication status transfer completely. Article-to-ticket associations are preserved as ticket property references in HubSpot for reporting continuity. Attachments embedded within article bodies are exported and reattached to the corresponding HubSpot knowledge base articles during the migration process.
ConnectWise PSA
Project
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Object
1:1ConnectWise Projects have no direct HubSpot equivalent. Projects are migrated as a custom object (Project__c) with start date, end date, status, budget, and associated company/contact links. Project task details are preserved as a child custom object (ProjectTask__c) for granular history.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Extract ConnectWise data via approved CSV export mechanism
FlitStack initiates a scoped read-only export from ConnectWise using the platform's approved CSV export functionality, which complies with current ToS restrictions. We export all service boards, tickets, companies, contacts, agreements, time entries, knowledge base articles, and custom field definitions. For large datasets (50,000+ records), we batch the export across multiple CSV files to preserve data integrity. A data manifest is generated listing record counts per object type for migration planning and reconciliation.
Map ConnectWise service boards to HubSpot ticket pipelines
Before data lands in HubSpot, your admin (or our team) creates the ticket pipelines corresponding to each ConnectWise service board. We deliver a board-to-pipeline mapping plan specifying which ConnectWise board maps to which HubSpot pipeline, which queue names need custom property flags, and which SLA rules can be approximated with HubSpot workflow automation. Custom properties for ConnectWise IDs, original create dates, and board-specific fields are pre-created in HubSpot at this stage.
Migrate companies, contacts, and agreements before tickets
HubSpot requires companies to exist before contacts can associate via the company association field, and contacts must exist before tickets can reference them as primary contacts. We sequence the migration: Companies → Contacts → Agreements → Knowledge Base → Tickets → Time Entries. This foreign-key ordering ensures referential integrity in HubSpot and prevents orphaned records. Owner resolution happens at this stage—ConnectWise technicians and assignees are matched to HubSpot users by email; unmatched users are flagged for fallback assignment.
Run sample migration with field-level validation
A representative slice migrates first—typically 100–500 records per object type spanning tickets from each service board, time entries, and agreement records. We generate a field-level comparison report showing source values against destination values for every mapped field. You verify that ConnectWise priority values, board associations, assignee resolution, and agreement type mapping render correctly in HubSpot before the full run commits. Mapping adjustments are made during this phase at no additional cost.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against HubSpot's CRM API. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any tickets, contacts, or time entries created or modified in ConnectWise during the migration window. This ensures HubSpot reflects ConnectWise's final state at go-live. An audit log records every operation, including records skipped due to validation failures, for post-migration reconciliation. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation identifies critical data gaps.
