Overview
Moving from DoneDone to HubSpot Service Hub is a shift from a lightweight shared-inbox issue tracker to a full customer service platform with native CRM context, SLA management, and built-in reporting. DoneDone Issues map to HubSpot Tickets, Projects map to Pipeline configurations, and DoneDone's flat tag system maps to HubSpot Labels or custom multi-select properties. We handle the structural mismatch between DoneDone's multi-watcher Issue model and HubSpot's single-assignee Ticket model by mapping the primary watcher to the standard Owner field and preserving the full watcher list as a custom contact-array property. Private comments on DoneDone Issues migrate to HubSpot internal Notes with visibility set to internal only. DoneDone's on-demand reporting data cannot be exported as structured records; we flag this during scoping and advise customers to export any required dashboards as PDFs before cutover. Workflows, Saved Replies, and automation rules do not migrate to HubSpot; we deliver a written inventory of every DoneDone Workflow and Saved Reply for the customer's admin to rebuild using Service Hub's automation builder.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a DoneDone 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.
DoneDone
Issue
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1DoneDone Issues map directly to HubSpot Tickets. The DoneDone Issue title maps to Ticket subject, description maps to Ticket body, status maps to Ticket status within the selected Pipeline, priority maps to Ticket priority, and due date maps to Ticket due date. We preserve the full Issue edit history as internal Notes on the Ticket, and map private comments on DoneDone to HubSpot Notes with the internal-only visibility flag. Assignee maps to Ticket owner by email resolution. The DoneDone issue ID is preserved in a custom HubSpot property donedone_issue_id__c for cross-reference.
DoneDone
Project
HubSpot Service Hub
Pipeline
lossyEach unique DoneDone Project becomes a HubSpot Service Hub Pipeline. DoneDone's custom Workflow (status set and transition rules) for each Project maps to a corresponding Pipeline with custom stage values. Teams with divergent Workflows across Projects will have multiple Pipelines in HubSpot, each with their own stage configuration. We enumerate every distinct Workflow during scoping and confirm the Pipeline-stage mapping with the customer before migration begins.
DoneDone
Workflow
HubSpot Service Hub
Pipeline Stage Configuration
lossyDoneDone Workflows define ordered Status values and permitted transitions. We map each Workflow's status sequence to HubSpot Pipeline stages in the same ordinal order, preserving status names and color assignments where possible. Transition rules (what statuses can follow which) have no direct HubSpot equivalent and are documented in the Workflow inventory for the admin to rebuild in Service Automation if Professional or Enterprise tier is purchased.
DoneDone
Tag
HubSpot Service Hub
Label or Custom Multi-Select Property
lossyDoneDone Tags are flat labels applied across Issues. We map Tags to HubSpot Labels on Tickets, which are available from Starter tier. If the customer uses Tags as a classification system for routing or reporting, we may recommend a custom multi-select property on the Ticket object to preserve Tag values as a structured filterable field rather than a plain label.
DoneDone
Saved Reply
HubSpot Service Hub
Canned Snippet (Professional+)
1:1DoneDone Saved Replies are agent template snippets. HubSpot Service Hub Starter+ includes Canned Snippets with variable support. We migrate Saved Replies as Canned Snippets in HubSpot Snippets, with the DoneDone Saved Reply title preserved as the Snippet name and the body preserved as content. If the customer is on the Free tier (which does not include Canned Snippets), we flag this and recommend upgrading or documenting Saved Replies for manual rebuild.
DoneDone
Private Comment
HubSpot Service Hub
Internal Note
1:1DoneDone private comments (visible only to internal team members) map to HubSpot internal Notes attached to the Ticket. We apply the internal-only visibility flag on import. Failure to preserve this distinction risks exposing internal team discussions to end customers viewing the Ticket thread. This mapping is applied by default and confirmed with the customer during scoping.
DoneDone
Assignee and Watcher
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket Owner and Custom Contact Array
1:manyDoneDone Issues support multiple watchers in addition to a primary assignee. HubSpot Tickets support a single owner. We map the primary DoneDone assignee to Ticket owner by email resolution. The full watcher list is preserved as a custom contact-array property donedone_watchers__c on the Ticket so that all original stakeholders are traceable. Customers should verify whether their SLA or routing rules depend on single-assignee semantics before cutover.
DoneDone
Attachment
HubSpot Service Hub
File Attachment
1:1DoneDone attachments on Issues reference files stored via Google Drive integration. We download each attachment by URL, preserving file name, size, and uploader metadata, and re-upload to HubSpot's file storage attached to the corresponding Ticket. Files exceeding HubSpot's storage limits per tier are flagged for the customer to resolve before migration. The attachment uploader's email maps to the HubSpot Contact who uploaded it if a matching Contact record exists.
DoneDone
Linked Task (Issue-to-Issue)
HubSpot Service Hub
Related Ticket or Custom Property
1:1DoneDone Issues can reference other Issues as sub-tasks or related items with relationship semantics (parent-child, blocks, relates-to) that vary by project configuration. We preserve the raw linked-Issue IDs and target Issue IDs as a custom text property linked_issues__c on each migrated Ticket, and document the relationship types for the customer to rebuild using HubSpot's Ticket Associations or a custom association object in Service Hub Professional+.
DoneDone
Task History
HubSpot Service Hub
Internal Note Timeline
1:1Every DoneDone Issue carries a timestamped history log of field changes (status transitions, assignee changes, priority changes, description edits). We export this as a chronological array of change events and replay it as internal Notes on the Ticket in the same temporal sequence. Each history entry is attributed to the DoneDone user who made the change if that user has a corresponding HubSpot Contact record.
DoneDone
Contact (Issue Reporter)
HubSpot Service Hub
Contact or Guest
1:1DoneDone Issues are associated with a reporting Contact (name, email). We map this to a HubSpot Contact record. If the Contact email matches an existing HubSpot Contact, we link the Ticket to that Contact. If no match exists, we create a new Contact record or register the reporter as a Ticket contact depending on the customer's HubSpot tier and contact management preferences.
DoneDone
Reporting Data
HubSpot Service Hub
Not Migrated (Flagged)
lossyDoneDone's Reports dashboard generates data on-demand from the issue history log and is not stored as a discrete exportable data object. We cannot migrate historical reporting snapshots, SLA compliance charts, or velocity metrics. We flag this during scoping and advise the customer to export any needed reports as PDFs or screenshots before migration cutover. Service Hub's native reporting replaces these capabilities post-migration.

HubSpot Service Hub gotchas
Rate limits throttle large migration API calls
Side conversations and Zendesk macros have no HubSpot equivalent
HubSpot stores ticket history as fragmented engagement objects
Custom Objects require Enterprise tier in HubSpot
Ticket pipeline stage probability values do not export cleanly
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the DoneDone portal to enumerate all Projects, Workflows, Issues, Tags, Saved Replies, and attachment URLs. We extract the complete issue history log and identify any custom field configurations per Project. We confirm whether the DoneDone API credential belongs to an administrator with full data access (API access mirrors application-level permissions). We identify the count and storage profile of attachments (especially those linked via Google Drive) and flag the reporting data gap. The discovery output is a written migration scope document covering record counts, Pipeline count, tag taxonomy, and any per-Project mapping requirements requiring customer confirmation.
Workflow inventory and Pipeline design
We enumerate every distinct Workflow across all DoneDone Projects and map each to a HubSpot Pipeline with corresponding stage values. For each Pipeline, we document the source status sequence, color assignments, and transition rules that cannot map natively to HubSpot. We create Pipelines in HubSpot Service Hub before any data import. We also inventory all Saved Replies and map them to HubSpot Snippets, flagging any Free-tier accounts that lack Canned Snippet support. The Workflow inventory document (with transition rules requiring rebuild in Service Automation) is delivered to the customer's admin as part of the handoff package.
Contact and owner reconciliation
We extract every distinct user referenced in DoneDone Issues (as assignee, watcher, or comment author) and match by email against the HubSpot Contact database. We create any missing Contacts before Ticket import so that the owner resolution succeeds. DoneDone watcher lists are preserved in the custom contact-array property after Contact creation. If the customer uses a third-party identity provider for HubSpot SSO, we coordinate with their admin to ensure user provisioning aligns with the migration cutover.
Sandbox migration and mapping validation
We run a full migration into a HubSpot Sandbox or a shadow test account using a representative sample of Issues from each Project (at least 10% of total volume). The customer's support operations lead spot-checks 25-50 randomly selected Tickets against the DoneDone source, verifying subject accuracy, description integrity, private comment visibility, assignee resolution, tag preservation, and attachment presence. Any mapping corrections (especially per-Project status-to-stage mapping) are applied before production migration begins. This step prevents rework in the production environment.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in this order: Contacts (DoneDone issue reporters), Pipelines and stage configurations, Tickets with owner resolution and private comment mapping, Tags as Labels or custom properties, Saved Replies as Snippets, Attachments re-uploaded to HubSpot file storage, and Issue history replayed as internal Notes in chronological sequence. The multi-watcher list is written as a custom contact-array property on each Ticket. We run row-count reconciliation at each phase before the next begins. API rate limits on both DoneDone (for data retrieval) and HubSpot (for Ticket creation and file upload) are managed with exponential backoff and batch chunking.
Cutover, delta sync, and Workflow handoff
We freeze DoneDone writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any Issues created or modified since the last sync, then enable HubSpot Service Hub as the system of record. We deliver the Workflow inventory (with transition rule documentation for Service Automation rebuild), the Saved Replies inventory (with Snippet mapping), and the reporting gap advisory to the customer's admin team. We support a five-business-day hypercare window where we resolve any record-level issues surfaced by the support team. We do not rebuild DoneDone Workflows or Saved Replies as HubSpot automations or Snippets inside the migration scope; that work is separate.
