Overview
Infoset is an omnichannel helpdesk combining CRM, cloud call center, live chat, and sales pipelines for mid-market customer service teams. HubSpot Service Hub is the customer service layer within HubSpot's unified CRM platform, offering shared inbox, ticketing, knowledge base, customer feedback, and calling native to the same contact and company records used by sales and marketing. The primary structural difference is Infoset's 3-month chat history retention on standard tier, which permanently deletes conversation context unless extracted before the window closes. We capture active conversation history during migration scoping and map Infoset agent seats to HubSpot user seats, flagging cases where the source seat count exceeds the destination plan allowance. Multi-channel conversation threads (email, chat, social) require channel-type mapping to HubSpot's conversation model, and call logs with IVR paths, queue names, and recording links migrate as HubSpot Call records with metadata preserved. Automations, sequences, and report dashboards do not migrate as code; we deliver written inventories for admin rebuild post-migration.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Infoset 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.
Infoset
Ticket
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket (HubSpot native)
1:1Infoset Tickets map to HubSpot Tickets as the primary support record. We preserve ticket status, priority, assignee (mapped to HubSpot Owner/User), full conversation thread, and created/updated timestamps. Infoset's pipeline stage names map to HubSpot Ticket pipeline stages which we configure before migration. If Infoset Tickets are linked to Deals, we also map the association to HubSpot Deals and preserve the ticket-to-deal link via HubSpot's association API.
Infoset
Contact
HubSpot Service Hub
Contact
1:1Infoset Contacts migrate 1:1 to HubSpot Contacts with all standard fields (name, email, phone, company link) preserved. Custom contact properties in Infoset map to HubSpot Contact Properties, creating equivalent custom fields in HubSpot during schema setup. We use email address as the dedupe key. If Infoset Contacts are associated with Companies, we import Companies first so that the Company lookup is satisfied at Contact import time.
Infoset
Company
HubSpot Service Hub
Company
1:1Infoset Company records map directly to HubSpot Companies. The company name, domain, industry, employee count, and address fields migrate to equivalent HubSpot Company properties. HubSpot Company is created before Contact import to satisfy the parent lookup. If Infoset Companies have associated Deals, we map the deal associations to HubSpot Deals attached to the same Company record.
Infoset
Deal
HubSpot Service Hub
Deal
1:1Infoset Deals (sales pipeline records with stage, value, close date, and owner) map to HubSpot Deals. The deal stage from Infoset maps to HubSpot Deal stage within a configured Deal pipeline. We map Infoset deal amount to HubSpot deal amount, close date to close date, and owner to a HubSpot User. If Infoset Deals are associated with Contacts and Companies, those associations migrate as HubSpot Deal associations via the HubSpot associations API.
Infoset
Conversation Thread (Multi-channel)
HubSpot Service Hub
Conversation (HubSpot Conversations inbox)
1:1Infoset multi-channel conversation threads (email, live chat, social messages) map to HubSpot Conversations threads. We preserve channel type (email, chat, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) as HubSpot Conversation source attribution, message timestamps, participant agents, and inline attachments. Each conversation thread is associated with the migrated Contact record. We flag conversations that fall outside the 3-month retention window and cannot be extracted from Infoset.
Infoset
Agent / User
HubSpot Service Hub
User
1:1Infoset agent profiles map to HubSpot Users. We resolve agents by email match against the HubSpot destination portal. Agent roles (admin, agent) map to HubSpot User roles where applicable. If Infoset agent seats exceed the HubSpot Service Hub plan allowance, we flag the overage during scoping and recommend a plan upgrade before migration proceeds.
Infoset
Help Center Article
HubSpot Service Hub
Knowledge Base Article
1:1Infoset Help Center articles and category hierarchy migrate to HubSpot Knowledge Base articles. We preserve article title, body content (with rich text formatting), publication status, category assignment, and article slug. Articles are created in HubSpot's knowledge base before or alongside ticket migration to enable linking help articles to tickets.
Infoset
Call Log
HubSpot Service Hub
Call (HubSpot native)
1:1Infoset cloud call center records including IVR path traversed, call queue name, call duration, disposition, and recording URL link migrate to HubSpot Calls. We preserve call start time, end time, duration in seconds, and recording attachment (downloaded as a binary blob and re-attached in HubSpot). Inbound versus outbound direction migrates as a custom property. Call associations link to the Contact record.
Infoset
Mail Account
HubSpot Service Hub
Connected Email (Shared Inbox)
1:1Infoset connected mail accounts map to HubSpot Shared Email Inbox routing rules. We map mail account routing (inbound email assignment, auto-response rules) to HubSpot Inbound mailbox rules and sequence assignments. If the source account count exceeds the HubSpot plan allowance, we recommend consolidation during scoping. Multiple mail accounts on Infoset may require HubSpot Professional+ for sufficient routing rule capacity.
Infoset
Chat Widget Configuration
HubSpot Service Hub
Chat Widget
lossyInfoset chat widget configurations (branding, greeting messages, online/offline settings) map to HubSpot Chat widget settings. We identify all active widget instances in Infoset and configure equivalent HubSpot chat widgets before migration. If Infoset deployment includes multiple widgets across different websites or brands, we consolidate them into HubSpot's multi-widget architecture and flag any that require additional HubSpot Chat seats.
Infoset
Automation / Workflow
HubSpot Service Hub
Workflow (written inventory)
lossyInfoset automation rules (ticket routing triggers, auto-responses, campaign triggers) do not migrate as executable code. HubSpot workflows use a different trigger-action model with different field names and flow logic. We deliver a written inventory of every active Infoset automation with its trigger conditions, actions, and recommended HubSpot workflow equivalent, so the customer's admin rebuilds them post-migration in HubSpot's workflow builder.
Infoset
Report / Dashboard
HubSpot Service Hub
Report (rebuild required)
lossyInfoset pre-built reports and custom dashboards are platform-specific definitions that do not export. We migrate the underlying raw data (ticket volumes, CSAT scores, agent metrics, call duration stats) as structured records or CSV extracts. The customer's admin rebuilds reports and dashboards in HubSpot's analytics engine using the migrated data. We provide a report requirements document listing each Infoset report's metric definitions for the admin to recreate.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and retention window audit
We audit the Infoset portal across plan tier, agent seat count, mail account count, chat widget count, and active automation rules. We specifically identify all conversation threads created within the 3-month retention window and flag those already deleted outside the window. We count active tickets, contacts, companies, deals, and call log records to size the migration volume. We pair this with a HubSpot Service Hub plan recommendation (Starter, Professional, or Enterprise) based on seat count, ticket pipeline requirements, and knowledge base needs.
Schema design and HubSpot pipeline configuration
We design the HubSpot destination schema: Ticket pipeline stages mapped from Infoset ticket statuses, Deal pipeline stages mapped from Infoset deal stages, custom Contact and Company properties created to match Infoset custom fields, and Knowledge Base article categories created to match Infoset help center hierarchy. We configure the HubSpot Conversations inbox channel routing before migration so that imported threads land in the correct shared inbox. All schema work deploys to a HubSpot sandbox or staging portal first for validation.
Sandbox migration and mapping reconciliation
We run a full migration into the HubSpot staging environment using production-like data volume. The customer's service manager reconciles record counts (Contacts in, Companies in, Tickets in, Deals in, Call logs in), spot-checks 25-50 random conversation threads against Infoset source data, and validates that agent assignments match the Infoset owner assignments. Any field mapping corrections, conversation thread association fixes, or call log attachment issues are resolved in staging before production migration begins.
Contact and Company import with dedupe key resolution
We import HubSpot Companies first using Infoset company domain and name as dedupe keys. We import HubSpot Contacts second using email address as the dedupe key, with the Company lookup resolved to the matching HubSpot Company ID. Custom contact properties populate during this phase. Any Infoset Contacts without matching email addresses go to a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to resolve (merge or create new).
Ticket and conversation thread import
We import Infoset Tickets as HubSpot Tickets with Ticket pipeline stages configured to match Infoset status values. Conversation threads migrate to HubSpot Conversations, with each thread linked to the resolved Contact record. We handle channel-type attribution (email, chat, social) and preserve message timestamps, agent participants, and inline attachments. We flag any conversation thread that cannot associate to a migrated Contact.
Deal, call log, and knowledge base import
We import Infoset Deals as HubSpot Deals with stage, amount, close date, and owner resolved against the migrated User records. Call logs import as HubSpot Calls with IVR path, queue name, duration, and recording URL preserved, with recordings downloaded and re-attached as HubSpot files. Help Center articles import to HubSpot Knowledge Base with article body, category hierarchy, and publication status preserved.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze Infoset writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified during the migration window, then enable HubSpot Service Hub as the system of record. We deliver the automation and workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team with recommended HubSpot workflow equivalents. We deliver the report requirements document for rebuilding dashboards. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues raised by the service team.
