Overview
Infraon Desk is an ITIL-aligned ITSM helpdesk with 13 certified processes; HubSpot Service Hub is a CRM-native customer service platform built around Tickets, Pipelines, and the Contact record. The migration is a structural conversion, not a direct record copy. Problems and Changes have no native HubSpot equivalent and require workarounds or custom object configuration before migration begins. We migrate Tickets with full conversation threads and attachments, Knowledge Base Articles with category hierarchies, Contacts, Companies, and Assets. We preserve SLA elapsed time and breach thresholds as custom fields on every ticket so your admin team can honour or renegotiate SLA targets post-migration. Saved reports and dashboard definitions are not accessible via Infraon Desk standard API and require manual export before migration. Workflows, automations, and Service Catalogue item triggers do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory documenting every active automation for your team to rebuild in HubSpot Workflows and the Service Hub automation tools. Typical migrations complete in 4-8 weeks, with costs ranging from $6,500 for straightforward data moves under 5,000 tickets to $15,000 for migrations with custom CI type definitions, large KB article inventories, or Problem/Change record workarounds requiring custom object configuration.
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.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Infraon Desk 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.
Infraon Desk
Incident
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1Infraon Desk Incidents migrate directly to HubSpot Service Hub Tickets. Standard fields (priority, status, category, assignee, requester) map to HubSpot ticket properties. Custom fields defined on Infraon Incidents are enumerated during discovery and created as custom HubSpot ticket properties before import. Conversation threads migrate as HubSpot ticket comments in chronological order. We disable HubSpot ticket status automations (email-sent triggers, customer-reply triggers) before migration to prevent the destination platform from silently overwriting imported ticket states with Waiting on Contact or similar defaults.
Infraon Desk
Problem
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Object (Problem)
1:manyInfraon Desk Problems have no native HubSpot equivalent. We create a custom object named Problem (API name: problem__c) in HubSpot during schema design, with fields for title, description, root_cause__c, linked_incidents__c (multi-select or related list), and workaround_resolution__c. Each Problem migrates as its own record, and we preserve the link to related Incidents by recording the Infraon Incident ID in a custom field on both the Problem record and the migrated Ticket so the relationship is reconstructable post-migration.
Infraon Desk
Change
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Object (Change)
1:manyInfraon Desk Changes carry type (Normal, Standard, Emergency), risk level, approvals, CAB associations, and scheduled dates. HubSpot has no native Change object. We create a custom object named Change (API name: change__c) with fields for change_type__c, risk_level__c, approval_status__c, scheduled_start__c, scheduled_end__c, and associated_cab__c. Change Advisory Board associations migrate as text fields where the original CAB role names are preserved for the customer's ITSM team to re-establish in any new change management process they configure in HubSpot.
Infraon Desk
Configuration Item (CI)
HubSpot Service Hub
Company + Asset
1:manyInfraon Desk CIs live in the CMDB and link to Incidents, Problems, and Changes. We map standard CI types (Server, Network Device, Software) to HubSpot Asset records with category fields; custom CI types are enumerated during scoping and mapped to HubSpot custom asset categories or a separate custom object. CI-to-CI relationships (dependency chains) are preserved as structured text fields on the related HubSpot Asset records since HubSpot does not have a native CI relationship graph.
Infraon Desk
Asset
HubSpot Service Hub
Asset
1:1Infraon Desk Assets (hardware and software inventory) map to HubSpot Asset records with the addition of custom fields enumerated from Infraon's asset schema during discovery. Bulk asset imports are chunked by asset type and processed in batches. We flag any orphaned attachment references (assets with file attachments that point to deleted or missing files) before migration so the customer can decide whether to include or exclude them.
Infraon Desk
Knowledge Base Article
HubSpot Service Hub
Knowledge Base Article
1:1KB Articles and their category hierarchies migrate with full HTML content preserved. Article visibility rules map to HubSpot article privacy settings. Attachment references are preserved as URL links or re-uploaded as HubSpot file attachments at migration time, depending on the source attachment storage location. Category-to-article parentage relationships are maintained through HubSpot article category assignments.
Infraon Desk
Service Catalogue Item
HubSpot Service Hub
Form (via HubSpot workflows)
lossyInfraon Desk Service Catalogue items define requestable services and link to workflow triggers. We migrate the item definition and associated form fields. Workflow trigger conditions are exported as structured configuration and documented in the automation inventory. The customer's admin rebuilds requestable services as HubSpot Forms connected to Workflows, or via the Service Hub Customer Portal if that tier is licensed.
Infraon Desk
SLA Policy
HubSpot Service Hub
SLA Policy metadata
lossySLA policies define response and resolution time targets per priority level. We replicate SLA definitions as HubSpot SLA policy objects. The live elapsed timer state is time-bound and resets on import. We capture original SLA elapsed time, remaining time, and breach threshold as custom fields (original_sla_elapsed__c, original_sla_remaining__c, sla_breach_threshold__c) on each migrated Ticket so the customer's admin can decide whether to honour the original SLA deadline or renegotiate SLA targets post-migration.
Infraon Desk
Technician
HubSpot Service Hub
User
1:1Infraon Desk Technicians are billable seats. We migrate technician accounts to HubSpot Users with roles, group assignments, and notification preferences preserved as custom fields. End-users (requesters) migrate as HubSpot Contacts. We validate the exported technician list against Infraon Desk paid seats to confirm no over-billing after the source account is decommissioned. Passwords and MFA settings cannot be migrated and require re-authentication setup in HubSpot.
Infraon Desk
Release
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Object (Release)
1:1Infraon Desk Releases track deployment packages linked to Changes. We create a custom object named Release (API name: release__c) with fields for title, description, planned_rollout_date__c, and associated_changes__c. Links to Change records are preserved via the Change ID stored in a custom field. Release status values migrate as a custom picklist on the Release object.
Infraon Desk
Task
HubSpot Service Hub
Task
1:1Standalone Tasks (not inside a Project) migrate to HubSpot Tasks with assignees, due dates, status, and priority preserved. Tasks linked inside Infraon Desk Project Management migrate as HubSpot Tasks with a reference to the parent project recorded in a custom field. We preserve the original created timestamp and any linked Attachments or comments.
Infraon Desk
Tag
HubSpot Service Hub
Tag
1:1Tags applied to Tickets, Assets, and KB Articles migrate with the parent object. Tag counts and co-occurrence patterns are preserved to maintain reporting continuity. HubSpot tags use the same string-based tag model as Infraon Desk, so no transformation is required beyond extracting the tag values from the source records during enumeration.
Infraon Desk
Workflow
HubSpot Service Hub
Workflow documentation
lossyInfraon Desk drag-and-drop Workflows are exported as structured JSON configuration and delivered in a written inventory document. The inventory lists every active workflow with its trigger, conditions, branches, and actions. HubSpot Workflows use a different automation model (record-triggered, delay, If-Then branch, CRM action). The customer's admin uses the FlitStack AI inventory document to rebuild each Infraon workflow as equivalent HubSpot Workflows or Service Hub automation sequences.
Infraon Desk
Report / Saved Dashboard
HubSpot Service Hub
Report documentation
lossyInfraon Desk saved report configurations and dashboard widget definitions are not accessible via the standard API. We recommend exporting all report definitions manually as CSV or screenshots before migration begins. We deliver the exported reports with a mapping table identifying the closest HubSpot native report equivalent for each. The customer's admin rebuilds reports in HubSpot Service Hub reporting or the broader HubSpot analytics workspace post-migration.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
API connection and automation audit
We connect to both Infraon Desk and HubSpot Service Hub via their respective APIs, authenticate with OAuth credentials, and enumerate all source records across Incidents, Problems, Changes, CIs, Assets, KB Articles, Service Catalogue items, SLA policies, Users, Technicians, and Releases. In parallel, we audit HubSpot for any active ticket status automations (email-sent triggers, customer-reply triggers) that would overwrite imported ticket states. We disable these automations before any records are imported and document them for re-enablement post-cutover.
Discovery and schema design
We enumerate all Infraon Desk fields, custom CI types, custom asset fields, SLA policy definitions, and active workflow configurations. For Problems and Changes (which have no native HubSpot equivalent), we design the custom object schema in HubSpot during this phase, including all custom fields, picklists, and relationship fields. We deliver a written migration scope document that includes the full field mapping manifest, the custom object DDL for Problem and Change equivalents, and the Infraon Desk report export checklist. This phase typically takes one to two weeks and is the primary driver of migration timeline accuracy.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a HubSpot Sandbox or staging environment using production-like data volume. The customer's operations lead reconciles record counts across all objects, spot-checks a sample of 25-50 records against the Infraon Desk source for field accuracy and conversation thread completeness, and validates that custom CI type and Problem/Change schema designs work as intended. Sign-off on the sandbox results authorizes the production migration. Mapping corrections and custom field additions happen here, not in production.
User and technician reconciliation
We extract all distinct Infraon Desk Technicians (billable seats) and match them by email against HubSpot User accounts in the destination org. Technicians without a matching HubSpot User are placed in a reconciliation queue for the customer to provision. End-users (requesters) migrate as HubSpot Contacts. We validate the technician list against Infraon Desk paid-seat count to confirm that no billing continues after the source account is decommissioned.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: custom object schemas (Problem__c, Change__c, Release__c) are deployed first, followed by Companies (from Infraon Desk Companies), Contacts (from Infraon Desk end-users), Assets and CIs (with CI type mapping resolved), Tickets with SLA metadata fields, KB Articles, and standalone Tasks. SLA elapsed-time data is written as custom fields during ticket import. We use HubSpot API batch endpoints with rate-limit handling and exponential backoff throughout. Delta migration captures any records created or modified during the migration window before cutover.
Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Infraon Desk writes, run a final delta sync, then designate HubSpot Service Hub as the system of record. We re-enable HubSpot automations that were disabled during Step 1, reconnect support email inboxes and chat widgets to the new HubSpot inboxes, and verify ticket pipeline stages in HubSpot match the expected post-migration state. We deliver the Infraon Desk workflow inventory document to the customer's admin team with HubSpot Workflow equivalents documented for each active automation. We do not rebuild Infraon workflows as HubSpot Workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
