Overview
Moving from Ivanti Neurons for ITSM to HubSpot Service Hub is a shift from a process-heavy ITIL-aligned platform built for IT operations to a customer-facing service desk integrated with HubSpot's CRM. Ivanti's business object architecture — Incidents, Service Requests, Problems, Change Records, Assets, Configuration Items, Knowledge Articles, and custom objects — must be flattened into HubSpot's Tickets, Contacts, Companies, and Knowledge Base schema. We resolve CI-to-Company lookups, split multi-table incident-task relationships into HubSpot ticket threads, and carry SLA timers and priority fields as custom ticket properties. Self-service portal configurations and Virtual Agent dialogs are not accessible via Ivanti's REST API; we deliver a manual rebuild checklist rather than automated migration. Workflows, SLA policies, approval chains, and CAB processes do not migrate as code — we document them for your admin to rebuild in HubSpot's workflow engine.
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 Ivanti Neurons for ITSM 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.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
Incident
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1Ivanti Incidents map to HubSpot Tickets as the primary record. We preserve Incident ID as a custom text property for traceability, map priority (Critical, High, Medium, Low) to HubSpot ticket priority, carry the resolution summary into the ticket description or first conversation, and set the ticket status based on the Ivanti incident state. SLA timer fields (time to first response, time to resolution) migrate as custom number properties so historical SLA performance is preserved.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
Incident: Tasks
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket: Conversations (Reply)
1:manyIvanti Tasks subordinate to an Incident (task assignments, work notes, and status updates) map to HubSpot Ticket conversation replies. Each Ivanti Task body becomes a conversation entry authored by the task assignee, preserving timestamps and linking to the parent Ticket. Private internal notes in Ivanti migrate as internal ticket notes in HubSpot; public-facing task completions migrate as customer-visible replies.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
Service Request
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1Ivanti Service Requests map to HubSpot Tickets with the request type preserved in a custom property. Approval workflow status (Pending, Approved, Rejected) migrates as a custom picklist property because HubSpot has no native approval chain feature. Associated Cost Center and Financial Owner fields migrate as custom text or contact-linked properties depending on whether a matching Contact exists in HubSpot.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
Change Record
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket (or custom object)
1:1Ivanti Change Records carry structured risk assessment scores, CAB review status, and implementation schedules. We map Change Records to HubSpot Tickets with a Change Request ticket type, carrying Risk Assessment level as a custom picklist and CAB approval status as a custom property. The structured CAB workflow does not migrate; we deliver a written change management process document for the admin to rebuild in HubSpot's workflow engine or a third-party approval app.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
Problem
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket (linked via custom association)
lossyIvanti Problems link to their root-cause Incidents and carry Known Error status. We map Problems to HubSpot Tickets with a Problem type tag, and create a custom multi-select picklist or association property linking to the related Incident ticket IDs. The Problem-Incident linkage graph is preserved as a structured property rather than a native relationship because HubSpot does not have a Problem object.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
Configuration Item (CI)
HubSpot Service Hub
Company or Asset
1:1Ivanti CIs form the CMDB backbone with relationship maps to other CIs, Assets, and Incidents. We export the full CI relationship graph and map CIs of type 'organization' or 'department' to HubSpot Company records. Technical CIs (servers, software, hardware) map to HubSpot Asset records if the destination includes Service Hub Professional or Enterprise, with CI relationship metadata preserved in custom text fields. CI-to-Incident linkages are carried as custom ticket properties linking to the related ticket IDs.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
Asset
HubSpot Service Hub
Asset
1:1Ivanti Asset records (hardware, software inventory, discovered devices) with Owner, Location, Cost, and procurement metadata map to HubSpot Asset records. We preserve asset tag, serial number, purchase date, and cost as HubSpot Asset properties. Discovered assets without a linked Contact in HubSpot are created as unassigned Assets and flagged for the admin to link to the correct Contact or Company post-migration.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
Knowledge Article
HubSpot Service Hub
Knowledge Base Article
1:1Ivanti Knowledge Articles with rich-text HTML bodies, publication status, and usage statistics map to HubSpot Knowledge Base articles. We export full article HTML content and map publication status (Draft, Published, Archived) to HubSpot article state. Article-to-Incident linkage is preserved by creating a custom property on the article that lists related ticket IDs. Large article bodies exceeding HubSpot's per-article size limit are chunked into multiple linked articles with a manual sequence guide for the admin.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
User / Employee
HubSpot Service Hub
Contact
1:1Ivanti Employee and User records map to HubSpot Contacts. We match by email address as the dedupe key. Preferred language and organizational assignment migrate as custom contact properties. LDAP and SSO configuration on the source side does not affect the migration; the customer configures HubSpot SSO independently post-migration.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
Team
HubSpot Service Hub
Team (HubSpot Service Hub Professional+)
1:1Ivanti Teams with queue routing rules map to HubSpot Teams where the Professional tier or above enables team inboxes. Each Ivanti Team becomes a HubSpot Team, and queue routing assignments migrate as ticket assignment rules. Queue-to-Incident routing rules are documented in the automation rebuild checklist rather than migrated as code.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
Custom Business Object
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Object or custom properties
lossyIvanti custom business object schemas are exported via the Metadata API and mapped to either HubSpot custom objects (Enterprise tier) or collections of custom contact/company/ticket properties. We pre-create destination schemas, including all field types, lookup relationships, and validation constraints, before any data import. Complex multi-level custom object relationships are flattened into HubSpot-compatible structures during the transform phase.
Ivanti Neurons for ITSM
Attachment
HubSpot Service Hub
File Upload (Ticket)
1:1Ivanti file attachments associated with Incidents, Service Requests, and Change Records migrate to HubSpot Ticket file attachments. We identify oversized files during pre-migration audit (Ivanti accepts up to 500 MB via FTP but HubSpot file upload limits apply) and handle files over HubSpot's limit via direct SFTP upload with post-migration linkage. Attachment metadata (filename, upload date, author) is preserved in a custom property on the file record.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the source Ivanti Neurons for ITSM tenant across record type distribution (Incidents, Service Requests, Changes, Problems, Knowledge Articles, Assets, CIs), custom business object schemas, API call volume and rate limit status, attachment inventory with file size distribution, and active self-service portal and Virtual Agent configurations. We pair this with a HubSpot Service Hub edition assessment: Starter ($15/agent) covers single-pipeline ticket management; Professional ($90/agent) adds multiple ticket pipelines, teams, and advanced automation; Enterprise ($130/agent) adds custom objects, custom reporting types, and sandbox environments. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a HubSpot edition recommendation.
Schema design and CI lookup mapping
We design the destination schema in HubSpot. This includes provisioning custom ticket properties for SLA timer fields, approval status, risk assessment levels, and ITSM record type indicators; configuring ticket pipelines and stages mapped from Ivanti incident and service request states; mapping CI records to HubSpot Companies and Assets with relationship metadata preserved in custom fields; and designing the Knowledge Base article structure with article-to-ticket linkage properties. Self-service portal and Virtual Agent gaps are documented here as a separate manual rebuild workstream.
Pre-migration data quality assessment
We run a data quality scan against the Ivanti source: identifying orphaned records with missing required fields, duplicate CI entries, oversized attachments exceeding HubSpot limits, inactive users with no HubSpot Contact match, and Knowledge Articles exceeding HubSpot's article size threshold. We produce a data quality report and a remediation checklist for the customer's Ivanti admin to address before migration begins. This step prevents record rejection at import time and reduces reconciliation effort post-migration.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a HubSpot development or staging account using production-like data volume. The customer's service desk lead reconciles record counts across all object types, spot-checks 25-50 random tickets against the Ivanti source (status, priority, assignee, description, conversation threads, SLA fields), and verifies that CI-to-Asset linkage is preserved. Any mapping corrections and data quality issues found here are resolved before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Contacts (from Ivanti Employees and Users), Companies (from Ivanti organizational CIs), Assets (from Ivanti Asset records with CI linkage preserved), Tickets (Incidents, Service Requests, Change Records, Problems with SLA fields and approval status carried as properties), Knowledge Base articles (with article-to-ticket linkage), and Attachments (with oversized files handled via SFTP and post-migration linkage). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. We handle Ivanti's 100,000 daily API call limit by batching extraction across a multi-day window with exponential backoff.
Cutover, validation, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Ivanti writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable HubSpot Service Hub as the system of record. We deliver the ITSM workflow inventory document — covering every Ivanti SLA policy, approval chain, CAB process, and queue routing rule — to the customer's HubSpot admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Ivanti workflow logic as HubSpot workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
