Overview
Moving from Kapture CX to HubSpot Service Hub is a structural migration that relocates support data into a unified CRM context. Kapture CX organizes support around Tickets, Queues, and Teams with an omnichannel inbox covering email, voice, WhatsApp, and social channels; HubSpot Service Hub uses Tickets with Pipelines and a Conversations Inbox that consolidates channels differently. We preserve the full conversation thread per ticket (including internal notes and public replies), attach voice transcripts to the correct ticket record, and map custom ticket fields to HubSpot custom properties created before import. The GenAI Knowledge Base and AI routing configurations do not export as AI metadata; we flag these so the customer can plan a knowledge-base reindex effort in HubSpot's knowledge base editor. SLA Policies, Canned Responses, and Queue hierarchies require manual rebuild as HubSpot has no direct equivalent to Kapture's rule engine. Workflows and Auto-Triggers do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory of every active automation for the customer's admin to rebuild in HubSpot Workflows post-migration.
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 Kapture CX 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.
Kapture CX
Ticket
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1Kapture CX Tickets migrate 1:1 to HubSpot Service Hub Tickets. Each ticket retains its unique ID (stored in a custom property kapture_ticket_id__c for reference), source channel, status, priority, assignee, and created/updated timestamps. Kapture folder and queue assignments map to a custom ticket property kapture_queue__c since HubSpot has no native queue object. Closed ticket history migrates with full thread preservation.
Kapture CX
Customer 360 Contact
HubSpot Service Hub
Contact
1:1Kapture CX Contact records (Customer 360 profiles) map directly to HubSpot Contacts. Email is the primary dedupe key. Name, phone, company association, and custom contact properties migrate cleanly. Where Kapture CX links a contact to an organization record, we resolve the Organization-to-Company mapping so that Contact-Company associations are preserved in HubSpot.
Kapture CX
Organization
HubSpot Service Hub
Company
1:1Kapture CX organization-level records (company name, industry, address) map to HubSpot Companies. We use company domain as the dedupe key. If Kapture CX organization is empty for a given contact, we create a placeholder Company record or attach to an existing one by domain match.
Kapture CX
Conversation (Email)
HubSpot Service Hub
Conversation Message
1:1Kapture CX email conversation entries migrate as HubSpot Conversation Messages under the migrated Ticket. Each message preserves sender, recipient, body text, timestamp, and direction (inbound/outbound). Internal notes from Kapture migrate as internal Conversation Messages in HubSpot. Attachments on email messages migrate as file attachments linked to the conversation.
Kapture CX
Conversation (WhatsApp, Chat, Social)
HubSpot Service Hub
Conversation Message
1:1Kapture CX WhatsApp, live chat, and social channel messages migrate to HubSpot Conversation Messages with the channel type preserved in a custom property kapture_channel__c. HubSpot's Conversations inbox natively supports these channels via integrations; during migration, we set the channel metadata so that the conversation thread is correctly attributed regardless of which HubSpot channel it originated from.
Kapture CX
Conversation (Voice Transcript)
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket Attachment + Custom Property
lossyVoice transcripts stored in Kapture CX under the Conversation object do not map to a native HubSpot object. We attach the transcript as a file to the parent Ticket and store transcript metadata (call duration, caller number, disposition) in custom ticket properties (kapture_call_duration__c, kapture_disposition__c, kapture_caller__c). The actual recording URL from Kapture CX is a signed link that may expire; we cache recordings during the migration window and provide instructions for the customer to upload to HubSpot Files or a linked storage bucket.
Kapture CX
Agent
HubSpot Service Hub
User
1:1Kapture CX agent records (name, email, role) map to HubSpot Users. We match agents by email. Kapture CX role names (Admin, Supervisor, Agent) do not map directly to HubSpot's permission model, so we document role-to-HubSpot-access mapping during scoping. Agents without matching HubSpot Users enter a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision accounts before migration continues.
Kapture CX
Team
HubSpot Service Hub
HubSpot Group
1:1Kapture CX Teams group agents and route tickets. We create HubSpot Groups with matching names and assign migrated agents to these Groups. Where Kapture CX team routing rules are tied to queue assignment, we preserve the team assignment as a custom ticket property (kapture_team__c) so that routing logic can be rebuilt using HubSpot Workflows after migration.
Kapture CX
Knowledge Base Article
HubSpot Service Hub
Knowledge Base Article
1:1Kapture CX Knowledge Base articles (text, structure, attachments, category assignment) migrate to HubSpot Knowledge Base articles. We map Kapture CX article categories to HubSpot Knowledge Base categories. Internal/external visibility flags migrate as HubSpot article visibility settings. Note: Kapture CX GenAI Knowledge Base stores article relevance rankings, auto-suggest NLP tuning, and AI-context metadata that are not accessible via export. We flag the full list of AI-enabled articles during scoping so the customer can plan a reindex effort in HubSpot's knowledge base editor post-migration.
Kapture CX
Canned Response
HubSpot Service Hub
Snippet or Template
lossyKapture CX Canned Responses migrate as HubSpot Snippets (short text shortcuts) or email Templates depending on the response length and token variable usage. Folder assignments from Kapture CX map to HubSpot Snippet folders. Token variables in Kapture CX responses (e.g., {{contact.name}}) require conversion to HubSpot token format ({{contact.name}}) during import preparation.
Kapture CX
SLA Policy
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom SLA Configuration
lossyKapture CX SLA Policies (First Response Time and Resolution Time targets per priority or queue) do not have a direct HubSpot native equivalent below Professional tier. We map SLA targets to a combination of custom ticket date properties (frt_target__c, resolution_target__c) and HubSpot Workflows that enforce SLA milestones. At Service Hub Professional, SLA Management is available with SLA policies that can be mapped more directly.
Kapture CX
Custom Ticket Field
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Ticket Property
lossyKapture CX custom ticket fields (dropdowns, checkboxes, date fields, numeric fields) migrate as HubSpot custom ticket properties. We create the destination property in HubSpot with the matching type before migration begins. The custom field values migrate with each ticket. Type mismatches (e.g., Kapture multi-select to HubSpot single-select) are resolved during the transform phase.
Kapture CX
Folder and Queue
HubSpot Service Hub
Custom Ticket Property
lossyKapture CX folder and queue hierarchies do not map to a native HubSpot object. We preserve folder names and queue assignments as custom ticket properties (kapture_folder__c, kapture_queue__c). Queue-to-agent routing rules from Kapture CX are documented as a written routing-map for the customer's admin to rebuild using HubSpot Workflows or team assignments post-migration.
Kapture CX
Tag
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket Tag or Custom Property
1:1Kapture CX flat ticket tags migrate 1:1 to HubSpot Ticket tags. Where the customer's tagging taxonomy is complex (hierarchical tags in Kapture), we flatten the hierarchy into hyphenated labels (e.g., tier-2-billing) and store them in a custom ticket property for consistent filtering.
Kapture CX
Attachment
HubSpot Service Hub
File
1:1File attachments on tickets and knowledge base articles migrate to HubSpot Files attached to the parent record. We migrate inline images and file attachments within HubSpot's file size limits. Files exceeding HubSpot's limit are flagged during the pre-migration audit, and the customer chooses whether to compress, store externally, or skip.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and tier alignment
We audit the Kapture CX portal across tier (Essential, Professional, Enterprise), custom ticket fields, Teams and Queue hierarchy, knowledge base article count, active SLA policies, active Auto-Triggers and Contextual SOPs, conversation volume per channel (email, voice, WhatsApp, social), and agent seat count. We pair this with a HubSpot Service Hub tier recommendation: Starter ($15/seat) covers basic ticketing; Professional ($90/seat) adds SLA Management, multiple pipelines, and Breeze AI features; Enterprise is required only for advanced reporting or custom objects. The discovery output is a written migration scope, a HubSpot tier recommendation, and a list of items that will require manual rebuild post-migration.
Schema design and custom property creation
We create the destination schema in HubSpot before any data migration. This includes creating custom ticket properties for every Kapture CX custom ticket field (with type-matched HubSpot property types), custom contact and company properties for any Kapture CX custom contact fields, HubSpot Groups matching Kapture CX Teams, and Knowledge Base categories matching Kapture CX article categories. We also create custom SLA date properties (frt_target__c, resolution_target__c) for Essential-to-Starter migrations that lack native SLA Management. Schema is validated in a HubSpot test portal before production.
Voice transcript preparation
We extract voice transcripts from Kapture CX under the Conversation object with channel type Voice. We cache recording references and alert the customer to the signed-link expiry risk. For each voice conversation, we prepare a transcript file and map it to the parent ticket. The customer uploads recordings to HubSpot Files or a linked cloud bucket during the migration window. This step runs in parallel with schema design and is often the most time-consuming pre-migration task.
Sample migration and reconciliation
We run a sample migration of up to 100 random tickets and their associated contacts, companies, conversations, and attachments into a HubSpot test portal. The customer's support operations lead reviews the migrated sample, spot-checks conversation thread integrity, validates custom field values, and confirms that voice transcripts attached to the correct tickets. Mapping corrections happen in this phase. The customer approves the sample before production migration begins.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (from Kapture CX Organizations), Contacts (with Company association resolved), Tickets (with custom properties and assignee resolved), Conversation Messages (email, WhatsApp, chat, social threads under each ticket), Voice Transcripts (attached to parent ticket), Knowledge Base Articles (with category assignment), Snippets and Templates (from Canned Responses), and Tags. SLA policies, queue assignments, and team memberships are written as custom property values and Group memberships respectively. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins.
Cutover, delta sync, and workflow rebuild handoff
We freeze Kapture CX writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable HubSpot as the system of record. We deliver the automation audit document listing every Kapture CX Auto-Trigger and Contextual SOP with its conditions, actions, and a recommended HubSpot Workflow equivalent. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any ticket threading issues, custom property mismatches, or contact deduplication conflicts raised by the customer's support team. We do not rebuild Kapture CX workflows as HubSpot Workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
