Overview
Moving from Masergy CCaaS to HubSpot Service Hub is a helpdesk-layer extraction from a platform not designed for customer data portability. Masergy does not publish a customer-accessible API for exporting contact records, queue configurations, or ticket histories; all extraction requires manual portal navigation or Comcast Business professional services engagement, which extends timelines compared to migrations from platforms with open APIs. We extract CCaaS customer and contact records from the Masergy or Comcast Business portal, map agent identities to HubSpot Users, preserve queue routing logic as ticket Pipelines and Teams, and migrate ticket history as HubSpot Tickets. Call recordings, MDR alert history, SD-WAN configurations, dial plans, and WAN circuits are outside the helpdesk scope and do not migrate; we flag these as infrastructure or compliance records requiring separate retention. Workflows, automation rules, and portal configurations are documented in a written handoff inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in HubSpot Service Hub.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Masergy 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.
Masergy
CCaaS Contact / Customer
HubSpot Service Hub
Contact
1:1Masergy CCaaS customer records (name, email, phone, company affiliation, queue assignment history) map to HubSpot Contact. The contact's primary extension or queue entitlement from Masergy is preserved as a custom HubSpot Property (masergy_extension__c). We extract these records manually from the Masergy or Comcast Business portal during discovery because no API export path exists. Customer records are imported before any Agent records to satisfy HubSpot's contact ownership model.
Masergy
Company / Organization
HubSpot Service Hub
Company
1:1Masergy CCaaS organizations attached to customer records map to HubSpot Company. The organization's domain or account identifier from Masergy becomes the Company domain field. If Masergy does not hold explicit organization records (some CCaaS deployments use only individual contact profiles), we create placeholder Company records or merge contacts into the customer's existing HubSpot Company if a CRM integration already exists.
Masergy
Agent
HubSpot Service Hub
User
1:1Masergy CCaaS agent profiles (login credentials, supervisor assignments, queue entitlements) map to HubSpot Users. The agent's email address is the dedupe and match key. Masergy supervisor-to-agent relationships map to HubSpot Team membership. Queue entitlements from Masergy are translated into HubSpot Service Hub seat assignments and optionally into HubSpot Teams. Agents without email addresses in Masergy receive a generated placeholder email for provisioning, pending admin confirmation.
Masergy
Team
HubSpot Service Hub
Team
1:1Masergy team structures (supervisor-to-agent hierarchies, team-level queue assignments) map to HubSpot Teams. We export team rosters from Masergy CCaaS and reapply them to HubSpot's Team management under Settings > Users & Teams. If Masergy teams map to specific contact center queues, we note the queue-to-team mapping for reconciliation against HubSpot ticket Pipelines.
Masergy
Contact Center Queue
HubSpot Service Hub
Pipeline
1:1Masergy CCaaS queue definitions (routing rules, priority settings, agent group memberships) map to HubSpot Service Hub Pipelines. Queue routing logic (priority-based, round-robin, skill-based) is preserved as ticket Pipeline logic in HubSpot. Each Masergy queue becomes a separate HubSpot Pipeline, with queue priority levels mapped to HubSpot Pipeline stage priorities. Queue-to-agent assignments are resolved through the Agent-to-User mapping before ticket import begins.
Masergy
Ticket / Support Case
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1Masergy CCaaS ticket or case records (subject, description, status, priority, agent assignment, timestamps) map to HubSpot Service Hub Tickets. We map the Masergy ticket status to the corresponding HubSpot Pipeline stage. Agent assignments are resolved via the Agent-to-User lookup created in the User provisioning phase. Ticket creation timestamp is preserved as the HubSpot hs_ticket_open_date property. Any Masergy custom ticket fields (e.g., escalation level, account tier) become HubSpot custom ticket properties.
Masergy
Knowledge Base (if present)
HubSpot Service Hub
Knowledge Base Article
1:1If Masergy CCaaS includes a customer-facing knowledge base or FAQ portal (not standard on all Masergy tiers), we export articles as structured HTML and import them as HubSpot Knowledge Base articles. Masergy KB categories map to HubSpot Knowledge Base categories. Article-to-queue associations are noted for potential rebuild as HubSpot Help Desk article routing rules.
Masergy
Engagement: Email
HubSpot Service Hub
Engagement: Email
1:1Masergy CCaaS email interaction records (email content, sender, recipient, timestamp, thread reference) map to HubSpot Service Hub engagement emails. The email is linked to the corresponding HubSpot Contact record via the contact lookup. Thread continuity (reply-chain context) is preserved where Masergy exposes thread identifiers; otherwise emails are imported as individual engagement records without threading.
Masergy
Engagement: Call
HubSpot Service Hub
Engagement: Call
1:1Masergy CCaaS call records (caller ID, duration, queue, agent, disposition, timestamp) map to HubSpot engagement calls. Call duration and disposition are preserved as HubSpot call engagement properties. The agent assignment resolves via the Agent-to-User lookup. Call recording URLs stored in Masergy are flagged as non-portable (see Gotchas); the URL is noted in a custom property but the actual recording file cannot be transferred.
Masergy
Engagement: Meeting / Chat
HubSpot Service Hub
Engagement: Meeting / Conversation
1:1Masergy CCaaS meeting or chat records map to HubSpot Service Hub engagement meetings (for scheduled meetings) or conversations (for live chat sessions). Chat transcripts are imported as conversation records attached to the HubSpot Contact. Scheduled meeting records include start time, end time, and participant list resolved via contact and agent lookups.
Masergy
SD-WAN Site (out of scope for helpdesk)
HubSpot Service Hub
N/A
lossyMasergy SD-WAN site configurations (tunnel definitions, WAN circuit assignments, routing policies) are networking infrastructure data outside the helpdesk migration scope. We do not migrate SD-WAN configurations to HubSpot Service Hub. These are documented in a separate infrastructure scope and would require a different migration path (e.g., to another SD-WAN vendor or a network configuration management tool). Customers separating SD-WAN from CCaaS should coordinate the networking exit separately.
Masergy
Dial Plan
HubSpot Service Hub
N/A
lossyMasergy UCaaS dial plans (routing rules for extensions, DID numbers, outbound call routing) are telecommunications configuration data that do not map to HubSpot Service Hub objects. Dial plan rules are documented in a configuration handoff inventory for the customer's telecom or network team to re-implement if the UCaaS layer also migrates. HubSpot Service Hub does not manage dial plan routing.

Migration approach
Discovery and portal identification
We audit the source Masergy CCaaS environment by identifying which portal stack hosts the data: legacy Masergy portal (isc.masergy.com, ucportalus.comcast.com) or Comcast Business portal (business.comcast.com). We inventory contact records, agent profiles, queue configurations, ticket history, engagement logs, and any knowledge base content. We also review the Masergy contract for ETF clauses, notice periods, and remaining term. The discovery output is a written extraction scope, a portal credentials checklist, and a contract status confirmation required before extraction begins.
Manual data extraction and Comcast Business coordination
Because Masergy has no customer API, we extract data manually from the identified portal or coordinate with Comcast Business professional services for bulk export. This step covers CCaaS contact records, agent profiles, team structures, queue definitions, ticket histories, and engagement logs. Call recording URLs are noted but the actual audio files are flagged as non-portable. We structure all extracted data into CSV or JSON formats compatible with HubSpot's import tools. This phase typically takes two to four weeks depending on data volume and Comcast Business response time for professional services requests.
HubSpot environment setup and agent-to-User provisioning
We configure HubSpot Service Hub before any data arrives. This includes setting up the HubSpot portal (or identifying an existing HubSpot portal if the customer already uses HubSpot CRM), provisioning HubSpot Users for each Masergy agent (resolving by email match), creating HubSpot Teams mapped from Masergy team structures, and configuring Pipelines and Stages corresponding to Masergy queue routing rules. We also create any custom Contact, Company, or Ticket properties needed to preserve Masergy-specific fields that do not map directly to HubSpot defaults.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a HubSpot Sandbox or staging environment using a representative data sample. The customer reconciles record counts (contacts imported, agents provisioned, tickets migrated, engagement history present), spot-checks 25-50 records against the source portal, and validates queue-to-pipeline mapping and agent-to-user assignment. Any mapping corrections are made before production migration begins. The sandbox phase also identifies any data quality issues (duplicate contacts, missing agent emails, malformed timestamps) that require source-side cleanup.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Companies (first, as HubSpot Contacts require a Company association), Contacts (with Masergy extension and queue entitlement preserved as custom properties), Users (Masergy agents provisioned as HubSpot Users with Team membership), Teams (team structures applied), Pipelines (queue routing logic translated to HubSpot Pipeline stages), and Tickets (with agent assignment resolved via User lookup and timestamps preserved). Engagement history (emails, calls, meetings) is imported last and linked to the resolved Contact and User records.
Cutover, validation, and workflow handoff
We freeze Masergy CCaaS writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then designate HubSpot Service Hub as the system of record. We deliver a written inventory of Masergy queue configurations, routing rules, and any automation or workflow logic that requires rebuild in HubSpot Service Hub. We do not rebuild Masergy CCaaS automations as HubSpot workflows inside the migration scope; that work is documented for the customer's admin. We support a one-week post-cutover window for reconciliation issues.
