Overview
Moving from REVE Chat to HubSpot Service Hub is a structural migration from a conversation-centric data model to a ticket-centric one. REVE Chat organizes around live chat sessions and conversation streams with tickets as a secondary layer, while HubSpot Service Hub treats Tickets as the primary record with Conversations attached to them. We resolve that schema shift during scoping by mapping REVE Chat Conversations to HubSpot Tickets with conversation content preserved as threaded replies, and by mapping REVE Chat Chat Sessions to ticket-linked engagement records. Agent profiles migrate by email match with role assignments preserved as HubSpot User roles. Chat history retention varies by REVE Chat plan tier—Starter at 90 days, Growth at 365 days, Enterprise at unlimited—and we flag records outside the applicable window before migration begins so customers know what cannot be recovered. Chatbot flows built in REVE Chat's Visual Flow Builder do not migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of every flow with its trigger logic and decision branches for the customer's admin to rebuild in HubSpot's workflow builder. We do not migrate workflows, automations, or reporting dashboards. We do not provide post-migration admin support or training as standard scope.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a REVE Chat 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.
REVE Chat
Conversation
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1REVE Chat Conversations map to HubSpot Tickets as the destination record. The conversation transcript (all customer and agent messages with timestamps) migrates as threaded Ticket Replies in HubSpot's conversation inbox. Subject line is derived from the first customer message or a configurable subject template. Status, priority, and assignee migrate from the linked REVE Chat Ticket record. If the REVE Chat account has conversations without a corresponding Ticket, we create a standalone Ticket with the conversation content preserved.
REVE Chat
Chat Session
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket Reply (engagement metadata)
1:1Each REVE Chat Chat Session generates a visitor interaction record with source channel, device info, page context, and outcome. Session metadata migrates as custom ticket properties on the linked HubSpot Ticket: session_source, device_type, page_url, and session_outcome. This preserves the session context that agents used for routing and prioritization in REVE Chat without creating duplicate records in HubSpot.
REVE Chat
Ticket
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1REVE Chat Tickets map directly to HubSpot Tickets. Status (open, pending, resolved, closed) maps to HubSpot Ticket status values. Priority maps to HubSpot Ticket priority (low, medium, high, urgent). Assignee maps to HubSpot User via email resolution. Tags migrate to HubSpot Ticket tags. Any linked conversation in REVE Chat is preserved as the primary Ticket Replies thread. Custom fields on REVE Chat tickets migrate as HubSpot custom ticket properties of equivalent type.
REVE Chat
Agent
HubSpot Service Hub
User
1:1REVE Chat Agent records (display name, email, role: admin, supervisor, agent) map to HubSpot Users. We resolve by email match against the HubSpot portal. Role assignments (admin, supervisor, agent) map to HubSpot User roles. The REVE Chat seat ceiling (Free=1, Starter=10, Growth=25, Enterprise=unlimited) is verified against the destination HubSpot plan during scoping; any agent count exceeding the destination plan triggers a flag before migration begins. Agents without a matching HubSpot User go to a reconciliation queue for manual provisioning.
REVE Chat
Customer
HubSpot Service Hub
Contact
1:1REVE Chat Customer profiles (name, email, phone, company, custom labels) map to HubSpot Contacts. Custom labels migrate as key-value custom properties on the Contact. Chat history for each customer links to the Contact record via the migrated Ticket. If the HubSpot portal also contains Companies, the REVE Chat company field maps to the HubSpot Company lookup on Contact.
REVE Chat
Canned Response
HubSpot Service Hub
Snippets (Knowledge Library)
lossyREVE Chat canned responses (saved reply templates with shortcut triggers) migrate to HubSpot Snippets in the Knowledge Library. Shortcut triggers migrate as Snippet shortcut keys. Snippets are scoped to individual users by default in HubSpot; during migration we apply a shared Snippet library configuration so the team has access without manual redistribution. Some canned response fields are plan-gated on the source side, which we verify against the source plan during scoping.
REVE Chat
Department
HubSpot Service Hub
Team
lossyREVE Chat Departments control routing and agent assignment. We map department configurations to HubSpot Teams, preserving the routing logic as best as possible within HubSpot's team-based inbox routing. Note that REVE Chat's skill-based and department-based routing may require reconfiguration in HubSpot's inbox settings post-migration.
REVE Chat
Chatbot Flow
HubSpot Service Hub
Workflow (written inventory only)
lossyChatbot flows built in REVE Chat's Visual Flow Builder include trigger conditions, decision branches, and response actions. The Visual Flow Builder uses proprietary logic that cannot be exported in a machine-readable format compatible with HubSpot. We do not migrate chatbot flows as code. We deliver a written inventory of every active chatbot flow with its trigger, conditions, decision tree, and response actions, which the customer's admin uses to rebuild in HubSpot's workflow builder or Breeze AI. This inventory is produced during the scoping phase.
REVE Chat
Reports and Analytics
HubSpot Service Hub
Reports (written inventory only)
lossyREVE Chat reporting is conversation-centric (response time, agent activity, session counts). HubSpot Service Hub reporting is ticket-centric (CSAT, first response time, resolution time by pipeline and team). These are different analytical models with no direct field mapping. We deliver a written inventory of every REVE Chat report with its metrics and dimensions, which the customer's admin rebuilds as HubSpot ticket reports. We do not migrate reports as code or as configured dashboard objects.
REVE Chat
Media Attachments
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket Attachment
1:1Files and images shared within REVE Chat conversations are exported alongside transcript records. Attachment URLs pointing to REVE Chat storage are preserved as links within the migrated Ticket Replies. Customers should confirm whether they want to download and re-upload files to HubSpot's file storage or retain the REVE Chat-hosted URLs. If re-upload is required, we flag the file count and total size during scoping and adjust the migration scope accordingly.
REVE Chat
Voice Call
HubSpot Service Hub
Call (HubSpot Conversations API)
1:1Voice bot and audio call records in REVE Chat (session subtype with duration, direction, and outcome) map to HubSpot Call records via the HubSpot Conversations API. We migrate call metadata (duration, direction, outcome) as Call object properties. Note that the voice channel requires separate infrastructure validation in HubSpot if the customer uses REVE Chat's native voice capability; we confirm voice channel status during scoping and flag whether a HubSpot calling plan add-on is required.
REVE Chat
Social Channels (Facebook, Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram)
HubSpot Service Hub
Conversations (social channel inbox)
1:1Social channel messages (Facebook Messenger, Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram) migrate as HubSpot Conversations in the social channel inbox. Channel source is preserved as a conversation property. Note that Instagram, WhatsApp, Viber, and Telegram may be add-ons or tier-gated on REVE Chat Starter, and HubSpot's Conversations inbox supports Facebook Messenger and Instagram Direct natively with additional channels via integrations. We confirm channel availability against both platforms during scoping and flag any channel records that may not transfer to HubSpot's supported channel set.

Migration approach
Discovery and scoping
We audit the source REVE Chat account across plan tier (Starter/Growth/Enterprise), chat history retention window, active agent count, channel inventory (web, mobile, Facebook, Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram, voice), chatbot flow count, canned response inventory, and ticket volume. We verify the seat ceiling against the source plan and confirm the destination HubSpot Service Hub plan has sufficient capacity for all migrating agents. We request API documentation access directly from the REVE Chat product team if not available via public docs. The discovery output is a written migration scope document including record counts by object, retention window confirmation, and channel availability mapping.
Retention window validation and history export
We confirm which conversations fall within the REVE Chat plan's retention window (90 days Starter, 365 days Growth, unlimited Enterprise). Any records outside the retention window are flagged as unrecoverable before migration begins. We export full conversation transcripts, chat session metadata, ticket records, agent profiles, customer profiles, canned responses, and department configurations from REVE Chat via API. If the API export is rate-limited, we implement exponential backoff and batch chunking to avoid throttling.
Destination schema preparation in HubSpot sandbox
We prepare the HubSpot destination environment: configuring ticket pipelines and stages to match the REVE Chat ticket status workflow, setting up Teams to match REVE Chat Departments, creating custom ticket properties for session metadata fields (session_source, device_type, page_url), and provisioning any missing HubSpot Users to match the REVE Chat agent roster. Schema is validated in HubSpot sandbox before production migration begins. Agent roles are mapped from REVE Chat (admin, supervisor, agent) to HubSpot User roles during this phase.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into HubSpot sandbox using production-like data volume: Contacts (from REVE Chat Customers), Tickets (from REVE Chat Tickets with Conversation content as Replies), Users (from REVE Chat Agents), and Snippets (from REVE Chat Canned Responses). The customer's admin reconciles record counts, spot-checks migrated tickets against source transcripts, verifies agent assignments, and signs off the mapping before production migration. Any mapping corrections happen here.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Contacts first (from REVE Chat Customers), then Tickets with conversation content preserved as threaded replies, then agent-user reconciliation, then Snippets. Social channel messages migrate as HubSpot Conversations in the social inbox. Voice call metadata migrates via HubSpot Conversations API. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. Chat history outside the retention window is not migrated and is noted as unrecoverable in the final handoff document.
Cutover, validation, and handoff
We freeze REVE Chat 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 chatbot flow inventory document (for Visual Flow Builder rebuild in HubSpot workflow builder), the reports inventory document (for REVE Chat analytics rebuild in HubSpot reports), and a migration summary with record counts by object. We support a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild chatbot flows or reports as code; these are separate engagements or internal admin tasks.
