Overview
Moving from Sunrise HR Case Management (built on Infor OS) to HubSpot Service Hub is a case-to-ticket migration with three structural differences that require deliberate design: escalation rules live in the Infor workflow engine and do not export as data, SLA definitions are Infor OS configuration rather than records, and employee data is sourced from Infor HCM rather than a standalone directory. We handle the full case history migration including attachments, SLA breach timestamps, and case audit trails by mapping HR Cases to HubSpot Tickets, Queries to ticket reply threads, Requests to structured ticket properties, and Employees to Contacts. We use the HubSpot Tickets API with batch chunking and parent-record lookup resolution to preserve case timestamps and assignee relationships. We do not migrate Escalation Rules, Workflow Automations, Power BI Dashboards, or the Infor-specific SLA rules as code; we deliver written inventories of these objects for your administrator to rebuild in HubSpot after cutover.
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 Sunrise HR Case Management 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.
Sunrise HR Case Management
HR Cases
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket
1:1HR Cases in Sunrise map directly to HubSpot Tickets. The Sunrise case identifier becomes the ticket hs_ticket_id__c custom property for audit reference. Case status (Open, In Progress, Resolved, Closed) maps to HubSpot Ticket status with a custom field sunrise_case_status__c preserving the original label. Case priority maps to HubSpot Ticket priority. Created and updated timestamps migrate as-is to preserve case age reporting.
Sunrise HR Case Management
HR Queries
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket (reply thread)
1:manySunrise HR Queries represent lightweight sub-requests within a parent HR Case. We map each Query to a HubSpot Ticket reply (CommunicationLog or additional ticket thread if the customer uses HubSpot Conversations) linked to the migrated parent Ticket. Query text, submitter, handler, and resolution status migrate as structured properties. If HubSpot Conversations inbox is enabled, Queries map to conversation messages within the ticket view.
Sunrise HR Case Management
HR Requests
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket (custom properties)
1:1Structured HR Requests (absence approvals, equipment requests, onboarding tasks) map to HubSpot Tickets with custom properties for request type, approval chain, and current stage. The request type becomes a HubSpot custom picklist field request_type__c; approval stage becomes approval_stage__c. We create these custom properties in HubSpot during schema setup before migration begins.
Sunrise HR Case Management
Employees
HubSpot Service Hub
Contact
1:1Employee records in Sunrise are sourced from Infor HCM (or a connected HRIS). We map the employee identifier to HubSpot Contact with the Infor HCM employee ID stored in a custom field infor_employee_id__c. Employee name, department, job title, and manager relationship migrate to standard Contact fields. If the HRIS integration is a non-Infor connection, we assess the mapping strategy during discovery before case migration begins.
Sunrise HR Case Management
Agents / HR Handlers
HubSpot Service Hub
User
1:1Sunrise HR Agents map to HubSpot Users by email match. Agent name, role, and team assignment migrate to HubSpot User properties and Teams. Team structures in Sunrise may not map 1:1 to HubSpot Teams; we document the mapping during scoping and the customer's HR administrator confirms the HubSpot team structure before migration. HubSpot Service Hub Starter includes one seat; Professional and Enterprise tiers support additional seats.
Sunrise HR Case Management
SLA Definitions
HubSpot Service Hub
SLA Policy (Enterprise) or custom fields
lossySLA definitions in Sunrise are tied to case category in Infor OS configuration and are not exportable as records. We export SLA names, target resolution times, and breach timestamps as data fields on the case record. If the customer has HubSpot Service Hub Enterprise, we configure SLA Policies matching the Sunrise SLA categories and document the category-to-SLA mapping. For Starter and Professional tiers, SLA targets migrate as read-only custom fields sunrise_sla_target__c and sunrise_sla_breach__c.
Sunrise HR Case Management
SLA Breach Records
HubSpot Service Hub
Ticket (read-only custom properties)
1:1Historical SLA breach events stored as audit entries on Sunrise Cases migrate as read-only custom fields on the HubSpot Ticket: sunrise_breach_timestamp__c, sunrise_breached_sla__c, and sunrise_resolution_delta__c. These fields are set as read-only in HubSpot to prevent recalculation conflicts. Preserving breach timestamps maintains compliance reporting continuity for HR teams subject to internal SLA governance.
Sunrise HR Case Management
Escalation Rules
HubSpot Service Hub
Workflow inventory (no migration)
1:1Automatic escalation rules in Sunrise (triggers on SLA breach or case inactivity) are stored in the Infor workflow engine and are not part of the exportable schema. We document every visible escalation rule during discovery: trigger condition, action (reassignment, notification, priority change), and affected case categories. This becomes a written inventory for the customer's administrator to rebuild as HubSpot Workflows post-migration. No escalation rule data migrates to HubSpot.
Sunrise HR Case Management
Attachments
HubSpot Service Hub
File (via HubSpot Files)
1:1Documents attached to Sunrise HR Cases (policies, correspondence, evidence files) are extracted as binary blobs from the Infor REST API. We download each attachment with its original filename and re-upload to HubSpot as a File linked via ContentDocumentLink to the corresponding migrated Ticket. Files retain original upload timestamps and content type. Large attachment volumes (over 10,000 files) require batch chunking with exponential backoff to respect API rate limits.
Sunrise HR Case Management
Tags / Categories
HubSpot Service Hub
Label
1:1Sunrise case categories and tags are exported as flat label lists. We map them to HubSpot Ticket Labels, creating a Label for each unique Sunrise category value. Duplicate categories (where the same label appears in multiple Sunrise category fields) are merged. Any unresolvable conflicts are flagged in the mapping documentation for the administrator to resolve manually.
Sunrise HR Case Management
Workflow Automations
HubSpot Service Hub
Workflow inventory (no migration)
1:1Automated task assignments, notifications, and routing rules in Sunrise live in the Infor workflow engine and are not exportable. We document every visible automation rule: trigger object, conditions, delay, and action sequence. This becomes a written inventory for the administrator to rebuild as HubSpot Workflows (record-triggered or time-based) post-migration. The rebuild scope varies significantly based on automation complexity.
Sunrise HR Case Management
Dashboards / Reports
HubSpot Service Hub
Data extract (no migration)
1:1Sunrise Power BI dashboards are linked to the Infor OS reporting layer and are not portable to HubSpot or any external BI platform. We provide a structured data extract of the underlying case metrics (ticket volume by category, SLA breach rate, agent workload, resolution time) as CSV/Excel so the customer can rebuild reports in HubSpot native reporting or connect to Power BI via the HubSpot Power BI integration. Dashboard rebuild is outside standard migration scope.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the Sunrise HR Case Management portal to establish record counts across HR Cases, Queries, Requests, Employees, and Agents. We assess the Infor HCM integration type to determine employee data mapping strategy. We catalogue visible escalation rules, workflow automations, and SLA definitions for the written inventory. We confirm the attachment volume and storage estimate, and identify any G-Cloud data residency constraints that affect HubSpot region selection. The discovery output is a written migration scope with object counts, mapping rules, and an SLA policy recommendation (for Enterprise) or a custom field design (for Starter and Professional).
HubSpot schema setup and sandbox validation
We configure HubSpot Service Hub in a Sandbox environment before any production data moves. This includes creating custom properties on Ticket (request_type__c, approval_stage__c, sunrise_case_id__c, sunrise_breach_timestamp__c, sunrise_sla_target__c, sunrise_sla_breach__c), configuring Ticket Labels to match Sunrise categories, setting up Teams to match the Sunrise agent structure, and configuring SLA Policies if the customer has Enterprise. We run a small test migration of 50-100 records to validate field mapping and timestamps before scaling to full volume.
Employee-to-Contact reconciliation
We extract every distinct Employee record referenced on Sunrise Cases and match by employee identifier to HubSpot Contacts. If the customer uses the HubSpot-native BambooHR, Workday, or ADP integration, we coordinate with that sync before case migration begins. Any employee record without a matching HubSpot Contact is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's HR administrator to resolve. Owner-to-User mapping (Sunrise Agents to HubSpot Users) is validated simultaneously; missing HubSpot Users are provisioned by the administrator before the production migration phase begins.
Case migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Employees and Agents (validated, matched, or queued), then HR Cases (mapped to Tickets), then Queries (mapped to ticket reply threads), then Requests (mapped to ticket custom properties), then SLA breach records (mapped to read-only ticket fields), and finally Attachments (uploaded as HubSpot Files and linked via ContentDocumentLink). Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. SLA timestamps are set last to avoid recalculation by HubSpot's workflow engine.
Cutover, delta sync, and workflow handoff
We freeze Sunrise writes during cutover and run a final delta migration of any cases modified during the migration window. We validate a random sample of migrated tickets against Sunrise source records for field accuracy. We deliver the escalation rule and workflow automation inventory to the customer's administrator along with a HubSpot Workflow rebuild guide. We support a five-business-day hypercare window where we resolve any data issues raised by the HR team. We do not rebuild Sunrise escalation rules or workflow automations as HubSpot Workflows inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement for the customer's admin team or a HubSpot partner.
