SAP Sales Cloud to HubSpot
SAP's cloud CRM for sales and service, formerly SAP Cloud for Customer (C4C). It is also sold as SAP Sales Cloud and SAP Service Cloud, with a V2 generation alongside the earlier C4C tenants.
SAP Sales Cloud data can move into HubSpot, landing mainly in Sales Hub. 3 of 8 mapped objects move directly (Accounts, Contacts and Opportunities); 4 items need manual work and 2 do not move. Plan roughly 3-6 weeks for a small move and 12-24 weeks for a large one.

No price list: cost follows volume, custom objects and how much logic must be rebuilt. Answer four quick questions for a planning range.
The three scenarios
Small migration
<50k records
Core objects only.
Mid migration
50k-500k records
Activities and custom fields.
Large migration
>500k records
Custom objects, multiple business units, heavy automation.
What moves the number
Timeline ranges are planning estimates, not a quote. A partner confirms scope after discovery.
Access, mapping and limits
Start with how data leaves SAP Sales Cloud: what you need to get in, what lands in HubSpot, and what will not.
REST/OData (C4C OData v1 API and newer V2 REST APIs per object)
A tenant URL and an admin or technical user with API access. Auth methods other than basic are not confirmed.
Admin user in the tenant; exact business roles are not confirmed.
Choose your route
How will you move the data?
No native connector was found.
- You need: A tenant URL and an admin or technical user with API access. Auth methods other than basic are not confirmed.
- Permission: Admin user in the tenant; exact business roles are not confirmed.
Native imports often bring over only some data, so check coverage per object in the mapping below.
Export each object, clean it, then import it into HubSpot.
- Data Workbench work center: export records for standard and custom objects, based on OData web services
- OData API v1 at /sap/c4c/odata/v1/c4codataapi
- V2 REST APIs per object, e.g. /sap/c4c/api/v1/account-service/accounts (metadata is fetched per object)
Limits: To confirm
Migration and sync tools can move more than a plain import. Confirm which objects each one supports before you choose.
Best when volume is high, custom objects are many or automation is heavy. That is the Large scenario: 12-24 weeks, usually phased.

Hover or tap anything on the left to see where it lands.
| Source object | In HubSpot | Moves | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts | Companies | yes | A HubSpot Companies to C4C Accounts sync is described by an integration vendor; a one-time export can use the same mapping. |
| Contacts | Contacts | yes | Contact persons map to HubSpot Contacts, and the account relationship becomes a Company association. |
| Opportunities | Deals | yes | The Elixir blog describes opportunity data flowing to HubSpot as a deal. Pipeline and stage mapping are needed. |
| Leads | Contacts | partial | Leads are synced by integration vendors. Whether to import them as contacts with a lifecycle stage is a design decision. |
| Activities (appointments, tasks, phone calls, emails) | Meetings, Tasks, Calls, Emails, Notes | partial | MARINI says it syncs activities. Export coverage per activity type and its associations must be audited. |
| Employees/owners | Contacts | manual | Owners need to be mapped to HubSpot users by email address. |
| Products and quotes | Products, Quotes, Line items | manual | Not confirmed in the sources. Check export coverage in Data Workbench. |
| Service tickets | Tickets | manual | Applies if Service Cloud is also in use. Not confirmed in the sources. |
What to expect
Not exportable as HubSpot automation. Rebuild in HubSpot workflows.
Not confirmed as portable. Rebuild in HubSpot.
Opportunity phases and process types differ from HubSpot pipelines.
Per the analyst scope, these are not carried over by data export.
Data Workbench and the OData APIs expose entities separately, so links between records must be rebuilt using IDs.
Data Workbench templates keep field and code list mappings, but HubSpot property types must be created first.
Export the parent IDs with every activity and test an association import on a sample.
Confirm the tenant version and use one API family for the whole extract.
Page the extracts and run them off-peak. Confirm limits with SAP.
Deduplicate before import and keep the SAP ID in a custom property.
Data governance and compliance
Decide what is allowed to move before anything is exported. Tick each gate once it is agreed.
How we researched this page
How much to trust each section, and where it comes from.
Export paths (Data Workbench, OData APIs) are backed by SAP sources. There is no HubSpot-doc-backed connector or object mapping, and the SAP object and limit details rest on category-level knowledge. The access source is dated, and V1 versus V2 API coverage is unconfirmed.
