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.
- Bulk Export operation (used to export Contact.ID and ExternalSISID)
- Scheduled Export configurations (xlsx/csv) in the Desktop Client
- iServices API extraction
- Direct SQL reporting on the CRM database
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: 16-30 weeks, usually phased.

In CampusNexus CRM
In HubSpot
Hover or tap anything on the left to see where it lands.
| Source object | In HubSpot | Moves | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lead | Contacts | partial | Leads and Contacts are separate CRM objects. Each carries ExternalSISID and an Integration Flag, so keep the CRM ID and SIS ID as custom properties. |
| Contact (student, guardian) | Contacts | partial | Guardian relationships need association labels or a custom design. No source documents this mapping. |
| Activity | Notes | partial | Activity is a CRM object that can be exported. Mapping to Notes, Calls, Emails, Meetings and Tasks is analyst judgement. |
| Programmes / admissions stages | Deals | manual | Rebuild as a deal pipeline, or as a Custom object for programmes. Lead.Stage values map to deal stages. |
| Student records, grades, fee ledgers | Custom objects | no | Per the scope note, these stay in the SIS/LMS. |
What to expect
These are configuration, not data, and must be rebuilt as HubSpot workflows.
A separate Chat API exists. Its configuration doesn't transfer.
The existing Connector is built for CRM-to-Anthology Student only.
Lead stages are driven by CRM rules.
The Connector enforces US format validation, so values may be inconsistently formatted.
Preserve CRM ID and SIS ID as HubSpot properties, and stop the Connector at cutover.
Exclude SSN and other sensitive fields, and use HubSpot sensitive data properties only if needed.
Confirm the version and hosting with Anthology, and fall back to Bulk Export CSV.
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.
Vendor docs confirm iServices APIs, Bulk Export, an Import Utility and the SIS connector. Public docs don't give an object-to-HubSpot mapping, auth details or rate limits. Those sections rest on category-level knowledge. No HubSpot-specific connector doc was found.
