LeadSquared Sales to HubSpot
Sales CRM and marketing automation platform. Its REST API covers leads, opportunities, activities, tasks and users.
LeadSquared Sales data can move into HubSpot, landing mainly in Sales Hub. 1 of 7 mapped objects move directly (Leads); 4 items need manual work and 2 do not move. Plan roughly 2-4 weeks for a small move and 8-16 weeks for a large one.
Migration checklist for LeadSquared Sales
Three phases, specific to this system. Tick steps off as you go.

0 of 5 doneWhat will it take?
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 contacts, few custom fields
Mostly CSV import.
Mid migration
50k-500k leads with activities and opportunities
Batched exports and activity mapping.
Large migration
>500k leads, heavy custom activities, complex automation
API-based extraction and extensive rebuild.
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 LeadSquared Sales: what you need to get in, what lands in HubSpot, and what will not.
REST (v2 APIs, plus Async API)
Host URL, AccessKey and SecretKey from the account's API settings. Async API must be enabled to get an API host and key.
Some APIs (e.g. Portal API) fail unless the keys belong to an administrator. Export access can be restricted by permission templates.
Async APIs are documented as free from rate limits. Limits for other v2 APIs were not confirmed. One third-party source cites 5 calls/second for its own integration.
Choose your route
How will you move the data?
No native connector was found.
- You need: Host URL, AccessKey and SecretKey from the account's API settings. Async API must be enabled to get an API host and key.
- Permission: Some APIs (e.g. Portal API) fail unless the keys belong to an administrator. Export access can be restricted by permission templates.
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.
- Lead CSV export from Manage Leads, Smart Views or lists (emailed CSV; 100k per request by default)
- Activity CSV export from Manage Activities (up to 500k per request)
- Large Exportable Reports, enabled via account manager (default 5 reports/day)
- Default cap of 100k leads, activities, opportunities and tasks, extendable to 500k on request
- API extraction of leads, opportunities, activities, tasks and users
Limits: Async APIs are documented as free from rate limits. Limits for other v2 APIs were not confirmed. One third-party source cites 5 calls/second for its own integration.
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: 8-16 weeks, usually phased.

In LeadSquared Sales
In HubSpot
Hover or tap anything on the left to see where it lands.
| Source object | In HubSpot | Moves | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Leads | Contacts | yes | Standard and custom lead fields export to CSV. Mapping to Contacts is the usual approach. |
| Accounts | Companies | partial | The export docs mention Accounts access, but no dedicated account export path was verified. Check the account/lead relationship export. |
| Opportunities | Deals | partial | Opportunity exports are covered by the same limits and Large Exportable Reports. Opportunity-to-lead linkage must be checked in the export. |
| Activities (system and custom) | Notes, Calls, Emails, Meetings | partial | Activities export to CSV. Custom activity types need manual mapping to HubSpot engagement types or custom objects. |
| Tasks | Tasks | partial | Tasks fall under the same export limits. The task export route was not verified. |
| Users/owners | Contacts (owner property) | manual | The API exposes users. Owner mapping needs a manual user-to-HubSpot-user match. |
| Pipelines/lead stages | Deals (pipelines) | manual | Recreate pipelines and stages in HubSpot by hand. No export path was verified. |
What to expect
Docs state file type fields cannot be exported.
No export-to-HubSpot path found. These must be rebuilt.
Logic is not portable.
Permissions are defined per template in LeadSquared.
Reports are platform-specific.
CSV exports are per object, so linking keys must be verified.
Split by lists or Lead Number ranges. Request the higher limit or Large Exportable Reports, which may cost extra.
Standardise the account time zone before export.
Back up before cleanup.
Store keys in a secrets vault and rotate after migration.
Have an admin run the exports, or adjust the template.
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.
Access, auth and export paths are backed by LeadSquared docs. HubSpot-side object mapping, a native connector and the per-minute rate limits were not verified. Those parts rest on category-level knowledge.
