SalesNexus to HubSpot
SalesNexus combines CRM, email marketing and automation, and its site describes it as AI-infused and aimed at B2B sales teams.
SalesNexus data can move into HubSpot, landing mainly in Sales Hub. 1 of 6 mapped objects move directly (Contacts); 5 items need manual work and 3 do not move. Plan roughly 2-4 weeks for a small move and 8-14 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
Up to 10k contacts
Mostly CSV with basic rebuild.
Mid migration
10k-100k contacts with deals and activities
API extraction and workflow rebuild.
Large migration
100k+ contacts with long activity history
Scripted bulk extraction and 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 SalesNexus: what you need to get in, what lands in HubSpot, and what will not.
JSON API (the v1 docs describe JSON requests; one third-party page claims XML/SOAP, which conflicts with the vendor docs)
An API key plus an authorization token. A temporary token comes from get-login-token using email and password. Permanent keys come from SalesNexus support.

- Permission: To confirm
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.
- API calls such as get-contacts and get all data for a contact, group or activity
- Zapier integrations
- Data import/export is listed as a feature, but I found no export format documentation
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: 8-14 weeks, usually phased.

In SalesNexus
In HubSpot
Hover or tap anything on the left to see where it lands.
| Source object | In HubSpot | Moves | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contacts | Contacts | yes | The API can fetch contacts and their fields, and it has field metadata calls. |
| Sales Opportunities | Deals | partial | The API method category exists. Pipeline and stage coverage is unverified. |
| Activities and Tasks | Tasks | partial | Activities can be fetched by activity-id. Call, email and meeting history would need mapping to HubSpot engagement objects. |
| Groups | Custom objects | manual | Groups would probably become static lists or a contact property, not an object. |
| Company or account data | Companies | manual | I found no separate company object in the docs. Company data is likely held as contact fields, so companies would need to be derived and associated. |
| Users | Contacts | manual | The API has a Users category. Owners would be mapped to HubSpot users manually. |
What to expect
Nothing found shows these are exportable as logic, so they must be rebuilt as HubSpot workflows and sequences.
No export path found.
No export path found for report definitions.
The vendor lists automation rules and drip campaigns.
SalesNexus customisable fields need matching properties created.
Mapping to HubSpot deal pipelines is needed.
The docs show per-ID activity fetch, so bulk coverage must be tested.
No export path found.
Export the opt-out fields and load them as unsubscribed or non-marketing contacts.
Prototype the extraction against a sample and compare record counts.
Request a permanent key early and throttle calls.
Deduplicate on company name or domain before import.
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.
The vendor API docs confirm a JSON API with key and token auth, plus contact, activity and group calls. I found no vendor export documentation, no rate limits, and no HubSpot connector. Object mapping and export coverage rest on category-level knowledge and third-party descriptions.
