Access, mapping and limits
Start with how data leaves Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services: what you need to get in, what lands in HubSpot, and what will not.
Dataverse REST Web API (OData) and Organization Service (SOAP)
Entra app registration or service principal with a Dataverse application user. This is category-level knowledge and not confirmed in the sources.
System administrator in the Dataverse environment to configure Synapse Link or Fabric link and to read all tables.

How will you move the data?
HubSpot offers an integration for importing records from Microsoft Cloud for Financial Services.
- You need: Entra app registration or service principal with a Dataverse application user. This is category-level knowledge and not confirmed in the sources.
- Permission: System administrator in the Dataverse environment to configure Synapse Link or Fabric link and to read all tables.
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.
- Dataverse REST Web API (OData) and Organization Service (SOAP); no direct SQL access
- Azure Synapse Link for Dataverse to your own storage (Delta/Parquet)
- Link to Microsoft Fabric
- Dataflows, Power Query, Azure Data Factory and Power Automate
- CSV/Excel export from model-driven app views
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.

In HubSpot
Hover or tap anything on the left to see where it lands.
| Source object | In HubSpot | Moves | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Contacts / individual customers (Dataverse contact) | Contacts | yes | Core CRM data migrates directly; Dynamics leads sync to HubSpot Contacts as a separate configuration. |
| Accounts / organizations / referral partners | Companies | yes | Account hierarchies and territory rollups do not transfer. Partners need a type property. |
| Households (financial-services group/household) | Custom objects | partial | Custom Dynamics entities map to custom objects, and Smart Transfer is reported to migrate custom objects. The household structure must be remodelled. Whether a Companies-based design suits better is an analyst judgement. |
| Opportunities | Deals | yes | Status codes and stages need an explicit mapping document. |
| Activities (tasks, appointments, emails, calls) | Notes, Calls, Emails, Meetings, Tasks | partial | Dynamics activities map to HubSpot engagements with partial fidelity. |
| Advisers / relationship managers (users) | Contacts | manual | Advisers become HubSpot users or owners, so they need manual user and owner mapping. |
| Financial goals, holdings, accounts, policies, loans | Custom objects | no | Outside the scope note. Keep these in specialist systems and, if needed, hold summary properties only. |
What to expect
No Dataverse export represents this logic.
These never transfer and must be rebuilt.
Per the scope note these stay in specialist systems.
The HubSpot model is contact-centric, whereas Dataverse has account and contact plus FS-specific relationship tables.
Status codes rarely align.
These do not transfer.
They are outside connector sync.
Minimise fields, use an encrypted transfer, and sign a DPA with any migration vendor.
Export the Dataverse GUIDs and import in order: companies, contacts, then deals.
Deduplicate on email or domain before the load.
Use Synapse Link or Fabric link, or the Web API.
Sequence contacts, companies, deals, then the rest.

Decide what is allowed to move before anything is exported. Tick each gate once it is agreed.
