Practifi to HubSpot
Wealth-management CRM and business platform built on Salesforce, with Salesforce Platform licences included.
Practifi data can move into HubSpot, landing mainly in Sales Hub. 2 of 8 mapped objects move directly (Clients / Entities (people and organizations) and Prospects); 4 items need manual work and 3 do not move. Plan roughly 3-6 weeks for a small move and 12-24 weeks for a large one.

Three phases, specific to this system. Tick steps off as you go.
Before

0 of 5 doneAfter
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
up to 10k contacts/companies
Core contacts, companies and deals only.
Mid migration
10k-100k records plus activities
Households, referrers and activity history.
Large migration
100k+ records with documents
Multi-entity firm with custom objects, documents and integrations.
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 Practifi: what you need to get in, what lands in HubSpot, and what will not.
Salesforce platform APIs (REST/Bulk) exposed via Practifi's open API
Salesforce administrator login or an integration user with API access.
Practifi/Salesforce administrator for Setup > Data Export and API access.
Choose your route
How will you move the data?
No native connector was found.
- You need: Salesforce administrator login or an integration user with API access.
- Permission: Practifi/Salesforce administrator for Setup > Data Export and API access.
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.
- Salesforce Setup Data Export: full CSV snapshot, on demand or scheduled weekly/monthly; Export Now needs 7+ days since the last export
- Salesforce reports exported per object
- Bulk API extracts per object, reassembled by record IDs
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clients / Entities (people and organizations) | Contacts / Companies | yes | Person and organization records map to Contacts and Companies. Salesforce Account/Contact structure needs flattening. |
| Households / hierarchies | Companies | partial | Household and organization hierarchies have no native equivalent. They need a company type or custom object plus associations. |
| Prospects | Contacts | yes | Prospects are a Practifi data model entity. Map them with lifecycle stage. |
| Influencers/Referrers (referral partners) | Contacts / Companies | partial | Referrer relationships need association labels or a custom object. |
| Opportunities / Processes | Deals | partial | Practifi process objects are custom, so map only the sales-pipeline opportunities. |
| Tasks and events | Tasks / Meetings / Calls | partial | Activity history moves with partial fidelity. |
| Notes, emails and documents | Notes / Emails / Files | partial | Stored as Salesforce Files or in a connected document management system. Needs a separate file extract. |
| Assets, holdings, private investments | Custom objects | no | Keep in portfolio accounting systems. At most, bring in summary values as properties. |
What to expect
Automation logic leaves no trace in any data export.
Must be rebuilt as HubSpot workflows or kept in specialist systems.
Reports must be rebuilt in HubSpot.
They are not in exports.
HubSpot has no household object.
Schema-only mapping misses real-data issues.
Files are not in the object CSVs.
Pre-build associations and a custom object, and import in dependency order.
Keep regulated records in specialist systems and migrate only the minimum fields.
Check the Practifi agreement before extraction.
Plan the final snapshot early, or use the Bulk API.
Data governance and compliance
Decide what is allowed to move before anything is exported. Tick each gate once it is agreed.
