What it is
HubSpot Smart Transfer is a web-based tool for moving records and related data from supported applications into HubSpot. Its guided workflow audits the source, prepares the HubSpot portal, synchronizes records, optionally transfers additional data, and removes empty properties. The audit matches source objects with HubSpot objects and reports record counts, configuration information, supported fields, data types, users, currencies, and other settings. Supported sources include Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Dynamics 365, ActiveCampaign, Copper, Mailchimp, Keap, Salesforce, Account Engagement/Pardot, Marketo, Zendesk, Freshdesk, and Monday.com. Transfers run only toward HubSpot. Users can pause, resume, or cancel transfers and tasks, then download error logs. Attachments and segments can be transferred once but do not continue updating through ongoing synchronization. Only HubSpot Super Admins can use the tool, and custom field mappings require a Data Hub subscription. Breeze Assistant can provide an optional conversational guide. Smart Transfer has a free plan and 14-day trial; paid plans are listed separately.
