HubSpot Onboarding That Your Team Can Actually Use
We provide structured HubSpot onboarding for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations that need systems set up in a way that reflects how they actually operate.
Beyond basic setup, we account for donor and member data, email subscriptions, compliance considerations, and limited internal capacity. We migrate your data, configure email and subscriptions, and establish core systems so HubSpot is reliable in day-to-day use — not just technically complete.
Our focus is on usability, clarity, and reducing rework, so your team can move forward with confidence once onboarding is complete.
HubSpot Onboarding Options
HubSpot Onboarding Base
Best for: organizations with a single source system and a straightforward HubSpot setup.
Up to 150,000 contacts
Base Onboarding is ideal when your data is coming from one primary system and your email and subscription needs are clear and well-defined.
Includes:
-
Email domain and deliverability setup guidance
We help ensure your emails are properly authenticated and ready to reach inboxes before launch. -
Core email compliance and subscription setup
Configuration of subscription types, tracking, and CAN-SPAM requirements so your email program is ready for real-world use. -
Email template setup
Two brand-aligned email templates your team can reuse for common communications. -
Subscription and conversion paths
Two subscription paths and one conversion path to support signups, preferences, and basic audience flows. -
Contact and company migration

Setup of essential lists and properties, plus two dashboards to give your team basic visibility into performance.

Advanced Onboarding
Advanced Onboarding is designed for teams whose data or setup requires more care and sequencing to avoid disruption.
This package adds additional structure, cleanup, and validation so HubSpot works reliably from day one — even with more volume or complexity.
Includes everything in Base, plus:
-
Expanded data mapping and staged imports
We break migrations into logical phases to reduce risk, validate results, and avoid data or subscription issues. -
Data cleanup support
Guidance and hands-on cleanup to address duplicates, formatting issues, or inconsistent fields before and during import. -
Additional email template setup
One extra brand-aligned email template (3 total) to support multiple communication types. -
Workflow setup
Up to 3 workflows to automate common actions and reduce manual work. -
Additional QA and testing
Extra review and testing rounds to ensure data, subscriptions, and automations are working as expected before handoff.

Enterprise Onboarding
Best for: organizations with multi-system or multi-object data, or highly complex marketing operations.
Up to 500,000 contacts
Enterprise Onboarding is designed for organizations whose data and processes don’t fit neatly into a single system or simple structure.
This package adds deeper planning, coordination, and validation to ensure HubSpot can support more complex relationships without breaking downstream workflows.
It’s the right fit when your organization manages multiple data sources, objects, or programs — and needs HubSpot to function as a reliable system rather than a fragile one.
Includes everything in Advanced, plus:
-
Multi-object and multi-system mapping support
We plan and map relationships across contacts, companies, and additional objects so data remains usable and connected. -
Advanced import planning and validation
Detailed sequencing and validation to manage higher volumes and complexity without disrupting email, subscriptions, or reporting. -
Expanded workflow setup
Up to 6 workflows to automate more advanced processes and reduce manual work across teams. -
Additional email template setup
One additional brand-aligned email template (4 total) to support a wider range of communications. - See tab below for more details
