## Leaving HubSpot

Connect HubSpot with a read-only key and choose what comes: companies, contacts, deals, notes and tasks, with their owners, their stages and the links between them. Or export each object as a CSV file and import it, mapping columns onto your fields. Then connect your mailbox and calendar and the conversations fill in around them. Workflows and sequences don't import: describe each rule in a sentence to rebuild it, on Pro and above. [Switch from HubSpot in four steps](https://www.migaru.ai/migration/hubspot.md).
