Overview
This article is the first in a series of HubSpot Connector articles.
HubSpot offers a full stack of software for marketing, sales, and customer service, with a completely free CRM at its core.
HubSpot Connector from Gainsight allows Admins to establish an integration of HubSpot with Gainsight. This connector is located on the Connectors 2.0 page. Once HubSpot is integrated with Gainsight, data from HubSpot can be synced to Gainsight.
You can sync data from any object in HubSpot to Gainsight Standard or Custom objects.
Note: In the first version of HubSpot Connector, Gainsight allows you to sync data from the following HubSpot objects:
- Company
- Contact
- Owner
- Deal
- Ticket
You can sync data from the HubSpot objects, Company, Contact, and Owner to Gainsight objects, Company, Company Person, and User respectively through Gainsight’s Out of the Box Job configurations. If you want to sync data from any other HubSpot object to a Gainsight object, you must configure a new custom job configuration.
