How do I connect HubSpot with my tech stack?

Jack faced a common challenge. "Every department had their favorite tools," he remembers. "Sales lived in Salesforce, Finance in NetSuite, and Support in Zendesk. Making these systems talk to HubSpot felt like learning multiple languages at once."

Beyond Basic Integrations

Today, Jack's tech stack works in harmony. "It's not about having every system connected to every other system," he explains. "It's about creating the right data flows that support your business processes."

The Integration Journey

Everything changed when they stopped thinking about tools and started thinking about processes. They mapped out how information needed to flow:

  • Customer data moving between systems
  • Financial data informing marketing decisions
  • Support insights driving product development

Finding the Right Approach

Integration isn't one-size-fits-all. Jack's team discovered three paths to success:

  1. Native Integrations HubSpot's App Marketplace offers hundreds of pre-built integrations. "We use these whenever possible," Jack explains. "They're reliable and regularly updated."
  2. Operations Hub For more complex needs, Operations Hub provides programmable automation and data sync. "This gave us the flexibility to handle custom requirements while staying within HubSpot."
  3. Custom Solutions Sometimes, specific business needs require custom integration work. "We use these sparingly, but they're essential for unique processes."

A Success Story

One of Jack's favorite examples involves their quote-to-cash process. They connected HubSpot deals with their accounting system, creating a seamless flow from opportunity to invoice. "What used to take days of manual work now happens automatically, with perfect accuracy."

Making It Work

The key to successful integration isn't just technical - it's strategic. Jack's team follows these principles:

"Define the process first, then find the right integration approach. And always ask: Is this integration serving our business goals?"

They regularly review their integrations, asking:

  • Is data flowing correctly?
  • Are there redundant processes?
  • Could this be simplified?
  • Is it delivering value?

Your Integration Journey

Start by mapping your essential business processes. Where does data need to flow? What manual steps could be automated? Let these answers guide your integration strategy.

Remember: The goal isn't to connect everything - it's to create efficient processes that help your business grow.
