HubSpot settings

HubSpot settings

Customize your HubSpot integration settings. Next, you should map customer and sale properties between Cin7 Core and HubSpot for smooth import and export of these entities.

Prerequisites

Access HubSpot settings

Access HubSpot settings in your Cin7 Core account.

  1. Select Integrations from the main menu, then HubSpot.

  2. Go to Setup.

Synchronization status

Turn synchronization On to sync data between HubSpot and Cin7 Core. This setting is switched off by default.

Turning synchronization off does not remove any data from HubSpot.

Sync direction

Control how sales, customer, and product data syncs between the two applications. Bidirectional synchronization is not supported.

There are three options:

  • Off: Do not sync data between the two systems for sales, products, or customers. This hides the Sales, Products, or Customers tabs.
  • Export to HubSpot: All sales, product, or customer data is exported from Cin7 Core to HubSpot.

  • Import from HubSpot: All sales, product, or customer data is imported from Cin7 Core

You can still import and export customers and products when sales sync is turned off, but if sale sync is set to Import from HubSpot or Export from HubSpot, the same option will automatically be selected for customer and product synchronization and cannot be edited.

Different settings will be visible, or have different effects, depending on if Import from Hubspot or Export to Hubspot is selected for Update Sale, Update Product, and Update Customer. If a setting does not specify, it has the same behavior for import and export.

Price tier and currency

Export to Hubspot

Choose which price tier to assign to products on export to HubSpot and a price tier currency.

HubSpot does not perform any currency conversion, the value of the price tier in Cin7 Core will simply be exported and the price tier currency applied.

Example

  • Retail price tier in Cin7 Core is 340, Wholesale price tier is 300. Cin7 Core organization base currency is USD.

  • HubSpot integration settings are Price tier: Retail and Price tier currency: EUR.

  • Product exports to HubSpot with price 340 EUR.

  • Alternatively, HubSpot integration settings are Price tier: Wholesale and Price tier currency: USD.

  • Product exports to HubSpot with price 300 USD.

Import from Hubspot

Choose which price tier to assign to new products created in Cin7 Core after import from HubSpot, and the currency in Hubspot that will be used to assign the value. No currency conversion takes place.

  • Price in HubSpot is 300 USD or 340 EUR

  • HubSpot integration settings are Price tier: Retail and Price tier currency: EUR

  • Product imports to Cin7 Core with Retail Price Tier and value 340.

  • A contact with a company will be imported to a customer as a customer contact (HubSpot company will be the Customer). Contacts can be associated with multiple companies.

  • A contact without a company will be imported as a customer with one contact (unless Ignore contacts without organizations setting in setup tab is enabled).
