The Best HubSpot Integrations Marketing and Sales Teams Love
August 20, 2024
Ali Schwanke
HubSpot has a ton of helpful and convenient integrations, but the sheer number can be overwhelming at first. There are over 1,670 options and counting in their app marketplace!
Below we’ve curated some favorites that our clients get a lot of value from, and that we believe you will too.
Before we dive into that though, a word of caution: not everyone builds their app integration with the same quality standards, so it can be hard to grasp the real value and limitations of an integration just by looking at the app page in HubSpot.
For example, Instantly’s integration only allows you to pull lists from HubSpot into Instantly, so it’s not a two-way sync (which many users expect). Others, like Pipedrive or Bullhorn, require the Ops Hub Starter package for any custom field syncs.
To avoid surprises, we recommend setting up a sandbox environment to test any integration before deploying it to your broader system. Some integrations may be limited or require additional costs for custom features, making them less useful than they appear.
Our team can also vet and help you explore integrations, since at this point we’ve set these up hundreds of times for clients. Without further ado, here are some integrations you’ll want to consider.
The essential HubSpot integrations for every team
Zapier
If your tech stack doesn't integrate well or the integrations are too limited, Zapier can usually fill the gap. Automate your workflows by connecting HubSpot to over 1,000 apps via Zapier, letting you save a ton of time bouncing between apps.
Gmail
Bring HubSpot right into your Gmail inbox! This integration improves productivity by eliminating the need to switch between your HubSpot and Gmail (Google Workspace) accounts. You get all of HubSpot’s email functionality inside your Google account, making it easier to manage emails, track communications, and stay organized without leaving Gmail. You can also use HubSpot templates from within Gmail!
Google Calendar
Stay on top of your schedule and never miss an appointment. When you log a meeting in HubSpot, it’s automatically added to your Google Calendar and invites are sent to guests, so you don’t have to worry about double bookings. Plus, any meeting created in Google Calendar that includes a HubSpot contact will show up on that contact's record timeline in HubSpot, making it easier to keep track of interactions.
Zoom
This integration lets you schedule Zoom meetings directly from HubSpot, automatically adding meeting details to your contact records. It makes tracking your interactions easy and keeps everything organized, so you can focus on the conversation instead of the logistics.
You can also sync your Zoom webinars with HubSpot with a little extra setup that results in some extra capabilities for marketing and sales..
Slack
Get HubSpot notifications and tasks in Slack when you set up this integration, and create HubSpot tasks directly from Slack messages, linking them to contacts, companies, or deals. This means less switching between platforms and fewer forgotten tasks. Use Slack slash commands to quickly pull up HubSpot info like contacts and tasks, saving you time.
Word of advice: avoid notification overload by adjusting settings to reduce redundant Slack and email alerts, keeping your workflow smooth and organized.
