Imagine you're a business owner. Every day, new information about your customers comes in. With technology always evolving, no single app can handle everything you need. So, you end up using multiple apps to manage your tasks efficiently.

However, manually updating customer data across these apps can be tiring and may affect your work and the accuracy of your data. But if you're using HubSpot, there's a solution: HubSpot Data Sync. This software lets you synchronize data between HubSpot CRM and nearly 90 other popular apps.

Let's explore more about this tool and see how it can help you keep your data organized across different applications.

What is the HubSpot Data Sync Tool?

Say goodbye to the hassle of manually updating data between different apps! HubSpot Data Sync software is here to streamline your data management process.

With HubSpot Data Sync, you can effortlessly synchronize data between various applications, eliminating the need for manual updates and ensuring efficient and high-quality data management. 

Now, let's explore the steps of syncing your apps with HubSpot Data Sync and discover the advantages that this tool offers.

How do you sync Integrated Apps?

Let's initiate the process of syncing your data! Before diving in, it's essential to ensure that you have the necessary permissions, such as App Marketplace permissions or Super Admin access, to proceed with HubSpot Data Sync.

Once you've confirmed your permissions, we can proceed with the following steps to synchronize your data seamlessly:

  • After a successful connection, you can initiate the setup process for syncing by following the next set of instructions.
  • Click on the “Set up sync” button.
  • Now, you'll have the option to choose the specific objects you wish to synchronize. The available list of objects may vary depending on the selected App. For instance, if you're syncing Google contacts, you'll likely find an option for Contact sync.
  • Once you've selected the desired objects to sync, proceed by clicking “Next.”

Following this, you'll encounter four sections to complete the sync action: Configure, Limit, Organize, and Review. These sections will allow you to fine-tune your syncing preferences.

Let's navigate through these sections to ensure that your data sync operation meets your specific needs and preferences.

Configure 

With the ‘Configure' tab, you can fine-tune various settings such as sync direction, data conflict resolution, and default mapped fields. Follow the steps below to configure:

  • Sync Direction: Begin by selecting the sync direction, whether it's one-way (Data syncs only to HubSpot or  Data syncs only to Google Contacts) or two-way data sync (Data syncs between both apps).

  • Data Conflict Resolution: In this section, choose the app that will take precedence and overwrite the other in case of a data conflict.
  • Default Mapped Fields: Here, you have the option to set default mapped fields by toggling the switch. Moreover, you can customize this further by adding custom fields and designating them as default.

By configuring these settings under the ‘Configure' tab, you ensure that your data sync operation aligns with your preferences, optimizing the efficiency and accuracy of your integrated app synchronization.

Limit

Before progressing further, it's crucial to navigate to the limit section, where you can establish filters to refine your synchronization process effectively. Here's how you can utilize this section:

  • Duplicate Reduction: Enable this feature to identify and manage duplicates efficiently. It checks for duplicates based on email addresses and ensures that unique contacts are synchronized, minimizing redundancy and maintaining data integrity.
  • Filters: This feature empowers you to specify criteria to limit the contacts that will be synced. By setting filters, you can tailor the synchronization process to include only the contacts that meet certain criteria, streamlining the data transfer and ensuring that only relevant information is synced between integrated apps.

  • Automatic Associations: Within this feature, you can grant certain apps access to automatically associate data.
  • Automatic Deletions: This function allows you to authorize specific apps to automatically delete data as needed.

Review

Before finalizing the synchronization process for integrated apps, it's crucial to thoroughly review all your settings to ensure everything is configured to your preferences. Here's how you can navigate through the Review section.

Once you've carefully assessed and confirmed your settings, proceed by clicking on “Save and Sync” to initiate the data synchronization process successfully. This step ensures that the data flows seamlessly between your integrated apps, facilitating efficient operations and data consistency.

Turn off Sync and Delete Sync

Furthermore, if the need arises to make adjustments or discontinue syncing for specific objects, you can easily manage these actions by following the steps below:

  • Turn Off Sync: Hover over the object you wish to stop syncing, then click on the dropdown menu labelled “More.” From the options provided, select “Turn off sync” and confirm your decision in the pop-up window. This action will halt the synchronization process for the selected object.
  • Delete Sync: Similarly, if you need to completely remove a sync setup, hover over the respective object and choose the “Delete sync” option from the dropdown menu. Confirm the deletion by typing “delete” in the pop-up window.
