If you’re familiar with HubSpot integrations, you know the value of combining HubSpot with another external software to boost your sales and marketing efforts. You probably recognize Salesforce and NetSuite, two widely-popular systems, as two common customer relationship management (CRM) integrations.
But you don’t need Salesforce or NetSuite to have a successful integration. Here are three less common integrations that your marketing and sales teams will love.
Microsoft Dynamics is a powerful CRM system that enterprise companies of various business verticals use to house their lead and contact information crucial to developing, improving, and retaining relationships. Alone this system helps businesses find growth and revenue opportunities by assisting them in optimizing their operating processes.
However, when synced with HubSpot, not only will your sales team benefit, but so will your marketing team. An integration involves a bi-directional sync that allows records to flow seamlessly between your CRM and HubSpot through standard and custom field mappings. Both teams will get insight into what the other is doing through these mappings and synced records. Common sync flows with Dynamics include:
Syncing this data with HubSpot allows for better marketing campaigns, better lead scoring, automated marketing, and sales tasks, closed-loop reporting, and tracking the entire lifecycle of a sale.
ABC Fitness is a system used by fitness centers across North America. Gyms use it to manage billing, members, prospects, event scheduling, and employee records. The platform also helps to reduce delinquencies, improve collections, and create an overall better member experience.
An integration between HubSpot and ABC Fitness provides an efficient means of marketing and selling to clients while keeping their current ones happy. Like Dynamics, your sales and marketing team will benefit through the data synced through standard and custom field mappings. This particular integration populates the contacts within HubSpot by querying ABC Fitness and requesting a list of members and prospects. Additionally, updates made to a member or prospect in ABC Fitness will be pushed to the associated contact record in HubSpot. More common sync flows for an ABC Fitness and HubSpot integration include:
Similar to Dynamics, syncing the data between ABC Fitness and HubSpot can help marketing teams create personalized, highly-targeted campaigns for gym members and prospects alike. It also helps gym sales executives know who’s ready to begin a membership or who needs to be re-engaged or pay.
Classy is an online fundraising platform used by nonprofits and social enterprises that provides simple, effective, and customizable solutions to manage their fundraising efforts. Classy also enables crowdfunding, event management, and smooth engagement with donors and supporters. Like ABC Fitness and Dynamics, the integration of HubSpot and Classy is a bi-directional cloud-based integration solution. It enables marketing automation by synchronizing contacts and donations between HubSpot.
With this integration, Classy members, supporters, transactions, and recurring donation plans populate to HubSpot. It also syncs recently updated HubSpot contacts to existing Classy supporters. This is done through these field mappings:
While different types of businesses use Dynamics, Classy, and ABC Fitness an integration with any of these to HubSpot ultimately achieves the same goals for different audiences. Briefly mentioned earlier, these benefits include:
If you use any of these systems and want to combine them with HubSpot, you’ll quickly be on your way to getting the most out of your sales and marketing efforts. Though, the integration process is better with an expert by your side. Contact us to learn more about a Classy, ABC Fitness or Dynamics integration today.
