The Most Popular Scenarios for How to Integrate Dynamics CRM and HubSpot
As said above, businesses often use Dynamics CRM and HubSpot integration to streamline processes, improve collaboration between sales and marketing teams, and deliver personalized experiences to prospects and customers across the entire customer lifecycle.
Let’s discuss the most common scenarios of such integration using the universal tool for these processes, like Skyvia.
Load Data in any Direction
In case of the need to load data from Dynamics CRM to HubSpot, from HubSpot to Dynamics CRM, or bi-directionally between the two platforms, select data integration solutions that provide such an integration type. For instance, with Skyvia import, you can filter data, transform it, and so on. You may use these features in both directions.
Skyvia also supports the UPSERT operation, which means inserting new records and updating existing ones in the target, avoiding duplicates for existing target records.
Two-Ways Data Sync
Businesses often have to ensure that any changes made in one platform are reflected in the other platform simultaneously. In that case, they require real-time data synchronization between Dynamics CRM and HubSpot in both directions.
In this scenario, Skyvia optimizes the processes because it doesn’t need to load all the data each time; it tracks changes in the synchronized data sources and performs only necessary data changes. Its mapping features are also cool, allowing you to sync data with different structures.
Updates and Deletes of Mass Data
Data updating and deleting unnecessary ones is one of the most common business data processing scenarios, including Dynamics CRM and HubSpot integration.
In this case, Skyvia’s role is to provide DML operations, including UPDATE and DELETE. Such a scenario allows using import to perform mass update processes or mass data deletion, matching the appropriate conditions.
One-Way Data Update and Sync New Ones
Sometimes, your company may need to sync only new or updated data from Dynamics CRM to HubSpot or from HubSpot to Dynamics CRM without syncing data changes back in the opposite direction.
For such a scenario, Skyvia offers loading only new and modified records from Dynamics 365 to HubSpot and vice versa. But it’s not a big deal because you can use import to perform a one-way sync.
