The Best HubSpot Integrations Marketing and Sales Teams Love

Posted by Ali Schwanke on August 20, 2024
Find me on:

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.

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.

Zoom
