HubSpot Custom Integration
A custom HubSpot integration is custom code which runs in the cloud, separate from HubSpot and the App that you want to sync data with.
HubSpot’s platform architecture is designed to support various integration approaches. Here’s an overview of the features involved in HubSpot custom integrations.
The custom code moves data – between HubSpot and your App – at scheduled intervals or in real time using APIs (Application Programming Interfaces).
A custom HubSpot integration can be developed to automate your business process between systems.
HubSpot integrations allow other systems to communicate with HubSpot via an integration server.
