How the HubSpot integration works
Syncing contacts to HubSpot
After connecting Smokeball to HubSpot, you must choose the sync direction from either:
- Smokeball to HubSpot or;
- HubSpot to Smokeball.
To do this:
-
Navigate to HubSpot Settings, then select Integrations > Connected Apps and click on Smokeball.
- Select General Settings.
-
Under Contact Sync Direction, choose whether contacts should sync from Smokeball to HubSpot or HubSpot to Smokeball. You can also disable contact sync entirely.
-
Toggle on/off the option to create a Smokeball matter when a HubSpot deal is closed.
If you chose to sync contacts from Smokeball to Hubspot, it may take up to a few minutes for the contact entry to appear in HubSpot.
You can access your Smokeball contacts in HubSpot by selecting CRM from the left panel, then selecting Contacts.
Converting a HubSpot Deal into a Smokeball matter
From HubSpot, you can create new Deals associated with these contacts from the CRM > Deals section.
When a Deal transitions to the stage Closed Won, a new General matter will be created in Smokeball automatically.
To ensure the matter is created correctly, the contact must be listed under the Contacts section of the Deal. If the contact is missing, the matter will not be created in Smokeball.
