Written by Louise Dahl Overgaard | Apr 20, 2023 5:00:00 AM

HubSpot has a special ability to integrate with a wide range of third-party tools and systems. These integrations can help automate and streamline marketing and sales processes while also improving data collection and analysis

HubSpot is known for being an all-in-one marketing and sales platform that helps businesses attract and convert customers. The platform includes a wide range of tools and features, including inbound marketing, email marketing, social media management, CRM software, and reporting and analysis.

Since HubSpot's founding in 2006, usability and efficiency have been key focus areas for the platform. This includes everything from the user-friendly interface, to automation and strong analysis tools. Likewise, HubSpot's ability to integrate with a variety of tools and systems is in line with the goal of a user-friendly and efficient CRM platform.

In fact, HubSpot's integrations with other third-party tools and systems make the CRM platform even stronger in the market. It opens up opportunities to use the platform more broadly - to collect data and information from different sources and organize it in a cohesive way in one place. And it makes it easier for users to get a complete picture of customer interaction and behavior across different channels. And it frees up users from switching between different platforms and saves them a lot of time by consolidating everything in one place.

In this blog post, we've put together an overview of the many different HubSpot integrations you can use. And we can already reveal that the possibilities are many, and among the integrations you'll find some that have been specially designed by MCB's most talented developers

Stay tuned and read on.

MCB's Custom Integrations in HubSpot 

MCB is a HubSpot App Partner, the only agency in Denmark. This means that we at MCB are able to custom design integrations in HubSpot. HubSpot already offers a range of integrations to different systems such as Microsoft Business Central and Shopify. But several Danish systems are not ready for a large American platform. Therefore, we have set a goal to build the solutions.

With custom integrations in HubSpot, it becomes even easier for businesses to synchronize data and automate repetitive tasks between HubSpot and their preferred systems

 

HubSpot CVR AppMCB has built an integration between HubSpot and several Danish authorities in a Danish CVR App. To use the integration, simply enter the CVR information and relevant data will be automatically retrieved and added to HubSpot.

Are you missing a specific integration for HubSpot?

All HubSpot integrations have one thing in common: they are built on APIs. That means that no matter what system you use, we can build a connection between that system and HubSpot.

Furthermore, HubSpot's API and CMS documentation make it possible for you to create a custom integration if the one you need does not yet exist. Therefore, you can get a unique solution specifically for your business. Here are three options:

  • App
    With an app, you can build and list your solution in HubSpot's App Marketplace, where over 100,000 customers find the apps that help them run their business. That way, you can help solve business problems for others with your app and also benefit from the community, support, and distribution relationships at HubSpot. If you encounter a hindrance, there are definitely others who will benefit from the solution you come up with using an app.
  • Custom integration
    With a custom integration, you can build a customized solution specifically for your business, and it will therefore only be available for you to use. Through your HubSpot API key, you can add advanced functionality to your account, import and export data, and synchronize your account with other tools.
  • Website
    With a custom integration for your website, you get a powerful website using HubSpot CMS. That means you can develop locally and within your own framework, so you get the extended functionality that meets your requirements and needs.
