Setting up HubSpot

Updated by Mikkel Settnes

Dreamdata needs to connect to your CRM system in order to work properly. This is used to collect data on your customer accounts and link it to the tracking data, thus being able to create attribution to touches in your customer journeys.

It can take up to 48 hours for the data to show in the Dreamdata app once you successfully integrated it.
  1. On Dreamdata's main menu, go to "Data Platform" and then select "Sources".
  2. On the Sources page, scroll down the the CRM subsection and select "HubSpot"
  3. Click "Enable" (a new tab will open).
  4. If you haven't selected a CRM system for your Dreamdata account yet, chances are that you might be prompted with the following question "Is HubSpot your Primary CRM?". Select the option that applies for you.
  5. If you aren't already signed in, sign into your HubSpot account.
    The account used needs to have Super Admin access or individual access to the data mentioned below (such as the Contacts, Companies and Deals objects)
  6. Select the account you want to connect to
    and Click "Choose Account".
    Note! You need to have permission to connect to third-party integrations within HubSpot
  7. Connect the Dreamdata App
  8. You're all set 🔥 It can take up to between 24 – 48 hours before all the historical data available for your plan begins to appear.
