Introduction
HubSpot, a leading marketing and sales platform, is used for collecting, organizing, and updating customer data within a CRM system. The data in HubSpot can be utilized as your source for personalizing videos. With HubSpot as your data source, data is pulled in real time from HubSpot records when a viewer clicks play and a personalized video is generated.
The integration process consists of a series of steps, with most of the actions performed in the SundaySky Video Platform.
In this article, you'll find the prerequisites for the integration, the authentication process explained step-by-step, and the key points that you need to be aware of to ensure a successful data integration.
Note:
The information in this article pertaining to HubSpot was accurate at the time of writing (November 2023) and may have changed since then. If there is any doubt, we recommend that you refer to official HubSpot resources.
Key Points
- A single SundaySky account can be integrated with only one HubSpot account.
- The HubSpot integration setup needs to be performed one time only. Once the integration has been configured, you can use your HubSpot account as a data source with any data library in your account.
- Your HubSpot data is never stored on SundaySky servers. The integration pulls specific records in real time when a viewer clicks to watch a video, ensuring the use of the latest data without the need to store any data on SundaySky servers.
- Following are the HubSpot objects from which properties can be pulled to use in personalization:
- Calls (Engagement)
- Communications (Engagement)
- Companies
- Contacts
- Deals
- Email (Engagement)
- Engagements
- Feedback Submissions
- Line Items
- Meetings (Engagement)
- Notes (Engagement)
- Postal Mail (Engagement)
- Products

- In addition to the standard objects listed above, custom objects that are specific to your HubSpot account can also be pulled.
- If you need to disconnect the HubSpot integration for any reason, reach out to SundaySky Support who will handle your request. After the integration is disconnected, a new integration can be configured.
