Intro

HubSpot develops software for social media and email marketing, content management, web analytics, and search engine optimization. Use Domo’s Hubspot Writeback connector to export your data from a Domo DataSet to your Hubspot account. To learn about the HubSpot API, visit their website (http://developers.hubspot.com/docs/overview). You connect to your HubSpot account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Hubspot Writeback connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Connector.
Note:
  • The Hubspot Writeback connector requires the connected hubspot account to be a special type of account, a Marketing Hub account.
  • The owner of a writeback dataset must also be an owner or co-owner of the input dataset.
  • Hubspot defines the field to be used as a key. When you power up the connector, the field mapping section will inform you about the field in the Hubspot that the connector uses as the key.
  • The Writeback Connector performs an upsert. If it identifies a match between the row in the input dataset and Hubspot, it will update the Hubspot Account. However, if it does not finds a match, it will create a new Account in Hubspot.

​

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure your authentication remains valid.
  • Review the configuration to make sure that all required items have been selected.
  • Review the Connector history for error messages.
  • In rare cases, you may be requesting too much information and reaching API limitations or timeouts. If this is the case, you can review the history of the Connector run to see the error message and duration. If this is the case, you can reduce the number of accounts that are being pulled, choose a smaller number of metrics for the report that you are pulling, or reduce the timeframe that you are trying to pull.
