Limiting what syncs
This setting allows you to select or create an inclusion list to limit the contacts that sync from HubSpot to Salesforce. Contacts that are not in your inclusion list will not sync from HubSpot to Salesforce. Learn more about creating a Salesforce inclusion list.
Creating leads/contacts
This setting allows you to choose whether any new contacts created in HubSpot should be created as Salesforce leads or contacts.
For existing contacts, HubSpot will update their existing contact record with new data.
Please note: When Create a lead is selected in the Creating leads/contacts section, it is advised to turn off the setting to automatically create and associate companies with contacts in HubSpot. Salesforce leads do not have accounts, and the Salesforce integration uses associated contacts to deduplicate companies, not the domain. When a HubSpot contact is initially created as Salesforce lead with no account, as soon as you manually create an account or convert the lead to a contact in Salesforce, a duplicate company will be created in HubSpot.
If you want the automatically create and associate companies with contacts setting turned on, it is strongly recommended to sync HubSpot contacts to Salesforce as contacts in order to avoid duplicates being created.
Matching state and country fields
This setting allows you to choose if default state and country values in HubSpot should be converted to pass validation for Salesforce's State and Country picklists.
- In the Tell us about your Salesforce state and country picklists dropdown select one of the following:
- The picklist is disabled in Salesforce.
- The picklist is enabled in Salesforce.
- The picklist is enabled and customized in Salesforce.
- In the HubSpot will dropdown select one of the following:
- Match default Salesforce state/country values when syncing.
- Sync HubSpot state/country values to Salesforce.
Click the Salesforce > HubSpot tab to configure the settings for when information is passed from Hubspot to Salesforce.
Salesforce > HubSpot
Limiting what syncs
Contacts with a valid email address only will sync to HubSpot.
Updating leads and contacts
This setting allows you to choose when Salesforce leads or contacts should create HubSpot contacts.
Use the dropdown menu to decide what happe/ns When a Salesforce lead is created or updated:
- Do nothing in HubSpot: new or existing Salesforce leads/contacts that are updated will not automatically create HubSpot contacts.
- Create or update the contact in HubSpot: new Salesforce leads/contacts created with a unique and valid email address will be created/updated HubSpot contacts.
Please note: if new Salesforce leads or contacts are set to create HubSpot contacts, a corresponding contact will be created or deduplicated in HubSpot when a Salesforce lead or contact is created, even if you have set up an inclusion list which the HubSpot contact is not in. Further updates to the contact/lead from either HubSpot or Salesforce will not sync to the other platform.
Untick the checkbox in the Updating contacts section to set different rules for contacts in Salesforce.
Adjusting lifecycle stage
This setting allows you to choose if actions taken on an associated Salesforce record will impact the lifecycle stage of the corresponding HubSpot contact.
If Update the contact's opportunity stage in HubSpot is selected, a Salesforce contact associated with an open opportunity will update the lifecycle stage of the corresponding HubSpot contact to Opportunity. If the opportunity is marked as Closed Won in Salesforce, the lifecycle stage of the corresponding HubSpot contact will change from Opportunity to Customer.
Please note:
- This setting will not move a HubSpot contact's lifecycle stage backwards. For example, if a HubSpot contact already has a lifecycle stage of Customer, they will not move back to Opportunity if their corresponding Salesforce contact is associated with an open opportunity.
- The lifecycle stage of a HubSpot contact will not impact any corresponding Salesforce records. For example, setting the lifecycle stage of a HubSpot contact to Customer
will not convert the corresponding Salesforce lead to a contact. - The Salesforce contact must be associated with the opportunity via contact roles. Custom relationship fields between Salesforce contacts and opportunities, as well as opportunities with no contact roles, will not trigger automatic lifecycle stage transitions.
- If the companies Lifecycle stage sync setting is enabled, any other HubSpot contacts that are associated with the same company will also have their lifecycle stage updated.
