Connect Salesforce to HubSpot
Automatically sync data from Salesforce into HubSpot. Ikaroa designs, builds and maintains a reliable Salesforce → HubSpot integration so your tools stay in perfect sync.
TL;DR
Connecting Salesforce to HubSpot lets you automatically move contacts, leads and deals from Salesforce into HubSpot, so your team stops copying data by hand. Salesforce is the world's leading customer relationship management platform; HubSpot is CRM, marketing, sales and service software. The integration can be built with a native connector, a tool like Zapier or Make, or a custom API integration for full control. Ikaroa builds and maintains the connection for you.
How do you connect Salesforce to HubSpot?
You can connect Salesforce to HubSpot in three ways: a native integration if one exists, a no-code automation platform such as Zapier or Make, or a custom API integration built directly against the Salesforce and HubSpot APIs. The right choice depends on data volume, how real-time the sync needs to be, and how much custom logic you require. For business-critical or high-volume syncs, a custom API integration is the most reliable. Ikaroa designs, builds and maintains Salesforce → HubSpot integrations end to end.
Teams that rely on both Salesforce and HubSpot usually hit the same wall: the two tools don't talk to each other. Salesforce handles managing customer relationships, pipeline and sales activity, while HubSpot is used for managing customer relationships, pipeline and sales activity. Without an integration, someone ends up exporting spreadsheets, re-keying records and reconciling mismatches by hand, which is slow, error-prone and doesn't scale. A proper Salesforce to HubSpot integration removes that friction by keeping data flowing automatically from one system to the other.
Why integrate Salesforce with HubSpot?
Stop manual data entry
Every time a new lead is captured in Salesforce, the relevant data is pushed straight into HubSpot. No exports, no copy-paste, no stale records.
One source of truth
Keep contacts, leads and deals consistent across Salesforce and HubSpot so every team is working from the same numbers.
Faster, automated workflows
Trigger actions in HubSpot, like create or update a contact and log an activity, the moment a new lead is captured in Salesforce, with no human in the loop.
Fewer costly errors
Automated syncing eliminates the typos, missed records and duplicates that come with moving contacts and leads between systems by hand.

Ways to connect Salesforce and HubSpot
Native integration
If Salesforce and HubSpot offer an official connector, this is the quickest path. It covers common fields out of the box, but native connectors are often limited in which contacts and leads they sync and how much you can customise the mapping.
Best for: simple, standard use cases with low data volume
No-code automation (Zapier / Make)
Tools like Zapier and Make connect Salesforce and HubSpot with visual workflows. Great for getting started fast and for moderate volumes, though per-task pricing and rate limits can add up, and complex logic gets hard to maintain.
Best for: moderate volume and quick wins without engineering
Custom API integration
A bespoke integration built directly against the Salesforce and HubSpot APIs gives you full control: exact field mapping, custom business logic, real-time webhooks, error handling and retries. This is what Ikaroa builds for business-critical syncs that need to be reliable at scale.
Best for: high volume, real-time, business-critical syncs and custom logic

Salesforce to HubSpot integration FAQ
How do I connect Salesforce to HubSpot?
There are three main ways to connect Salesforce to HubSpot: a native integration (if available), a no-code automation tool like Zapier or Make, or a custom API integration built against the Salesforce and HubSpot APIs. For occasional, simple syncs a no-code tool is fine; for reliable, high-volume or real-time syncing of contacts and leads, a custom integration is best. Ikaroa can build and manage it for you.
Can I sync Salesforce and HubSpot in real time?
Yes. Using webhooks from Salesforce, changes can be pushed to HubSpot within seconds instead of waiting for a scheduled batch. Real-time syncing is best handled with a custom API integration, which Ikaroa builds with proper retries and error handling so nothing is lost.
What data can I sync between Salesforce and HubSpot?
Commonly synced data includes contacts, leads, deals and accounts. The exact fields depend on your setup. Ikaroa maps your Salesforce data to the right objects in HubSpot and handles any transformations needed in between.
Do I need Zapier to integrate Salesforce with HubSpot?
No. Zapier or Make are convenient for simple automations, but they are not required. A direct, custom Salesforce to HubSpot API integration avoids per-task fees and rate limits, and gives you more control over reliability and logic. Ikaroa builds both no-code and custom integrations depending on what fits your needs.
How much does a Salesforce to HubSpot integration cost?
It depends on complexity: a simple one-way sync of contacts and leads is far cheaper than a real-time, two-way integration with custom logic. Ikaroa scopes the work up front and gives you a fixed quote. Get in touch for a tailored estimate for your Salesforce → HubSpot integration.
Is the Salesforce HubSpot integration secure?
Yes. We connect to Salesforce and HubSpot using their official APIs with OAuth or scoped API keys, never store credentials in plaintext, and follow least-privilege access. All data in transit is encrypted, and we can host the integration in your own cloud if required.
