Context

Once you have set up the HubSpot integration with GateWay, you must ensure that you associate each HubSpot company with their corresponding SRM customer record to make the integration fully functional.

To accomplish this, you must use HubSpot to create a custom property/field called Account Number and add each corresponding SRM customer number to that field. Placing the SRM customer number in this custom property enables HubSpot and SRM to talk to each other with GateWay as the intermediary between the two for each of your customers.

Once you set up the custom field in HubSpot, you must manually sync HubSpot with GateWay in order to complete the link to SRM. You only do this the first time then from that point on, the link is always active.

See: "Set Up the GateWay HubSpot Integration" for more information on how to initially set up the integration.
