Overview

Unify can sync data between HubSpot objects and Unify objects. However, the exact fields in HubSpot differ from Unify, so Unify needs to understand how to sync data between the two systems. This is done using field mappings.

Setup

Change field mappings

When you first connect your HubSpot instance, Unify will automatically prepare the field mappings for you. If you use any custom properties in place of default HubSpot properties, you may want to update the mappings before Unify starts syncing data.

In the HubSpot integration settings, look for the Company, Person, and Email Message field mappings at the bottom of the page. Select one to view and edit the field configuration.

Customize which fields are synced to and from HubSpot.

You can return to update these mappings any time in the future, so you don’t need to worry about getting them perfect right off the bat!

(Optional) Create custom properties

You can write values to default properties and custom properties. In order to write to custom properties, they must already exist in HubSpot.

While some of the fields Unify can write exist as standard properties in HubSpot, many of them do not. In particular, Unify-specific fields (like the name of the Sequence a person was enrolled in) do not exist in HubSpot by default. In order to write these values to HubSpot, you will need to create custom properties before mapping them.

Here’s what the process looks like for adding Contact properties. First, in HubSpot, navigate to CRM -> Contacts.

Select Actions -> Edit properties.

Navigate to Groups -> Create group.

Type in the name of the group (recommended title “Unify information”) and click Create.

Navigate to Properties -> Create property.

When editing the property details, make sure the Object type is set properly (in this case, to Contact) and the Group is set to the group you created earlier. You can fill in the Label and Description as desired.

Lastly, select the Field type and click Create.

This is what your Contact properties filtered to your new group might look like after you’ve added them:

You can then repeat this process for Company properties as well.

Available fields

Below is a full list of the values that can be configured in the field mappings for each object type. Some of these are standard properties, while others provide Unify-specific information, such as the name of the Sequence that a person was enrolled in.
