The vision for Hubspot was always to be an all-in-one solution. Everything you need to market and sell to your customers, in one simple but powerful platform. Over the last few years HubSpot have stayed fairly true to that vision, but they weren’t addressing every customer touchpoint.
When you think about it, your customers are interacting with you all over the place. They are seeking information from your support desk, they are paying their bills to your billing system, engaging with you on live chat, and they are interacting with your entire organization.
Until now the HubSpot platform was missing some of these important customers interactions.
Today at the annual INBOUND conference in Boston, HubSpot reiterated their commitment to being an all-in-one platform. Through integrations with various business systems, HubSpot will soon be able surface customer interaction data from across the entire organization.
They have dubbed this new integration marketplace HubSpot Connect. Essentially, HubSpot Connect is a collection of natively supported integrations that allow you to pull all of your customer interactions right into the HubSpot timeline. You will soon be able to surface information from customer touchpoints like your conference call software, accounting systems, customer support channels, and many more.
HubSpot Connect will be launched with more than 30 supported integration partners, nine of which are newly established HubSpot connections.
Not only will you be able to see data from your integrated apps right in the timeline view, but you will also be able to segment by this data. This means that you’ll be able to pull a list of who’s paid their bill and who hasn’t, or even enrol people who’ve used livechat to ask about your pricing in a specific nurturing workflow. The use cases for HubSpot connect are rather endless.
As highlighted in the HubSpot Connect product release keynote, several of the HubSpot Connect launch partners are new to the HubSpot integration marketplace. Here is a quick run down of the nine newly announced HubSpot integrations:
