What's the maximum amount of historical data initially available when you use a new HubSpot CRM Data Source Metric in Databox?

Data is synced for the Metrics that are being used in your Account, so when you first use a new HubSpot CRM Metric, the maximum amount of historical data available is 36 months. 

Certain Metrics may have more or less historical data available based on the API restrictions. 

For more information about the amount of historical data available for a specific Metric learn more here.

Pro Tip: In order to start syncing data for a Metric, you can add it to your Metrics screen, use it in a Scorecard, set a Goal around it, create an Alert for it, or add it to a Databoard. Learn more here.    
    The amount of historical data you're able to access in Databox is dependent on your Databox plan. Learn more here

What time zone does HubSpot CRM data sync in? 

HubSpot CRM data is synced in the time zone set in the HubSpot Account. For example, if your HubSpot Account time zone is set as EST, your HubSpot data will sync with Databox in EST. 

Which HubSpot Marketing plans have API access?

HubSpot Marketing Professional and HubSpot Marketing Enterprise Accounts can connect with Databox. Learn more here

Metric Considerations

  • Due to technical limitations, the Date Range ''All Time'' will return a maximum 36 months of historical data.
  • However, Metrics that represents total values (i.e. ''Total Contacts (Marketing)'', ''Total Revenue by Company'') will always show current total value when ''All Time'' Date Range is selected.
  • Due to API limitation, a maximum of 30 days (or at most 10,000 recent engagements) of historical data is available in Databox for the Engagement Metrics. 
  • Engagement Metrics include all metrics that report on Calls, Meetings, Tasks, Notes, and Emails from HubSpot CRM.

  • All currency Metrics (e.g., "Deals Closed Won Amount," "New Deals Created Amount," etc.) are synced without the corresponding unit (currency). The unit must be set in Databox. Learn more here.

Granularity Restrictions

  • Due to API limitations, hourly granularity is not supported. This may affect visualization options for Charts in Databox.

    For example, if a HubSpot CRM Metric is used on a Line or Bar Chart with ''Yesterday'' Date Range selected, hourly data won't be displayed on the Chart. However, the big number above the Chart will accurately reflect the Metric value for the selected Date Range.

    Learn more about Granularity here

API Limitations

  • Metrics in HubSpot accounts are reporting on data from Sunday to Saturday. There is no option to change the first day of the week within their UI. Read more here.

    In Databox, the first day of the week is set to Sunday by default. However, you are able to change it to Monday or Saturday. Learn more here.

    When validating weekly data in HubSpot vs Databox (e.g. looking at ''Week to Date'', ''This Week'' or "Last Week'' Date Ranges), it's important to compare data for the same time period (e.g. from Sunday to Saturday).
