How to connect HubSpot Marketing to Databox

To connect a HubSpot Marketing Account in Databox, go to  Data Manager > + New connection. Type HubSpot Marketing in the search bar and click on the green Connect button. 

This will open the  Authorization window, which is where you will be prompted to enter your HubSpot login credentials and authorize the Databox app. 

What HubSpot Marketing permissions do you need to connect to Databox?

To connect a HubSpot Marketing account in Databox, it is recommended that you have Super Admin permissions in the HubSpot portal.

If you did not have the appropriate permissions when you initially connected your HubSpot Marketing Data Source, you will need to reconnect the HubSpot Marketing Data Source once your permissions have been updated.

What's the maximum amount of historical data initially available when you use a new HubSpot Marketing 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 Marketing Metric, the maximum amount of historical data available is 36 months. 

Certain Metrics may have more or less historical data available. For example, metrics that represent the total metric value (i.e. ''Landing Pages'', ''Emails Clicked by Email Title (by Create Date)'', ''Blog Subscribers'', etc.) do not have historical data available when first used. We only pull in the total current value, but we will accumulate historical data for these Metrics in Databox over time and the metric value will be shown cumulatively.  

For more information about the amount of historical data available for a specific Metric, please contact our Support Team at [email protected] .

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.    

What time zone does HubSpot Marketing data sync in? 

HubSpot Marketing 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. 

How to access pre-built HubSpot Marketing Templates

Databoards > Public Templates Data Source HubSpot Marketing Preview Use Template Databoards
Pro Tip: Once the Databoard is available on the Databoards page, it is completely disconnected from the public Template. Therefore, you can further customize this Databoard to meet your specific needs using the Designer.

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. ''Contacts'', ''Contacts by Active List'', etc.) will always show current total value when ''All Time'' Date Range is selected.

  • "Active List" Metrics (Basic and Custom): Data is only accessible from the date the Active List was created and on. Data from before the Active List was created does not exist. 

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 Marketing 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.

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).

  • Only the first 1000 Active Lists from your HubSpot Marketing Account are accessible via the API.
  • When Contact Lifecycle Stages are updated in HubSpot, it may take up to 24 hours for the change to be reflected in HubSpot's API and in Databox.
