How do I use the Operations Hub?

Operations Hub was introduced by HubSpot to improve and speeden up the behind the scenes tasks. The two main benefits of Operations Hub is the ability to do bidirectional data sync from external apps and programmable workflow automations.

To access the new data sync tool, you will first need to connect the integration. Navigate to the Marketplace icon    from the top right hand corner, and select App Marketplace. Search for the app you want to connect, and in the top right hand corner select Install App. You will then be directed to log in to your account, review the access permissions, and then redirected back to the app section of HubSpot.

To turn on the data sync, navigate to the Marketplace icon   and underneath Manage from the drop down menu, select connected apps. Select the desired app, and click select Set up your sync.

You will then be directed to select the object that you want to sync. Select Next. You can then choose whether you want to complete a one way or two way data sync, by choosing All contacts or No contacts from the drop down menu on each app. You can also select sync filters. Within this page you can edit the sync rules as well as the field mappings included.
