Frequently Asked Questions

Does Intercom integrate directly with HubSpot?

Yes, Intercom has a native integration with HubSpot. It is available directly within the Intercom app marketplace.

Is the connection between Intercom and HubSpot secure?

Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Intercom security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way?

This is typically a one-way sync: Intercom → HubSpot. Changes in HubSpot do not sync back to Intercom.

Will existing data in Intercom sync to HubSpot?

Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.
