Add Human Approval with Relay

Even with a native connector, add approval gates for lead assignment and ownership checks.

  1. 1 A net-new lead enters Salesforce
  2. 2 Sales ops reviews owner, segment, and duplicate risk
  3. 3 The reviewer approves with one click or sends back for cleanup
  4. 4 Approved leads sync to HubSpot with an audit trail

Relay works best when mistakes are expensive:

  • - Finance workflows (refunds, invoices, reconciliation)
  • - Compliance-sensitive updates (audit-ready approvals)
  • - Revenue operations changes (ownership, routing, deal updates)

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Salesforce integrate directly with HubSpot? ▼

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

Is the connection between Salesforce 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 Salesforce security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way? ▼

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

Will existing data in Salesforce 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.
