The main one is Zapier which can connect just about anything, but we also  
use Mailshake which is an awesome yet very inexpensive emailing tool with  
fantastic API connectivity. We also run our own server to read/write  
directly through the Hubspot API. There are several other services we use  
such as gmail, google docs, mysql, ring central, and several other  
third-party apps. Pretty much anything that has API access can be connected.
