Seismic Integration Using Custom Apps and API

SOLVE

Has anyone used the custom app feature to create an API between Seismic and Hubspot? I am not a developer, but work closely with our development team for all marketing integrations. My team and I are trying to make the current seismic integration work, but due to the use of custom timeline integration we are unable to have any of the metrics pull into the reports section of HubSpot. If you have done so, how complicated was the build and what data were you able to transfer between the two? Seismic and HubSpot both have limited documentation that talks to this opportunity. Would this also require a webhook?

Seismic Integration Using Custom Apps and API

SOLVE

Hi @KMcKenna6,

 

Just to confirm, are you talking about this integration? If so it's using the CRM Cards API which admittedly does greatly limit your ability to report on any data. It's essentially just a "window" into Seismic from the HubSpot UI.

 

I've done some work to bridge the gap between these systems in the past. I was using Operations Hub and writing custom coded workflow actions to sync data back and forth based on changes in the CRM. I was also able to create scheduled jobs that would run on a daily basis. Setting this up was quite easy, especially considering it's all serverless so I didn't have to worry about any infrastructure configuration. 

 

Can you elaborate a bit more on "we are unable to have any of the metrics pull into the reports section of HubSpot". What sort of metrics are you hoping to sync and what sort of reports are you hoping to build?
