About HubSpot integration

Viva Goals HubSpot integration enables you to link objectives and key results (OKRs) to HubSpot sales and marketing metrics for automatic real-time updates on progress.

Let's use this example: You have an objective to increase the number of marketing qualified leads (MQLs) this quarter. You can use HubSpot integration to save yourself the hassle of going back and forth between HubSpot and Viva Goals to update progress. Viva Goals will sync values for you, saving time while keeping your OKRs current.

All users and admins can use the HubSpot integration. Admins also have permissions to manage the integration from the admin dashboard.

How to connect HubSpot to your Viva Goals account

  1. Go to the Viva Goals integrations page at Admin > Integrations.

How to edit an existing Hubspot connection

Admins can also edit an existing Hubspot connection, including the integration’s name and shared state from the Hubspot integration view:

  1. Start in the Integrations section in the Admin Dashboard. Select Hubspot.

  2. Select the Edit icon next to the Hubspot connection. In the dialog box that appears, you can edit the Connection Name and select or clear the Share connection with all users checkbox.

How to use Hubspot integration

Now that the integration is enabled, your team can link a Hubspot metric with an OKR:

  1. When you add or edit an objective or key result, you can choose to measure progress by KPI or % complete. Select HubSpot from the list of integrations available.
