Why Should You Integrate HubSpot with Salesforce?

HubSpot is an excellent choice for businesses that are just getting started, have little financial resources, and are able to depend on manual data management and upkeep.

These platforms are easy to connect and also work together to provide you with the best results possible.

Before we get started, you'll need to have a HubSpot account and also a Salesforce account. If you don't have a HubSpot account, you can sign up for one here. You can sign up for a free trial here if you don't have a Salesforce account. Once you have both accounts set up, you'll need to generate a Connected App in Salesforce. A Connected App is an application that connects to Salesforce using the APIs. 

To generate a Connected App, follow these steps:
