Connecting your Mixmax account to HubSpot
Connecting your Mixmax account to HubSpot

This article teaches users how to connect their Mixmax account to HubSpot.

Updated over a week ago

HubSpot integration is available on the Mixmax Growth + CRM plan and above. Check out our pricing page for more information.

Teams that use HubSpot as their primary CRM can connect it to Mixmax and view synced activity from Mixmax in HubSpot to enhance visibility for the team’s communications with prospects and/or customers.

Mixmax integration with HubSpot makes it easier to assess your sales team's performance, evaluate its impact on the revenue pipeline, and act quickly on critical opportunities. Here is how it works.

Connecting your account to HubSpot

To connect your personal Mixmax account to HubSpot, go to your personal Integrations settings.

There are two options to connect to HubSpot.

  1. Automated Workflows: allows you to sync outgoing emails and tracking to HubSpot

  2. Manual Workflows: allows you to manually import HubSpot contacts in Sequences and view HubSpot data in the Mixmax sidebar

As a Mixmax best practice, we advise enabling both workflows

If you haven't logged in to HubSpot yet, you'll be prompted to do so.

Next, select which HubSpot account you wish to connect to Mixmax and click Choose Account to confirm.

Review the HubSpot permissions you will grant to Mixmax, then click Connect app, and you're all set!

Connecting the Mixmax app


Required permissions

To facilitate successful data syncing from Mixmax to HubSpot, users need to have certain permissions enabled in HubSpot.

To configure user permissions in HubSpot, click the gear Settings icon, then select Users and Teams in the left sidebar.

HubSpot settings

Hover over the user whose permissions you wish to change, click Edit permissions, and enable the required permissions as described below.

Editing user permissions

For more details, check how to Manage user permissions.

Installing the HubSpot app permissions

We recommend that the first user connecting to HubSpot in a Mixmax Workspace, preferably the Workspace admin, should have the 'App Marketplace access' permission enabled.

App access permission

Data Syncing permissions

The Mixmax Workspace admin needs to have the Data Syncing permissions outlined below enabled for themselves only if they also need to sync activities to HubSpot as a user.

If the admin only needs to install the HubSpot app for the Workspace but doesn't need to sync activities, they only need the "App Marketplace access" permission enabled.

Contacts

Users should be able to View and Edit "Contacts they own" to be able to log Mixmax activities to their own HubSpot Contacts.

If necessary, you can also grant certain users permission to View/Edit "All Contacts" or "Contacts their team owns." Such users will be able to sync Mixmax activities to Contacts they don't own, too.

You don't need to grant permission to Delete Contacts for Mixmax data syncing to work correctly.

Contacts permissions

Companies

Depending on how you want users to log Mixmax activities, you can grant them permission to View "Companies they own," "All Companies," or "Companies their team owns."

Keep in mind that users who can View "All Companies" or "Companies their team owns" will be able to sync Mixmax activities to Companies they don't own.

You don't need to grant permission to Edit or Delete Companies for Mixmax data syncing to work correctly.

Companies permissions

Deals

Depending on how you want users to log Mixmax activities, you can choose to grant them permission to View "Deals they own," "All Deals," or "Deals their team owns" as required.

Keep in mind that users who can View "All Deals" or "Deals their team owns" will be able to sync Mixmax activities to Deals they don't own.

You don't need to grant permission to Edit or Delete Deals for Mixmax data syncing to work correctly.

Deals permissions

Viewing Activities permissions

Your users should also be able to see the logged Mixmax activities in HubSpot. Grant users permission to view CRM emails and Notes to ensure they can view logged Emails and Notes.

You can specify whether users can view all, their team's, or only their own Emails and Notes. You should at least grant users permission to view the emails/notes they own, but we recommend allowing them to see emails/notes their team owns.

Viewing activities permissions


View HubSpot Lists permissions

Your users should also have access to view HubSpot contact lists so users are able to import their HubSpot contacts in Mixmax sequences. See more here on how to send sequences to HubSpot contacts.


FAQ

Can I connect the same Workspace to both Salesforce and HubSpot at the same time?

Yes. At the moment, you can connect both Salesforce and HubSpot to sync activities from Mixmax to these CRMs. However, please note that HubSpot syncing back to Mixmax is not supported at the moment.

What are all the permissions needed for automated workflows?

Users will need the following permissions for automated workflows:

  • crm.objects.contacts.read

  • crm.objects.contacts.write

  • crm.objects.owners.read

  • crm.objects.companies.read

  • crm.objects.deals.read

  • crm.lists.read

What are all the permissions needed for manual workflows?

Users will need the following permissions for manual workflows:

  • crm.objects.contacts.read

  • crm.objects.contacts.write

  • crm.lists.read

  • crm.objects.owners.read

  • crm.objects.users.read

  • crm.objects.companies.read

  • crm.objects.deals.read

  • crm.lists.read

Can you sync email activity from a recipient who is not a Mixmax Contact?

No. We will never sync email activities from someone who is not already a Mixmax Contact. For example, if you receive an email from someone who was not emailed by a Mixmax user after August 2023 (that is when we released the new version of Mixmax Contacts), this received email won’t sync to Hubspot. Sent emails will sync to HubSpot only if you enable the “Sync to Mixmax” setting (this setting is a prerequisite for the Mixmax contact to be created).

Are Mixmax exclusions settings applied when syncing email activities to HubSpot?

Yes. Exclusions you configure in your Workspace settings also apply to HubSpot. Mixmax email activities won't be synced against HubSpot contacts that belong to the exclusion list.

Can you choose which Mixmax activity types sync to HubSpot?

No, at the moment, all email activity types described above will be synced. We plan to add more configuration options for Workspace admins soon!

What is on the roadmap for HubSpot integration?

Soon, we will offer the opportunity to check HubSpot Activity Logs (similar to those available for Salesforce). We will also add the option to check which Workspace members are not connected to HubSpot yet and invite them to connect. Also, we will allow you to sync email activities that are happening out of Mixmax (e.g., emails sent from your mobile phone).

Are there any HubSpot limitations on the maximum number of emails to link per object, API usage within HubSpot limits, etc.?

Yes. The HubSpot limitations are as follows:

Paid Account

Free Account

# of emails per Deal

50k

10k

# of emails per Company

50k

10k

# of Contacts per Engagement/Deal

1k

1k

# of Companies per Engagement

1k

1k

# of Companies per Deal

1k

1k

# of Deals per Company

50k

10k

Keep in mind that the maximum amount of requests per HubSpot user is 4 requests per second, and the Hubspot API requests limit is 100 requests per 10 seconds per account (shared across all users connected). The Mixmax integration has the mechanisms in place to retry the sync for activities that fail because of these request limits.
