HubSpot is an inbound marketing, sales and service software to help attract visitors, convert leads and close customers. HubSpot integrates with FreshBooks to sync your HubSpot Customers and Evangelist leads into FreshBooks as clients as you win leads.

FAQs
What information is synced between my HubSpot contacts and FreshBooks clients?
Both HubSpot and FreshBooks will match with the below:
- First Name
- Last Name
- Company/Company Name
- Phone
- Mobile phone
- Street/Street address
- City
- Zip/Postal code
- State/Region
- Country
What happens if I have multiple FreshBooks clients with the same email?
HubSpot will sync the contact details to the most recently created client in FreshBooks.
My contacts were not synced, what happened?
If your contacts are not syncing to FreshBooks or vice versa to HubSpot, check the following:
- In HubSpot, your contact must be in the Customer or Evangelist lifecycle stage
- In both HubSpot and FreshBooks, client must have an email address
Once you make the necessary adjustments, it can take anywhere from 1-10 minutes for the sync to update.
What happens if I delete a customer in HubSpot or a client in FreshBooks?
Whether the customer in HubSpot or the client in FreshBooks is deleted, its corresponding match in the other software will not be removed. You will need to delete the copy of the contact or client in the other software as well.
If the contact is deleted in HubSpot, then later is updated inside FreshBooks with any of the synced information shared between the two (e.g., email), it will trigger HubSpot to recreate the contact.
Why are invoices and payments from a FreshBooks client missing in their HubSpot contact profile?
First, ensure the correct contact and company profile are linked in HubSpot. Then, review if you have integration activity turned off with these steps:
- In HubSpot, ensure you’re inside a contact’s profile
- Select the Activity tab at the top
- Select the Filter activity (x/x) link
- Ensure Integrations is checked off
- Review if the FreshBooks Invoices and FreshBooks Payments sections appear on the right side of the contact profile.
