Astrea Team has built a smart Custom Connector in Java to Load Hubspot API data into Wave. HubSpot is a software product for inbound marketing and sales. HubSpot provides tools for social media marketing, content management, web analytics, landing pages and search engine optimization. HubSpot has integration features for Salesforce.com, SugarCRM, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics CRM and others. There are also third-party services such as templates and extensions.
Initially, we have considered Contacts, Engagement Objects etc of Hubspot API for our Hubspot Wave Connector. Our Connector pulls the data from these objects and pushes the same into Wave to create datasets for Reports/Charts Building. We also provides Scheduler facility in our Hubspot connector so that the Businesses can push the Hubspot data at their convenient time interval for analysis.
Need For Hubspot Wave Connector:
Hubspot CRM can store 1,000,000 contacts per account. So it is not possible to store and handle this much data in any other Cloud Based BI Tool if the Business House want to Create Dashboards on Hubspot Data(usually impose data size limitation of around 10MBs only in Various Cloud based BI Platforms) and hence we have made Hubspot Wave Connector For Hubspot API. We are storing and handle GBs of data in Custom Connector. There are some limitation to External Data API.
