Struto's ConnectWise to HubSpot Integration Webinar
Integrating ConnectWise with HubSpot improves MSP operations by bridging the gap between sales and service. By synchronising data between the ConnectWise PSA and HubSpot CRM, Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can eliminate data silos, automate manual entry, and provide a 360-degree view of the customer. This ensures that sales teams have visibility into active support tickets, while service teams understand the full sales context, leading to reduced administrative overhead and higher profitability.
Why Do Disconnected Systems Hurt MSP Productivity?
Disconnected systems hurt MSP productivity by forcing teams to work in isolation, often referred to as "data silos." In a typical setup, sales and marketing teams operate in HubSpot, while service and operations teams live in ConnectWise Manage. Without integration, a salesperson might reach out to a client unaware of a critical, unresolved support ticket logged in ConnectWise. This lack of context creates disjointed customer experiences and forces staff to waste hours manually cross-referencing data or copying information between platforms.
How Does Integration Unify the Customer View?
Integration unifies the customer view by creating a bi-directional flow of data between the CRM and the PSA. A robust integration ensures that when a contact is updated or a deal is won in HubSpot, the corresponding record in ConnectWise is automatically updated. Conversely, ticket status changes in ConnectWise can be synced back to HubSpot. This gives every department—from marketing to service—a 360-degree view of the customer, enabling smoother handoffs and more informed decision-making without the need to switch applications.
What Are the Operational Benefits of Automating Data Entry?
The primary operational benefit of automating data entry is the reduction of administrative overhead. MSPs often struggle with "swivel-chair integration," where staff manually re-type sales data into the finance or project management system. By automating this workflow, businesses eliminate the risk of human error (such as typos in billing details) and free up valuable resources. Staff can refocus their time on strategic initiatives, such as nurturing client relationships or closing deals, rather than performing low-value administrative tasks.
Can You Integrate ConnectWise and HubSpot Without Custom Code?
Yes, you can integrate ConnectWise and HubSpot without building custom code from scratch by using middleware solutions. Platforms like strutoIX act as a bridge, managing the complex logic required to map fields between the two systems. This approach allows MSPs to deploy a reliable, secure integration quickly, ensuring that leads, deals, and support tickets flow seamlessly between the platforms without the maintenance burden of bespoke software development.

People Also Ask (FAQ)
What is ConnectWise Manage?
ConnectWise Manage is a Professional Services Automation (PSA) software designed for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to handle ticketing, billing, project management, and inventory.
Does HubSpot have a native ConnectWise integration?
While there are basic connectors available, deep integration requiring complex logic (such as syncing custom objects or specific ticket workflows) often requires a dedicated middleware solution or a specialised partner integration.
Why is pipeline visibility important for MSPs?
Pipeline visibility ensures that the operations team knows what deals are closing soon. This allows them to plan resource allocation and project capacity in ConnectWise before the new client is even onboarded.
What data should I sync between HubSpot and ConnectWise?
To achieve a holistic view, you should sync Contacts, Companies, Deals (to Projects/Agreements), and Ticket status. This ensures alignment between sales activity and service delivery.
