Do you need help with HubSpot API Integration?

 

Let's start by understanding what is an API?

Wikipedia gives the following definition for an API:

"In computer programming, an application programming interface (API) is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. An API expresses a software component regarding its operations, inputs, outputs, and underlying types, defining functionalities that are independent of their respective implementations, which allows definitions and implementations to vary without compromising the interface. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks, which are then put together by the programmer." Source Wikipedia.

 

So what does this mean and how does it help you?

Using API integrations, we can create custom applications and add-ons for your HubSpot deployment. Importantly, we can build bridges to your existing systems and make them talk to HubSpot.

Working within the HubSpot guidelines, The Kingdom has developed the required software that integrates the Hubspot API. With this, we have the tools to work with data from other systems.

Most major cloud software providers provide API access to their applications. With API connectivity, we are most likely able to connect to HubSpot in some way.

We can integrate data from your existing sales, marketing, contacts and other legacy systems. Through the HubSpot API, there is a fair chance we can connect your system with HubSpot and the HubSpot CRM.

 

We use third party interfaces or code from scratch.

There is a range of third-party apps that help the API integration process. We love the Zapier program that streamlines the API integration process. Zapier takes popular cloud-based programs and matches their APIs.

Zapier has an easier interface, so it speeds up the development process.

HubSpot is one of over 200 different apps supported by Zapier.

The Kingdom programming team are able to code a HubSpot API from scratch. API application development can be quite tricky and requires the use of an external server to PUT and GET information triggered by PHP calls using JSON scripts. If you have no idea what that means, fear not, we are here to help.

Bottomline is, we get data into your HubSpot portal for you.

 

So, how do we create a HubSpot API solution?

The first thing we do is understand what data we can export out of your existing system.

The more modern your database system is, the more likely that you will have an API library.

If an API library does not exist, then we will be looking for ways to export the data out of your existing system. We will look for CSV export, or Tab delimited export functions.

If you can get the data out, then the chances are very high that we will be able to get the data into HubSpot.

We can get data out of HubSpot using API calls. To get this HubSpot data back into your system, if your app does not have an API library, we will require some form of import feature in your system.

The Kingdom team are are experts in this process with over 20 years of data manipulation experience.

If you do have a legacy business system that you want to connect to HubSpot, then The Kingdom programming team can help you, we have years of programming experience in multiple languages.

 

Are you looking to integrate eCommerce with HubSpot?

We also understand how to connect eCommerce stores into your HubSpot platform. We are Shopify Partners and Revenue Conduit Partners. With knowledge of these two cloud-based software platforms, plus our market leading expertise in HubSpot, we can perform the difficult data transfers.

We are also able to write dedicated applications that talk backwards and forwards to your system using API connectivity.
