How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each updated hubspot company.

The problem it solves

Your support and sales teams work out of different systems, and neither one has the full picture. You end up manually cross-checking Zendesk and HubSpot to make sure customer information matches, which eats into time you don't have.

Who it fits

A support or sales team running both Zendesk and HubSpot who need one consistent view of each customer.

How it works

  1. Every 5 minutes, it checks HubSpot for companies that were recently updated
  2. It looks up any matching tickets for those companies in Zendesk
  3. It combines the records so both systems reflect the same information
  4. If the company already exists in Zendesk it updates it, otherwise it creates one
What you get

One consistent customer record everywhere

You get HubSpot companies and Zendesk tickets matched and kept in sync automatically every five minutes.

What you get

Zendesk organization records that stay current with your latest HubSpot data.

What you need

A Zendesk account and a HubSpot account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
