Contact Property Mapping integrates HubSpot's custom fields with Aloware, allowing Admins to create new fields in Aloware, define data types, and sync them seamlessly with HubSpot. This ensures synchronized and accurate contact information across both platforms.

Prerequisites

  1. Before you get started, make sure your Aloware account is connected to your HubSpot account.

  2. Only Admins can set up HubSpot mapping fields.

  3. Ensure you have created your custom contact fields in Aloware from the account > custom contact menu.

Step 1: Adding custom contact fields in HubSpot

To match HubSpot records with Aloware, you need to first create custom contact fields in HubSpot:

  1. Log in to your HubSpot account, click the Settings icon, then go to Properties in the Data Management section.

  2. Click the Create Property button to add a new property.

  3. Fill in the required details for the new property.

The custom fields you create will appear in HubSpot.

Step 2: Adding custom contact fields in Aloware

  • Access HubSpot settings

    From Aloware admin, navigate to HubSpot settings from the integration menu.

  • Enable editing

    In the contact property mapping section, switch Enable editing.

  • Understanding mapping legends

:lock:

Locked field indicates a field that cannot be modified.

:no_entry_sign:

:wastebasket:

Delete mapping allows you to delete an existing mapping.

  • Add a new mapping

    • Click the +Add mapping button.

    • Select the Aloware field and its corresponding HubSpot contact property.

    • Click Save to confirm the mapping.

  • Controlling synchronization - determine which fields to sync and the direction of synchronization:

Aloware

:Left:

HubSpot

Aloware

:Righ:

HubSpot

Aloware

:Both:

HubSpot

For example:

  • Aloware phone number maps to HubSpot phone number.

  • Aloware contact disposition status maps to HubSpot lead status.

  • Aloware email maps to HubSpot email.

Mapping custom fields:

  • Aloware State maps to HubSpot State/Region. (HubSpot State/Field does not sync back to Aloware).

  • HubSpot Postal Code syncs as Zipcode to Aloware. (Aloware Zipcode does not sync back to HubSpot).

  • Contact Owner syncs on both platforms.

Note - Ensure that the data types match between the fields to maintain compatibility. For instance, avoid mapping a text field to a number field.


Step 3: Verifying and deleting mapped fields

Verifying mapped fields

In Aloware admin, click the Pull contacts button to sync contact information from HubSpot.

Deleting mapped field

  1. Click the trash icon next to the field you wish to delete.

  2. Click Save to confirm the deletion.
