Understanding sync settings
The HubSpot admin sync tab manages contact data synchronization between Aloware and HubSpot. It offers automated data syncing. By default, Aloware serves as the data receiver, but you can configure syncing based on your specific needs.
Your sync settings consist of two (2) main operations:
Contact creation
When new contacts are added to either system, you can control how they flow between platforms:
Bi-directional sync (β) - contacts created in Aloware are pushed to HubSpot, and contacts created in HubSpot are created in Aloware.
Inbound sync (β) - contacts created in Aloware are not sent to HubSpot, but HubSpot-created contacts are created in Aloware.
Contact update
When existing contact information changes, you can determine how updates are handled:
Bi-directional sync (β) - contact updates from Aloware are reflected in HubSpot, and contact updates from HubSpot are reflected in Aloware.
Inbound sync (β) - contact updates in Aloware will not be sent to HubSpot, but HubSpot contact updates will be reflected in Aloware.
Recommended configuration
The default configuration allows both systems to create contacts (bi-directional creation). However, for contact updates, we recommend using inbound sync only, where Aloware cannot update existing contact information in HubSpot. This prevents unintended overwriting of carefully managed CRM data.
One time operations (Push and Pull)
One-time pulls or pushes should not be regular practices. These operations are designed for initial setup or troubleshooting scenarios. Each button displays the latest update information (e.g., "Last push contact: Jul 10, 2024, 6:38 PM PDT").
Contacts management
To ensure that Aloware remains in sync with HubSpot, there may be instances where a one-time data pull or push is necessary.
Push contacts - this operation sends Aloware contacts to HubSpot, updating the contacts in HubSpot based on Aloware data.
Pull contacts - this operation imports HubSpot contacts into Aloware. Note that this action incurs LRN lookup charges.
Data synchronization
Pull lead statuses - imports HubSpot lead statuses into Aloware as contact disposition statuses.
Pull call outcomes - imports HubSpot call outcomes into Aloware as call disposition statuses.
When the HubSpot integration is enabled, only call and contact dispositions that are synced from HubSpot will be displayed within the application. This ensures that users only interact with relevant data associated with their HubSpot account.
For more details on call outcomes, see our guide.
Contact dispositions can only be added from HubSpot when integration is enabled
Call dispositions can only be added from HubSpot when integration is enabled
Pull activity types - imports HubSpot call and meeting types to utilize in the Aloware Talk Dialer following the end of a call. For more information on this feature, refer to our detailed documentation: HubSpot call and meeting types in Aloware.

Pull deals - retrieves HubSpot deals into Aloware, including basic deal information (amount, pipeline and stage). This allows you to manage your contacts in Aloware based on the deal owners identified in the IVR system.
