How it Works

When you connect Hindsight to your HubSpot CRM, you’ll be able to import specific Deals into Hindsight. Hindsight will analyze these Deals to extract competitive insights based on your decision drivers.

You can set up automation rules in Hindsight that automatically import Deals based on custom criteria. You can use your HubSpot data to filter in the Win-Loss dashboard and analyze your Deals based on specific criteria, such as stage, amount, or close date.

Daily Sync

Opportunties are synced for the latest data every 12 hours. This means that any changes made to your Deals in HubSpot will be reflected in Hindsight automatically. Hindsight listens to Deals via webhooks to make this seamless for users.

Supported Objects

Hindsight only syncs objects associated with the Deals that you import. This includes:

  • Deals
  • Account
  • Products
  • Contacts
  • Custom Fields
  • Notes
  • Emails
  • Meetings
  • Tickets

Segments

You can configure segments in Hindsight to filter your Deals based on custom criteria. This allows you to analyze specific subsets of your Deals, such as those with a certain stage, amount, or close date. Segments are useful for analyzing your Deals based on specific criteria, such as:

  • Deals with a certain stage or pipeline (e.g. “Closed Won, New Business”)
  • Deals with a certain amount (e.g. ”> $10,000”)
  • Deals with a certain close date (e.g. “Next 30 days”)
  • Deals with a certain account type (e.g. “Enterprise”)
  • Deals with a certain product (e.g. “Product A”)
  • Deals with a certain region (e.g. “North America”)

Connecting HubSpot

Authorization

Authorizing HubSpot requires admin access to your HubSpot account. Click “Connect” on the integrations page and follow the authorization steps. This will redirect you to the HubSpot authorization page. Click “Allow” to authorize Hindsight to access your HubSpot account. If you’re having issues, contact your HubSpot admin.

Import Rules

Setting up import rules allows you to automatically import Deals into Hindsight based on custom criteria. This is useful for keeping Hindsight’s insights up-to-date without manual intervention. We recommend filtering to Closed Won and Lost Deals. You can also filter by custom fields, such as “Region” or “Product”, to analyze specific subsets of your Deals.

Customization

Deals Stages

To help Hindsight understand your custom Deals stages, navigate to the CRM Settings and click the “Stages” tab. Mark your custom Deals stages as “Closed Won” or “Closed Lost” to help Hindsight analyze your Deals correctly. This will allow Hindsight to tag your Deals with the correct status and provide accurate win-loss insights.

Custom Properties

You can customize the properties that Hindsight uses to analyze your Deals in CRM Settings on the “Deals” and “Accounts”. Having more properties makes analysis and sync slower, so “turn off” You can map your custom properties to Hindsight’s default properties like “Region”, “Type”, and “Amount”. Properties that are “Synced” but not mapped to a Hindsight property will still be analyzed and available for filtering.

Line Items

Hindsight pulls in your line items from HubSpot to analyze your Deals. This allows Hindsight to provide insights on specific products and services associated with your Deals.
