Every Sage environment is configured differently, and no two businesses use HubSpot in exactly the same way. That’s why off-the-shelf integrations rarely deliver what’s needed.
At H&D, we take a consulting-led approach. Our team works with you to understand your specific Sage product setup (Sage 50, Sage 200, or Sage Intacct) and the data flows that matter most to your business. We then design and build a tailored integration using our Integration Glue Framework — ensuring a clean, scalable, and reliable connection between HubSpot and Sage.
The result: your teams get access to the right data in the right place, without manual entry, duplication, or compromise.
Common Use Cases
- Syncing customer records so sales and finance teams work from a single source of truth
- Passing invoices and payment status into HubSpot to give sales visibility of account health
- Feeding order or subscription data into HubSpot for better customer engagement and reporting
- Automating updates back into Sage from HubSpot to reduce manual entry and errors
- The result: your teams get access to the right data in the right place, without duplication or compromise.
Gotchas, Challenges & Limitations
Product Variation
There is a common misconception that all Sage products are similar. In reality, each product (e.g., Sage Intacct, Sage 200, Sage HR) has its own distinct API and data structure.
This means that a new integration must be developed for each Sage product, as there is minimal overlap.
It is also important that you are clear on what version of Sage you are using up front.

Data Visibility & Quality
When Sage data is surfaced in HubSpot, it often exposes inconsistencies that were previously hidden. At first glance, these can look like integration issues, but they usually stem from historical data quality or Sage configuration.
Validating this can be time-consuming, so involve a Sage data expert during testing and post-launch. They’ll quickly determine whether issues come from the integration or the source data itself.
Also allow budget for potential Sage changes, integrations often reveal gaps or misconfigurations that need addressing.
Tip: Engage a Sage expert early to save time, reduce frustration, and ensure a smooth integration.

Integration Options
Integrating HubSpot with Sage 50, Sage 200, or Sage Intacct is not a one-size-fits-all exercise. Each business has unique processes, data models, and compliance requirements. With years of experience delivering complex HubSpot and finance system integrations, we know where the pitfalls lie and how to design solutions that work reliably at scale.
iPaaS & Automation Tools
iPaaS platforms and automation tools often look like the “quick fix.” In reality, they come with challenges:
- Expensive: subscription costs add up quickly.
- Constrained: limited flexibility, often unable to handle advanced requirements.
- Outdated: many don’t keep pace with the latest APIs and custom objects.
- Risky: builds frequently hit limitations mid-project, forcing pivots that cause delays and additional costs.
We’re happy to support other platforms, but because they often introduce limitations or unexpected roadblocks, we can’t provide fixed-price quotes or guaranteed timelines. For this reason, we strongly recommend locking in your integration scope, timeline, and delivery date before starting other parts of your project.
If you do choose a different tool, our HubSpot integration experts can still support you on a consulting basis, with blocks of hours available to guide your team through implementation.

HubSpot Data Sync
Where Sage objects and fields are supported by HubSpot Data Sync (part of Data Hub), this is our recommended first approach.
Data Sync provides a secure, native synchronisation layer with minimal configuration and is fully maintained by HubSpot, offering fast setup and low ongoing maintenance for core CRM alignment.
Because Sage products vary significantly in data structure and API capability, Data Sync support is typically limited to contacts and companies. Where businesses need to sync financial data, transactional records, or automate workflows between Sage and HubSpot, we can help extend HubSpot’s native integration capabilities with additional configuration or custom development.
Custom Integration Development
Some integrations require more than standard mappings or out-of-the-box tools can provide. When your Sage environment involves financial data, multi-object relationships, conditional rules, or processes that must align tightly with HubSpot, we deliver a fully tailored custom integration built around your business workflows.
Our custom development approach allows us to design integrations that connect directly to your data structure, financial processes, compliance requirements, and reporting needs. This ensures a clean, scalable, and future-ready connection between HubSpot and the Sage products used across your organisation.

Our Approach
What Makes Our Approach Different
- Consulting-Led: We tailor every integration to your Sage instance and business needs.
- Future-Proof: built on the latest HubSpot APIs and objects, unlike many packaged tools
- Delivered by Experts: all consulting, design, and development work is handled by H&D / Avidly’s experienced team.
- Cost-Effective: faster to build and maintain than iPaaS solutions, with lower long-term costs.
- Proven Framework: To accelerate development and maintain enterprise-grade reliability, our team builds on a structured internal integration framework that provides best-practice SDLC processes, secure hosting, version control, monitoring, and consistent development patterns.
This framework enables rapid setup, stable delivery, and simplified long-term maintenance, while still giving you a fully custom integration tailored to your Sage configuration and specific HubSpot requirements.
The result: a flexible, reliable integration built to last, delivered by experts who understand both HubSpot and Sage inside out.
Hosting, Monitoring & Maintenance
- GCP Logging: We use Google Cloud Platform (GCP) logging for standard monitoring and to track the integration's health.
- Sentry: Sentry provides in-depth error logging and notifications for specific issues.
- Sage Internal Logs: Sage's own internal logs and access logs can be reviewed for additional insight into the integration's activity.
All integration approaches, iPaaS, automation tools, and Integration Glue custom integrations, involve hosting costs. Integration Glue Custom Integration hosting typically starts from USD $99 per month. This can be tailored to your business needs (e.g. static IP addresses, custom network configurations) at an additional cost.
With Integration Glue Custom Integration Hosting, you’re covered for major HubSpot updates as well as generic security and framework improvements.
However, changes to how the integration functions, such as new mappings, transformations, or adjustments to your Sage platform, are not included in the hosting fee.
We’ve also seen with iPaaS and automation platforms that platform changes can cause delays, outages, or require configuration workarounds to keep systems running.
To avoid disruption, we recommend a maintenance contract with H&D, giving you:
- Peace of mind: proactive monitoring and error detection
- Less downtime: quick response to issues before they escalate
- Future-ready integrations: small changes applied as your HubSpot or Sage setup evolves
- Continuous improvement: enhancements that keep your integration running smoothly and optimally
