How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does

The moment a new company lands in HubSpot, this workflow searches Salesforce for a matching account. A clean domain match is auto-linked by writing the Salesforce ID back onto the HubSpot record. Anything ambiguous is parked in a Postgres queue and surfaced to a reviewer in Slack so a bad auto-merge never happens.

When to use it

Reps and forms keep creating HubSpot companies that already exist as Salesforce accounts. You want to catch the duplicate at the point of entry rather than during a nightly sweep.

How it works

  1. 1A HubSpot webhook fires on company creation.
  2. 2Search Salesforce by exact domain, then by normalized name.
  3. 3A logic branch sorts the result: no match, confident match, or ambiguous match.
  4. 4Confident matches write the Salesforce account ID back to the HubSpot record's external-ID field.
  5. 5Ambiguous matches are inserted into the Postgres review queue.
  6. 6The reviewer receives a Slack message to confirm or reject the link.
