Operations Hub
HubSpot's operations platform combining data sync, data quality automation, and programmable automation via custom-coded workflow actions.
Data sync
A connector that links HubSpot to an external system, mapping fields and syncing records in one or both directions.
Sync direction
The setting that determines whether records flow two-way, one-way from HubSpot, or one-way to HubSpot for a mapped field.
Field mapping
The definition linking an external field to a HubSpot property, including direction and any transformation applied during sync.
Sync filters
Criteria that limit which records participate in a sync, reducing volume and preventing unwanted records from entering HubSpot.
Sync history
A log of sync activity showing created, updated, failed, and skipped records along with error reasons for troubleshooting.
Preferred source
A conflict-resolution setting that designates which system's value wins when both sides change the same mapped field.
Format data action
A workflow action that standardizes values such as capitalization, dates, phone numbers, and numbers to a consistent format.
Clean data action
A workflow action that removes duplicates, fixes formatting issues, or clears property values to improve data quality.
Enrich data action
A workflow action that appends firmographic or company data from enrichment providers to fill missing properties.
Custom code action
A workflow action that runs JavaScript in a Node.js runtime, receiving inputs and returning outputs to HubSpot properties.
Secrets
Account-level stored credentials referenced in custom code via environment variables, keeping API keys out of source code.
Callback
The function a custom code action must call with outputFields to return results; failing to call it causes a timeout.
Output fields
Values returned by a custom code action's callback, declared in the action schema and mapped to HubSpot properties.
Input fields
Property values passed to a custom code action via event.inputFields, mapped from the enrolled record.
Deduplication
The process of identifying and merging duplicate records based on match keys such as email or domain.
Merge rules
Settings determining which record's property values survive a deduplication merge; the primary record's values are kept by default.
Calculated property
A read-only property whose value is derived from other properties using a formula and updates when sources change.
Rollup property
A property that aggregates values from associated records, such as count, sum, or average, supporting cross-object reporting.
Workflow enrollment criteria
Conditions that determine which records enter a workflow, such as record creation, property change, or form submission.
Re-enrollment
A workflow setting controlling whether a record can re-enter the workflow after completing it.
Goal criteria
Conditions that remove a record from a workflow once met, preventing redundant processing and conserving action executions.
Workflow branches
If/then logic that routes records to different actions based on property values, running actions only when conditions are met.
Action history
A per-record log showing each workflow action's status, including failures and skips with reasons.
Property history
An audit trail recording changes to a property, including the source such as sync, workflow, or user.
Association labels
Tags on object associations that distinguish relationship types, enabling workflows to act on specific associations.
Datasets
Multi-object data models that join records across objects for cross-object reporting and analysis.
Sandbox
A separate account environment for testing syncs, mappings, and custom code before promoting changes to production.
API rate limits
Per-account request caps that custom code actions and syncs must respect, often handled with batching and backoff.
Sync conflict
A situation where both sides change the same mapped field between syncs, resolved by preferred source or last-write-wins.
Match key
The field used to identify whether a synced record already exists, such as email for contacts or domain for companies.
Connector
A configured integration between HubSpot and an external app, with its own mappings, filters, and sync schedule.
Operations Hub tiers
Subscription levels that gate features such as data sync, data quality actions, custom code, and automated deduplication.
