**Step 2:** Sign in to your HubSpot account. Ensure you have admin permissions or access to set up an API integration.&#x20;

**Step 4:** Once connected, you will receive an email confirming that your HubSpot account is now linked to Primer. In addition, HubSpot will display "Connected" in the Connections section to indicate the successful connection.

**Step 5:** Primer will begin importing and processing your records.

**Ingestion Rate: 396,000 records per hour.** \
Example: 100K accounts + 300K contacts + 300K leads + 50K opportunities + 10K campaigns + 40K campaign members = 800K records = \~2 hours to ingest&#x20;
{% endhint %}

When importing records from HubSpot into Primer, we need to match your HubSpot records to our Primer database to ensure a consistent match rate with ad platforms.

The "object match rate" refers to our ability to confidently match a contact or company object to an existing record in our repository. Because we "pre-match" HubSpot data to our database, whenever you build an audience in Primer, that audience is much more likely to achieve a good match rate in ad platforms like Google, Meta, and LinkedIn.

**Step 6:** Once the Connection is complete, you can use HubSpot data to build audiences in Primer.

Standard HubSpot properties will be available immediately, enabling you to use them right away. Custom HubSpot properties may take a little longer to process the first time, but after initial use, they’ll be optimized for faster loading in the future.
