Fast HubSpot to BigQuery Integration via Real-Time Sync

Set up a fast, real-time HubSpot BigQuery integration in minutes to sync data bi-directionally and power your analytics without slow batch jobs.

Fast HubSpot to BigQuery Integration via Real-Time Sync

Connecting HubSpot's rich customer data with the powerful analytics of Google BigQuery is a transformative step for any data-driven company. The goal is clear: create a single, unified data hub for advanced analytics, machine learning, and comprehensive business intelligence. However, traditional methods like manual CSV exports or scheduled data transfers often fall short.

They introduce data delays, are complex to manage, and require constant maintenance [3]. The modern solution is a real-time, bi-directional sync that eliminates these challenges, allowing your business to operate with truly up-to-the-second information.

Why Integrate HubSpot with BigQuery?

Integrating HubSpot with BigQuery transforms your CRM data from a simple record-keeping system into a powerful strategic asset. This connection unlocks deeper insights and operational efficiencies that drive business growth.

Unlock Advanced Analytics and BI

Move beyond HubSpot's built-in reporting. By loading your data into BigQuery, you can use advanced SQL queries, run machine learning models directly with BigQuery ML, and connect to leading BI tools like Looker Studio and Tableau. This allows you to analyze complex customer journeys, perform detailed cohort analysis, and build predictive models for customer churn or lifetime value.

Create a Single Source of Truth

Your business data doesn't just live in HubSpot. By combining HubSpot data—like contacts, deals, and marketing activities—with data from other platforms like product databases, financial systems, or support tools, you can create a complete 360-degree view of your customer in BigQuery. This breaks down data silos and provides a single source of truth for your entire organization.

Enhance Data-Driven Decision-Making

When your teams have access to fresh, reliable data, they can make smarter decisions. A seamless integration empowers your marketing, sales, and RevOps teams to optimize campaigns, forecast revenue with greater accuracy, and personalize customer outreach. With a platform like Stacksync, you can achieve reliable data flows to make this a reality for your HubSpot and BigQuery integration.

Scale Your Data Operations

As your business grows, so does your data. Manually managing data exports becomes impossible at scale. BigQuery is engineered to handle petabyte-scale datasets, ensuring your analytics infrastructure can grow with your business without performance degradation.

The Problem with Traditional Integration Methods

While many tools promise to connect HubSpot and BigQuery, most rely on outdated methods that create more problems than they solve.

Data Latency from Batch Processing

Most integration tools use scheduled ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes that run periodically for instance, once every 24 hours [7]. This means your analytics team is always working with data that is hours or even a day old, making it unsuitable for real-time operational decisions.

Engineering Bottlenecks and High Maintenance

Building a custom integration using HubSpot's API is a significant undertaking that consumes valuable data engineering resources and requires continuous maintenance. Even no-code workflow builders, which are great for simple tasks, can become complex and brittle when used for large-scale data synchronization [4].

Risk of Hitting API Rate Limits

HubSpot, like most SaaS platforms, enforces API rate limits to ensure stability. Inefficiently designed integrations or high-volume data syncs can easily exceed these limits, causing syncs to fail and leaving you with incomplete or inconsistent data in your warehouse.

Limited to One-Way Data Flow

Traditional ETL is typically a one-way street: data flows from HubSpot to BigQuery. If you want to get valuable insights—like lead scores or customer segments—back into HubSpot to trigger actions, you need a separate process known as Reverse ETL. This often requires another tool or a complex custom build, adding more cost and complexity to your data stack.

The Solution: Real-Time, Bi-Directional Sync with Stacksync

Stacksync is a modern data integration platform built from the ground up to provide fast, reliable, and effortless data synchronization. It overcomes the limitations of traditional methods by delivering a truly real-time connection between your operational systems.

Real-Time Sync in Milliseconds

Instead of scheduled batches, Stacksync uses a Change Data Capture (CDC) approach that detects changes in HubSpot as they happen. These changes are then synced to BigQuery in near real-time, ensuring your data warehouse is always an up-to-the-second mirror of your CRM. You can sync HubSpot and BigQuery in real time with two-way sync to keep your analytics data fresh.

True Two-Way, Bi-Directional Sync

Stacksync enables data to flow seamlessly not only from HubSpot to BigQuery but also from BigQuery back to HubSpot. This bi-directional capability is a game-changer, unlocking powerful use cases like updating HubSpot records with lead scores or product usage data calculated in your warehouse. This allows for powerful BigQuery two-way sync integration and workflow automation.

No-Code Setup with Enterprise-Grade Reliability

Setting up a sync with Stacksync is a simple, wizard-based process that requires no coding. But simplicity doesn't mean sacrificing reliability. Features like Smart API Rate Limits intelligently manage sync speed to prevent failures, while a dedicated Issue Management dashboard makes troubleshooting easy.

Scales with Your Business

Stacksync is engineered to handle millions of records from day one. Whether you're syncing a few thousand contacts or your entire HubSpot database, you can trust our platform to perform without a hitch, allowing you to focus on generating insights, not managing infrastructure.

→  FAQS
How is a real-time sync different from a standard ETL process?
A standard ETL process runs in batches, meaning it extracts and loads data on a fixed schedule, such as every few hours or once a day. This creates data lag. In contrast, a real-time sync, like that offered by Stacksync, captures changes as they happen and syncs them in milliseconds. This ensures your data warehouse is always a current reflection of your source system.
Can I sync custom HubSpot objects and properties to BigQuery?
Yes, absolutely. Stacksync fully supports all standard and custom objects, as well as any custom properties or fields you've created in HubSpot. Our platform automatically detects your unique schema and ensures all your data, including custom fields, is mapped and synced correctly to BigQuery.
What happens if I hit HubSpot's API rate limits during the sync?
This is a common concern with high-volume integrations, but Stacksync has you covered. Our platform includes a "Smart API Rate Limits" feature that intelligently manages the sync speed. It automatically slows down or pauses the sync if it approaches HubSpot's quotas and resumes when it's safe, preventing failures and ensuring data integrity without any manual intervention.
Does this integration support two-way sync, from BigQuery back to HubSpot?
Yes. Stacksync is built for true bi-directional synchronization. This means you can not only send data from HubSpot to BigQuery for analysis but also sync insights, scores, or enriched information from BigQuery *back* to records in HubSpot. This unique capability allows you to operationalize your data and power workflows directly within your CRM.
How secure is the data transfer between HubSpot and BigQuery?
Security is our top priority. Stacksync uses industry-standard protocols like OAuth 2.0 for connections, so you never have to share credentials. All data is encrypted both in transit (using TLS 1.2+) and at rest. Furthermore, our platform is compliant with major security and privacy standards, including SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and HIPAA. This is a level of security that surpasses the basic setup of many native connectors
