In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat."

Author Ruben Burdin · Founder & CEO Published September 18, 2026 Read time 5 min read DATA ENGINEERING ## The operating decision HubSpot–Acumatica two-way sync for multi-trade service contracts should distinguish a sales renewal opportunity from an active service agreement. Acumatica-owned contract status and dates can inform HubSpot renewal work; sales-owned contacts and negotiation context can inform the approved handoff. Preserve the contract identifier and term version so a future renewal does not overwrite current coverage. Validate the actual contract entities and fields in the Acumatica environment before enabling their writes. Explore the complete [commercial HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors integration and automation hub](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/construction/commercial-mep-contractors) for the systems and processes around this guide. ![Summary card: HubSpot Acumatica sync for multi-trade MEP contract terms](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-highlights/icp-multi-trade-service-contracts-keep-hubspot-renewal-dates-and-acumatica-contract-status-aligned.webp) ## What this looks like in commercial HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors A contractor maintains HVAC equipment and provides electrical callouts for a commercial campus. The HVAC agreement renews in December, while electrical work is billed separately. A salesperson creates a combined renewal opportunity in HubSpot, but operations must continue honoring the current agreement until the new terms are accepted. The integration needs to show current coverage, proposed changes and the future effective date without telling dispatch that negotiations have already changed the contract. ## Records, ownership, and update rules | Record | Owner | Operating rule | | --- | --- | --- | | Active contract term | Contract administration | Own effective dates, active status and the covered service scope. | | Renewal opportunity | Sales | Track negotiation and forecast without changing the current agreement. | | Covered site and trade | Service administration | Identify which locations and categories belong to each term. | | Approved renewal version | Authorized commercial owner | Record the accepted scope, price and future effective date. | ![Record ownership diagram: Active contract term, Renewal opportunity, Covered site and trade](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams/icp-multi-trade-service-contracts-keep-hubspot-renewal-dates-and-acumatica-contract-status-aligned.webp) *Define the record owner and the rule before enabling updates.* ## Work through the process 1. 01 Identify the contract term Use the agreement reference plus a term or revision identifier to distinguish current service from next year's proposal. A customer can hold several contracts with different renewal dates. Map each relevant term to the correct opportunity rather than storing one misleading renewal date on the company record. 2. 02 Translate status for sales Define how active, suspended, expired and pending renewal states appear in HubSpot. Keep negotiation stage separate from operational status. A salesperson marking a renewal likely or closed-won should not reactivate an agreement that finance or service administration has suspended. 3. 03 Map coverage at the right granularity List the covered sites, equipment groups and trades. When a renewal adds a location or removes an inspection visit, preserve that proposed change in the future term. Operations needs a clear comparison against existing coverage before it accepts the new service obligation. 4. 04 Verify endpoint and association behavior Confirm the required Acumatica entities and field operations under the production role. In HubSpot, choose a supported representation for contract summaries and associations, checking plan requirements for custom objects. Test records and their relationships together so the renewal date never appears on an unrelated company. 5. 05 Handle the effective-date transition At the agreed start date, confirm the approved renewal is activated through the owning process. Return the resulting status to sales and retain the previous term. If approval or activation is delayed, keep the gap visible instead of assuming a successful opportunity update means service coverage has begun. 6. 06 Keep renewal ownership visible Assign a renewal owner for each agreement term and define who resolves missing scope before a proposal is sent. When several trades share the account, a company-wide sales owner may not know which service team can confirm coverage. The synchronized view should make the operational reviewer visible beside the renewal opportunity. That lets sales ask a precise question about a covered site or service frequency instead of circulating a generic contract export. ![6-step operating sequence: HubSpot Acumatica sync for multi-trade MEP contract terms](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams-mermaid/icp-multi-trade-service-contracts-keep-hubspot-renewal-dates-and-acumatica-contract-status-aligned.webp) *Follow the operating sequence; unresolved exceptions return to a responsible reviewer.* ## Handle the exceptions explicitly ### Customer has two agreements with different dates Create distinct term relationships and avoid overwriting a company-wide renewal field. ### Negotiated renewal is not yet signed Keep it proposed and retain current coverage until the required approval exists. ### Contract is suspended during renewal Route the conflict to the contract owner before presenting the agreement as active. ## What to verify before expanding - Current and proposed terms remain visible separately. - A won renewal opportunity cannot silently activate service. - Covered sites are attached to the correct agreement. - The effective-date transition preserves the previous contract term. ## Connect this process to the rest of your operation [Explore Stacksync two-way sync](https://www.stacksync.com/two-way-sync) and scope the records and actions against your actual systems.

Yes. Use the verified term end date to create the appropriate renewal motion while current coverage remains unchanged. The opportunity is a planning record until the commercial and operational approvals are complete. Should contract dates be editable in both systems? Only where there is an agreed ownership rule. A sales estimate of a likely start date should not replace the contract administrator's approved effective date. What happens when a customer combines HVAC and electrical coverage? Create or approve the new scope explicitly, compare it with the existing agreements, and retain the prior term references so dispatch and finance can interpret work across the transition.
