How to connect Accredo to HubSpot

Most NZ businesses running Accredo also run HubSpot. The accounts team lives in Accredo (debtors, invoices, statements); the sales team lives in HubSpot (deals, contacts, pipeline). The gap between the two is where customer experience falls apart.

A salesperson chases a renewal without knowing the customer is 47 days overdue. The accounts team chases an invoice without knowing the salesperson just promised them a discount. The customer gets two conflicting messages in the same week.

This guide is about closing that gap — connecting Accredo and HubSpot so both teams work from the same record.

What gets synced

Three entity types do the heavy lifting:

Companies — Accredo debtors → HubSpot Companies. Match on NZBN/ABN where you have it; account number as the stable ID; email as a fallback.
Contacts — people inside those companies. Accredo doesn’t model contacts well, so HubSpot is usually the contacts master and Accredo gets the company-level summary.
Financial state — credit limit, current balance, AR aging buckets, last invoice date, last payment date — all surfaced as custom properties on the HubSpot Company record.

Optional but high-value:

Open invoices — as a HubSpot custom object collection on the Company, so a salesperson can see “this customer has $X overdue” without leaving HubSpot.
OE order history — recent orders, average order value, top SKUs.
Special Pricing flags — which trade tier the customer is on.

Why surface financial state in HubSpot at all?

Three workflows it unlocks:

Renewal calls become informed. Salesperson sees credit limit, balance, last invoice — instead of opening Accredo on a second monitor.
Pipeline scoring gets real. A deal flagged “high probability” against a customer who’s 60-days overdue isn’t actually high probability. HubSpot workflows can deprioritise these automatically.
Cross-team handoff is clean. Sales hands a closed deal to accounts with all the financial context already on the record.

Direction and master-of-truth

Pick a master per field and write it down. The pattern that works:

Company record: Accredo is master for financial fields, HubSpot is master for sales fields (lifecycle stage, owner, last activity).
Contact record: HubSpot is master.
New customers from inbound marketing: HubSpot creates the Company, then Rapido provisions a matching debtor in Accredo when the deal closes.

The wrong pattern is two systems trying to own the same field. You’ll see flapping (the value changes every sync cycle as each system overwrites the other) and you’ll lose data.

Real-time, not nightly

If your salesperson is on a call with a customer, “the credit limit was up to date as of 2am this morning” isn’t good enough. Rapido’s HubSpot connector is real-time: a balance change in Accredo, surfaced via the Web Service API, shows on the HubSpot record within seconds.

What the Rapido connector handles

Two-way sync of companies and contacts
One-way Accredo → HubSpot sync of financial fields (credit limit, balance, AR aging, last invoice/payment dates)
Custom-object representation of open invoices and recent OE orders against the Company
Marketing-form intake (e.g. demo requests) flowing back into Accredo as new prospects when they close
Workflow-friendly properties so HubSpot automations can route based on financial state

Privacy and data flow

Customer data passing through HubSpot is governed by HubSpot’s terms; Rapido is the integration layer, not a data processor in this flow. The sync runs over authenticated HTTPS to HubSpot’s API; we don’t store HubSpot data outside the sync pipeline.
