Your CEO wants an integration
The deceptively simple request
You've just received an email that can't wait. The CEO is frustrated with waiting for the monthly data import from Business Central to HubSpot. They want real-time synchronisation, and they want it now.
This is your chance to prove your technical skills. No external consultants. No lengthy procurement process. Just you, your expertise, and the challenge of building a production-ready integration.

RE: Business Central to HubSpot Integration - URGENT
Hi,
I've been waiting 3 months for this integration. Our sales team is still manually entering data from Business Central into HubSpot, and it's costing us deals.
I need this live by end of quarter.
Can you build something that syncs our customers, deals, and contact data in real-time? I don't want to hear about "technical challenges" - just make it work.
This is your priority now.
Best,
James Richardson

Extract
Authentication Nightmare
Your CRM contains thousands of contacts trapped in legacy systems. Each requires secure API authentication, rate limit management, and error handling. What looks simple—pulling a contact—involves OAuth flows, API versioning, field mapping, and handling dozens of edge cases your team hasn't considered yet.

Transform
Data Chaos Zone
Welcome to the nightmare zone. Your data formats don't match—dates, phone numbers, currencies all incompatible. Field names differ. Required fields are missing. Without proper transformation logic, your 'simple' integration corrupts data, breaks workflows, and creates compliance nightmares that take months to fix.

Load
Production Minefield
The data's ready and now you need to get it into HubSpot. But Business Central has its own object for Deal Stages, and closing a deal is a multi-step process. You need to handle cross-object mappings, and seamlessly handle 'actions' rather than just imports. This is where your 6-month timeline suddenly becomes 18 months.

URGENT: Integration project needed
Team,
We're haemorrhaging time and money with our disconnected systems. Sales can't see marketing data, support is blind to customer history, and I'm making decisions based on spreadsheets from three different sources.
I need someone to connect our Business Central to HubSpot. How hard can it be?
Dave from IT says it's "just moving data between systems." Marketing found a £2,000/month tool that promises "easy integration." Finance thinks we should hire contractors.
I don't care how it gets done. I just need our 1,250,000 contacts synchronised by Q4 so we can actually see our full customer journey and stop losing deals to competitors who can respond faster than us.
Make it happen.
James
