Frequently asked questions

How do I connect HubSpot to Intercom?
Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both HubSpot and Intercom via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing crm events to communication actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between HubSpot and Intercom?
Popular automations include: post HubSpot deal-won celebrations to Intercom, alert Intercom when HubSpot deals stall, notify Intercom channels on new HubSpot lead assignments, and share weekly HubSpot pipeline summaries in Intercom. Filters let you target specific deal stages or values.
Is the HubSpot and Intercom integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your HubSpot-to-Intercom workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my HubSpot data secure when connected to Intercom?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your HubSpot or Intercom passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your crm data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between HubSpot and Intercom?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either HubSpot or Intercom. For example, create a workflow where HubSpot events update Intercom, and a separate one where Intercom changes sync back to HubSpot. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect HubSpot and Intercom?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use HubSpot and Intercom, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
