How does Billforward x HubSpot work?

Billforward x HubSpot integration is available in “Contacts” and “Deals” views inside HubSpot.

By default, you will find that the card with Billforward integration will be on the very bottom of your card list on your right-hand side. If you would like to see the Billforward subscription management options on the very top, simply drag the card to the top of the screen. Please note that you will have to do it twice- once for the “Contacts” screen and once for “Deals” screen. From there on, Billforward card will remain at top of the screen where you have placed it.

Metadata on an Account or Subscription in Billforward in the form hubspot.custom.x=y will have the x=y part set on the Contact or Deal in HubSpot.
