Understanding the Benefits of HubSpot Slack Integration
The HubSpot Slack integration provides many features which can benefit your business. Below are some of the ways on how you can use the HubSpot Slack integration:
HubSpot Slack Integration Benefits: Adding HubSpot Tasks to Slack
The integration will make it easy for you to create a task from any Slack message. The created task can then be associated with a company, contact, or deal in HubSpot directly via Slack. This will help you save time, effort, and avoid forgetting to complete certain tasks.
HubSpot Slack Integration Benefits: Receive HubSpot Notifications in Slack
After the integration, you will be able to receive your HubSpot notifications as Slack messages. HubSpot normally sends notifications via email, making it easy for them to get lost. The integration will save you from this. It will also help you to integrate with your leads quickly. The notifications are normally about when a prospect fills a form when you are assigned a new contact when you are assigned a new deal and more.
HubSpot Slack Integration Benefits: Gather HubSpot Information Using Slack Commands
The integration will allow you to use Slack to find information that is stored in your HubSpot account. This will save you from having to search through many HubSpot files. You can search for this information using slash commands.
HubSpot Slack Integration Benefits: Improve Conversational Marketing
Conversational marketing is very important today. Most people are turning into live chats and chatbots to get answers to their questions. A merger between the Slack and HubSpot conversations tool will improve your conversational marketing strategy. HubSpot is a great conversational marketing platform, and integration with Slack will make it even better.

Introduction to Slack
Slack is a messaging tool for businesses. It connects individuals to the information that they need. Slack brings people together to work as one team, transforming the way organizations communicate.
Slack sends instant messages and it comes with many add-ins for other workplace tools. However, the add-ins are not a must for you to use Slack because its main function is to facilitate communication between people. It has two methods of chat, namely channels (the group chats) and direct message (DM).
Slack channels can be public or private. When a chat is public, any member can see and join it, but when it is private, only the members of the chat can see and invite others to the chat.
