πŸ“Œ This will generate referral links for all of your customers in Hubspot, these customers will NOT be notified. After your sync is complete, the customers you sync’d will each have a referral link inside their customer record in Hubspot.

 

Before you configure the sync between Referral Factory and HubSpot, you will need to create a custom property in HubSpot to store each contact's Referral Link. You may also want to create properties to store each referrer's performance metrics, i.e. the number of people they have referred and the number of those referrals that have been successful.
