CRM integrations you need to connect all your business software systems

Learn about integrations and how they can help your business grow by adding the necessary functionality to your existing software.

Integrations You Need: To connect all your business software systems

Those working within the non-profit sector often find that their marketing, sales and membership processes require their teams to jump from one piece of software to another - pulling data from one system and having to input it into another. 

These tasks are time consuming and mundane, stretching the time (and patience) of often already small departments. Luckily, with integrations it is possible to bring all your information and data from across multiple pieces of software into one central location. 

What are integrations?

Integrations are a complex topic to understand. So, let’s simplify the concept with the help of an analogy we can reference throughout this guide. Let’s pretend you want to plug your MacBook laptop into your TV using a connector cable so you can watch reruns of Friends on Netflix on the big screen. Integrations kind of work like this — I’ll explain more as we go.

Integrations connect your software to third-party applications so they can share information with each other. They share data from one system to the next which provides you with more features and options while using your software.

Why use integrations?

Integrations solve and simplify your need for new software as your Marketing, Sales and Membership processes grow and evolve. They allow you to keep the system you’re currently using by simply adding connections to third-party applications to enhance system functionality and provide additional features you may need but aren’t able to build within your software.

By leveraging integration connections across your systems, you can power your business to achieve a much wider range of tasks on your software as you enhance its functionality. This is especially helpful as you expand since your needs are bound to change.

Who needs integrations?

Integrations are helpful tools for virtually every business, no matter the size or industry. There are integrations suited for every type of company (startups, SMBs, and enterprise companies) with any purpose (advertising, analytics, or content).

For those working in non-profits, integrations are going to give greater insights for your staff, volunteers and donors. When systems are integrated, users are able to access more data, get a more complete view of what is happening, and work at a higher level. 

Integrations enable the people who are using these integrated systems to access data more efficiently and thus doing their job more effectively. For example, integrations which allow for real-time updates to data will allow for membership teams to have an up-to-date record of an individual member's signup journey at all times. Additionally, this provides more value for your members. 

How do you get integrations?

Integrations are almost always located in some type of marketplace, where customers can review and browse all of their options. The HubSpot Integrations & Application Marketplace is an example of this. Their marketplace allows visitors to search and learn more about the various integrations and their functions, and then connect HubSpot to their integration of choice.

Integrations via APIs

API stands for application programming interface. An API is an interface that software uses to receive information (whether that’s data, servers, applications, etc.).

All of the integrations we’re going to discuss below are built on APIs. By building integrations on APIs, you can connect your integrations to your software and use them in tandem with one another. The integration allows for the flow of information to and from apps and devices in real time — APIs allow them to talk to one another.
