CRM Integration Configuration – FAQ

This guide answers common technical and operational questions about how Vieu integrates with CRM systems like HubSpot and Salesforce.

If you're evaluating the integration from a RevOps, Admin, or technical perspective, this article explains how it works and what’s possible after setup.

For installation steps, refer to:

1. Is the Vieu CRM integration native or iframe-based?

Vieu uses a native CRM integration.

For HubSpot:

1. A Connected App is installed

2. An App Card is placed on Company and Contact records

3. The card communicates securely with Vieu via APIs


For Salesforce:

1. A managed package is installed

2. Native Lightning components are added to Account and Contact pages

This is not an iframe overlay.
The integration uses each CRM’s official app framework.

2. Does Vieu overwrite existing CRM data?

No.

• Existing CRM records are never overwritten

• Vieu follows approved field mapping rules

• New records are created only if allowed in configuration

• All updates respect your property mapping

3. How does Vieu prevent duplicate record creation?

Duplicate prevention is handled through:

• Admin-approved Property Mapping

• Unique identifiers (Email, Domain, LinkedIn URL)

• CRM-native matching logic

We strongly recommend mapping LinkedIn URL fields for both Contacts and Companies to improve matching accuracy.

4. Can customers build reports in the CRM using Vieu data?

Yes.

Once Vieu data syncs into CRM properties, you can build reports such as:

• Companies created or influenced by Vieu

• Contacts created via Vieu

• Connection status summaries

• Introduction status breakdowns

• Task completion metrics

Reporting is built using standard CRM reporting. 


5. Can CRM workflows or automations be triggered using Vieu data?

Yes. Since Vieu syncs data into CRM properties:

• Workflows can trigger based on Connection status

• Workflows can trigger based on Introduction status

• Tasks and notifications can be automated

• Deal updates can be triggered

Any CRM workflow that supports property-based triggers can use Vieu data.To understand how synced data appears to reps, see:

• Using HubSpot with Vieu as an AE
• Using Salesforce with Vieu as an AE

6. What permissions are required to install the integration?

For HubSpot:

• Super Admin access is required

• The connecting user must approve required OAuth scopes

For Salesforce:

• Salesforce Admin access is required

• The managed package must be installed

Installation is typically handled by RevOps or a CRM Admin.
Engineering involvement is not required.

7. Is the integration bi-directional?

Yes.

Vieu → CRM

• Introduction status updates sync

• Pin status updates sync

CRM → Vieu

• Pin status changes reflect instantly

• Introduction status updates reflect instantly

8. How long does sync take?

Individual sync: Typically 2–3 minutes

Bulk exports: May take longer depending on volume

Status updates usually sync in near real time.

9. Can admins control record creation?

Yes. Admins can configure:

• Whether new Contacts are created

• Whether new Companies are created

• Task creation settings

• User ownership mapping

• Property mapping rules

Nothing is created without configuration approval.
