This allows us to accumulate more data over time as more data syncs are made so that you can report on more historical HubSpot Marketing data in your Databox reports. Learn more here.

HubSpot Marketing data is synced in the time zone set in the HubSpot Account. For example, if your HubSpot Account time zone is set as EST, your HubSpot data will sync with Databox in EST.

Additional Information

Metric Considerations

  • "Smart List" Metrics (Basic and Custom): Data is only accessible from the date the Smart List was created and on. Data from before the Smart List was created does not exist. 
  • "Contact Conversation Rate by Source:" Comparison data is only available for the "Previous Period." "Same Period Last Year" comparisons are not supported for this Metric. 

Granularity Restrictions

Granularity refers to the level of detail present in a set of data. If granularity restrictions are present, the visualization options for Charts like Line Charts, Bar Charts, etc. may be affected. Learn more about Granularity here. 

  • "Became a [lifecycle stage]" Metrics (Became a Lead, Became a MQL, etc.): Only total Metric values are accessed from HubSpot. Therefore, daily granularity is not available for these Metrics.
  • "by Landing Page" Metrics (Submissions by Landing Page, Pageviews by Landing Page, etc.): Only total Metric values are accessed from HubSpot. Therefore, daily granularity is not available for these Metrics.

API Limitations

  • Only the first 1000 Smart Lists from your HubSpot Marketing Account are accessible via the API
  • When Contact Lifecycle Stages are updated in HubSpot, it may take up to 24 hours for the change to be reflected in HubSpot's API and in Databox
