- An account with LightSpeed VT

- A Hubspot account
Once that is complete, Click the ‘Make a Zap!” button to get started.
To send data from Hubspot to LightSpeed, Hubspot will be the trigger.

Press ‘Save + Continue’
Hubspot will now pull in sample data for testing, be sure you have at least one contact in Hubspot and press the ‘Fetch & Continue’ button.

Be sure to set up the Access Level, Location, and Content Role fields to ensure the user can log in and see your content.
