Sync LinkedIn contacts from LinkedNav into HubSpot

What syncs from LinkedNav to HubSpot

The HubSpot integration is built around a single goal: keep the CRM record close enough to the LinkedIn prospecting work that a salesperson opening HubSpot can immediately see the relevant LinkedIn context. That means pushing more than just a name and email; it means preserving the source URL, the title at the time of capture, and any notes the rep added during outreach.

• First name, last name, and job title from the LinkedIn profile
• Company name and location as captured at the time of import
• Verified email address from enrichment, when available
• LinkedIn profile URL stored on the HubSpot contact record
• Notes and lead context added during outreach in LinkedNav

Choosing a HubSpot Private App scope

A Private App token is the right authentication path for a contact-sync integration because it can be scoped narrowly and rotated independently from a user account. The scopes the LinkedNav integration needs are limited to the operations it performs: reading existing contacts to avoid duplicates and writing the new ones the team has captured.

A common mistake is to over-scope the token, granting access to deals, companies, and tickets when the integration only needs contacts. Keep the scope narrow at first and add new scopes only when a specific integration feature requires them.
