Question: A customer wants to help their sales team generate new deals through email, which is their primary form of communication with potential customers. They’re evaluating whether they should build a custom solution. What’s the first question you should answer to help them determine next steps?
- What problem is this integration aiming to solve?
- What type of integration will you need to build?
- What part of the HubSpot platform are you trying to integrate with?
- What tier of HubSpot accounts does your user or company currently have?
Explanation
The starting point is to define the business need before choosing any technical path. In Amazon Ads workflows, an integration should be mapped to the advertiser action it supports, such as reporting, campaign management, or access to Amazon Ads API resources. Defining the problem prevents building against the wrong feature, permission model, or account structure. Once the use case is clear, the next step is deciding which integration model and authorization flow fits that need. Technical requirements should follow the problem definition, not replace it.
Why the other options are incorrect
Integration type This comes after the business problem is clearly defined.
Platform area This is useful for solution design, but it is not the first discovery step.
Account tier This may affect access, but it does not clarify the problem the integration must solve.
