How We Help

Connecting Hotjar (analytics) with Salesforce (crm & sales) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Retail & E-commerce and Professional Services businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of heatmaps and recordings data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Hotjar uses a REST API with API key authentication, and Salesforce authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.
