Hi hotgluers!
Welcome to our monthly hotglue melt - we have got some awesome updates to share!
Product Updates 🚀
Real-time Job Triggers ⚡
We have officially launched support for real-time triggers for several integrations, including: Salesforce, HubSpot, and Shopify. Triggers allow you to automatically run sync jobs when something happens in a source system. For example, as soon as a new contact is created in HubSpot or Salesforce, hotglue will receive a webhook on your behalf, and trigger a job.
We are rapidly expanding support based on demand – let us know if there are any you are interested in!
Mapping in the Widget 🔌
We have added support for allowing tenants to do simple mappings of their data in the widget. This works for both source flows, where you want tenants to map to your own data schema (for example, a tenant could map a custom Salesforce object to your Contact schema), and for target flows, where you want tenants to map their data in your product to a target.
To learn more or try this beta feature, reach out to us at hello@hotglue.xyz. Public documentation is coming soon!
Detailed Job Metrics 📊
While sync jobs run, hotglue will automatically track the number of records collected for every stream in real time. This allows you to have more visibility into a particular sync and its progress! This data is also made available via the API. See a sample below:
New integrations ⚙️
In September, our integrations team added new taps for FTP, MooSend, PostHog, MySQL, Jotform, and Sellsy. Additionally, we added new unified schema targets for MooSend, WooCommerce, ActiveCampaign, Sage Intacct, and Dynamics 365 Business Central.
We also released improvements to the following connectors:
Taps: HubSpot, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 Business Central, QuickBooks
Targets: BigQuery, NetSuite

Outside of our awesome redesign, the team made several improvements including:
-
