How to Use the HubSpot Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sync Card

The HubSpot Microsoft Dynamics 365 sync card gives your team at-a-glance visibility into how records move between systems, so you can quickly confirm sync status, troubleshoot errors, and understand what data is being shared.

This guide explains where to find the sync card on HubSpot records, what each section means, and how to act on sync issues without leaving your CRM screens.

What the HubSpot Sync Card Does

The HubSpot Microsoft Dynamics 365 sync card appears directly on supported records so you can:

• Check whether a record is actively syncing.
• See the last time a sync ran.
• Jump to the matching record in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
• Review sync-related activity over time.
• Identify and resolve sync errors.

The card surfaces the most important integration details in one place, which reduces the need to switch tabs or manually search for records across platforms.

Where the HubSpot Sync Card Appears

When the Microsoft Dynamics 365 data sync is installed and active, you’ll see the sync card in the right sidebar of certain records inside HubSpot.

HubSpot contacts with Dynamics 365 sync

Open any individual contact record. If the integration recognizes a linked record, the Microsoft Dynamics 365 sync card will show:

• The current sync status.
• The name of the connected contact in Dynamics 365.
• A link to open that contact in Dynamics 365.
• A timeline of recent sync events.

This makes it easy for sales and service teams to confirm that contact details remain aligned between both systems.

HubSpot companies with Dynamics 365 sync

On a company record, the HubSpot sync card provides similar detail for the related account in Dynamics 365, so account owners can:

• Confirm which Dynamics 365 account is linked.
• Track when account data was last synced.
• Open the Microsoft Dynamics 365 account record directly from the card.

This helps keep account-based data aligned across your tech stack.

HubSpot deals or other synced objects

Depending on integration configuration, additional objects such as deals or custom entities may also display a sync card. The layout mirrors the contact and company experience, with object-specific labels and links.

How to Read the HubSpot Sync Card

The card is structured into clear sections so you can quickly understand sync behavior.

1. Sync status section

At the top of the card, you’ll see a status indicator that may include:

• Syncing: The record is currently configured to sync with Microsoft Dynamics 365.
• Not syncing: The record is not currently syncing, often due to settings, filters, or previous manual decisions.
• Sync error: There is one or more issues that prevent successful sync.

This high-level status helps prioritize which records need attention.

2. Linked Microsoft Dynamics 365 record

Below the status, the card shows the connected record in Microsoft Dynamics 365. You can typically see:

• The name or primary identifier of the record.
• A link that opens the record directly in the Microsoft Dynamics 365 interface.

Using this link, admins and owners can verify field values or make updates in Dynamics 365 while keeping the HubSpot record open in another tab.

3. Sync activity timeline

A running timeline summarizes what the integration has done with this record over time. Examples include:

• Record created or first synced between the platforms.
• Field updates pulled from Dynamics 365 into HubSpot.
• Field updates pushed from HubSpot into Dynamics 365.
• Times when sync was paused, resumed, or reconfigured for this record.

This activity view is particularly useful for auditing changes and confirming that updates were delivered as expected.

4. Error and warning messages

If the sync encounters an issue, the card displays error descriptions so you know what went wrong. Typical messages may point to:

• Missing required fields in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
• Field mapping conflicts between the systems.
• Validation rules that block updates.
• Deleted or archived records on one side of the integration.

Use these details to guide troubleshooting steps and, when needed, adjust mappings or record data.

How to Use the HubSpot Sync Card for Troubleshooting

When you notice that data is not appearing as expected between platforms, the sync card is usually the fastest place to start your investigation.

Step-by-step troubleshooting with the HubSpot sync card

1. Open the relevant record: Go to the contact, company, or deal in HubSpot where you see a data discrepancy.
2. Review top-level status: Check if the card indicates syncing, not syncing, or an error state.
3. Inspect the latest activity: Look at the last successful sync event and which direction the data flowed.
4. Read the error details: If present, expand or read the error message and note any fields or rules it references.
5. Jump to Microsoft Dynamics 365: Use the link in the card to open the matching record in the external system and confirm its current values.
6. Correct data or mappings: Update the record or coordinate with your CRM admin to adjust field mapping rules based on the error message.
7. Trigger or wait for another sync: After corrections, allow the automatic sync to run again or use any available manual sync options defined in your integration settings.

Following this process ensures you always start with the exact context the integration used when it attempted to sync.

Best Practices for Managing the HubSpot Sync Card

To get maximum value from the sync card, align your internal processes around what it shows your users.

• Define ownership: Decide which team (operations, RevOps, or IT) is responsible for investigating and resolving recurring errors visible on the card.
• Train end users: Show sales, marketing, and support teams where to find the card on key HubSpot objects so they can self-serve basic sync checks.
• Monitor patterns: If you notice repeated errors across many records, update your integration mapping or rules instead of fixing one record at a time.
• Leverage field visibility: Compare field values side by side between systems using the link from the card to spot mismatches quickly.
