Encompass + HubSpot Integration: How Proven ROI Builds the Most Powerful Loan Officer Workflow

Why Integration Defines the Future of Mortgage Sales

In today’s mortgage industry, speed and accuracy win deals. But for most lenders, disconnected systems create friction between marketing, sales, and loan origination.

Encompass holds vital borrower and loan data. HubSpot powers your marketing, lead management, and automation. Yet when these systems don’t talk to each other, loan officers lose valuable time manually updating records, chasing leads, and reconciling reports.

At Proven ROI®, we bridge that gap. Our proprietary HubSpot ↔ Encompass Integration Framework connects marketing and origination data in real time—empowering loan officers to close faster, market smarter, and operate with complete visibility.

This post breaks down how our integration works, why it outperforms every other solution, and how it turns your fragmented systems into a unified revenue engine.

The Problem: Disconnected Systems Cost Loan Officers Time and Deals

Most lenders struggle with what we call the “data disconnect.”

1. Leads Vanish Between Marketing and Origination

Leads captured in HubSpot often never make it into Encompass. Manual exports lead to duplicates, missed updates, and delayed outreach.

2. Loan Officers Lack Visibility into Lead History

Without CRM-level insight, loan officers don’t see how prospects engaged with marketing—what emails they opened, which forms they filled, or how they found you.

3. Marketing Operates in the Dark

Once a lead enters Encompass, marketers lose visibility into what happens next. They can’t measure campaign ROI because the data never comes back.

4. Reporting Is Fragmented

Leadership wastes hours piecing together reports from two systems that don’t align—often discovering errors only after deals close.

These issues don’t just frustrate your team—they erode conversion rates, slow response times, and reduce profitability.

The Solution: Proven ROI’s Encompass ↔ HubSpot Integration

We built our integration with one mission: connect the marketing, CRM, and origination ecosystem seamlessly.

Unlike basic connectors or manual imports, Proven ROI’s integration is bi-directional, intelligent, and tailored to how loan officers actually work.

Key Features

  • Two-Way Sync: Contacts, loans, and deal statuses update instantly between Encompass and HubSpot.
  • Custom Field Mapping: We connect borrower data, property details, credit scores, and milestones across systems.
  • Automated Lifecycle Updates: HubSpot deal stages automatically change when Encompass updates a loan status (e.g., “Underwriting,” “Approved,” “Closed”).
  • Error Handling & Retry Logic: Built-in resilience ensures no data is lost or duplicated.
  • AI-Powered Insights: Enriched borrower data feeds predictive scoring and personalized outreach.
  • Compliance & Security: SOC 2, GDPR, and CCPA aligned with secure OAuth 2.0 connections.

This integration doesn’t just sync data—it creates a continuous feedback loop between your marketing and lending teams.

How It Works: Integration Architecture

At Proven ROI, we follow a six-phase architecture for every Encompass ↔ HubSpot implementation.

1. Discovery & Workflow Mapping

We identify key data points and workflows that drive your business:

  • Lead capture → application → funded deal
  • Borrower communications → automation triggers
  • Loan status → CRM deal stage
  • Marketing source attribution → closed loan reporting

We also interview loan officers to identify what data they need inside HubSpot to work efficiently.

2. Field Mapping & Data Modeling

Our engineers map every relevant Encompass field to its HubSpot counterpart, including:

  • Borrower and co-borrower details
  • Loan purpose, LTV, credit score, property address
  • Loan milestones and underwriting dates
  • Closing details, loan amount, and channel

We create custom HubSpot properties for any Encompass data points that don’t exist by default—ensuring full data parity.

3. Intelligent Sync Logic

We use webhook listeners, event triggers, and API polling to detect changes instantly.

When Encompass updates a record, the change is reflected in HubSpot (and vice versa).

Our system includes:

  • Conflict resolution logic (which system wins)
  • Error handling queues
  • Delta syncs to minimize API load
  • Audit logs for compliance and traceability

4. Loan Officer Automation Layer

This is where the magic happens.
Loan officers get real-time visibility into every borrower’s journey.

Examples:

  • Loan approved? → HubSpot workflow sends a personalized “Congratulations” email.
  • Loan stalled? → Task auto-assigned to loan officer.
  • Lead hasn’t responded in 5 days? → HubSpot triggers SMS or retargeting sequence.

Automation ensures every lead stays active—and no opportunity slips away.

5. ROI Dashboards & Analytics

Once your systems are connected, we build dashboards that surface the metrics that matter:

  • Conversion rate from lead → application → closed loan
  • Average response time by loan officer
  • Campaign ROI by channel
  • Loan volume by source

With unified data, executives can finally measure what marketing actually drives revenue.

6. Testing, Compliance & Continuous Optimization

Before launch, we test every scenario: duplicate handling, multi-borrower sync, and loan lifecycle edge cases.

Post-deployment, we monitor performance, sync health, and automation triggers for ongoing optimization.
