Why the Technical Side Matters
When mortgage companies hear “API integration,” it can sound intimidating. But behind the buzzword is a structured process designed to make Encompass® and HubSpot® work together seamlessly.
Understanding the technical process not only helps IT teams implement integrations more effectively, but it also gives executives confidence that borrower data will remain secure, compliant, and reliable.
At Proven ROI®, we specialize in delivering Encompass–HubSpot integrations through our EncompassSync™ solution. Here’s what the process really looks like, step by step.
Step 1: Authentication and Security
The first step in any integration is making sure both systems can communicate securely.
- Encompass API Access requires credentials from the Encompass developer portal or administrator.
- HubSpot API Authentication can use either API keys or OAuth 2.0, depending on setup.
- Encryption ensures borrower data is never exposed during transfers.
- Role-Based Access Control ensures only authorized users can manage integration data.
This foundation is critical for compliance and security.
Step 2: Establishing API Endpoints
APIs communicate through endpoints, which define where and how data flows. Examples include:
- Contacts endpoint (HubSpot) for borrower details
- Deals endpoint (HubSpot) for loan pipelines
- Loan milestones endpoint (Encompass) for application, underwriting, and close stages
By setting endpoints correctly, you define what data gets shared and how often.
Step 3: Data Mapping
Data mapping ensures that information in Encompass matches fields in HubSpot. Common mappings include:
- Borrower Name → HubSpot Contact Name
- Loan Type → HubSpot Custom Property
- Loan Stage → HubSpot Deal Pipeline Stage
- Assigned Loan Officer → HubSpot Owner Field
This alignment prevents duplication and ensures both systems “speak the same language.”
Step 4: Sync Configuration
Not all data should sync all the time. That’s where sync configuration comes in.
- One-Way Sync: Data flows from Encompass into HubSpot, but not back.
- Two-Way Sync (Bidirectional): Data flows in both directions for complete alignment.
- Scheduled Sync vs. Real-Time Sync: Depending on business needs, syncing can happen instantly or on a timed basis.
At Proven ROI®, we typically configure bidirectional, real-time syncing for maximum efficiency.
Step 5: Workflow Setup
Once data flows correctly, workflows bring automation to life. Examples include:
- Sending automated HubSpot texts to borrowers when an application hits underwriting.
- Triggering a “lost lead” campaign if a loan is denied in Encompass.
- Notifying loan officers when an application sits idle for too long.
This ensures your integration doesn’t just move data — it powers smarter processes.
Step 6: Dashboard and Reporting Build-Out
With connected data, HubSpot dashboards can now display:
- Loan pipeline volume by campaign source
- Conversion rates by loan officer
- Average application-to-close times
- ROI by marketing channel
Executives finally get end-to-end reporting that ties marketing to revenue.
Step 7: Testing and Validation
Before launch, integrations must be tested thoroughly:
- Confirming field accuracy (no duplicates, no missing data)
- Testing workflows in sandbox environments
- Ensuring compliance and audit readiness
This step protects both borrower trust and business efficiency.
Step 8: Deployment and Optimization
After testing, the integration goes live. But the process doesn’t end there — optimization ensures the system evolves as business needs change.
