The connection between your CRM and is easy to set up. The initial setup is done by the Vainu account admin user, who also has admin-level rights in the CRM.
Connection requirements
To set up the connection between Vainu and your CRM, you need to have
- the integration included in your Vainu contract (with the exception of the Vainu Similar Companies feature for HubSpot users)
and - the correct version and permissions in your CRM – you can find the requirements for each CRM below:
| CRM | Version | Permissions | Additional information |
| Dynamics | Dynamics 365 Sales (Cloud). Integration is not suitable for on-premise versions. | Permission to add data to Dynamics. Read-only rights are not enough. | |
| HubSpot |
All plans |
Permission to Edit Property Settings in HubSpot while connecting the integration |
Make sure you are assigned to a Team, and you have access to HubSpot Sales Hub. How to create & Edit Teams in HubSpot. See the picture below for a detailed list of rights that HubSpot will grant Vainu when connecting the integration (click to enlarge).
|
| Pipedrive | Any | Required permissions: Use API, Add products, Edit products, Import items |
There is currently a technical limitation on Pipedrive API, which doesn't allow letters äöå to be transferred through the API. This also affects the login process on Pipedrive integration. So if you have äåö letters on your password, you cannot login. ❗️ |
| Salesforce | Salesforce Editions with API Access | Permission to add data to Salesforce (read-only rights are not enough) Access to Salesforce REST API |

Vainu Similar Companies
Similar Companies is a brand-new dataset that shows similar companies to the chosen company. Vainu Similar Companies are based on Vainu Custom Industries, and it is using website text embeddings to calculate a distance score that we convert into a similarity score. Using Similar Companies data does not require an active Vainu subscription for HubSpot users.
