General expectations of the HubSpot-Salesforce integration
Expect to switch back and forth between these instructions and Salesforce for part of the integration setup and installation process.
There is a limit to the number of API calls used by the integration per day. A single contact sync can take up to four API calls per record, but this number can vary.
To connect multiple HubSpot accounts to one Salesforce instance, you must set up and install the integration in each HubSpot account.
HubSpot will only work with one Salesforce instance. 

Step 1: Install Salesforce integration.

Log in to your HubSpot account from the setting menu, click on integrations, and then click on the "Visit App Marketplace" button. 

Search for Salesforce and install the app.

In the pop-up window, enter your Salesforce credentials and click Log In. After logging in, you'll be redirected back to the connector wizard in HubSpot.
Next, install HubSpot in Salesforce. Click Start the Salesforce package installation to begin.

Step 2: Connect to Salesforce

The connector wizard will open. Select yes if you're connecting HubSpot to a Salesforce sandbox; this will connect to a sandbox checkbox. Click Log in to Salesforce.
