Industry overview

Company Overview

Knapsack is a SaaS startup based in Oregon. Our client offers robust tools that enable design and engineering teams to collaborate seamlessly within a single workspace, expediting product development.

About the project

Challenges

  • Our client has limited experience with low-code tools like HubSpot and Retool.
  • Future application must be secured due to KnapSack's adherence to SOC2 compliance.
  • There was no data connection between Retool and Hubspot, and users' data from Hubspot should be manually added to the Retool dashboards each time.

Requirements

  • Integrate Retool with HubSpot, QuickMail, and Clay.com to synchronize and populate data on the platform.
  • Develop a user-friendly interface in Retool with parent rows for companies and tabs for contacts, deals, and other activities.
  • Enable advanced filtering and sorting capabilities for data like company name, industry, and last contact date.
  • Implement notifications and bi-directional syncing with HubSpot to alert team members and update real-time records.

Key Deliverables

  • Retool integration with HubSpot, QuickMail, and Clay.com to aggregate and display account and contact activity. Retool dashboards should include functionality for sorting, filtering, and viewing detailed records of companies, contacts, and deals.
  • The new app should provide real-time notifications and customizable Retool reports based on specific metrics such as contact frequency, deal status, and industry-specific data. Retool app should also support bidirectional data synchronization with HubSpot to ensure data accuracy and timeliness.
