Challenge
Zippily’s client had a detailed vision for how their systems should connect. They needed HubSpot integrated with PandaDoc for quoting and Abtrac for project management but lacked the internal expertise to implement a custom API solution.
Results
By partnering through Profoundly, Zippily delivered a working HubSpot–Abtrac integration that automatically creates projects when deals close in HubSpot, syncing contact and job data seamlessly across platforms. The project was completed efficiently, with strong client feedback and reusable IP for Zippily.

Background
Zippily, a HubSpot Solutions Partner based in Auckland, New Zealand, helps businesses modernize their systems and processes through HubSpot. When a client in the engineering sector approached them with a fully mapped ecosystem for HubSpot, PandaDoc, and Abtrac, Zippily was eager to deliver the solution—but needed an experienced technical partner to ensure a reliable, secure integration.
Without access to a trusted HubSpot-certified contractor, the project carried risk. Zippily turned to Profoundly to source a vetted integration specialist capable of delivering end-to-end execution.

The Solution
The joint team built a custom HubSpot → Abtrac integration with PandaDoc as the quoting layer:
-
When a deal closes in HubSpot, it automatically triggers job creation in Abtrac.
-
All related contact and project information syncs between systems, preserving context and accuracy.
-
The integration is robust, reusable, and forms part of Zippily’s growing IP library for future client implementations.
Zippily managed client communication and onboarding, while Khristian handled the API build, testing, and optimization.
