The situation
Whalesync’s HubSpot connector is retired. Teams need somewhere to land.
Whalesync now lists HubSpot under previous connectors, a category for connectors it supported in the past but no longer offers. Teams planning new Airtable and HubSpot workflows need a supported replacement path.
Impora is building two-way Airtable HubSpot sync as a new channel on top of its existing Airtable import and connector engine. The product overlaps with what Whalesync users cared about, with a stronger emphasis on validation, association-aware mapping, conflict review, and recovery.
What you need from a replacement
The things any serious replacement has to handle.
- ✓Linked-record and HubSpot association sync that survives renames and re-mappings.
- ✓A conflict path that pauses on disagreement instead of overwriting silently.
- ✓Validation before every write, not just at setup.
- ✓Recovery from failed rows, with a downloadable error report.
- ✓Transparent Sync pricing with a Business-customer founder path before launch.

How it maps
If you did this in Whalesync, here’s how it works in Impora.
In Whalesync
Two-way Airtable HubSpot table mirror
In Impora

Impora conflict queue: paused records reviewed before either side is overwritten.
Migration considerations
What to plan for when you switch.
Existing Whalesync mapping configs do not import directly. The mapping has to be recreated, which usually takes 30 to 60 minutes per base for a moderately complex schema. The schema-aware import engine surfaces required fields, select options, and linked-record targets automatically, so the recreation is mostly confirmation rather than authoring from scratch.
Plan to run the initial sync in preview mode first. Impora shows every record it would create, update, or hold for review before any write happens. For Whalesync users who are used to mirrors that just ran, this extra preview step is the biggest workflow change.
Pricing tiers are different. HubSpot Sync launches at $249/mo. Business customers before launch qualify directly for $149/mo Sync pricing, locked for as long as the subscription stays active. Pro customers can qualify for that same founder price by upgrading to Business before launch. Free waitlist signup does not lock pricing.
