HubSpot and GitHub share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in HubSpot contacts can be read against what GitHub recorded in the same hours.
What root cause analysis uses from each
Root cause analysis needs timestamps precise enough to put events in order.
From HubSpot that means deal stage history and time spent in each stage. From GitHub it means the commit and deploy closest to when a metric moved.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
HubSpot on its own
HubSpot sees the contact and the deal. It cannot see money collected outside it, or ad spend on platforms it is not connected to.
Timing. HubSpot updates contact and deal properties as they change, and keeps the original source and first page seen on each contact.
Access. A HubSpot private app or OAuth connection with read-only CRM scopes.
GitHub on its own
GitHub knows what code changed and when. It cannot tell you whether that change cost you leads or sales.
Timing. GitHub timestamps every commit, merge and deployment to the second.
Access. A GitHub App or token with read access to the repositories you choose.
