Which marketing brings in paying customers?
Every ad platform takes credit for the same customer. Google, Meta and your email tool can each claim one booking, and they cannot all be right. You need one count you can trust.

How HubSpot and Slack records line up
HubSpot and Slack share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in HubSpot contacts can be read against what Slack recorded in the same hours.
What revenue attribution uses from each
Revenue attribution needs a way to connect a touchpoint to a payment.
From HubSpot that means closed-won deal amounts and each contact's original source. From Slack it means launch announcements in the channels you connect.
These two tools hold no shared customer identifier, so per-customer answers need a third connected tool that each side can match, such as GA4 or your CRM. Daily totals work with these two alone.
Slack is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
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.
Slack on its own
Slack records what the team said about the business and when. Sales, traffic and spend live in other tools.
Timing. Slack timestamps every message, which makes it a record of when the team noticed and decided things.
Access. A Slack app installed to the channels you choose.
