Create a PSOhub project from a contact in HubSpot

In order to create a PSOhub project from a contact in HubSpot, scroll down to the PSOhub section of the right panel of the contact and click Create Project.

  • Note that you must have defined a company for this contact.
    โ€‹

  • IMPORTANT NOTE: There must be NO coma or apostrophe characters in the name of the contact or the company. This may prevent the invoice from going through to your financial software if you are leveraging the integration of PSOhub with your financial software.

  • A message that your project was successfully created will appear and the PSOhub section will display a link to the project in PSOhub.

  • Note, that this section will always display the latest five projects related to this contact (whether it came from a deal in HubSpot or directly from the contact).

  • It will always display the latest project of the five at the very top of the list.

Click the link.

  • If you are already logged in PSOhub, the link will bring you directly to the project.

  • If not, the link will bring you to the login page of PSOhub, once logged in simply navigate to Projects where you will see it and will be able to click on it to open it.

Your project is now created!

The left panel is where you will find the general information and parameters of your project such as:

  • how detailed you want your invoices to be or if you want your smart invoices to be generated first as a draft or sent directly to the client.

  • where to define the project manager of this project so he/she can view it in the dashboards and project's list.

You can modify the information on the left-hand side by clicking on the ellipsis button and selecting Edit.

  • Since this project comes from a contact in HubSpot, it has automatically inherited the name of company as part of the project's name. In this case no amount is defined in the Deal amount but you can modify this should you want to.

The right panel will show you and give you access to the different records related to this project; e.g. company, contacts, hours, documents, etc.

  • You will notice that the contact as well as the company have followed into PSOhub. Note that PSOhub will also bring over all the contacts in HubSpot related to that company.

The middle panel is the heart of your project. This is where you will:

  • Define your contract (via a template)

  • Define your budget (optional)

  • Set up your tasks and planning (optional)

  • Attach files directly into your project.

Note: If you want more space to view the middle panel you can collapse the right panel by clicking the right arrow at the top of the panel, and expand the panel again by clicking the arrow again. The same principle will apply if you want to collapse the left panel.

The last step in the creation of your project is to set it up as Active. When a project is created it is automatically set to the stage Proposal. This will prevent anyone from booking time and expenses towards the project (it will not be visible in the timesheet and expense entry screen) as well as invoicing, thus giving you time to finalize it.

To change the status simply select Active.

Your project is now Active! You can go ahead with time and expense entry as well as invoicing your fixed fees.

One final note regarding the middle panel: as the project unfolds it will show activities relating to the project in a chronological order, with the latest activity at the top.

Your next step now is to start booking time and expenses!
