What is the Hoop App Marketplace and who uses it?
The App Marketplace is a central hub for connecting your Hoop CRM to over 1,400 popular business applications. It provides access to third-party and Hoop-built integrations across various business functions.
This feature is designed for administrators, operations teams, and users in marketing, sales, and service who need their various tools to work together seamlessly. By centralizing your tools, every team works from the same, reliable customer record, eliminating manual data entry and ensuring data integrity across your entire technology stack.
What kinds of applications are available in the marketplace?
The marketplace offers a wide catalog of ready-to-use apps that span multiple business needs. Curated categories make browsing simple and efficient. This ensures you find the right tool quickly, whether you are trying to enhance existing workflows or implement new capabilities.
Available app categories include:
- Marketing, Sales, and Service
- Operations and Finance
- Collaboration and Analytics
- Email, Ads, Calling, E-commerce, and Billing
New apps are continually being added, all meeting high quality standards and backed by reviews for confidence at scale on the Hoop platform.
How does the two-way data sync keep records consistent?
The two-way data sync ensures that when customer records change in one connected tool, they automatically update everywhere else in real-time. This is critical so teams never operate based on stale or conflicting data, providing high data quality across the Hoop environment.
Key aspects of the synchronization process include:
- Real-time updates to ensure currency.
- Code-free control for easy configuration by admins.
- Field mappings to select specific properties that sync and define how conflicts are resolved.
Admins configure the sync once, and the robust integration runs reliably in the background, maintaining system integrity and providing significant operational efficiency.
How quickly can new apps be installed and used?
You can browse the catalog, select an application, and complete the installation process in minutes. The App Marketplace is designed for fast, predictable installs thanks to clear setup guides and granular permission controls.
The time to value is nearly immediate, as the primary benefit is automating data flow. Once installed and configured, which usually takes less than an hour for standard integrations, two-way data sync begins automatically. This quick setup allows your teams to immediately benefit from centralized, reliable customer data and connected workflows without delay or busywork.
What security measures protect integrated apps and data governance?
Security and governance are integral components of the App Marketplace within Hoop. The platform provides tenant-level control, ensuring administrators have complete oversight of all installed tools and data flows.
Administrators maintain comprehensive control through:
- Centralized installation permissions.
- Standardized scopes for data access.
- Full audit visibility to track changes and usage.
You can deactivate or uninstall apps centrally without compromising system integrity. This layered security approach ensures customer data remains protected and compliant with internal governance policies across all integrated systems.
Which Hoop pricing plans include access to the App Marketplace?
Access to the App Marketplace and its foundational integrations is available across multiple pricing tiers on the Hoop platform. The feature is included for users on the core, pro, and enterprise plans.
The specific integrations and advanced features available may scale with the plan. For instance, while core users can access basic sync capabilities, higher-tier plans like Pro and Enterprise often unlock more complex, enterprise-grade connectors or higher data volume limits. This ensures that businesses of any size can leverage the power of connected applications to enhance their CRM functionality and operational efficiency.
Can our team build or customize unique integrations on the platform?
Yes, the Hoop platform is extensible, allowing for custom development to meet unique workflow requirements. While the marketplace offers hundreds of vetted, ready-to-use apps, developers can extend the CRM's functionality.
The platform supports customization through:
- APIs and SDKs for building custom apps.
- Creating private integrations tailored to specific internal systems.
- Developing unique UI components.
Once built, custom apps can be distributed to internal teams or published to the wider ecosystem via Marketplace listings. This flexibility allows companies to scale the platform to perfectly match their operational needs.
What steps should an administrator take if an app stops syncing data?
If an integration experiences a syncing issue, the administrator should first consult the central app management settings within the Hoop platform. This centralized view provides audit logs and status checks for all running integrations.
Troubleshooting steps should include:
- Checking the integration's status for active error messages.
- Reviewing field mappings to ensure properties are correctly configured.
- Verifying user permissions and API scopes are still active.
If basic troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, consult the dedicated support documentation for the App Marketplace or contact the Hoop support team for further assistance. This ensures minimal downtime and rapid resolution of any data flow interruptions.
