Q2: How does the syncing work to MS Teams?
A2: The syncing engine is in your Azure environment and we install, deploy, and configure it for you. SoHo sets this up for you.
We will discuss this with you prior to the installation.
Q3: So the sync engine is run in your Azure environment. What is that?
A3: Azure is Microsoft's cloud offering. It's part of your M365 subscription. You may need to activate this before we install anything.
Q4: Are there additional costs associated with the sync engine?
A4: There are:
1. Subscription costs (Recurly- Our payment subscription service).
2. Azure subscription hosting costs.
Q5: Per month, how much do the Azure subscriptions cost in total?
A5: In this example, if there if 20-30 deals that have notes being synced, every 30 minutes, from the hours of 8 am - 9 pm, this shouldn't cost more than $10-$15 per month.
We can change the syncing times according to your needs.
The subscription is monthly and you can cancel at any time.
Q6: Can HubSpot notes sync to multiple M365 tenants?
A6: No.
Q7: Can I install the sync engine myself, without the SoHo team?
A7: No. We like to make sure that everything is set up correctly and that you are ready to go. That means we will need access to your M365 Azure and HubSpot environments. See Installation.
Q8: Can I try it before I buy it?
A8: Of course. We have a 30-day trial on the subscription, but the installation fee is nonrefundable.
