WHY THIS REQUIRES A HUMAN

HubSpot portal access, private app creation, and DNS verification require founder authentication.

A HubSpot portal can only be claimed and configured by an authenticated super-admin. Private app tokens are issued inside the portal and scoped manually. Email domain authentication requires DNS records on clearglassinc.com that only the domain owner can publish.

HANDOFF SEQUENCE

Six steps to a live CRM of record.

Claim or sign in to the ClearGlass HubSpot portal

Sign in with the corporate email under the ClearGlass domain and enable two-factor authentication. Confirm the portal account name and currency (CAD).

OWNER · FOUNDER · SUPER ADMIN

Authenticate the sending domain

Add the DKIM, SPF, and return-path CNAME records published by HubSpot to the clearglassinc.com DNS zone. Confirm authentication is green before any sequence sends.

OWNER · FOUNDER · DOMAIN ADMIN

Create a private app token

Settings → Integrations → Private Apps. Name the app clearglass-revenue-engine. Grant the minimum scopes:

  • crm.objects.contacts: read + write
  • crm.objects.companies: read + write
  • crm.objects.deals: read + write
  • tickets: read + write
  • conversations.read

Copy the access token immediately — it is shown once.

Map deal pipeline to the onboarding pipeline

Mirror the five-stage pipeline already defined in client onboarding: Qualified → Contract → Payment → Activation → Review. Add forecast probabilities and exit criteria to each stage.

OWNER · FOUNDER

Define lifecycle stages

Lead → MQL → SQL → Opportunity → Customer → Evangelist. Map the inbound subscribe form on the homepage to create contacts at lifecycle stage Lead.

OWNER · FOUNDER → MARKETING

Connect to Stripe and the website

Install the Stripe + HubSpot integration once the Stripe handoff is complete. Embed the HubSpot tracking script and form into the homepage subscribe card. Mark this handoff complete on the procurement readiness hub.

OWNER · FOUNDER → DELIVERY LEAD
CONTROL RULE

No portal, no outbound.

No outbound email, sequence, or campaign is sent from any tool other than the authenticated ClearGlass HubSpot portal. Personal email accounts and unverified domains never send on behalf of ClearGlass Inc.
