# Detect partners from your CRM
> Understand how Introw builds and syncs your partner list from CRM records, and where to run the connect-and-detect setup to keep it current.
## What you'll achieve
A clear picture of how partner detection works: which CRM object Introw treats as a partner, which records actually count, and how new matches keep flowing in without manual imports. With detection set up, your partners list stays current as a by-product of your CRM, not a chore.
## Before you start
You need access to integration settings, and a CRM (HubSpot or Salesforce) you can authorize.
## Watch it
## How detection works
Introw builds your partner list from three answers, given across the two setup steps, **Import partners** and **Attribute objects**:
* **How partners are stored** (**Import partners**, **Partner object**) - the CRM object that represents a partner, such as Company, Account, or a custom Partner object. This tells Introw where to look.
* **Which records count** (**Import partners**, **When...**) - the conditions (CRM properties plus manual selection) that narrow that object down to the records that are really partners. Only matching records become partners in Introw.
* **What attributes to them** (**Attribute objects**) - the linked objects (such as deals or contacts) that should appear on each partner record, so their pipeline and people show up automatically.
Once detection covers your full set of partners, you can turn on automatic sync so any new CRM record that matches your filters becomes a partner in Introw on its own. From then on the list stays current without anyone re-running an import.
Detection brings the people too, not just the account. Each partner's CRM account owner is suggested as a team member you accept with one click and set as the partner's manager (shown as **Requested** under **Settings, Team**), and the contacts associated with the partner's company are imported under the partner's **People**, ready to be given portal access. All of this runs from the CRM sync, with no SSO required. For the full picture of how people and access flow from the CRM, see [Provisioning](/features/access/provisioning).
## Run the setup
The connect-and-detect setup is the same setup page used to connect your CRM, so it lives with the CRM integration rather than being duplicated here. Open [Settings, then Integrations](https://app.introw.io/settings/integrations) and follow the connect guide for your CRM, then choose how partners are stored and which records sync.
## Verify it worked
Open [Partners](https://app.introw.io/partners). Your detected partners appear in the list, each linked to its CRM record, with linked deals visible on the partner detail page. A newly qualifying CRM record appears without you importing it once automatic sync is on.
