Form Template (HubSpot Integration)
Automate contact creation and updates in HubSpot using Zapier's powerful form builder
Overview
HubSpot’s platform unites marketing, sales, and service teams. It’s intuitive for first-timers, and it has well-integrated AI features—like generative AI, predictive analytics, and smart suggestions. One way to squeeze even more power from HubSpot is to connect it to Zapier to streamline the way you import contacts.
It’s easy to do: Just grab this template, which comes with a user-friendly, customizable form for smarter contact management. Every time a form submission comes through, Zapier automatically zips that contact info to HubSpot, or updates an existing contact.
Zapier products the template uses
- Interfaces — an automated form, page, and app builder for collecting data
- Tables — databases that let you track and automate your data
- Zaps — automated workflows
- Canvas — a diagramming tool that helps you visualize your workflows
How this form template works
This template improves your contact management process, helping you simplify the way you work within HubSpot.
Here's how the magic happens:
- A new contact submits their information through a form.
- The submitted data gets stored in a table.
- …which triggers a Zap to process the new information.
- The Zap checks if the contact already exists in HubSpot, using the email address as a unique identifier.
- If the contact doesn't exist, a new entry gets created in HubSpot with all the provided info.
- If the contact already exists, their information gets updated with the new data.
- The entire workflow is visually represented in Canvas, making it easy for you to modify if needed.
The template can capture a wide range of contact details, including:
- Email address (used as the unique identifier)
- First and last name
- Phone number
- Company name
- Job title
- Website URL
- Lead status
- Source of the contact
- Lifecycle stage
- Complete address information
To set up this template:
- Connect your HubSpot account to Zapier.
- Customize the form fields to match your specific needs.
- Set up the table to store submitted data.
- Configure the Zap to check for existing contacts and create or update them accordingly.
