Getting more data from your attendees has never been more important. With our built-in HubSpot integration, you can add contacts/attendees from your HubSpot account and have the data automatically appear in Accelevents.
Note: This integration is only available for Scale, Professional, Enterprise, and White Label accounts.
There are four key parts to setting up the HubSpot integration:
Configuring the Integration in Accelevents
Log in with either your organization or white label account. (can be accessed from the bottom left corner of any event page connected to an Organizer Profile)
Go to the Integrations tab and click Configure under the HubSpot logo to begin.
Once you click the Configure button, it will ask you for authentication (this is required in order to push data to your integration).
Click on New Authentication
Name the authentication and click Create.
On the next screen, choose the desired HubSpot account you wish to connect to and click Choose Account.
Choose Static List from the dropdown. A Static List creates a simple contact list in your HubSpot account where your event contacts will be saved.
If the new authorization is added successfully, click on Next. If there are any errors, feel free to refresh and try again. You will always be able to re-configure.
After you click Next, you will see a HubSpot to Accelevents Public URL or Webhook URL. Copy that URL and paste it somewhere to use later to set up a webhook. Click Finish.
After clicking Finish, go back to the Integrations tab. The button under HubSpot will turn green - click on Enable to finalize the integration.
You can always click the green button again to disable this integration. When you do, the button will turn red.
If you want to redo the process and map additional fields, click on the edit icon.
To switch HubSpot accounts or to disconnect Accelevents from your HubSpot account, click the trash icon in the upper right corner of the HubSpot tile on the integrations page within Accelevents.
Mapping Default and Custom Question Fields
By default, the attendee's Email, First Name, and Last Name are the fields that will be exported from Accelevents to HubSpot.
If you want to add new mappings beyond the defaults, go back to your admin console to Settings > Integrations > Configure Hubspot. You'll see two lists there - one for Accelevents Fields and one for HubSpot Properties. You can set what you'd like for each field with the Add a new Mapping button.
To correctly map questions from your order form to HubSpot, make sure to enable the question on both the Ticket Holder order form and the Ticket Buyer order form:
Notes:
If you add custom fields in your order form, they should also appear in the mapping. Just refresh if it doesn't show.
If you're adding the Disclaimer responses to the mapping, select any HubSpot Property that is most applicable (e.g., Membership Notes)
