Step 2: Set up a HubSpot Form

Note
This form functions as a bridge between PathFactory and Hubspot in transferring engagement data for each visitor session from your PathFactory Instance to your Hubspot Instance. The Hubspot form you create for this purpose will never be visible to your visitors. It is blindly submitted after a visitor finishes their session to pass their session data from PathFactory to Hubspot.
  1. Label the Form with “PathFactory Webhook Visitor Session” (this webhook is required during during implementation) or “PathFactory Webhook Visitor Activity” (optional – please ask your CSM or SA to learn more)
  2. Ensure that the 'email address' field as the one and only Required Field in this form and add all the Pathfactory Fields you initially created as a property field (Refer to Step 1)

  3. Name the Webhook.

  4. For the Webhook URL, get the Form Submission URL for your HubSpot form following this guide:
    https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/forms/submit_form.

    In your form URL you will find your portal ID (the first, smaller number highlighted below), and the form id (the second, longer number highlighted below). Copy and paste those values into this URL: https://forms.hubspot.com/uploads/form/v2/portal_id/form_guid

  5. Select the webhook event type which will trigger this webhook.

  6. If you only want information sent for visitors who are known, click Fire for known visitors only.

  8. Ensure that all the mapped event fields you need are present in Event Fields.

    Note
    If you added any fields to your HubSpot form which aren’t listed under PathFactory’s Event Fields, you can add them as custom fields.

  9. Use the internal name from HubSpot for each of the form fields that you want to map to one of our Webhook PathFactory fields.

    Note
    These can be found in HubSpot under Contact Settings > Contact Properties.
