FluentFlow for HubSpot
This integration creates a high-conversion lead capture funnel on WordPress. WP Rocket and Perfmatters work together to optimize the website's front-end performance, ensuring fast load times for pages containing lead capture forms, which minimizes bounce rates. A visitor fills out a form built with Fluent Forms. Upon submission, a trigger within Fluent Forms sends the captured data (e.g., name, email, company, and custom field values) directly to the HubSpot API. This action creates a new contact in HubSpot CRM or updates an existing one if the email address already exists. The contact can be automatically added to a specific HubSpot list and enrolled in marketing workflows, enabling immediate and automated lead nurturing.
