Integration Logic

  • HubSpot WordPress Plugin

    The integration is established by installing the official HubSpot plugin on a WordPress website. The user then authenticates their HubSpot account from the WordPress admin dashboard using OAuth. Once connected, the plugin injects the HubSpot tracking code across the entire site. This enables the embedding of HubSpot assets (like forms, pop-ups, and live chat) using WordPress blocks or shortcodes. When a visitor interacts with these assets (e.g., submits a form), the data is sent directly to the HubSpot API, which creates or updates contact records in the CRM. The integration also syncs user data for logged-in WordPress users and tracks page views on contact timelines in HubSpot.
