HubSpot’s “Bot Filtering” does not seem to be as robust as Google Analytics’s. We use a cookie management provider that crawls our website for cookies. It does not filter out this bot.

Since the bot uses dynamic IPs, we can’t put in a static list to filter out either. A possible solution would be the ability to filter out User-Agent strings, since the crawler bot is identifiable by a User-Agent string.

Hey @ErikB ! We use our own Google Tag Manager tag to track all the needed GA data (ga\_client\_id, ga\_user\_ip, ga\_user\_agent) and inject it into the non Hubspot form hidden fields (to be still tracked by HubSpot). Thus, you only need to setup a connector to send online/offline events to GA. Btw, Zapier does it wrong and doesn’t let to send the IP at all, to send to GA a correct geo of not a server, but a user.
