Creating contacts in Hubspot when form is submitted on my web app

Hey,

Sorry for the noob question. But, do I need to have my developer use Hubspot API in order to have contacts that are submitted on my web app form created in Hubspot automatically.

Here is the form - https://app.financr.com.au/quick-enquiry

We tried with the tracking code but it didn’t work - did we do it wrong or is using an API the only way because it’s a custom platform we’ve built not like a wordpress site or some other web app that already has Hubspot integration.

Hello @hubspotuseraus,

It depends on the format of your form and how is sending this information to HubSpot.

Please check this following article: Use non-HubSpot forms

And confirm your form type is one of the ones supported by HubSpot, otherwise, you can use the API to send the form data to HubSpot ( more information here.).

Kindly,

Pam

Awesome thank you! One last thing… If I send form submission data to HubSpot using API will I be able to see ads attribution in Hubspot - so where each contact is coming from down to the ad and channel (e.g. Facebook or Google Ads)

Hello @hubspotuseraus

It is possible, you will need to pass the hutk parameter in the hs_context array, per Submit a form (API):

“The hutk parameter is used to associate analytics data with your contacts. Without this, page views and the original source will not be populated.”

Kindly,

Pam
