HubSpot Slack Integration - Track messages as Activity against Contact Record

Hey Guys

Wondering if you have anyone has evern solved the need to track Slack Messages as Activity against HubSpot Contacts?

Essentially, I want to be able to see/track contact engagement/activity beyond just email and phone calls. I want Slack messages sent to be logged as an activity.

The long term goal here is to also use this alongside the OrgChartHub integration for activity heat mapping.

I am going to gather this will be a custom build - but hoping someone else has solved this?

Hey @RHudman this isn’t possible at the moment. Slack doesn’t really have a way to track messages inside it. There’s not really an “identifier” to associate a slack user to a HubSpot contact. I would imagine even for this to happen all users would need to authorise the HubSpot app too.

It might be possible to do a user search and association through a custom integration however using something like the contacts api, but this isn’t possible out of the box.

Hi @RHudman ,

Logging slack conversations as an activity in not possible out of box with the native Slack integration.

However, you could try out a solution like Sidekick that allows you to log slack conversation as a Note to a HubSpot contact. I’m assuming you’re trying to log slack conversations that happen with prospects via a Slack connect channel where you also have prospects/external users? If that is the case, Sidekick should work well for you.

Here’s more details about this specific use case - Logging Slack Conversations as HubSpot Notes | Sidekick Manual

Hope this helps!
