So, sounds like a couple things are going on.
-1- Fred needs to create contacts in HubSpot and assign to others (as needed)
-2- We’re trying to use a public-facing form to accommodate the process, but public-facing forms won’t allow Contact Owner assignment. (by design)
Ok, we can spend lots of time using HubSpot drunken monkey kung fu to wrangle HubSpot into doing this thing it wasn’t designed to do.
OR
We can simply set HubSpot to ask for the fields Fred needs when creating a new contact from within the CRM screen and call it a day. (recommended for too many reasons to list here)
Here’s how to set HubSpot Contact Creation Properties. These are the properties HubSpot asks for when creating new contacts in the CRM -- see https://youtu.be/X0jO-7kPTBc
You’ll notice at the end of that 60 second video the Contact Owner field allows selection of alternate HubSpot Owners when the new contact is created.
No extra steps. No additional time.
And, it’s all standard stuff -- no trip to China for kung fu lessons required. haha
Sometimes the easiest solution is the best solution is the easiest solution -- let Fred add contacts directly in HubSpot. We can easily set his default view to be blank, so it ‘looks the same’ to him every time. Not recommended but hey … it’s Fred. haha
We all have a ‘Fred’ in our midsts.
Good luck on your project.
Best,
Frank
