not technical at all and need help!!!

Ok so I am using Divi Theme builder to build my website… in my footer template I have a spot to subscribe… (stay tuned for future updates - with just a spot to enter email and hit button to subscribe)… in the module I obviously need to connect it to Hubspot…

I have no idea how to find the API key or what to do here…

Can anyone help this non-technical small business owner?
I downloaded the hubspot plugin!

Hi @RLappan,

Welcome to the Community and to HubSpot!

Thanks for reaching out for help :slightly_smiling_face:

I wanted to refer you to this help documentation that explains how to access your API key.

I would also like to add our subject matter experts to see if they have any advice.

Hi @Anton, @Teun, @Jnix284 - Do you have any advice for @RLappan on how to connect this module to HubSpot?

Thank you!

Best,

Kristen

Hi @RLappan,

great choice with Divi - it’s one of the best (if not THE best) WP theme out there!

As @kvlschaefer, you can find the API key under Settings/Integrations/API Key.

To be honest - you don’t really need the HubSpot plugin if you don’t want to use certain functions of it.

For forms:

Simply embed your HubSpot forms with the embed code into your page. I recommend to use the Divi code blog module for this

or

get yourself a great WP form plugin and grab your leads through the plugin. I worked with Gravity Forms for years. They even got a native HubSpot integration. So no need for extra plugins or so.

Also - do you use Bloom - thespecific opt-in plugin by elegantthemes(the creators of Divi)? Since you’ve bought Divi - it’s free :grin: And it’s got a HubSpot integration too. So most likely you won’t need API keys

best,

Anton

Thanks so much Anton.
In hubspot it says private apps are replacing api keys…
In Divi I used a templated header/footer and updated it… so it had a
subscribe box. when I click to edit the box its asking for an API key and
when going through the hubspot private apps… I still can’t figure it out.
so instead you are saying to remove that pre-done subscribe now box… add
in a ‘divi code blog module’ and then build a form in hubspot and copy the
code? oh gosh - I don’t know how to do that but I can try.
Maybe I’ll try gravity forms - I thought thats what hubspot was for,… but
yah right now when we literally only have 1 email to add to a list, I don’t
need all the other hubspot functions. I just want a place to grab emails if
people want to sign up for our list and stay tuned about new rentals we
have etc.
I don’t use Bloom… Do I just add it as a plug in or how does that work?
Thanks for all your help!

Hi @RLappan,

I find it easier to implement HubSpot forms directly than working with APIs and such.

If you want, you can try the API route but it can be harder.

No worries. It’s quite easy to embed a HubSpot form into Divi(or other themes).

To get an embed code simply navigate to Marketing → Lead capture → Forms, click on “Actions” and select share.

Select Embed code in the popup and copy the whole code

Navigate to the “Code block” in Divi and paste the whole code.

It should look something like this:

<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="//js.hsforms.net/forms/v2.js"></script>
<script>
 hbspt.forms.create({
 region: "na1",
 portalId: "xxxxxxxx",
 formId: "xxxxxxxxx",
 version: "V2_PRERELEASE"
 });
</script>

one additional line I always recommend to add is

css:""

so your embed code will look like this

<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="//js.hsforms.net/forms/v2.js"></script>
<script>
 hbspt.forms.create({
 region: "na1",
 portalId: "xxxxxxxx",
 formId: "xxxxxxxxx",
 version: "V2_PRERELEASE",
 css: ""
 });
</script>

by doing this your HubSpot form won’t get styling informations from HubSpot but instead get the form styling from Divi.

Note: It can be, that you’ll need to apply some CSS class stylings in Divi.

Bloom is a plugin - right. You should be able to download it after logging in into elegantthemes in your account. Install it and connect it to HubSpot.

To be honest - if you want just get one mail, save yourself some plugins and use the embed code :slightly_smiling_face:

best,

Anton

Hi Anton - It sounds like you are a fan of Divi. Is there a similar HubSpot theme that you think is as powerful as Divi?

Thanks,

Bob
