Hi @Joel_Fed - would you mind sharing how you did that? I think it could be a workaround while HubSpot are still working on this functionality
I didn’t actually do it myself. I worked with a Google Analytics/Tag Manager expert to achieve it, but if you search for “how to track pdf downloads in google tag manager” you will get a number of links such as this:
Agreed.
It’s a non-sense a document within hubspot can not be part of the lead scoring.
+ having the time spent on this document would also be a great feature
This function has my vote.
Agreed - important to track ‘ungated’ items…
Totally agree. This is becoming crucial for us.
Absolutely agree. It is nice to be able to see how much time spent on the pages, but what we are seeing is the vast majority of people opening a multi-page file and stay on page one. Either we are wasting our time sharing documents through HS or everyone is downloading it, which would be important for us to know. Please do add this feature.
Absolutely agree. It would be great to be able to track all of our docs in file manager. Or have some sort of reporting available on a link of a document since we promote it multiple places and would love to know where it performs the best.
Agreed. Please add this! We are new to HubSpot and very disappointed to find it lacks such basic tracking that can be critical to inbound marketing.
Agreed. Marketing files in the file manager should have the exact same tracking and analysis capabilities as sales documents.
Ditto. It is critical for content-driven lead nurturing to track actual downloads of white papers, case studies, etc. as part of lead scoring.
Really necessary feature.
This is functionality that is desperately needed. We have lots of documents hosed in HubSpot and we need to be able to attribute contact properties to contacts based on what files they download. How has this functionality not been introduced yet? It is clear from this thread that lots of people need it.
I would also love to track views on uploaded Files.
You can do this if you add the file to sales document and share the link.
With Pardot, it can show what contacts have viewed/downloaded a files stored on the Pardot server, same thing as the HubSpot file manager. It seems a very essential feature of any marketing automation tool and when it comes down to digital marketing and asset tracking. Please add this feature please!
Hi everyone, thank you for your feedback here. While there is no official update at this time, this is something that is on our team’s radar; there are no definitive plans on our roadmap for this but it is something that our team is aware of.
Currently leaving this as ‘Idea Submitted’ since there are no definitive plans on our roadmap but it is something that our team is aware of.
It would be great to see this feature. Thanks cclaffey.
Fully agree. Would be awesome to have!
