I have automations now starting with Gravity Forms to initiate Deals and Tasks. But one thing that would be really great is if we can send data via some 3rd part form, and UPDATE a specific field for an existing company, perhaps using the domain name as the defining index.

Is this possible?

Hi @RGoldstein1,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community!

Just to confirm, do you want to be able to add an external form to HubSpot to update data? If that’s the case:

You are able to add non-hubspot forms from your external sites by adding the HubSpot tracking code in the pages. Here are a couple of resources that can help with this.

- Information on where to get your portal HubSpot tracking code and tips on how to install it on your page depending on where is hosted [**https://knowledge.hubspot.com/reports/install-the-hubspot-tracking-code**](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/reports/install-the-hubspot-tracking-code)
- Information on non-hubspot forms, requirements, settings for them and mapping the external form fields and HubSpot properties [**https://knowledge.hubspot.com/forms/use-non-hubspot-forms**](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/forms/use-non-hubspot-forms)
- Information on how to convert non-hubspot forms into HubSpot forms [**https://knowledge.hubspot.com/forms/convert-non-hubspot-forms-into-hubspot-forms**](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/forms/convert-non-hubspot-forms-into-hubspot-forms)

I hope this is useful!

Best,

Diana
