Hello! I’m trying to follow the instructions provided by Google so I can create a lead form in Google Ads. They basically say that I need to create a webhook in Hubspot that provides me with a URL and a key. "A webhook is an API that enables you to send lead data to your CRM system in real-time. To set it up, you will need to add a webhook URL and key to your lead form extension. You may need to do some configuration within your CRM system to generate the URL and key. The URL is the delivery path: after the user submits a lead form, an HTTP POST request is sent to the configured URL, allowing the lead data to go directly into the CRM system. The key is used for validating the leads sent." Does anybody have experience doing this? It seems like it should be fairly easy, but I’ve learned that nothing in Hubspot really is. :slightly_smiling_face: TIA, Zac

Hi @GoZacGo My understanding here is that you’re looking for a way to generate a HubSpot Webhook URL so that you can pass form submissions to HubSpot from your external Lead Gen Forms, is that correct? If so, this is not an integration type that we can currently support as we do not provide the means of generating a webhook within HubSpot. Instead, our tools allow you to work with external systems to pass information from HubSpot to external webhook URLs - This functionality can be seen in-depth, here: Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot Looking at the documentation that you provided, it appears this relates to a feature called ‘Search lead form’, this is not something I am familiar with and so, it may be possible that our Google Ads integration covers this type of ad. HubSpot can track most Google ad types, including YouTube ads, but it’s worth noting that it cannot report on or track Google Smart Campaigns due to API limitations. More info on this integration can be seen here: [image] Ad tracking in HubSpot Learn how to set up ad tracking in HubSpot, and how HubSpot tracks which ads your contacts are clicking and converting on. If you have not already done so, i’d recommend you connect your Google Ads account directly to your HubSpot account. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Matthew, This is a newer type of ad extension that allows the user to fill out a form without going to the website. The information captured can be downloaded from google, but my client needs the info to be seamlessly passed to Hubspot. Since the webhook doesn’t seem to be a route we can easily take, I’m wondering if it is possible to then manually upload the leads into Hubspot to get the leads into a proper workflow. Our Hubspot and Google accounts are totally connected, but this is falling outside of the basic integration, sadly.

We’re in the same situation as @GoZacGo . We are building out Google Lead Gen ads and need to be able to integrate those leads into Hubspot to ensure that we can get each one into the workflow immediately upon receiving the request for information. If we have to delay our response time due to manual uploads, we loose prospective students. We need Hubspot’s help to update the software service so we can take full advantage of this ad tactic. Lead gen ads have been incredibly effective on social platforms so it is likely that Google lead gen ads will also be successful. We’ll go the manual route for now as well, but please work on an integration for us.

I’ll add my name to the list of folks requesting this type of integration. Allowing the automatic flow of Lead Form Extension data from Google Ads to Hubspot’s email repository would great improve the time to respond to new leads.

This can be done using Zapier. I was already using Zapier to take submissions from our website contact form and have them automatically turn into new HubSpot deals, and I just set up an Adwords Form the same way and it works great. In Zapier, create a new “Zap”. The app should be “Google Lead Form Extensions” and the trigger event is “New Lead”. In the next step you’ll get a Webhook URL which you will then paste into your Adwords lead extension. After entering the webhook in adwords and saving you should be able to test your trigger in Zapier and get confirmation that it works. Now finish your Zap by telling it what to do when the new lead comes in (Pick HubSpot CRM as the app and then the action you want to happen like Create Deal or Create Contact). EDIT: The webhook key can be whatever you want it to be. You can use it to identify which ad campaign the lead came from. I named mine like this: “GoogleAdwords-SpecialOfferCampaign”. Then pull that key into your HubSpot deal so you know where the lead came from.

I am trying this “GAd Lead Form Extension - Hubspot” connection through Zapier too, but, in fact, I cannot say that works properly since the AdWords field “Webhook key” is required. Could you please tell me where have you got this information? Furthermore, it is comprehensible that a Google Ads functionality that still remains on its BETA version is not available to integrate on Hubspot. However, attending to the large periods of time that usually Google spend on their BETA versions, I really hope that Hubspot team attend the demands of the world most popular advertising community. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks Imarshall. I really appreciate the recommended solution. Also, I found this in Google Ads Support. Hope it helps someone. Set up a webhook integration for a lead form extension

My understanding is that this has changed.. that there is something in beta or even released that does this. Looking for the documentation.

Been nearly 5 years. Is this something you can support yet?

Go ahead and us to the list of partners that will need this integration as well :slightly_smiling_face:

Is this on Hubspots roadmap yet? I’m surprised this hasn’t been done yet.

Add us to the list. Right now Google says with out a webhook we can only download leads after 30 days. That is not a great user experience for Lead Gen.
