The custom object fields are available in forms now, but it looks like that would only update an existing object as per support. It really should create the object and the association that seems much more useful and intuitive.
This is pretty core to a lot of CO use cases that I'm working on.
One example I have right now is a large truck brand. Their lead form has a module that lets contacts locate their nearest dealer. I want to build a CO that has all dealers in there, and have the form submission associate the contact to the correct dealer.
One other is a catalogue of refurbished heavy equipment that prospective buyers can browse through. Since it's refurbished, each piece of equipment is unique and stored in a CO. Buyers can request a quote through a web form. I'd love to be able to create a deal from the form submission, and automatically associate that deal with the correct CO records, based on equipment IDs passed through a hidden field in the webform.
In both cases I have all the pieces, all I'm missing is the logic to use a value in the form to look up and associate with a record on another object (custom or not).
Our use cases is to be able to collect website user feedback and store it on a custom object, with the option of collecting an email address (but the email address is not required; could be anonymous).
They've added something to this effect, as you can indeed create CO records through a form. What's still not possible afaik, is updating existing CO records through a form, or creating associations between a contact submitting the form and a CO created from that same form. But I haven't played around with it much yet, so I'm not 100%.
Thumbs up. It would be helpful for our team members / customers to create & update Custom Objects through Forms as well as create an association to the proper Contact or other Object.
Still requires an contact to submit the form against. Really need to ability to submit a form against a custom object and not require a contact or company.
Same here. We have a custom object for customer account, and once a contract is signe,, we create a customer account and all of the relevant associations. A group of fields are needed for billing, and we want to send a billing form to the client to fill in, that would automatically load jnto Hubspots billing section and fields. So far, doesn't seem possible without some major workarounds and might not be able to auto associate the form from the contact to the custom object the contact is associated to.
This is possible now with Hubspot forms. Make sure your custom object properties have show in forms set. On the form, you'll see a section for each objects properties to add to the form. Adding an object property that is a unique identifier will be used to de-dedupe the objects and update an existing object. otherwise a new object will be created and associated to the contact. only unique identifiers can be used to match to existing objects.
