Hubspot forms and Google SSO

[Drishtii_]

Hello community!

I am trying to work with my dev team and convert all the web forms and app sign in forms we have into Hubspot forms. For this, I am using Hubspot's Forms API and the web form embed code. 

One such form on our website allows users to sign up using their Google email. Is there a way for me to capture that email as well and store it on Hubspot?

Any pointers or help documentation here will be appreciated.

as far as google oauth2 goes, a successful signin will return profile information back to your callback endpoint. Not 100% sure but I think you set up the scopes within google console so that you'd get their email, name etc. You would want to capture that on the app endpoint, and probably do some sort of database check:

user = askMyDatabase(data.email)

if (user === undefined) { submitDataToForm(data) } 

then you could try to use the submit form endpoint: https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/forms/submit_form

so effectively you would create a form in HubSpot, but you would never really embed did if that makes sense. 

let me know if i understood you wrong

no idea how your setup is but I hope the general idea comes across 🙂

scopes:

https://developers.google.com/identity/protocols/oauth2/scopes 

endpoint for checking contact existence:

Thank you!
Will chat with the dev on our team to see if we can implement this.
