Lead Capture Tools

Redirect after form completion

SOLVE

 

We offer an online service that requires user regstration which means that we have a custom database that stores key data. I'm looking for the easiest option to capture data in Hubspot at the same time that it goes into our user DB. I know that we can integrate the data on the back end but I was hoping for an easier solution in the short term.

 

I think the ideal solution would be to use a Hubspot Form that redirects the user to a URL on our service that contains the necessary contact data that was entered into the form.  This would add the data to Hubspot and allow us to pull the user data from the URL.  Is this possible? (I was able to do this by adding a "personalized" URL to a followup email but this loses a lot of people that don't get the email or if the message goes to their spam folder, etc)

 

Does anyone have another solution to this issue? Is there a third party solution that does this out-of-the-box?  Open to ideas.

Hi @PeterS72,

 

In this type of scenario, HubSpot is usually not used as a registration form. It's original purpose is to capture information required for marketing and sales, not a registration process. For example, HubSpot does not accept sensitive information in form fields like passwords.

 

That being said, there are workarounds to dynamically redirect users to specific pages after they submit the form: https://community.hubspot.com/t5/APIs-Integrations/Embedded-Form-submission-amp-redirect-URL-based-o...

 

Another option would be using a third-party form for the registration and using the HubSpot API to log the form submission in HubSpot in parallel: https://legacydocs.hubspot.com/docs/methods/forms/submit_form

 

Best regards!

At some point, this should be / should have already been added to HubSpot. With focus on working leads through the funnel, does it not make sense to have dynamic redirects in form submissions?

When we are qualifying leads though a series of form questions, it seems logical that I would want to fork the lead nurturing journey based on specified answers on form submission.

In this example, a lead that does not qualify to continue on journey A, does however, qualify to continue onto journey B. This would be distingished by which landing page the lead was dynamically redirected to based on the submitted answers to specified questions.

I cannot be the only one that runs multiple forks to qualify leads on a journey? If this, than that, else...

Come on HubSpot, we are paying a premium, we would like premium features without the need for 3rd party intergrations.

@hubspot - If you would like more information on the benefits of muliti-tiered lead qualifications, I would be happy to discuss.
