How do I integrate the InEvent platform with HubSpot?

You can integrate the InEvent platform with HubSpot through our native integration or by configuring it through Zapier.

Accessing your HubSpot account

When you enter the HubSpot page, you have to log into your account. Once you are logged in, you can choose the InEvent account and then press select Choose account. You will be redirected again to the InEvent and your event will be successfully linked to Hubspot.

Choose account

On the Integration page, you will also see the When creating an event, should we create a list? Click on Edit to select Yes or No from the drop-down. By default it is set to No.

  • If you select Yes, this means that there will be an automatic list creation on HubSpot when you create an event.
  • If you select No , this means that when you create an event, you have to manually create a list for that event on HubSpot, then come back to your event on InEvent to sync this list.

On this page, you can select a HubSpot static list to be synced with InEvent. Below are the available options:

  • Select a static list to sync (if applicable): Using the drop-down box, select an existing HubSpot static list to be synced with your event.
If you have enabled the automatic creation of a list on HubSpot when an event is created, the list will already be selected here.
  • Sync new registrations: Using the checkbox, enable or disable automatic synchronization of new users from InEvent to HubSpot.
  • Sync contact from HubSpot automatically: Using the checkbox, enable or disable automatic synchronization of contact from HubSpot to InEvent.
  • For new contacts added directly to your list, choose a target list to sync: Using the drop-down, select the target list to sync in InEvent: Attendees or Invitees.
This option only appears if you have ticked the Sync contact from HubSpot automatically checkbox.

Once you have configured this page, click on the Sync data button at the top of the page, and your InEvent's attendee list will be synced with your HubSpot's static list (if linked). Data can be synced at intervals of 2 minutes from InEvent's platform.
