How HubSpot works
Syncing prospects and leads into HubSpot means either integrating it with your existing source of truth, or uploading csvs manually. Once you begin deploying HubSpot forms for your gated content, new leads coming into your system will be automatically captured in HubSpot. HubSpot’s schema centers on contacts
, but with different lifecycle stages. If your source of truth is Salesforce, you’d map in leads
, which become contacts
in HubSpot in phase 0 or 1 of the lifecycle. HubSpots lifecycle includes subscriber
, lead
, MQL
, SQL
, Opp
, and Customer Evangelist
.
Get more out of HubSpot with Segment
Instead of uploading your lists or relying on lead forms as your only way of capturing contacts, Segment keeps all of the customer data in your HubSpot instance up to date automatically. You can even include lifecycle stage as a user trait and Segment will move contacts through lifecycle stages automatically. Using HubSpot with Segment saves you time integrating different sources of truth into the system (since you can just turn on HubSpot from your Segment dashboard with no code necessary) and keeps all customer data records synced and up-to-date across systems in real time.
