HubSpot is a CRM platform with marketing, sales and service tools built around one shared contact database. If you run LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms, sending every new lead to HubSpot automatically saves you downloading files from Campaign Manager and importing them by hand.
This guide shows you how to send LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to HubSpot with LeadsNotify: connect your LinkedIn Page, connect HubSpot, choose where leads go, and test it. It takes about five minutes.
Why Send LinkedIn Leads to HubSpot?
HubSpot workflows, lead scoring and deal pipelines all start from a contact record. The faster a lead becomes a contact, the faster the rest of your HubSpot setup can work on it.
LinkedIn leads are often your most valuable leads: decision makers, with company and job title already filled in from their profile. They are also the easiest to lose, because they wait in Campaign Manager until someone remembers to download them.
How to Send LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to HubSpot (About 5 Minutes)
Before you start, you need: a LeadsNotify account on any plan, free included, admin access to the LinkedIn Page that runs your lead gen forms, and your HubSpot login.
Step 1: Connect Your LinkedIn Account
Log in to LeadsNotify and open Lead sources. Click Sign in with LinkedIn, sign in, and approve the permissions LinkedIn asks for. Your account shows as Connected under LinkedIn accounts. Already connected? Skip to step 2.
Step 2: Create a Notifier and Pick Your Lead Gen Forms
Click Create notifier. In the Source step, choose LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms, select your LinkedIn account and tick one or more lead gen forms. LeadsNotify reads the fields on those forms, such as first name, last name, email, company name and job title.
Only active forms are shown. If a form is missing, check that the form and its campaign are active in Campaign Manager.
Step 3: Choose HubSpot as the Destination
Click Choose destination, find HubSpot in the list (you can search for it) and click the button to connect it.
Step 4: Connect HubSpot
In the Connect step, connect your HubSpot account. There is no key to copy: you sign in to HubSpot and allow access.
- In the Connect step, click the Connect HubSpot button.
- HubSpot opens a window where you choose the HubSpot account to connect. If you manage several portals, pick the right one.
- Review the access requested and approve it. HubSpot sends you back to LeadsNotify.
Step 5: Match Your Fields and Save
Once HubSpot is connected, LeadsNotify loads your HubSpot contact properties, including custom properties. Match each lead form field to the HubSpot property it belongs in.
Save the notifier. It appears under Notifiers, and the green switch means it’s live. The test step shows whether failure alerts are on, so you hear about it if a lead can’t be delivered.
Step 6: Send a Test Lead and Check Lead delivery
Saving the notifier opens Review and test delivery. LeadsNotify cannot create LinkedIn test leads itself, but LinkedIn can, and the test step lists the exact steps for your form.
To send one, open LinkedIn Campaign Manager and choose your ad account, go to Content & Assets > Lead generation forms, click More next to the form and choose Send Test Lead. Fill in a first name, last name and email address you own, then click Send. Later, the ⋯ menu next to the notifier in Notifiers has How to send a test lead with the same steps.
Open CRM > Contacts in HubSpot and search for the test lead by email. If the test lead is there with the right details, the notifier is working.
Then open Lead delivery in LeadsNotify. Every attempt is listed with the source, the destination, a status of Delivered or Failed and the delivery time. Our guide to the lead delivery status dashboard walks through every column.
Tips for Getting More From LinkedIn Leads in HubSpot
- Create a custom contact property such as Lead Source Detail and map the form name to it, so you can report on which ad and form produced each contact.
- Build a HubSpot workflow that enrolls contacts when that property is set, to assign an owner and send a first email automatically.
- Only users with Super Admin or App Marketplace access permissions can install apps in HubSpot. If the connect window refuses, ask your HubSpot admin.
Troubleshooting the LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms to HubSpot Integration
Start with the Lead delivery page. It shows whether each lead was Delivered or Failed, and the failure alert email includes the reason.
| What you see | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No leads arriving at all | The LinkedIn account shows as disconnected, often after an admin role changes | Lead sources > Sign in with LinkedIn, and reconnect the account |
| Your form isn’t in the form list | Only active forms are shown | Check the form and campaign status in Campaign Manager, then reopen the notifier |
| Leads stopped after you edited the campaign | The campaign now uses a different lead gen form | Edit the notifier and select the new form |
| HubSpot will not let you connect | Your HubSpot user lacks Super Admin or App Marketplace access permissions | Ask a HubSpot Super Admin to connect the account, or to grant you the permission |
| A property value is rejected | A dropdown property in HubSpot only accepts its defined options | Map that field to a single-line text property, or make the options match |
| A delivery shows Failed | HubSpot refused the lead | Open Lead delivery to find the lead, and read the reason in the failure alert email |
