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 Page
Log in to LeadsNotify. Open Connectors in the top menu and choose Linkedin. Click Connect To Linkedin, sign in, tick the Pages you run lead gen form campaigns from, and approve the permissions LinkedIn asks for.
Every Page you ticked shows as CONNECTED. Adding another Page later? Click Connect To Linkedin again and tick the new Page, leaving the connected Pages ticked. Already connected? Skip to step 2.
Step 2: Create a HubSpot Notifier
Go back to the dashboard. Under Create a new notifier, make sure the LinkedIn tab is selected, type “hubspot” in the search box, find Send leads to HubSpot and click Create notifier.
Step 3: Pick Your Page and Lead Gen Forms
The Create Notifier screen has two sides. The Trigger on the left is where leads come from. The Action on the right is where they go.
In the Trigger panel, choose your LinkedIn Page under Select Page, then pick one or more lead gen forms under Select Form. LeadsNotify then lists 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 4: Connect HubSpot
In the Action panel, connect your HubSpot account. There is no key to copy: you sign in to HubSpot and allow access.
- In the Action panel, click the green Click here to connect your HubSpot account 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: Choose Where Leads Go, Then Submit
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.
Tick Email me when a lead fails so you hear about it if a lead can’t be delivered, then click Submit. Your notifier appears under My Notifier, and the green switch means it’s live.
Step 6: Send a Test Lead and Check Lead Delivery
After you submit the notifier, LeadsNotify offers to send a test lead through it. You can also do this later: open My Notifier, click Edit on the notifier, then click TEST NOTIFIER.
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.
Want to test with a submission from LinkedIn itself? In Campaign Manager, open your ad account, go to Content & Assets > Lead generation forms, click More next to the form and choose Send Test Lead. Use a real email address you own.
Then open Lead Delivery in LeadsNotify. Every attempt is listed with the Page, the form, the destination and a status of Delivered or Failed, and the Response column shows the exact reply from HubSpot. 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 Response column in Lead Delivery. It shows the exact reason HubSpot gave for a failed lead.
| What you see | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No leads arriving at all | The LinkedIn Page shows DISCONNECTED, often after an admin role changes | Connectors > Linkedin > Connect To Linkedin, and tick the Page again |
| Your form isn’t in Select Form | 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 and read the Response column for the reason |
