Export leads from a Google Sheet to HubSpot

Workflow
Revops
Intermediate

This is a 'Workflow' template which means that it is a single standalone workflow.

Some workflow templates can be modified to work with other workflow templates - e.g. to convert a data sync between two services from uni-directional to bi-directional

Overview
Copy

The purpose of this workflow is to capture leads from a Google Sheet and use these to create and update contacts in HubSpot.

This workflow is fired every time a Gsheet ID is entered into a Tray Form:

Prerequisites

Key workflow steps
Copy

The following diagram gives a simplified breakdown of the key steps in the workflow:


Data mapping
Copy


The workflow uses the data mapper to dynamically respond to the 'Lead Source' in the Google Sheet and maps it to a machine-readable format:

Organic Search --> ORGANIC_SEARCH

Paid Search --> PAID_SEARCH

Email marketing --> EMAIL_MARKETING

etc.

This can then be passed to the HubSpot 'Latest Source' ('hs_analytics_source' in the Hubpsot API) when creating / updating contacts:


Standardization
Copy


This Object Helpers step transforms the Google Sheet column headers into a standard object with fields in the following format:

First Name --> first_name

Last Name --> last_name

Lead Source --> lead_source

etc.

Note that the actual value for Lead Source ('Paid Search', 'Referrals' etc.) is mapped according to the data mapping section above.

For each lead we will then have a simple object which can be easily accessed by later HubSpot steps using jsonpaths such as $.steps.object-helpers-1.result.first_name:


Email validation
Copy


The lead’s email address is validated for the appropriate user@domain.com format

If the email address is invalid, the failure status will be written to the appropriate column in the lead sheet:


Create / Update contacts
Copy


A search is made for an existing contact in HubSpot using the lead’s email address as the unique identifier.

If a HubSpot contact does exist, the contact record is updated and the status of 'Success' is added to the 'Import Status' column in the Google Sheet.

If a HubSpot contact does not exist, a new contact record is created and the status of 'Success' is added to the 'Import Status' column in the Google Sheet.


Updating UTMs
Copy


For simplicity this template adds the UTM information into the HubSpot 'message' field for each contact (rather than using HubSpot custom fields).

utm_campaign, utm_medium and utm_source are all picked up from the standardized object:
