What does the Hubspot Connector do?
The Hubspot Connector for PostHog sends data from PostHog to Hubspot whenever an $identify event occurs. That is, whenever PostHog successfully identifies a user. This is useful for syncing customer information between both PostHog and Hubspot.
Requirements
The Hubspot Connector requires either PostHog Cloud, or a self-hosted PostHog instance running version 1.30.0 or later.
Not running 1.30.0? Find out how to update your self-hosted PostHog deployment!
You'll also need a Hubspot account to connect to.
What information can I push to Hubspot from PostHog?
Currently, this integration supports sending the following data to Hubspot:
- Email addresses
- First names
- Last names
- Phone numbers
- Company names
- Company website URLs
This information can be sent whenever an $identify event occurs in PostHog.
No other information can currently be sent to PostHog using this app. If this app exists in a chain where the above information would be filtered out (for example, by using the Property Filter app) then filtered information cannot be sent to Hubspot.
