Before diving into the details of the HubSpot webinar integration. Here is a quick overview of the HubSpot integration.
And some of the data that is synced between HubSpot and Univid.
Now let's look at how to connect HubSpot and Univid - using the registration flow of you choice, but also getting engagement data back into HubSpot.
Table of contents
1. Authenticate in Univid
Make sure to have access to the wanted Univid room to connect to HubSpot.
If you are new to Univid and just getting started - create your organization and account here.
If you are part of a existing team - ask for an invite to your organization, or follow along below if you already have an account.
Do the following steps:
1.1. Navigate to integrations
In your workspace you want to connect to HubSpot - navigate to the tab "Integrations" in the left sidebar.
1.2. Click Connect HubSpot to organization
Simply click the button "Connect HubSpot to organization". Follow the steps in the popup to authenticate to your HubSpot account.
1.3. Success!
That's it. Your workspace is now connected. ✅ All the webinars in your workspace can now talk to HubSpot, and you can send registrants from HubSpot if you follow the steps below.
PS. if you want to double check that a specific webinar is connected - go to "Access & registration" in the left sidebar, where you should see the "Integrations" tab.
2. Register users
Below we instruct how to register users via HubSpot, and notify Univid that a registration has been submitted.
Ideally, when working with HubSpot, registration is done from HubSpot using a workflow (see 2.1). Alternatively a more time consuming method can be used: a HubSpot form with a hidden field (see 2.2). Or if you prefer to keep it simple - you can use Univid:s built in landing pages, where registrants will then automatically be sent to HubSpot.
Reminders and confirmation emails are then typically sent from Univid, but let's look at how we register people first.
Chapter overview:
2.1 Create workflow
2.1 Create workflow
Workflows are a highly flexible way of deciding which contacts to be invited to the Univid webinar. Follow our workflow example below, starting with a form submission with the end result of the contact appearing within Univid.
If you have not created a HubSpot form, follow 2.2.1 before proceeding below.
This section covers:
2.1.1 The trigger
Set up a trigger rule of which contacts to receive a personal invite to Univid. For example, within the 'Filter criteria trigger type' you can use the form submission trigger.
2.1.2 Notify Univid
Use the action “Register to Univid Webinar”.
Bonus: you can obtain the personal link within the "action output" of this action. This can be useful when creating a custom confirmation email (see 4.1 to learn more).
2.1.3 Validate notification
After enabling the workflow. It should now be all set! A good way to quality assure the flow is to test signing up and checking if the contact is visible inside Univid (obs it can take a few minutes for the contact to appear in Univid). This quality assurance is only possible if you have access to the email you tested with.
Furthermore, make sure the contact (upon being registered in HubSpot) has the following values filled in:
Email (email)
First name (firstname)
Last name (lastname)
2.2 HubSpot forms
2.2.1 Create the form
Go to the forms menu. Marketing -> Forms in header.
Click create form
Create any form type/template you want to
Make sure the following regular fields are available, otherwise Univid will not fetch user:
Email (email)
First name (firstname)
Last name (lastname)
2.2.2 Add the "univid_session_id"-property as hidden
💡 This step is not needed if you are using workflows.
Why use: If your HubSpot plan does not include workflows (see 2.1 Create a workflow), a hidden property field must be added to the form.
Follow the 4 steps to make it happen (or watch this video):
Add a new single-line text field to your form - named "univid_session_id".
Add a "Connected property" to this field - either select existing or create a new matching property on Contact called "univid_session_id".
In the form settings, select "make this field hidden".
Set the Default value to the "Session ID" found in the settings in the Univid interface.
As long as this hidden field is included in the form, everyone signing up should get this property on their contact, and as a result, be registered to the session in Univid.
2.3 Set custom landing page (optional)
💡This step is not mandatory
In the left menu you can input the link to a custom landing page, meaning people will get directed there if they try to access the generic webinar link (when not signed up).
To set a custom landing page:
In HubSpot, create a HubSpot landing page (Content -> Landing page)
In HubSpot, find the link to the landing page
In Univid, head over to the left menu
In Univid, activate custom landing page and paste the link
Example of custom landing page in HubSpot CMS - connected to Univid via HubSpot integration.
Hint: If you prefer, you can also use the built in registration page in Univid to collect registrants.
3. Read & Export data
Done with your webinar? Well, after your webinar you have the overall statistics in your Univid Analytics dashboard.
You also have the Excel to download with individual data.
But as you are using the HubSpot integration - you also now magically have the individual data in HubSpot.
Each of these data points will be indicated as an activity card (timeline activity) on the contact within HubSpot. And you now have a lot of data.
For example, if they watched live, or on-demand. Or if they asked a Q&A question. You can use this data to create your own custom lists, or even trigger workflows.
Let's look at 3 ways how to use the data.
3.1 See webinar engagement on activity cards in HubSpot
You get engagement insights about each registrant right into their corresponding HubSpot contacts. You can easily see all the engagement of a certain contact as activity cards in their timeline.
Timeline events in HubSpot from webinar engagement in Univid.
To see the activity cards from Univid: Enable them in HubSpot by:
Navigate to a contact
Open the Filter activity
Check the Univid box (under Integrations)
That's it! Now you can see all the activity cards from Univid going forward.
Ps. This is something you do once.
3.2 Create segments (lists) based on webinar engagement
See below for a video example of how to create a active segment in HubSpot based on engagement data - more specifically with all attendees that asked Q&A questions during the last week.
3.3 Trigger workflows based on webinar engagement
Workflows are a powerful feature, for example you could implement lead-scoring from your Univid webinars!
You are able to work with the timeline events using action outputs.
Below two images illustrate a workflow that will copy the Q&A data from Univid to a HubSpot property. From there you can export that list (see section 3.4).
Example of a workflow that stores Univid Q&As into a HubSpot property. In the trigger, remember to set “contains any” followed by the Univid session id.
In the "Edit record action", you are able to choose "Action outputs" to be set as the value of a property.
3.4 Build HubSpot webinar reports
Using HubSpot's reporting dashboards, you can display the Univid webinar data as nice overviews to follow performance over time, share results with other team members, or benchmark the webinars against each other.
You can use App Events from Univid to build custom reports in HubSpot, for example to
analyze conversion rate on the CTA button from your webinars
see webinar registrations over time.
3.5 Advanced: Export lists
Below we demonstrate how to filter participants from a webinar who have done a certain activity. Then we provide a useful Excel file which will save you some time formatting the exported data.
3.5.1 Setup the list
Remember that you can create segments in HubSpot based on activity cards (see example video). These are just three examples:
list everyone who clicked on a specific CTA button during the webinar
answered alternative A in a poll
wrote a question in Q&A, etc.
All it takes is some HubSpot configuration know-how. If you seek a more advanced configuration, leverage HubSpot workflows. Via workflows you could even include lead-scoring from your Univid webinars.
Example of exporting anyone who attended a webinar with a specific sessionId.
3.5.2 Export HubSpot data to Excel/Google Sheets/Libreoffice
Along side with the automatic HubSpot integration, Univid supports direct downloads of individual attendee data via the Excel export functionality.
Where you get structured data per individual row like below.
However, if you'd like to export the HubSpot segments instead to Excel for some reason - here is a short guide on how to do that in 5 steps.
1. You can export lists in HubSpot via the actions button found in the top right corner within the list page.
3. Open it in your favorite spreadsheet tool such as Excel, LibreOffice or Google Sheets.
4. Then proceed by choosing what data to format in the settings tab within the excel file (for example Q&A or chat messages).
5. Finally copy your downloaded HubSpot data into the Input Data Sheet.
4. Custom emails, registration and reminders
Univid supports sending custom emails from HubSpot. Additionally, contacts can be registered to multiple webinars. Before you can send the email.
💡 In short, there are 4 steps to send a custom email from HubSpot with personal links included:
Disable the Univid emails that you prefer to send via HubSpot
Get the unique link via the "Get registrant links to Univid webinar" action
Copy the unique link into a contact property field
Include the unique link in a HubSpot email via the contact property field
1. Disable the default webinar emails in Univid
If you want to send your own custom emails through HubSpot, start by disabling the default Univid emails. You find
Hint: You can later save this email setting as part of your webinar template if you'd like.
2. Get fresh personal link for each registrant via HS action
You can at any point in time get the correct personal link by using Univid's "Get registrant links to Univid webinar" action inside HubSpot.
3. Save the fresh personal link to the Contact property
Make sure to always save a fresh copy of the personal link from the action to the relevant Contact property, for example "univid_last_personal_link". This way you always work with the correct link.
For example, for a custom reminder email:
delay first
get the fresh link via HS action and save to the relevant Contact property
send email
Otherwise, another workflow could have overwritten the link in the meantime. If you create a new property for each webinar, you can skip this step since there can be no overwriting of the property.
4.1 Workflows for custom emails
To send a custom email with a personal link from Univid, you first need to make sure Univid has received the contact from HubSpot. Therefore the trigger enrollment should be "Univid: Registered to webinar".
Note that the delay action is only necessary for reminder emails and can be skipped when sending an initial confirmation email, or a follow-up after the webinar.
4.2 HubSpot CTA Button with personal link
Use HubSpot CTA Button to include stylish buttons in your own HubSpot emails, just like in the Univid default emails.
When editing the button, you can personalize the Link URL so it becomes unique for each registrant. Within Link URL, press 'personalize'. Note that the example below is a small adjustment of a predefined template included in HubSpot, so no need to build an email from scratch.
It is easy to include the personal link for a registrant in automated emails in HubSpot.
4.3 Direct "add to calendar" buttons
A good way to increase show-up rate is to include "add to calendar" buttons in the email.
To implement an "add to calendar" button, you could for example use HubSpot's CTA Button feature, remember to create new contact properties to store the calendar links (if not already done so).
Follow the 4 steps below for an example.
If you need to create new properties, you can use the clone feature to speed up the process.
Step 1: Add a 3 layout column to the email
Step 2: Add three HubSpot CTA buttons (one for each column)
Step 3: Input the contact properties as the Link URL
Step 4: Configure the workflow (extended the example of 4.1)
Note that (for step 4) Univid has a workflow action to receive 3 kinds of add to calendar links: ics file, outlook and google.
That's it! The workflow is now set and connected properly with an automated HubSpot email. Now what's left is to monitor open-rates etc. Tweaking content, reminder delays and design to your needs.
4.4 Custom webinar email examples with HubSpot
4.4.1 The webinar follow-up from HubSpot
Want to follow-up with registrants after the webinar is finished?
Make sure to turn on the "on-demand" mode in Univid - and use the below inspiration for a custom follow-up email workflow. This way on-demand attendance will be neatly tracked in HubSpot per Contact too!
FAQ
Below we cover common gotchas which luckily can be easily solved.
I already have webinar signups in HubSpot - can I still connect them to Univid?
Yes. If you already have webinar signups in HubSpot before connecting Univid, you can still register those contacts in Univid afterwards.
The easiest way is to enroll the relevant contacts in a Register to webinar workflow, as described in the previous section. Make sure the contacts have the required information - email address, first name, and last name - before enrolling them.
If HubSpot workflows are not available on your plan, you can use this alternative solution instead: https://app.univid.io/session/64390a4f61cedc8b75799ef6/
Will there be an issue if I send multiple reminders at the same time to the same contact?
You must not send reminders at the exact point in time to a contact. The issue is that HubSpot may include wrong tracking links. There is an easy fix for this though. Solve the issue by sending reminder emails offset by a minute. For example, send a reminder email for webinar 1 at 12:00 March the 17th in a workflow. Then, configure a reminder email for webinar 2 to be sent at 12:01 March the 17th.
Is it safe to connect Univid to our CRM?
Yes. Univid uses scoped integrations designed to access only the data and permissions required for the integration to work. Univid is an EU-based company and processes personal data in accordance with GDPR, our applicable data processing agreements, and established security practices.
Large global enterprises and organizations in sectors such as legal, healthcare, finance and the public sector rely on Univid to deliver webinars securely.
If your IT, legal, or security team would like more information, contact us and we can share our Security Whitepaper and answer any questions about the integration setup, data processing, or permissions.
Why do I have more signups in HubSpot segment than in Univid?
Most likely, there is no registration limit. If some HubSpot contacts have not been registered in Univid, the quickest way to understand why is to check the workflow history in HubSpot. The workflow history will typically show which contacts did not complete the Univid registration step and why.
Common reasons include:
Missing contact information: The contact needs an email address, first name, and last name to be registered in Univid.
Duplicate contacts or email addresses: A contact with multiple email addresses will only be enrolled once in Univid.
If you add missing information afterwards, you may need to re-enroll the contact in the workflow for the registration to be sent to Univid. You can also refresh your Univid dashboard to make sure you are seeing the latest registration count.
