Contact Field Mapping in HubSpot

Overview

The HubSpot Contact Field Mapping feature lets you map Goldcast’s Standard and Custom Event User properties to your HubSpot Contacts. In Goldcast, standard fields are mapped at the organization level, while custom fields are mapped at the event level. In this article, we explain how to map your standard fields. For custom field mapping, refer here

Before You Begin: Make sure your event registration forms are set up to collect the Goldcast properties you’ve mapped to HubSpot. If you aren’t collecting registrant data for your mapped properties, no data can be sent to HubSpot. To know more about how to create and assign forms for your events, click here.

 

 

Prerequisites

To set up your Contacts Field Mapping for HubSpot in the Goldcast, you should install and connect your Goldcast org to your HubSpot.

Once you login to Goldcast Studio, follow these steps to set up Contact Field Mapping:

  1. Click on your Avatar Logo in the top right corner of your screen and click on the Integrations menu.
  2. Alternatively, you can also click the hamburger icon on the top left and click the Integrations menu to open the integrations page. 
  3. Next, locate the connected HubSpot integration and click on it. You will land on the HubSpot settings page.
  4. Scroll to the Contact Field Mapping section and click Edit.

You will now be able to see a drawer that lets you map your Goldcast Standard properties to Contact Properties in HubSpot. Here you will see three default mappings already set up: First Name, Last Name and Email.
Email being a unique field in Goldcast used to identify an event registrant, the update policy for the Email field cannot be modified.

Click on Add Mapping to map any additional Goldcast standard fields to your connected HubSpot account.  

The Policy(Update Policy) denotes how the fields in HubSpot will get updated upon change in Goldcast Fields. We have three options for Update policy

  • Always Update: This will update your Contacts in HubSpot always when your mapped field in Goldcast gets updated.
  • Don’t update if source is empty: This will not update your Contacts in HubSpot if the mapped field in Goldcast is empty.
  • Only update when target is empty: This will only update your Contacts in HubSpot if the mapped field in HubSpot is empty.

Configuring Field Mapping in your Goldcast org

Set up your new mapping from the record added using Add mapping CTA. This will consist of selecting 3 components :

  • Standard Fields in Goldcast will be collected from your forms.
  • Contacts Property Field in HubSpot will get updated.
  • Update Policy: This is the way Contact Field Mappings will update target fields in HubSpot.
  1. To add a new mapping, click on the Add Mapping button.
  2. Select your Field name in Goldcast from the first drop-down. For example, Magic Link.
  3. Select the corresponding Contact Field name in HubSpot.
  4. Choose the update policy that seems appropriate according to your requirement for Contacts in HubSpot.
  5. Similarly, repeat this process for all the Standard Fields you want to map.
  6. Once done, click on Save to save the field mapping for HubSpot; this will give you a success
    message indicating HubSpot Field Mapping has been Updated Successfully.

Important Notes:

  • By default, the Country form field in Goldcast has Country Name to Country mapping. 
    The country name is displayed in the form when a user selects it. However, while syncing this value, it syncs as Country Code. Make sure the field in your target system is configured to accommodate Country. If you want the country name to be synced, you must change it manually in the Goldcast form in the Field's data section.
  • UTM Tracking Fields should be passed through your Registration Form URL to capture the data and then passed to your target system.
  • The Calendar Invite URL field is more than 500 characters, so choose your target field accordingly.
  • QR Code URL field is only applicable for field events.
