Overview
Note: Goldcast stops pushing event data to HubSpot and all other integrated platforms five hours after an event’s scheduled end time.
The HubSpot integration syncs your Goldcast Event Users to your HubSpot contacts. This will allow you to send emails, schedule meetings, and track user activity through your HubSpot account.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be satisfied before you can begin the HubSpot integration process.
Goldcast
Event Organizer access to your instance of Goldcast.
HubSpot
In order to integrate HubSpot with your Goldcast Org, your HubSpot account will need to have Super Admin permissions. Platform integrations can only be authorized by Super Admins in HubSpot.
Connecting a Goldcast Org to HubSpot
Notes:
- Before beginning the HubSpot integration process, we recommend logging into your HubSpot account to avoid having to do so later in the setup process.

Event Users and HubSpot Contact Profiles
Note: Registrations in Goldcast can take up to five minutes to import into your HubSpot Contacts. If you do not see your new registrants in your contacts list, check back in a few minutes.
After you've connected your HubSpot account to an event in Goldcast, all Event Users registered for the event will automatically have a Contact Profile created for them in HubSpot.
Once an Event User has been registered, they will begin having Timeline Activities associated with their Contact Profile.
Viewing Timeline Activities for a Goldcast Event
Note: Individual Timeline Activities can be enabled and disabled for an event. You can choose what activity trigger data is sent to HubSpot. By default, all timelines activities are enabled.
Timeline activities track user engagement and interaction with your event such as attendance; time spent at the event; and participation in polls, Q&A sessions, and discussion groups. Once the HubSpot integration has been enabled, you can selected the Timeline Activities that you want to send these metrics to Events User's HubSpot Contact Profiles.
Timeline activities can be viewed and selected by opening the HubSpot tile on the Connected Apps page for an event.
We can see the Timelines Activities in Event Users' HubSpot Contact. You can see an example below of a Registered activity trigger being sent to HubSpot as Timeline Activity.
