Spot Integration: Bi‑Directional Sync, Call Logging, and Field Mappings

Get a verified, end‑to‑end HubSpot connection in minutes. My AI Front Desk reads HubSpot to match existing records and writes new/updated data back—so contacts, calls, and (optional) tasks stay in sync.

Quick How‑To (under 2 minutes) 1) In My AI Front Desk: Integrations → HubSpot → Connect and complete OAuth for your portal. 2) Confirm deduping order (Front Desk unique ID → email → phone) and review default field mappings. 3) Enable call recordings/transcripts and (optional) follow‑up task rules → Save → Place a test call.

What we sync (out of the box)

  • Contacts: Bi‑directional upsert (reads for matching via contacts.read, writes via contacts.write) using unique ID, email, or phone.

  • Calls: Automatic call activity logging with AI summary, direction, duration, disposition, from/to numbers, and source.

  • Recordings & Transcripts: Attached via HubSpot’s Recordings & Transcripts workflow.

  • Tasks (optional): Follow‑up tasks for missed calls/qualified leads with due date, priority, owner.

Field mappings you can trust

  • Contacts: phone, mobilephone, email, firstname, lastname, plus custom properties like lead_source and frontdesk_contact_uid (unique).

  • Calls: hs_timestamp, hs_call_body (AI summary), hs_call_title, hs_call_direction, hs_call_status, hs_call_disposition, hs_call_duration, hs_call_from_number, hs_call_to_number, hs_call_source=INTEGRATIONS_PLATFORM.

Scopes at a glance

  • Required: crm.objects.contacts.read, crm.objects.contacts.write

  • Recommended: crm.objects.owners.read (owner lookups), crm.objects.tasks.write (for task creation)

Call logging proof points

  • Every call is associated to the Contact (and Company/Deal via your workflows), includes AI notes, and can surface recording + transcript once marked READY for HubSpot to fetch.

Spot Integration for My AI Front Desk Updated: December 12, 2025

Quickly connect My AI Front Desk to HubSpot to auto‑create/update contacts, log call activities with AI notes, attach recordings/transcripts, and (optionally) create follow‑up tasks.

At a glance

  • What syncs: Contacts (upsert), Calls (activities + recordings/transcripts), optional Tasks

  • Smart matching: Email, phone, or a unique Front Desk ID to prevent duplicates

  • Fast setup: OAuth in minutes; defaults work out of the box and are fully editable

  • Works with: HubSpot CRM objects (Contacts, Calls, Tasks) and Associations

Get started (3 steps) 1) In My AI Front Desk: Integrations → HubSpot → Connect, then complete the OAuth install for your portal. 2) Review deduplication (unique ID → email → phone) and confirm default field mappings. 3) Enable recordings/transcripts and task rules as desired, save, then place a test call to verify the timeline entry in HubSpot.

Note on scopes

  • Required: crm.objects.contacts.read, crm.objects.contacts.write (covers call creation; there is no separate calls write scope)

  • Recommended: crm.objects.owners.read (owner lookups), crm.objects.tasks.write (if task logging is enabled)

Troubleshooting highlights

  • No transcript? Ensure the recording endpoint returns an authenticated URL and is marked READY for HubSpot to fetch.

  • Disposition errors? Align hs_call_disposition values with options configured in your portal.

Why connect Hub

Spot to My AI Front Desk Integrate My AI Front Desk with HubSpot to automatically create or update contacts, log every inbound/outbound call with AI notes, attach recordings/transcripts, and (optionally) create follow‑up tasks. This guide covers scopes, setup, field mappings, deduplication, task policies, verification, and troubleshooting.

  • Works with HubSpot’s CRM Objects APIs for Contacts, Calls, and Tasks. Calls are stored as HubSpot call activities; recordings/transcripts use HubSpot’s Recordings & Transcripts APIs.

  • Contact upserts use HubSpot’s v3 batch upsert with idProperty (email or a custom unique property).

  • Tasks use the Tasks v3 API (Due date, Subject, Priority, Status).

For current plan availability and minute pricing, see Pricing and Features: Pricing · Features.

Prerequisites

  • HubSpot user with permission to install apps and write Contacts/Activities.

  • My AI Front Desk admin access.

  • OAuth install to your HubSpot portal with the following scopes granted:

  • Required: crm.objects.contacts.write, crm.objects.contacts.read (needed to create contacts and call activities). Note: a separate crm.objects.calls.write scope does not exist.

  • Recommended: crm.objects.owners.read (owner assignment), crm.objects.tasks.write (if task logging is enabled).

Setup (My AI Front Desk → Hub

Spot) 1) In My AI Front Desk, open Integrations → HubSpot → Connect and complete the OAuth flow in your HubSpot portal (select the target account). 2) Choose your deduplication strategy (see “Deduplication & upsert rules”). 3) Review the default field mappings (you can add overrides per property). See mapping tables below. 4) Decide whether to enable call recordings + transcripts sync (recommended), and select default follow‑up task rules. 5) Save. Place a test call; verify the contact, call, and (if enabled) task in HubSpot.

Data created/updated in Hub

Spot

  • Contact (create or update)

  • Call activity (with AI summary, timestamps, disposition, duration, direction, from/to numbers)

  • Recording + transcript (attached via HubSpot’s Recordings & Transcripts API)

  • Optional: Task (follow‑up), associated to the Contact (and Company if applicable)

Field mappings (default)

Contacts

My AI Front Desk field HubSpot object.property
Caller phone (E.164) Contact.phone
Caller mobile (if captured) Contact.mobilephone
Caller email (if captured) Contact.email
Caller first name (if parsed) Contact.firstname
Caller last name (if parsed) Contact.lastname
Lead source = “My AI Front Desk” Contact.lead_source (custom)
Front Desk Contact UID Contact.frontdesk_contact_uid (custom, can be set unique)

Calls (Activities)

My AI Front Desk field HubSpot Call property (examples)
Call start time hs_timestamp
AI call summary hs_call_body
Call title hs_call_title
Direction (Inbound/Outbound) hs_call_direction
Status (Completed/Missed/etc.) hs_call_status
Outcome/Disposition hs_call_disposition (value must match your portal options)
Duration (ms) hs_call_duration
From number hs_call_from_number
To number hs_call_to_number
Source hs_call_source = INTEGRATIONS_PLATFORM

See HubSpot’s default activity/call properties for allowable values and behavior.

Tasks (optional)

Trigger Task fields
Missed call or voicemail hs_task_subject = “Call back: {{contact.name}}” · hs_timestamp = next business day 9:00am (portal timezone) · hs_task_priority = HIGH · hs_task_body includes AI summary + link to recording
Qualified lead (per your rules) hs_task_subject = “Follow up: Qualified lead” · due today + 4h · medium priority

Use HubSpot Tasks v3 properties for Due date (hs_timestamp), Subject (hs_task_subject), Notes (hs_task_body), Priority, and Status.

Call recordings and transcripts

HubSpot deprecated the older hs_call_recording_url approach; use the Recordings & Transcripts API instead:

  • Register your app’s authenticated recording endpoint and log a call with required properties (hs_call_external_id, hs_call_source=INTEGRATIONS_PLATFORM, etc.).

  • Associate the call to the Contact.

  • POST “recording ready” to allow HubSpot to fetch the recording and process the transcript; the transcript appears on the call activity.

Implementation note: After creating the call (POST /crm/v3/objects/calls), associate it to the contact via the Associations API so timelines display the activity.

Deduplication & upsert rules

Recommended order (configurable): 1) Unique Front Desk ID (Contact.frontdesk_contact_uid) if present → upsert via idProperty=frontdesk_contact_uid. 2) Email → upsert via idProperty=email. 3) Phone (E.164) → search, then create if no single exact match.

Notes

  • HubSpot supports batch contact upsert with idProperty set to email or a custom unique property. Use this to avoid creating duplicates.

  • If you rely on phone-only matching, be aware that households/offices may share numbers and numbers can be reassigned. We recommend storing and using a stable unique ID (frontdesk_contact_uid) for long‑term merges and audits.

  • If you need a unique custom property for Contacts, HubSpot supports unique properties (limit applies). Confirm uniqueness when designing your schema.

Associations

  • Calls → Contact (always). Optionally to Company (by domain match when email exists) and to Deal/Ticket if a workflow in your portal subsequently associates them.

Owner assignment (optional)

  • If your routing rules determine an internal owner, My AI Front Desk sets hubspot_owner_id on the call and/or assigns the contact. Ensure you’ve granted the Owners read scope for lookups.

Verification checklist

  • Contact upserted (email or unique ID) and phone populated.

  • Call activity on the contact timeline with direction, duration, status, outcome, and AI summary present.

  • Recording playback and transcript appear on the call engagement.

  • If enabled: Task present with correct due date and owner.

  • Reports/Lists: filter by Source = “Integrations platform” or by your custom lead_source value.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing scope error during install: re‑authorize with crm.objects.contacts.write and crm.objects.contacts.read (there is no crm.objects.calls.write scope).

  • Call logged but no transcript: confirm you marked the recording as READY and your recording endpoint returns an authenticated URL as documented.

  • Task not created: ensure Tasks API access and mapping are enabled; Tasks v3 requires the contact write scope when creating tasks with associations.

  • Property validation or picklist errors: align hs_call_disposition and other enumerations with options configured in your HubSpot portal.

Security & compliance

  • Call recordings and transcripts may contain sensitive data. Review your organization’s policies before enabling recordings, and confirm whether HubSpot is an approved system of record for such content.

  • HubSpot’s Recordings & Transcripts API uses authenticated retrieval; ensure your endpoint enforces authorization and expiration as described in the docs.

API references used by this integration

  • Calls (create, associate), recordings & transcripts: HubSpot developers.

  • Default activity/call properties: HubSpot knowledge base.

  • Contacts: v3 batch upsert with idProperty.

  • Tasks: create/update properties, required scope.

  • Scopes note: no crm.objects.calls.write scope; use contacts scopes for call creation.

FAQs

  • Can I change the mapping? Yes. Admins can add or override mappings for any standard or custom property on Contacts and Calls.

  • Do you attach full transcripts to the call body? Transcripts are linked via HubSpot’s recording/transcription workflow; the AI summary goes in hs_call_body to keep timelines readable.

  • Do I need Sales Hub? The APIs referenced are generally available across HubSpot CRM; check your account’s API limits and feature availability for your tier.

  • Can I create Companies/Deals automatically? Yes—enable additional workflows in My AI Front Desk or HubSpot to create/associate Companies and Deals based on your rules.
