HubSpot integration
Introduction
Connect My AI Front Desk to HubSpot so every call, text, and booking becomes structured CRM data. The integration can create or update Contacts and Companies, attach a call Task with the call summary and transcript URL, and optionally associate the activity to Deals. This helps small teams capture 100% of inbound demand without manual data entry while keeping owners informed via analytics and recordings/transcripts. 24/7 coverage, unlimited parallel call handling, and Zapier/CRM connectivity ensure nothing slips through the cracks.
References for capabilities: AI receptionist (24/7, unlimited concurrency, transcripts/links), native CRM/Zapier integrations, and pricing are documented on My AI Front Desk properties. See References at the end.

Deduplication rules (recommended)

-
Do not overwrite non-empty HubSpot fields unless the new value is verified by caller
Setup (native Hub
Spot integration) Prerequisites
-
My AI Front Desk Pro plan or higher (for 6,000+ integrations and advanced analytics)
-
HubSpot user with permissions to create Contacts, Companies, Activities, and custom properties
Steps 1) In My AI Front Desk, open Settings > Integrations > HubSpot > Connect account. Approve OAuth when prompted. 2) Create a custom Contact property for transcript links: Settings > Properties > Create property → Object: Contact, Group: Contact Information, Label: "Last call transcript URL", Internal name: frontdesk_last_call_transcript_url, Field type: Single‑line text. 3) In My AI Front Desk > Integrations > HubSpot, enable:
-
Create/Update Contacts
-
Create Tasks (type: Call) with transcript URL
-
Create/Associate Companies (optional)
-
Associate Tasks to active Deals when a match is found 4) Configure Owner assignment: choose round‑robin, static owner, or HubSpot owner mapped by routing logic. 5) Choose dedupe strategy: Email > Phone > Name+Company. Select "Protect non‑empty CRM fields" if you want HubSpot to remain source‑of‑truth for enriched data. 6) Test mode: toggle "Sandbox" to send records to your HubSpot sandbox (recommended). 7) Save and Run a live test call: call your My AI Front Desk number, provide name, email, and reason for calling. End the call. 8) Validate in HubSpot:
-
Contact created/updated
-
Call Task present with summary, outcome, transcript URL; associations correct
-
Company association (if applicable) 9) Switch off Sandbox when satisfied.
Alternative: Zapier workflow (for fine-grained control)
Use when you want custom branching, enrichment, or routing.
1) Trigger: My AI Front Desk — "Call completed" (or "New appointment booked"). 2) Find/Create Contact: HubSpot — "Find Contact" (by email/phone). If not found, "Create Contact". 3) Optional: Find/Create Company: HubSpot — map domain/name; associate to Contact. 4) Create Engagement: HubSpot — "Create Call Engagement" with:
-
Title, Outcome, Duration, Timestamp
-
Body: Call summary + transcript URL + recording link
-
Associations: Contact ID, Company ID, Deal ID (if found) 5) Optional steps: score lead, set Lifecycle stage/Lead status, add to sequence, notify Owner in Slack/Email.
Validations and QA
-
Field audit: confirm required HubSpot properties exist and are visible to editors
-
Data quality guardrails: enable phone normalization (E.164) and email validation in My AI Front Desk
-
UAT scenarios: new lead, returning customer, after‑hours voicemail, SMS-only inquiry, emergency keyword escalation
-
Rollback: disable "create" on Companies if domain parsing creates noise; leave association only
Security and compliance notes
-
My AI Front Desk logs calls, transcripts, and recordings; you can turn these off per number or restrict access via role-based permissions. See Privacy Policy.
-
Healthcare and other regulated uses: My AI Front Desk does not advertise HIPAA certification; avoid storing PHI unless you have a signed BAA and have validated your workflow. Consult counsel before syncing PHI into HubSpot.
Troubleshooting
-
Duplicate contacts created
-
Cause: inconsistent caller emails/phones
-
Fix: tighten dedupe to Email first; enable E.164 normalization; add a nightly HubSpot merge workflow
-
Missing transcript URL in Task
-
Cause: custom property not created or not mapped
-
Fix: create frontdesk_last_call_transcript_url in HubSpot and remap; re-run a test call
-
Tasks not associating to Deals
-
Cause: no match criteria
-
Fix: add step to search Deals by associated Contact; or pass dealId via Zapier when call references an open opportunity
-
Rate limits/OAuth errors
-
Cause: revoked token or HubSpot API limits
-
Fix: re-authorize integration; stagger high-volume backfills; use sandbox for testing

FAQs
-
Can I write the transcript URL to a Contact property and also the Task body?
-
Yes. Map to the custom property and include it in the Task body for quick access.
-
Can I disable call recordings but keep transcripts?
-
Yes. Configure per-number policies; transcripts/notes can remain while recordings are off.
-
How do I prevent overwriting enriched firmographics?
-
Enable "Protect non‑empty CRM fields" and only allow updates to a safe list (e.g., phone, last activity date).
