HubSpot is an inbound marketing and sales software that helps companies attract visitors, convert leads, and attract customers. It includes all the tools you need to do inbound marketing: email, sites, SEO, Marketing Automation, Landing Pages, Analytics, Social Media, Blogging, and many more.

Update the HubSpot Contact Lifecycle Stage Property
The HubSpot lifecycle stage property allows you to track and manage your contacts based on where they are in the customer journey. This property lets you categorize the users as Subscribers, Leads, Marketing Qualified Leads, Sales Qualified Leads, Opportunity, Customers, and Evangelists, based on their engagement with your company. Essentially, by enabling this setting, you select whether the value of the Lifecycle Stage Property in HubSpot should change from 'Lead' to 'Customer' when a user becomes a paying customer in the school. You can find more information here.
Sync Contacts to HubSpot
Synchronizing your contacts to HubSpot is recommended only for the first time you set up the HubSpot integration (this action may take some time to complete so please be patient). You need to click on Sync your contacts with HubSpot button.
Enable Tracking Code
You can also enable the option to inject the HubSpot tracking code into your school’s website available for Pro trainer plans or higher.
The HubSpot tracking code allows the automated tracking of visitors, page views, and events on your website. It can also monitor the Contact/Lead Capture forms and collect the submitted data to create new Contacts in Hubspot. Read Track visitors in Hubspot and Set up site tracking in HubSpot for more information on what the HubSpot tracking code can help you achieve.
1. Navigate to your Hubspot account and copy this integration’s tracking code embed code in the appropriate text field. The embed code can be found under Settings → Account Setup → Tracking Code. You can find more information here.
2. Go to your LearnWorlds school, navigate to Settings → Integrations → CRM tools, and scroll down to the Enable Tracking Code option.
3. Paste the embed code. Click on Save to save your changes.
After adding the embed code, the system will keep only the field that is required to connect your school with your Hubspot account.
The tracking code can be used to update contacts’ data in HubSpot. You can always prevent contact properties from being updated by the tracking code API, by switching off the Allow tracked events to update contact properties option, in your Advanced Tracking settings.
What information is sent over to Hubspot?
- If you have activated Hubspot in your LearnWorlds school by connecting your HubSpot account and you have also enabled and injected the HubSpot tracking code, then LearnWorlds sends the following property to HubSpot:
1. User's email.
- If you activated HubSpot only by activating and injecting the tracking code, then LearnWorlds automatically sends the following custom properties to HubSpot:
1. learnworlds_username : the username of the user
2. learnworlds_user_id : a unique string that acts as an identifier for each user
3. learnworlds_optin : a string (of single line text field type) denoting whether the user has opted for receiving promotional material from the client. The property can get one of the following values:
- - , User did not opted in or out (default)
- YES , User opted in
- NO , User opted out
4. User's email.
In terms of leads captured by your school's popups and e-mail grabbers, LearnWorlds provides Hubspot with the First and Last name of the lead and their email. To send the first and last name of the lead to Hubspot, you will need to add the respective fields in your forms.
Adding the custom properties to your Hubspot account
To have the usernames and IDs of your School's users added to your list, navigate from your Admin menu to Contacts and click on Actions → Edit properties.
Click on Create Property.
There, you can add a new custom property by setting the Label field with the internal ID learnworlds_username. Choose the Object Type, Group, and Level and click on Next.
Choose the field type and click on Create.
You can follow the same procedure to add the user ID custom property by adding a new custom property and setting the Label field with the internal ID learnworlds_user_id, or the optin custom property, by adding a new custom property and setting the Label field with the internal ID learnworlds_optin.
You can find more information on how to create a new property here.
Once you create the custom property, navigate back to Contacts, click on Table actions → Edit columns.
Search by using the keyword learnworlds in the search bar, select the respective properties, and click on Apply.

Notes:
- If you have enabled the GDPR toolkit, your users will need to accept the targeting/ marketing cookies for them to be added to your HubSpot contacts upon Sign-Up.
- If you make any changes to an existing user's account, like changing their username, the user whose details have changed will need to sign in at least once after you have modified their information for the changes to cascade over to your HubSpot contacts.
