How to Connect Make.com to HubSpot in 2026: The Complete Guide
Manual data entry between systems wastes hours each week and leads to errors. This step-by-step guide shows you how to connect Make.com to HubSpot CRM in minutes, automating contact syncing, deal tracking, and more without writing any code. Stop copying data between apps and start automating your sales workflow today.
Why Connect Make to HubSpot?
Sales teams waste an average of 5 hours per week manually transferring data between systems. Every time a new lead comes in from a form, webinar, or meeting, someone has to copy their details into HubSpot. Deals get stuck because updates in one system don't reflect in another. The solution? Automating the connection between your apps.
Make.com (formerly Integromat) provides a visual workflow builder that connects HubSpot with thousands of other apps. Unlike simple Zapier connections, Make gives you advanced logic, data transformation, and error handling - all without writing code. By connecting Make to HubSpot, you can:
Key benefits: Eliminate manual data entry, reduce errors by 92%, trigger actions based on CRM changes, sync contacts/companies/deals automatically, and connect HubSpot to apps it doesn't natively integrate with.
Getting Started in Make.com
To begin, log into your Make.com account or sign up for a free trial. The platform uses a credit-based system, so simple HubSpot automations won't consume many credits. Once logged in:
- Click Create a new scenario from your dashboard
- Give your scenario a clear name like "HubSpot Contact Sync"
- The visual builder opens where you'll add apps and define data flow
At the 1:15 mark in the video tutorial, you'll see how to name your scenario for easy identification later. This becomes crucial as you build multiple automations.
Understanding the HubSpot Connector
Make.com offers a native HubSpot connector designed specifically for working with CRM objects. Unlike generic HTTP modules, this connector:
- Pre-maps all standard HubSpot fields (contacts, companies, deals, tickets)
- Supports custom properties you've added in HubSpot
- Handles associations between objects (contact-to-company, deal-to-contact)
- Includes built-in error handling for rate limits
To add HubSpot to your scenario, click the plus icon and search for "HubSpot CRM". You'll see two connector options - choose the one marked "HubSpot CRM" (not the legacy version).
Triggers vs Actions: Which to Use When
Make.com workflows begin with either a trigger (something happens) or an action (do something). For HubSpot integrations:
Start with a trigger when you want your automation to react to changes in HubSpot, like new contacts or updated deals. Start with an action when pushing data into HubSpot from another app.
Common HubSpot triggers include "New Contact", "Updated Deal", and "Added to List". Popular actions include "Create Contact", "Update Company", and "Add Deal". At 2:30 in the video, we demonstrate choosing between trigger-first and action-first approaches.
Authenticating Your HubSpot Account
The first time you add a HubSpot module, you'll need to authenticate the connection:
- Click "Add a connection" when prompted
- A secure window opens to hubspot.com - log in if needed
- Authorize Make.com to access your CRM data
- Select the correct portal if you manage multiple HubSpot accounts
This connection saves securely in Make.com and can be reused across scenarios. You only need to authenticate once per HubSpot portal.
Configuring HubSpot Modules
After authentication, configure your HubSpot module based on whether it's a trigger or action:
For triggers: Select the object (contact/company/deal) and set filters to specify which records should activate your workflow. For example, only trigger for contacts with "Lead Status = New".
For actions: Choose the operation (create/update/search) and map data from previous modules into HubSpot fields. Required fields are marked with an asterisk.
The video at 3:45 shows how to map a Google Sheets row to HubSpot contact fields, including handling custom properties.
Testing Your Workflow
Before activating your scenario, test it thoroughly:
- Click Run once to process a single execution
- Check the execution log for errors (red indicators)
- Verify the data appears correctly in HubSpot
- Adjust field mappings if needed
Pro tip: For triggers, create test records in HubSpot first. For actions, use sample data that matches your real workflow inputs.
Common Use Cases
Here are three powerful ways businesses use Make.com with HubSpot:
1. Contact Sync: Automatically add new leads from forms, webinars, or meetings to HubSpot with all their details mapped correctly. No more copy-paste.
2. Deal Automation: Update deal stages based on actions in other apps, like moving to "Closed Won" when a contract is signed in DocuSign.
3. List Management: Add/remove contacts from HubSpot lists based on their behavior in your app, website, or marketing emails.
At 5:20 in the video, we walk through building a real workflow that adds webinar attendees to a HubSpot list and sends them a follow-up email.

Triggers are events that start your automation, like when a new contact is created in HubSpot. Actions are operations Make.com performs, like creating a contact record.
When building HubSpot automations, you typically start with either a trigger (to react to HubSpot changes) or an action (to push data into HubSpot from another app). Many workflows combine both - reacting to a trigger then performing actions.
- Triggers watch for events (new contact, updated deal)
- Actions perform operations (create record, update field)
- Workflows often chain multiple actions after a trigger
