How to Use the Hubspot Slack Integration

Connecting Hubspot with Slack lets your team receive CRM notifications, share records, and collaborate on deals without leaving your channels. This guide walks you through installing the integration, configuring notifications, and using all key features based on the official Slack integration documentation.

What the Hubspot and Slack Integration Can Do

Once set up, the integration between Hubspot and Slack helps your team work faster by bringing CRM data into Slack. You can:

• Receive alerts about new records, form submissions, and more.
• Send Hubspot notes, tasks, and tickets from Slack.
• Search and preview CRM records directly in your channels.
• Create follow-up work from conversations with one click.

Before you begin, make sure you have the right user permissions in both tools and that your Slack workspace allows new apps.

How to Install the Hubspot Slack Integration

Follow these steps to connect Hubspot and Slack for your workspace:

1. In your Hubspot account, go to your settings and open the Integrations or Connected Apps section.

2. Select Slack from the available apps or visit the official integration instructions on the Hubspot knowledge base at this Slack integration guide.

3. Click Connect app. A Slack authorization window will open.

4. Choose the correct Slack workspace from the dropdown if you belong to more than one.

5. Review the required permissions, then click Allow to complete the connection.

After authorization, you should see Slack listed as a connected app inside Hubspot. You can now configure notifications and features for your team.

Configuring Hubspot Notifications in Slack

The integration can post automated updates from Hubspot into Slack channels or direct messages. Typical notification types include:

• New form submissions.
• New contacts or companies created.
• Ticket updates for support teams.
• Workflow-based alerts and assignments.

Set Up Channel Notifications from Hubspot

To send CRM notifications from Hubspot into specific Slack channels:

1. In Hubspot, open the settings for the object or tool you want to monitor (for example, tickets or conversations).

2. Locate the section for Slack notifications or channel subscriptions.

3. Select the Slack channel where alerts should appear.

4. Choose what types of events trigger messages, such as “ticket created” or “conversation assigned”.

5. Save your settings to activate the channel notifications.

Use different channels for different teams so you can keep sales, marketing, and support updates organized.

Receive Personal Hubspot Alerts in Slack

You can also send personal notifications from Hubspot to Slack via direct messages:

1. In your user profile notification settings inside Hubspot, look for Slack as a delivery channel.

2. Connect your Slack user if prompted and verify the workspace.

3. Enable the notification types you want to receive, such as task assignments or @mentions.

4. Save changes so new alerts route to your Slack DMs.

This keeps you updated on urgent activity even when you are not logged into your CRM.

Using Hubspot CRM Records Inside Slack

Once the integration is active, Slack can display rich previews of Hubspot records and allow you to take quick actions.

Share Hubspot Records to Slack Channels

To post a CRM record into a Slack conversation:

1. Open a contact, company, deal, or ticket record in Hubspot.

2. Look for the Send to Slack or Slack share option in the record sidebar.

3. Select the Slack channel or user you want to share the record with.

4. Add an optional message to give context.

5. Click Send. A rich card with record details will appear in Slack.

From Slack, your teammates can quickly see key fields, follow links back to Hubspot, and collaborate in the channel thread.

Search Hubspot Records from Slack

The integration also lets you search Hubspot directly from Slack using slash commands (exact syntax depends on the installed app version). Typical steps include:

1. In any Slack channel or DM, type the appropriate slash command followed by your search term, such as a contact name or company.

2. Select the matching record from the results shown in Slack.

3. Preview the record or post it to the channel for your team to review.

This saves time switching between tools and keeps collaboration centered in Slack while still using Hubspot as your system of record.

Create Hubspot Tasks and Tickets from Slack

When conversations in Slack reveal follow-up work, you can log it as structured CRM data without leaving the channel.

Log Tasks to Hubspot from Messages

To create a new task in Hubspot using a Slack message:

1. Hover over the relevant message in Slack.

2. Open the message’s More actions menu.

3. Choose the option to create a Hubspot task (action label may vary slightly based on the app version).

4. Fill in task details such as title, due date, and owner in the dialog that appears.

5. Associate the task with an existing contact, company, deal, or ticket where applicable.

6. Confirm to save the task to Hubspot.

The task will now appear in the CRM with a reference to the original Slack conversation for context.

Open Support Tickets in Hubspot from Slack

Support and success teams can create tickets from Slack messages as well:

1. Find the message that describes an issue or request.

2. Use the message action to create a Hubspot ticket.

3. Specify ticket properties such as pipeline, status, priority, and owner.

4. Link the ticket to the correct contact or company if known.

5. Save the ticket so it enters your Hubspot ticket pipeline.

This process ensures that important customer issues mentioned in Slack are captured and tracked in your support workflows.
