Connecting InboundIQ to HubSpot

How to connect your InboundIQ account to HubSpot and export qualified leads as contacts, manually or automatically.

InboundIQ integrates with HubSpot so your qualified leads can be exported directly into your CRM — either on demand or automatically as new leads come in.

What this integration does

  • Connects your InboundIQ account to a HubSpot portal via OAuth

  • Exports qualified leads to HubSpot as contacts (name, email, job title, company data)

  • Supports two export modes: manual export and auto-export for future leads

It does not sync campaign activity, email engagement, or any other data — only qualified lead contact records.

Before you start

You'll need:

  • An active InboundIQ account

  • A HubSpot account where you have permission to authorize new app connections (Super Admin or equivalent)

Step 1: Start the connection

  1. Log in to InboundIQ at app.inboundiq.ai

  2. Go to Settings → Integrations

  3. Find the HubSpot card and click Connect

Step 2: Authorize with HubSpot

  1. You'll be redirected to HubSpot's authorization screen

  2. Select the HubSpot account (portal) you want to connect

  3. Review the requested permissions and click Connect app

  4. You'll be redirected back to InboundIQ, and the integration will show as Connected

No leads are synced automatically at this point — the connection just links the two accounts.

Step 3: Export leads to HubSpot

You have two options.

Manual export

From your Leads list in InboundIQ, select the qualified leads you want to send to HubSpot, then click Export to HubSpot. Selected leads will appear as new contacts in your HubSpot portal within a few minutes.

Auto-export (recommended for ongoing use)

Go to Settings → Integrations → HubSpot and toggle on Auto-export new leads. From that point forward, every new qualified lead InboundIQ finds will sync to HubSpot as a contact automatically — no manual action needed.

What gets synced

Each exported lead creates or updates a HubSpot contact with:

  • Name

  • Email

  • Job title

  • Company name and firmographic data (where available)

InboundIQ does not sync campaign activity, email opens or replies, or engagement history to HubSpot. It also doesn't modify or delete existing HubSpot contact fields outside of the ones it creates.

Disconnecting the integration

Go to Settings → Integrations → HubSpot and click Disconnect. This revokes InboundIQ's access to your HubSpot portal. Previously exported contacts remain in HubSpot.

Troubleshooting

I don't see my exported leads in HubSpot

  • Confirm the integration shows as Connected in InboundIQ settings

  • Check that you exported from the correct InboundIQ account to the correct HubSpot portal

  • Allow a few minutes for the sync to complete

I can't complete the HubSpot authorization step

  • Confirm you have Super Admin (or equivalent) permissions in the HubSpot portal you're trying to connect

  • Try disconnecting and reconnecting the integration
