WordPress User Registration with HubSpot Forms

    I have a website that needs to use ONLY Hubspot generated forms because we’re registering the submissions in Hubspot and SalesForce.

    Well right now we’re creating a “hidden” area for users only. The problem is using the Hubspot forms to register new users in WordPress.

    From my understand, I have to not only have two actions on the form but also keep the names on the input fields (user_name and user_email). Unfortunately, the Hubspot forms need to have a specific name for the submissions to register in Salesforce and Hubspot.

    Any advice?

    Hi Aikyrie —

    It seems like the issue can be solved by using your own forms in WordPress to register users as you’ve noted, and then passing them along to HubSpot as well via a simple API call. This process is documented on this page is is used by many of our customers:

    Let me know if there are further questions with this, thanks!

    Thanks Adrian! But the problem is getting the forms to go through to Salesforce. Both WordPress and Salesforce require you to have a unique input name.

    Ah, HubSpot can take care of the Salesforce piece. Do you have your HubSpot portal integrated with SFDC? If so, as long as leads are being passed to HubSpot, they’ll get into SFDC as well.

    Well in order to get it to Salesforce you have to use Salesforces input names, otherwise all the data you want people to submit won’t go through. For example, if I wanted someone’s job title, I would have to use Salesforce’s ID.

    I was told if I wanted certain information, I would have to create the field in Salesforce and then create the form in Hubspot.

    If I don’t keep the names, I have to manually submit it to SF which I don’t want to do.

    Ah, I think I see your issue. You do need to create the field in SF first. Once you create the field, you can grab the “API Name” of the field from SF and use that as your field “name” (literally, the name attribute in the HTML of your form). There’s more detail on this here: http://help.hubspot.com/articles/How_To_Doc/Can-I-pass-custom-fields-from-my-forms-into-Salesforce

    lol I’m sorry Adrian.

    I know how to do it, but the problem is getting the user registered in WordPress while submitting the submission to Salesforce. BOTH require a unique input name.

    For example, if I want to register the user in WordPress my input would have to be:
    <input name=”user_name” />

    If I want the information to go to Salesforce, it would have to be:
    <input name=”Sfdc_user_name_c” />

    I can’t have both, it has to be one or the other.
