WPDM – HubSpot CRM Integration

WPDM – HubSpot CRM Integration connects WordPress Download Manager Pro with HubSpot CRM, automatically pushing leads collected through WPDM’s email lock feature directly into your HubSpot account. Every time a visitor submits their email to unlock a download, their contact information is synced to HubSpot in real time.

Key Features

• Automatic Lead Capture – Contacts are created or updated in HubSpot the moment a user submits the email lock form
• Smart Contact Sync – Searches for existing contacts by email before creating duplicates; updates existing records with the latest information
• Download Activity Notes – Logs each download as a timeline note on the contact record, including package name, date, and URL
• Contact List Assignment – Optionally add new leads to a specific HubSpot contact list (static/manual lists supported)
• Custom Field Mapping – Map any WPDM form field to any HubSpot contact property for complete data flexibility
• No Vendor Dependencies – Uses WordPress native HTTP functions (wp_remote_post / wp_remote_get) — no external PHP libraries or SDKs required
• HubSpot CRM v3 API – Built on the latest HubSpot API version for reliability and forward compatibility
• Private App Authentication – Secure Bearer token authentication using HubSpot Private Apps or the new Developer Projects platform

How It Works

1. A visitor fills out the email lock form on a WPDM package page
2. The plugin captures the submitted name, email, and any custom fields
3. It searches HubSpot for an existing contact with that email address
4. If found, the contact is updated; if not, a new contact is created
5. A note is added to the contact’s timeline with the package name and download date
6. Optionally, the contact is added to a selected HubSpot list
