Benefits of Integrating HubSpot with Google Drive: What Tasks Can Be Automated?

By integrating the CRM (Customer Relationship Management) focused marketing platform HubSpot with the cloud storage service Google Drive, you can manage customer and transaction information more efficiently.

The smooth sharing and centralized management of this information benefit various roles, from sales, marketing, and customer support personnel to project managers.
Let's take a closer look at the benefits of integration and examples of workflows that can be automated through integration.

Benefit 1: Streamlined Document Management

You can automatically create folders in Google Drive based on customer and transaction information from HubSpot.

For example, you can automatically create a folder in Google Drive when a transaction is updated in HubSpot.
By linking the folder name to transaction-related information, team members won't be confused about where to save or access related documents.
Proper management of documents for each customer or transaction leads to more efficient data management within the documents.

Benefit 2: Centralized Data Management and Smooth Sharing

You can automatically create data from HubSpot information and save the data files to Google Drive.
This is an example that can be achieved by integrating with Google Sheets in addition to the two tools.

For instance, when a form is submitted by a customer on HubSpot, you can transfer and save the form contents to a specified Google Sheet saved in Google Drive. You can create data in any format that suits your business, such as extracting necessary information from the form contents and listing it.
Additionally, for customer and transaction information, you can similarly automate data creation and saving at the time of new registration or updates.

The automatic synchronization of necessary data brings benefits such as reducing the time for re-entry and verification tasks and preventing errors.
Centralized information management and smooth information sharing will also improve the efficiency of subsequent tasks.

10. Configure the API connection settings.
・Folder Name: You can set this as you like. (It is recommended to include information such as deal name, deal ID, stage, and date using the output obtained in Step 2.)

11. Conduct a test, confirm success, and click "Save".

Finally, switch the trigger of the saved flow to "ON" to activate it.

This completes the flow to create a folder in Google Drive when a deal is updated in HubSpot.
If you want to create folders per customer instead of per deal, you can also try creating a flow by changing the trigger condition to customer information creation or update.

Other Business Flows That Can Be Automated with HubSpot and Google Drive Integration

There are other business flows that can be automated by integrating HubSpot and Google Drive, but here we introduce two integration flows with other tools.

When a Form is Submitted to HubSpot, ChatGPT Automatically Creates a Ticket

This is a business flow that can be automated by integrating HubSpot and ChatGPT.
When a form is submitted by a customer in HubSpot, a ticket in HubSpot is automatically created based on the response results generated and analyzed by ChatGPT.
This allows for quick responses to inquiries, making it useful for a wide range of operations such as customer support, sales, and marketing.
Additionally, it is possible to further integrate with Google Sheets or Google Drive to add operations. By listing the contents of inquiries and responses on a spreadsheet and saving it to Google Drive, smooth information sharing among stakeholders can be achieved.

Notify Slack When a Specific File is Created or Updated in Google Drive

This flow notifies Slack when a specific file is newly saved or updated in Google Drive, with confirmation from the person in charge. When information is updated in the same file as part of some routine work, stakeholders can be informed of the updates. For example, it can be used for the following purposes:

  • When a new order is received, the sales representative enters the order information into the file, and after the supervisor's confirmation, the information is promptly shared with team members.
  • Upon hiring, the HR representative adds employee information to the file, and after confirmation by the general affairs department, the information is shared with other stakeholders.

By automating this series of processes, you can eliminate the hassle of manual input and communication. This leads to smoother situation awareness and subsequent processing, thereby improving operational efficiency.

Summary

Integrating HubSpot with Google Drive streamlines document and data management related to customers and deals. Automatic data synchronization leads to centralized information management and smooth sharing, which can enhance the productivity of the entire team. By using Yoom, you can easily build integration flows without any coding, so be sure to try other integrations and automations as well! Continue to automate related tasks to improve overall operational efficiency.

Until now, I have experienced office work at specialized trading companies and in the EC industry. The work I was in charge of covered a wide range of tasks, such as sales office work, accounting, general affairs, human resources, and legal affairs. We worked to improve the efficiency of individual tasks, but I think the work could proceed more conveniently by using various support tools and Yoom... I would be happy if I could send out an introduction article on Yoom that makes use of my work experience and help everyone proceed smoothly with their work.
