The Primary Contact HubSpot Integration is a panel in the HubSpot CRM that displays the Primary Contact, for a Company, with a link to the Primary Contact. You can select any Contact “associated” with the Company to be the Primary Contact.

Why we created the Primary Contact HubSpot Integration

Our first HubSpot client asked “How do we set the Primary Contact for an organisation?”.  I replied “I don’t know – I will find out…”.

I couldn’t figure it out so I contacted HubSpot Support.

Their suggestion was to type the name and email of the Primary Contact into a Custom Field in the Company. You can imagine the emojis I wanted to use for that reply.

You know how hard it is to keep your CRM data clean and tidy – copy and pasting or typing names and email addresses is not a sensible workaround.

So, we coded our own solution.

Years later – two major rebuilds – and we’re now at Version 4.

Because there are so many requests in the HubSpot Community Forum that we decided to release the product to the HubSpot Community with starter, basic, and professional subscriptions available.

We’ve recently purchased your primary contact integration (what an absolute godsend!) After wasting weeks trying to hack around it with workflows that didn’t quite do what we wanted, I googled and found you. The integration is perfect and works just how we need it to.

Here’s what Version 4 does:

See the Primary Contact in a HubSpot CRM Panel

From the Company view you, and your team, can see the Primary Contact in the CRM Panel. And, there’s a link (that opens a new tab) to show the Primary Contact in HubSpot.

You can drag and drop the panel if you want it at the top of the right column.

Set Primary Contact for a Company

Use the “Actions” in the HubSpot CRM Panel to select a Primary Contact.

When you click “Select Primary Contact” you can choose from a list of Contacts “associated” with the Company. The Contacts you can select is restricted to people “associated” with the Company so you can’t accidentally add someone from another Company.

When you save the Primary Contact you will see a confirmation screen showing you the changes (if another Contact was the Primary Contact you will see a confirmation showing the change).

Use Primary Contact Personalisation Tokens in Email Templates

The Primary Contact information is stored in the Company Record which means you can access the Primary Contact’s first name, last name and email and tokens in an email.

This is useful if you want to email a Contact at the Company and you want them to Contact the Primary Contact.

Smart List of Primary Contacts

The Primary Contact Property, in the Contact, means you can use Smart Lists to keep a list of Primary Contacts that’s automatically updated.

For Professional Subscribers the Smart Lists will automatically be set up when you install the HubSpot Integration.

You can also use filters, in Contacts or Companies, to find Primary Contacts.

Use Primary Contacts in Workflows

For HubSpot Marketing Professional, or HubSpot Marketing Enterprise customer you can use Primary Contacts in Workflows. You can use any of the Properties in the Company or the Contact in your Workflow and you can use the Personalisation Tokens too.

Set Accounts Contact for a Company

Use the “Actions” in the HubSpot CRM Panel to select an Accounts Contact.

When you click “Select Accounts Contact” you can choose from a list of Contacts “associated” with the Company.

When you save the Accounts Contact you will see a confirmation screen showing you the changes (if another Contact was the Accounts Contact you will see a confirmation showing the change).

Smart List of Account Contacts

The Accounts Contact Property, in the Contact, means you can use Smart Lists to keep a list of Accounts Contacts that’s automatically updated.

For Professional Subscribers the Smart Lists will automatically be set up when you install the HubSpot Integration.

You can also use filters, in Contacts or Companies, to find Accounts Contacts.

Use Account Contacts in Workflows

For HubSpot Marketing Professional, or HubSpot Marketing Enterprise customer you can use Accounts Contacts in Workflows. You can use any of the Properties in the Company or the Contact in your Workflow and you can use the Personalisation Tokens too.

Tamper Alert on data

You know what it’s like when you let everyone into a clean data set – some people like to fiddle (they know who they are). With the Tamper Alert you can see when people have manually changed any of the Primary Contact fields, or Accounts Contact fields, in the Company.

A warning is displayed to let you know it’s been manually changed and instructions are shown so you can see the correct way to set the Primary Contact or Accounts Contact.

Easy Cancel Policy

Personally I get annoyed when companies charge my card after the subscription ends, sneak in additional charges, or make it impossible to cancel. That’s why we have an Easy Cancel Policy so you can cancel at any time.
