Creating or Updating a Form in HubSpot

Before making a Form in Hubspot: CHECK THAT ONE DOES NOT ALREADY EXIST. Many guides already exist and will have existing forms associated.

Creating a Form: Via Legacy Editor Interface

STEP 1: Make the form

  1. Log into HubSpot.

  2. From the top menu, click Marketing, then Forms.

  3. You can either Clone an existing form from here, or click Create form in the top right.

    1. If making from scratch: Choose the Legacy Form Editor interface, click Next.

    2. Select Blank template.

STEP 2: Build the form

  1. Drag and drop fields from the left sidebar into your form layout.

    1. Use standard fields or create custom ones as needed (be careful, these will exist forever).

    2. Click on each field to edit its label, options, and required status.
  2. Click the Style & Preview tab to check how your form will appear on different devices.

  3. Click the Options tab at the top to edit:

    1. The thank you message that shows once the form is submitted, or redirect URL.

    2. Form submission notifications: This list of email addresses is who receives an email alert when a form submission is received.

^ If someone needs to be alerted when a form is submitted, this is where you add them.


STEP 3: Set up a simple workflow to make tasks and assign to writer

  1. Click Automation tab, and select "Create your own simple workflow" and follow the prompts to set up your workflow.
  2. Choose the trigger - A contact has submitted a form. Click create. 
  3. Where it says 'Unnamed workflow' rename the workflow to the same as your Form Title
  4. Scroll down in the workflow window, and click the + button below the first box.
  5. A sidebar will appear on the left. Under CRM, select Create Task.
  6. Click on the Task step that has appeared in the workflow and set a Task Title.
    1. The task title should be descriptive and include a data token (usually company name) to show the related company or contact.
    2. For example for guide submission forms, the Task Title should be the name of the guide: "2026 Bastille Day Guide Submission - Company Name"
  7. Set the task's due date to immedietly.
    1. Set an email reminder for 'custom date' for 1 day after the form submission, business days only. 
  8. You can add specific notes or instructions in the Task Description section if necessary.
  9. Under 'Associate new task with' choose records to associate with, and select 'All Associated Tickets' and add another association, and under tickets, select "Primary Contact".
    1. This means the task will be added to any Ticket that the contact is a primary contact on.
  10. Add to Shared Task Queue.
    1. All tasks NEED a queue, so we can properly filter tasks.
    2. Guide Submission Form tasks should go in the "Guide" queue.
  11. The Priority field should be set to High
  12. Assign the task to Specific User, then whichever writer is listed to write this specific guide in Notion.
  13. Click "Save" at the top of the left hand column.
  14. Toggle the switch at the top of the workflow window to "ON" (next to actions)
  15. Click Update in the top right corner once everything is set, then click Publish.
  16. After publishing, go to the Share Link tab on the pop up that appears and copy the form url. From here, you can put the link where needed.
