Installation

Install analytics and @analytics/hubspot packages

npm install analytics
npm install @analytics/hubspot

How to use

The @analytics/hubspot package works in the browser. To use, install the package, include in your project and initialize the plugin with analytics.

Below is an example of how to use the browser plugin.

import Analytics from 'analytics'
import hubSpotPlugin from '@analytics/hubspot'

const analytics = Analytics({
  app: 'awesome-app',
  plugins: [
    hubSpotPlugin({
      portalId: '234576'
    })
  ]
})

/* Track a page view */
analytics.page()

/* Track a custom event */
analytics.track('cartCheckout', {
  item: 'pink socks',
  price: 20
})

/* Identify a visitor */
analytics.identify({
  name: 'bob',
  email: 'bob@bob.com' // email is required
})

After initializing analytics with the hubSpotPlugin plugin, data will be sent into HubSpot whenever analytics.identify, analytics.page, or analytics.track are called.

See additional implementation examples for more details on using in your project.

Using identify

Important: HubSpot requires an email field for making identify calls.

If your identify call does not contain email HubSpot will not be notified of the new user.

When sending properties with identify calls, all camelCase traits are automatically converted to snake_case. There is one exception to this for firstName & lastName which are sent as firstname & lastname.

Example:

analytics.identify('user-xzy-123', {
  email: 'bill@murray.com',
  accountLevel: 'pro' // trait will be `account_level`
})
