Use HubSpot's integration with SurveyMonkey

HubSpot's integration with SurveyMonkey allows you to use SurveyMonkey data in HubSpot to segment and qualify your contacts.

Install the SurveyMonkey integration

• In your HubSpot account, click the Marketplace icon marketplace in the main navigation bar. Under Manage, select Connected apps.
• In the upper right, click Visit App Marketplace.
• Use the search bar to locate the SurveyMonkey integration, then hover over the integration and click View integration.
• In the dialog box, click Connect to SurveyMonkey.
• Enter your SurveyMonkey credentials and click Log In. 
• On the next screen, click Authorize to give HubSpot permission to access your SurveyMonkey account.

Sync SurveyMonkey data to HubSpot

To sync data from an existing survey:

• In your HubSpot account, click the Marketplace icon marketplace in the main navigation bar. Under Manage, select Connected apps.
• Click SurveyMonkey.
• Click to toggle the switch on in the Sync column.

If you haven't created any surveys, you can create one from HubSpot:

• Click the Create your first survey on SurveyMonkey link to go to your SurveyMonkey account and set up a survey. You can collect survey responses in HubSpot with either an email invitation collector or a web link collector survey.

Syncing email addresses and names from survey respondents

• HubSpot collects a survey respondent's email address differently based on the survey type:

  • Email invitation collector surveys: you don't need to include an email address field in the survey. The user's email address is collected automatically when they click the survey link in the SurveyMonkey email.

  • Web link collector surveys: you must ask your respondents for their email addresses. There are two ways to collect their email addresses that will work with HubSpot:

    • Include a Contact Information question with the Email address field. The question can be added anywhere in your survey and the Email address field label can be in any language.

    • Include a Single Textbox question that asks your respondents for an email.

    • If you include both types of questions in one survey, HubSpot will sync the email address submitted to the Contact Information question. If your survey has multiple questions that ask for an email address, HubSpot will use the first email address to create a contact.

• HubSpot will also sync a survey respondent's name from a Contact Information question. If the respondent is a contact whose name already exists, the contact's name will not be updated.

Please note: HubSpot will not sync a respondent if their response is incomplete or they are disqualified.

When syncing is enabled for a survey, HubSpot will sync all existing data, along with any new respondent data. Any new email addresses will be created as new contacts in HubSpot. Existing contacts will have the survey data added to their contact record.

Responses will not update contact properties, but they will appear on the contact timeline. You can also view and segment the response data on individual contact records and in lists.

Once you've synced your SurveyMonkey surveys, survey responses will appear as activities on your contacts' timelines. If you have a SurveyMonkey Basic plan, the timeline event will show that the contact responded to the survey. If you have an annual paid SurveyMonkey plan, the timeline event will show a breakdown of your contacts' responses to specific questions.

• In your HubSpot account, navigate to Contacts > Contacts.
• Click the name of a contact.
• At the top of the contact's timeline, click Filter activity, then select the SurveyMonkey checkbox.  

Segment contacts based on SurveyMonkey activity in lists

• In your HubSpot account, navigate to Contacts > Lists.
• In the upper right, click Create list.
• In the upper left, click the pencil icon edit and name the list, then click the dropdown menu and select if it should be an Active list or Static list.
• In the Filters section, select SurveyMonkey surveys.
• Use the search bar to search for and select a survey, then select got a response or didn't get a response. 
• Click Apply filter. 

• You can further segment the list based on specific responses to the survey:
  • In the Filters section, select SurveyMonkey questions.
  • Select a question, then set the response criteria.
  • Click Apply filter. 
• Add additional criteria to your list if needed, then click Save at the top right.

Please note: the above segmentation criteria are not available in Marketing Hub Starter accounts.
