How to Add HubSpot SMS Timeline Events to the Contact Record

How to turn on HubSpot timeline events on the contact record when a text message is sent or received

Overview

HubSpot SMS timeline events will record every sent and received text message to a contact. These are an optional (but recommended) Sakari HubSpot integration setting.

Troubleshooting

If you're not seeing HubSpot timeline events but expect to, be sure to confirm: 

1. That the integration setting has been turned on (step #1 below).
2. That the Sakari integration has been filtered on in HubSpot on the contact record (step #2 below).
3. That you don't have duplicate contacts with the same phone number in HubSpot (do a search in HubSpot for the phone/mobile phone number). 

Setting up SMS Timeline Events

Step 1

In your Sakari account, go to Integrations > HubSpot in the left navigation.  Confirm (or turn on) the Timeline events toggle.  Save.

Step 2

In HubSpot, navigate to any contact record.  Click the Filter activity link in the top menu.

Ensure that the Sakari SMS option has been turned on under Integrations.
