Imagine potential clients for your product or service chatting with a bot on your website, leaving their contact information, which is automatically transferred to your CRM system so that the appropriate sales representative can contact them directly. With Watson Assistant<\/a> and HubSpot CRM<\/a>, this is possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(All documentation for this tutorial, as well as the code, is available here on GitHub<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HubSpot CRM is a tool that includes for instance a reporting dashboard, prospect and deal tracking, pipeline management and other features. It also offers a REST API for the CRM<\/a> and can therefore be integrated with Watson Assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watson Assistant itself connects to all kinds of information, applications and agent platforms<\/a> to resolve customer issues fast. There is another blog article on how to connect Watson Assistant to Jira Software<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start with the hands-on part and connect Watson Assistant to the HubSpot CRM system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven\u2019t done so already, sign up for an IBM Cloud account<\/a>. (All documentation for this tutorial, as well as the code, is available here on GitHub<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a Cloud Function on the IBM Cloud and provide the Node.js code from GitHub<\/a>. In the code you need to provide your HubSpot API key \/ hapikey. Save the function and click Invoke with Parameters, provide the corresponding parameters as indicated on GitHub<\/a> and click Apply, then click Invoke. Results are shown in the Activations pane. In your HubSpot CRM system your new contact should be created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now you can go to \u201cEndpoints\u201d, enable your Cloud Function as a Web Action and provide the endpoint in your Watson Assistant, under Options and then select Webhooks. Make sure to add a .json<\/code> at the end. (All documentation for this tutorial, as well as the code, is available here on GitHub<\/a>.) On GitHub a json-Skill is included, which you can import directly into your Watson Assistant Dialog skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we’re ready to go! Now you can create your first contact via Watson Assistant and see how the new contact automatically appears in your HubSpot CRM.
