Connect for HubSpot
The Optimizely Connect for HubSpot add-on is part of Optimizely Connect for Marketing Automation, which connects HubSpot with Optimizely Forms, letting marketers collect visitor data, and pass that on to be used with HubSpot.
Prerequisites
- An Optimizely Content Management System (CMS) installation with Optimizely Forms and the required Marketing Automation connector components. See Optimizely Connect for Marketing Automation.
Install
Install the Connect for HubSpot MA connector through the NuGet package EPiServer.MarketingAutomationIntegration.HubSpot. See Add-ons platform compatibility for supported Optimizely versions.
Configure
To configure your Optimizely website to use HubSpot, you need a HubSpot license that provides you with a username, password, and company name. Configure the connection to send data from the form fields to HubSpot.
These configurations are described in HubSpot connector in the Optimizely User Guide.

Encrypt credentials
Credentials are encrypted and saved based on one of the following options:
MAICryptoKey
(AES encryption with a SHA256-computer hash based on the value of the key)machineKey
of the server inweb.config
.
Note
For DXP instances, use
MAICryptoKey
.
If you choose to use machineKey
configuration, you should specify a machineKey
in the web.config
of your site so that the same machine key is used on the new server when you deploy it to a different server.
Note
If you neglect to specify a
machineKey
in theweb.config
, the credentials are removed when the site on the new server is accessed for the first time, in which case you need to save credentials again through the configuration screen.
If the credentials are already encrypted using machineKey
in an existing site, and you add the MAICryptoKey
setting, then the credentials are deleted, and you must re-enter them.
Similarly, if the encryption uses MAICryptoKey
first and then you decide to use machineKey
encryption (by deleting the MAICryptoKey
setting), then the credentials are deleted and must be re-entered.
