API request for posting form data (Deals/Contacts) to Hubspot CRM
Hi there!
Issue: I currently have a multi-step form built with Formly in Webflow. The form submissions are supposed to be sent to our HubSpot CRM as both deals and contacts. However, our existing solution, which relies on Webflow logic, isn't reliable. We encounter issues such as duplicate leads, incomplete submissions, and failed placements.
Goal: I'm seeking a more dependable solution that not only ensures accurate data transfer but also allows for error tracking and, if possible, the implementation of a retry mechanism. I've heard about Postman and wonder if it can assist in achieving this.
Question: Does anyone have recommendations on how to create a reliable solution while staying within the Webflow environment? I'd like to maintain the ease of use offered by Webflow while addressing these issues.
Maybe someone could find a way to do this or where the way could fit some of the goals.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Jakob

@jakobvarenbud I've had luck with the Hubspot pixel embed automatically pushing form data actually but I found when I used formly it didn't work! I mentioned this to Vimalan a few months back but not sure if he corrected it. I ended up writing the form code myself.
If webflow logic isn't working then I recommend Make as an alternative.
If you are comfortable with code you can use javascript's fetch api to send your form data. Finsweet has a form override attribute that is basically a wrapper for the fetch api that might work for you too, though I'm not sure how your multistep form is setup. All of this might not integrate well with formly though.
Thank you for reaching out!
Will keep you updated how I got the soloution here. I dont want to use tools like Zapier or Make, beacause by scaling the costs for that could be very high.
So I am trying to build something coded here, I think.
Will let you know and keep you updated how that goes!
