Step-by-step guide
How to connect HubSpot to LinkedIn
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active HubSpot account with API access enabled
- An active LinkedIn account
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in HubSpot to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate HubSpot
Click "Add Connection" and select HubSpot from the app directory. You'll be redirected to HubSpot's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry read/write access to your contacts, deals, and pipeline data. You choose which objects the integration can access.
- Step 03
Authenticate LinkedIn
Same process for LinkedIn. Click "Add Connection," select LinkedIn, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry access to your campaigns, audiences, and analytics data. You control which lists and campaigns the integration can modify.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new contact created in hubspot or new subscriber in linkedin. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: add subscriber in linkedin. Map the data fields between HubSpot and LinkedIn so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between HubSpot and LinkedIn. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect HubSpot to LinkedIn?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both HubSpot and LinkedIn via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing crm events to marketing actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between HubSpot and LinkedIn?
Common workflows include: sync HubSpot contacts to LinkedIn email lists, trigger LinkedIn nurture sequences on HubSpot deal stage changes, update HubSpot lead scores from LinkedIn engagement data, and segment LinkedIn audiences by HubSpot deal properties.
Is the HubSpot and LinkedIn integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your HubSpot-to-LinkedIn workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my HubSpot data secure when connected to LinkedIn?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your HubSpot or LinkedIn passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your crm data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between HubSpot and LinkedIn?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either HubSpot or LinkedIn. For example, create a workflow where HubSpot events update LinkedIn, and a separate one where LinkedIn changes sync back to HubSpot. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect HubSpot and LinkedIn?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use HubSpot and LinkedIn, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
