Connecting to HubSpot using the Client-Side APIs
Brightcove Campaign can be configured to integrate with HubSpot. When the integration is configured, video engagement data for videos published using Brightcove Campaign is synchronized to HubSpot. Once in HubSpot, this data can be used for segmentation, campaign logic, reports, lead scoring, and personalizing communications.
Some of the key features of the Video Cloud - HubSpot integration are:
- Data format - Viewing data is delivered as a custom Timeline Event Type. The data that is replicated to HubSpot is as follows:
- Video Name
- Video ID
- Account ID (Video Cloud)
- Page URL (URL of the referring page)
- Player ID (Video Cloud player)
- % Watched (25%, 50%, 75%, 95%)
- Data transfer - Viewing data is sent to HubSpot using an automated process; however, some reports in the HubSpot platform may take some time to refresh
- Data retention - Data collected can optionally be retained in Brightcove Campaign for up to 1 month
