  15. Use the Custom fields for records section to automatically create custom fields for CRM records via API and push session data to those fields.

    IMPORTANT: Creating fields in the CRM is a one-way process and cannot be undone from the CCAI Platform portal.

  16. Click Save.

Data passed to the CRM

Once HubSpot has been integrated, the Admin Portal can pass call data to the CRM automatically.

This data is attached to the Call object in HubSpot by default and includes:

  • the call duration

  • a copy of the call recording (in .wav format)

The Call object also includes a description of the call at the top of the screen to describe what has been done, such as IVR call Completed.

You can select the outcome of the call such as Connected, No answer, or Left voicemail, using the Select an outcome dropdown at the top of the window.

The Call information is associated with the Contact record in HubSpot as well as either the Ticket or Deal object, depending on the configuration in the Admin Portal.

To see where else this information has been shared, click Associations.
