How to connect HubSpot to WhatsApp

The simplest way to use HubSpot from WhatsApp is Ugo, an AI assistant with its own WhatsApp number: switch on HubSpot on the Ugo portal, sign in with your HubSpot account and from then on you ask it about contacts, deals and tasks in the chat. Notes, tasks and stage changes only go ahead once you confirm.

Why connect HubSpot to WhatsApp

A CRM is only really useful if it’s up to date, but the moments when the information is fresh are the ones when you’re away from your computer: in the car after a visit, between calls, at a trade show. Opening HubSpot on your phone, finding the deal and filling in the fields is exactly what you put off.

With Ugo, HubSpot becomes a chat: “what do we know about Harper Associates?” before you go in, “add the note and move it to Negotiation” as soon as you come out, by voice note too. Ugo searches your CRM, answers in a few lines and, before changing anything, shows you what it’s about to do and waits for your “Confirm”.

How to connect HubSpot to WhatsApp, step by step

It takes a few minutes. You do the first two steps only once, then you connect as many apps as you like.

  1. 1

    Create your Ugo account

    Sign up at app.ciaougo.com with your email and password and enter your company name.

  2. 2

    Link your WhatsApp

    In Settings → WhatsApp, generate a code and send it in a chat to Ugo’s number: from then on Ugo recognises your number.

  3. 3

    Switch on HubSpot

    On the Ugo portal, open Skills and connect HubSpot.

  4. 4

    Sign in with HubSpot

    Choose your HubSpot account and authorise Ugo with the official sign-in, with no keys to copy. Accept all the permissions requested (contacts, companies and deals): without them, Ugo can’t use HubSpot.

  5. 5

    Message Ugo on WhatsApp

    Send “What tasks have I got today?” in your chat with Ugo: if it replies with your HubSpot tasks, the connection works.

What you can do with HubSpot on WhatsApp

Get ready before a visit

Ask for everything on a client: who the contact is, which deals are open, at what stage and for how much.

See where the pipeline stands

Ugo summarises deals by stage, with values and close dates, and tells you which ones have stalled.

Update the CRM as you leave

Dictate how it went: Ugo prepares the note, the follow-up task or the stage change and saves it once you confirm.

Log a new contact

Met someone at a trade show? Give Ugo their name, company and details: it first checks whether they already exist, then creates the contact.

The first messages to send

  • Which deals close this month?
  • What tasks have I got today?
  • What do we know about Harper Associates?
Ugoonline
  1. Which deals close this month?

  2. You’ve got 3 closing by the end of the month: • Harper Associates 2027 renewal, €6,400 (Proposal) • Taylor Engineering supply, €9,000 (Negotiation) • Robinson Interiors, €2,800 (Qualified)

  3. Create a task: call Taylor on Thursday about the contract

  4. I’ll create the task “Call Taylor about the contract” for Thursday, linked to “Taylor Engineering supply”. Shall I go ahead?

What Ugo doesn’t do (yet)

  • It doesn’t delete contacts, companies or deals.
  • It doesn’t send emails to your contacts from HubSpot.
  • It doesn’t change anything without your “Confirm”, and prepares one change at a time.

Other ways to connect HubSpot to WhatsApp

Ugo isn’t the only option. Here are the most common alternatives, and when they make sense.

Automations with Zapier or Make

They can send a WhatsApp message when something happens in HubSpot, such as a new deal, but you need the WhatsApp Business API and some set-up, and you can’t ask your CRM questions.

WhatsApp in the HubSpot inbox

HubSpot lets you connect a WhatsApp Business number to conversations, to message customers from the CRM. It’s for talking to customers, not for checking and updating the CRM from your phone.

The HubSpot mobile app

It puts the whole CRM in your pocket, but you have to open it and navigate it as on a computer: handy for looking things up, less so for quick updates.

Questions about HubSpot and WhatsApp

Can I connect HubSpot to WhatsApp for free?

Ugo also works with the free HubSpot CRM, but Ugo itself is paid: €50 a month per person (or €550 a year), excl. VAT, with HubSpot and every other app included.

Does Ugo change HubSpot without asking me?

No. Contacts, deals, notes, tasks and stage changes are shown to you first, and Ugo only saves them after you tap “Confirm”.

Can Ugo see my colleagues’ deals?

Ugo works with the permissions of your HubSpot user: it sees what you see. When you ask for “your” deals, it filters the ones assigned to you.

Can I disconnect HubSpot?

Yes, at any time from the Skills page on the portal: access is revoked immediately.
