COMPARISON
hapily with Zoom
vs. Zoom's HubSpot Integration Alone

Using Zoom alone leaves you without the data, automation, and follow-up workflows your event strategy depends on.

 

Using Zoom to run events while managing every other aspect of your event strategy in HubSpot? You’re likely stuck stitching things together and juggling links, syncing attendance, and guessing at ROI.

Zoom gets the session live, sure. But everything before and after? That’s on you.

hapily changes that by managing the full event lifecycle natively in HubSpot. Here’s how it compares to using Zoom alone and why pairing it with a native event management tool built for HubSpot just works better.

1. How does registration work?

HubSpot Forms or Workflows OR Zoom Registration pages will create registrants in HubSpot and Zoom as well.

YES! Built-in workflow actions let you register contacts for events automatically.

HubSpot Forms

hapily logo
