“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
When forms don’t collect contact information like email addresses or names, HubSpot’s standard export and integration tools face significant limitations. The platform’s native Google Sheets connector requires contact associations to function, and manual exports can be time-consuming and inconsistent for ongoing analysis needs.
You can set up automated exports that work independently of contact information collection.
Enable contact-independent export capabilities using Coefficient
Coefficient addresses this gap with contact-free data access. It imports form entries based on form submission activity rather than contact creation, ensuring you capture all responses regardless of whether contact information was provided.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up contact-free data access.
Connect to HubSpot through Coefficient and select “Form Submissions” instead of “Contacts” as your data source. This pulls data based on submission activity rather than contact records.
Step 2. Configure automated export scheduling.
Set up recurring exports hourly, daily, or weekly to automatically transfer new form entries to Google Sheets. This eliminates manual intervention and ensures consistent data flow without contact requirements.
Step 3. Capture complete submission data.
Import all form fields including text responses, multiple choice selections, file uploads, and hidden fields. Coefficient captures this data even when no contact information exists, providing complete submission records.
Step 4. Include valuable submission metadata.
Import submission timestamps, referring URLs, device information, and form completion rates that aren’t tied to contact properties. This metadata provides valuable context for analyzing form performance and user behavior.
Step 5. Organize data flexibly.
Use Coefficient’s field selection and mapping features to organize non-contact form data in Google Sheets according to your analysis needs. Create custom column arrangements that make sense for your reporting requirements.
Step 6. Access historical data for comprehensive analysis.
Import historical form submissions that lack contact information, ensuring comprehensive data coverage for trend analysis and reporting. This gives you a complete picture of form engagement over time.
Transform manual exports into automated data pipelines
This approach converts sporadic manual exports into a reliable, automated data pipeline for forms that intentionally avoid contact collection. Get started with Coefficient to automate your form data exports.
