  1. 1

    Add the HubSpot Trigger node

    Start with a HubSpot Trigger node — connect your HubSpot app credential and set the subscription to contact.creation. This fires the workflow the moment a new contact arrives.

  2. 2

    Map the fields with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: email to {{ $json.properties.email }}, firstname to {{ $json.properties.firstname }}, and company to {{ $json.properties.company }}. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use.

  3. 3

    Send it to Airtable

    Add an Airtable node set to operation Create. Connect your Airtable token, pick the Base and Table, and map the fields from the Set node to your Airtable columns. Field names must match your table exactly.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right of the canvas. Trigger a test contact in HubSpot, then confirm it appears in Airtable. Once it works, you're done — every new contact now flows through automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any coding skills to set this up?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop tool. You connect your HubSpot and Airtable accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.

Can I send each contact to more than one place at once?

Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same contact lands in Airtable and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
