[HubSpot Connect] - Beacon Integration

HubSpot has welcomed Beacon to the HubSpot Connect family of integrations.

What’s Beacon do?

Beacon converts blog posts into professionally designed downloadable content like eBooks in seconds.

You can Learn more at Beacon.by or through this video.

How does Beacon integrate with HubSpot?

With the integration, HubSpot blog posts automatically pull into Beacon. Allowing you to create content through Beacon on the fly. The two systems share information back and forth, keeping everything all-in-one.

How to get started:

HubSpot customers who already have Beacon can connect it to HubSpot through this page. If customers would like to learn more about what Beacon does and how the integration works, check out the Beacon integration page. The integration and Beacon are free, but they do have a freemium model with paid options.

Support:

This integration is built and supported by Beacon. Customers can reach out to them for support.

HubSpot Wish List

A/B Testing Forms

There currently isn't a way to A/B test forms. I'm assuming other users out there would be interested in A/B testing whether or not certain fields create higher form submission drop off than others.
