You can connect HubSpot Custom Objects to trumpet to create pods directly from records stored in HubSpot. This allows teams to generate pods using objects beyond standard CRM records like Deals.
Once connected, pods created from custom objects behave the same way as pods connected to HubSpot Deals.
Connect a HubSpot Custom Object to trumpet
To start using a custom object in trumpet, you’ll first need to connect it in your HubSpot integration settings.
Steps
In trumpet, go to HubSpot Integration Settings
Open the Custom Objects tab
Click Add Custom Object
Map the required fields
Click Save configuration
Once saved, the custom object will be available when creating pods.
Configure Field Mapping
When connecting a custom object, you’ll need to map specific HubSpot fields so trumpet can correctly identify and display the record.
Required fields
Two fields must be mapped:
HubSpot Object ID
Automatically mapped by trumpet
Used to uniquely identify the record in HubSpot
Display Name
The primary label shown for the object in trumpet
Example: Portal Name
Optional fields
You can also map additional fields to enrich your pods:
Domain
If mapped, trumpet can automatically apply branding when generating the pod
Company information
Helps associate the object with the relevant company data
Create Pods from Custom Objects
After connecting a custom object, users can create pods directly from those records.
Example workflow
Create a new pod
Search for the HubSpot custom object
Select the relevant record (for example, a Portal)
Create the pod
The pod will then be linked to the selected custom object.
Pods created this way behave the same as pods connected to the HubSpot Deal object, allowing you to manage and update them within your existing workflow.
CRM Visibility & Activity Sync
When a pod is connected to a HubSpot custom object, trumpet activity will also be visible inside HubSpot.
Within the HubSpot custom object record, users will see:
The associated trumpet pod
A direct link to open the pod
trumpet activity cards, showing interactions and engagement related to the pod
This ensures teams working in HubSpot have full visibility into pod activity without needing to leave the CRM.
