Hubspot Events

A ruby client for the Hubspot HTTP API.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'hubspot-events-ruby', github: 'advocately/hubspot-events-ruby'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself:

$ gem install https://github.com/advocately/hubspot-events-ruby

Usage

Before we get started: API client vs. JavaScript snippet

It's helpful to know that everything below can also be accomplished through the Hubspot JavaScript snippet.

Setup

Create an instance of the client with your hubspot organization id. You'll have to ask the support team what your ORG ID is.

hubspot = HubspotEvents::Client.new("YOUR ORG ID")

Identify a user

# Arguments
# attributes (required) - a hash of information about the customer. You can pass any
#                         information that would be useful in your triggers. You 
#                         must at least pass in an id, email, and created_at timestamp.

hubspot.identify(5,  {
  email: "[email protected]",
  created_at: customer.created_at.to_i,
  first_name: "Bob",
  plan: "basic"
})

Tracking an event

# Arguments
# user_id (required) - the id of the customer who you want to associate with the event.
# name (required)        - the name of the event you want to track.
# attributes (optional)  - any related information you'd like to attach to this
#                          event. These attributes can be used in your triggers to control who should
#                          receive the triggered email. You can set any number of data values.

hubspot.track(5, "purchase", { type: "socks", price: "13.99" })

Note: If you'd like to track events which occurred in the past, you can include a created_at attribute (in seconds since the epoch), and we'll use that as the date the event occurred.

hubspot.track(5, "purchase", type: "socks", price: "13.99", created_at: 1365436200)
