Creating Custom Objects in HubSpot for Personalized Video Creation

To begin, let’s create the custom objects required for the Pirsonal Personalized Videos application. Perform this task using HubSpot.

Follow these steps to create the first custom object:

1. In your HubSpot account, click the settings icon in the main navigation bar.
2. In the left sidebar menu, navigate to Objects > Custom Objects.
3. If this is your first custom object, click Create a custom object in the center of the page. If you are creating an additional custom object, click Create Custom Object in the top right.
4. You’ll need to create two Custom Objects:
   1. PirsonalVideoTemplate.
   2. PirsonalContactWorkflowResponse.
5. Let’s create the first one. In the right panel, set up your custom object by adding the information shown on the screen.
6. Type the singular Object Name: “PirsonalVideoTemplate”, and Type the plural Object Name: “PirsonalVideoTemplates”.

5. Add an extra secondary display property. Type “JSON Response”, and select the “Single-line text” property type.
6. Now, save this new custom object by clicking on Create.

Creating a Contact Property

Now that you’ve added the custom objects, let’s continue by adding a new contact information property. Although optional, this step is highly recommended.

Pirsonal’s personalized video software generates a distinct ID every time it creates a data-driven video for a contact in HubSpot.

The video ID is important for the URLs of the personalized landing pages, interactive video player, widget, and video file that Pirsonal creates for each contact.

To easily use personalized videos in emails or share them with other apps or integrations that work with HubSpot, Pirsonal adds this video ID to the contact’s information in HubSpot.

Pirsonal helps you select where to save the video ID when you create a video.

To create a video ID, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Contacts tabs and select “Contacts”
2. Click on the Actions dropdown menu and select “Edit properties”.
3. Click on the “Create property” button.
4. Choose “Contact” as the object type on the panel, then pick the “Contact information” Group, and enter the label you want for this property.
5. Click “next” and select the Field type “Single-line text”. And click next.
6. In the property visibility options, make sure this new property is shown in search results.
7. Now, click “Create” to save this new property.

Now, when configuring the video automation for your workflow, you’ll find this property on the Pirsonal Video ID dropdown menu.

Add Webhook to Template in Pirsonal

To make sure Pirsonal and HubSpot communicate when a video is created, you need to take one more step. You need to add a specific webhook URL to your personalized or interactive video templates in Pirsonal.

Webhooks are automated messages sent from apps when something happens.

Add the URL to the webhook field in your chosen template in Pirsonal: https://hubspot-thirdpartyapps.pirsonal.com/hubspot-api/pirsonal-webhook. See instructions on how to do this for your template tool on Pirsonal’s website.
