While HubSpot is a goldmine of information on every customer interaction, it might be more convenient to analyze your data outside of this CRM app. For example, you can create advanced reports in Looker Studio and combine your HubSpot data with customer information collected from other apps. Learn different ways to connect HubSpot to Looker Studio and get your data ready for analysis.
Methods to connect HubSpot and Looker Studio
Looker Studio does not provide a native HubSpot connector. In this case, you can either manually export/import data or connect HubSpot to Looker Studio using a partner connector.
Partner connector by Coupler.io
Coupler.io is a reporting automation platform that lets you connect HubSpot to Looker Studio and turn on scheduled updates. This means your HubSpot data will be regularly sent to Looker Studio automatically on a schedule. And all this with no manual effort at all. The partner Looker Studio connector saves you a lot of time and improves efficiency, which allows you to optimize costs as well.
Coupler.io supports many destinations for your choice, for example, you can connect HubSpot to Power BI or export data from HubSpot to BigQuery.
In addition to automating data exports, Coupler.io provides ready-to-use dashboard templates for HubSpot, so you can jump-start your reporting in minutes.
Transfer HubSpot data manually
Strictly speaking, with this method, you don’t create a connection between HubSpot and Looker Studio. However, it’s a simple and free way to get your data from one app into the other. The process for manual data transfer is pretty straightforward: you simply download data from HubSpot as a CSV file and upload it to Looker Studio.
While this free option gives you full control, this manual process takes up a lot of time, especially if you need to export a lot of data regularly. If you want to keep your visualization in Looker Studio up to date, you will need to continue exporting and importing fresh data again and again.
There is also a third method that we omitted – a custom API integration. However, programming the connection between HubSpot and Looker Studio requires strong technical skills and research of both tools’ APIs.
How to connect HubSpot to Looker Studio with the partner connector by Coupler.io?

- Blend data from different HubSpot accounts or different CRMs into one dataset
Step 3. Load data and schedule refresh
When your dataset is ready, it’s time to load it to Looker Studio where you can create a report. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your Looker Studio account and create a new data source. It can take a few minutes for large datasets. As the final action, press Create report in the top right corner.
Then, go back to Coupler.io, toggle on the ‘Automatic data refresh’ feature and specify your schedule preferences for extracting fresh HubSpot information.

How to connect HubSpot to Looker Studio manually?
The manual transfer method is simple and can be done in a few steps. But, as we already mentioned, it is not exactly a real-time connection between HubSpot and Looker Studio. Nevertheless, it serves the purpose by transferring specific datasets.
Let’s dive into the process step-by-step.
Step 1: Log into your HubSpot account and navigate to the data you want to export (this could be contacts, companies, deals, etc.).
Step 2: Then click on the ‘Export’ button.
Step 3: Now choose CSV as the preferred file format.
You’ll receive a download link in your inbox when the export file is ready. Click on the ‘Download’ button.
Step 4: Once you have the exported CSV file, log in to Looker Studio and click on ‘Data Source’
Step 5: As you are uploading a CSV file, select the ‘File upload’ option from the available data sources.
Step 6: You can upload the file by clicking on the ‘click to upload files.’ Alternatively, you can also drag and drop the file.
Once the file is uploaded, click on the ‘Connect’ button on the top right side of the screen.
Then, click ‘Create report‘.
All the data from the CSV file is now uploaded to Looker Studio, as you can see below, in a table format.
You can customize the report by using different visual elements and data settings.
Despite the simple process, with manual transfer, your data cannot be sent from HubSpot to Looker Studio in real-time. So, you will need to repeat these steps whenever you want to update your report.
