The call your rep missed shows up on the HubSpot timeline, with what was said
This runs on GreetKeeper's webhook, a Catch Hook in Zapier and HubSpot's own Zapier app. The hook needs a paid Zapier plan. It is not a native write, and the page will not pretend it is.
Caller
“We're a 40-person logistics firm and our warehouse software is falling over. Who do I talk to about a proper quote, and roughly what's your lead time?”
What happened next
- Captured company name, headcount and the problem in the caller's own words
- Asked your two qualifying questions about budget timing and decision maker
- Created the HubSpot contact, logged the call, and opened a deal in New
How GreetKeeper connects to HubSpot
Three states, and we publish the one that is true rather than the one that reads best.

What HubSpot is, and what its Zapier app will create
HubSpot is a CRM with marketing, sales and service tools built around contacts, companies, deals and a timeline of every interaction. Its free tier is why so many small teams already have an account.
The timeline is the part that matters for phone calls. A contact record is only as useful as the history attached to it, and missed calls are usually the gap in that history.
The HubSpot Zapier app creates and updates contacts, creates companies and deals, logs engagements, and enrols contacts in workflows. Which actions you get depends on your HubSpot tier.
Where the call actually lands
One call, up to three HubSpot objects, and you decide how many of them you want.
The Zap creates or updates the contact first, matched on phone or email so you do not end up with two of the same person. The caller's name, number and company go on the record.
Next it logs the call as an engagement on the contact timeline, with the summary as the note body. Your rep opens the record and reads what the caller wanted before returning the call.
A deal is optional and worth thinking about. Teams that open one per call get a pipeline full of noise. A sensible rule is a deal only when the caller answered your qualifying questions, which GreetKeeper can pass through as a filter.
Building the Zap
Twenty minutes if your HubSpot properties already exist. Longer if you need to create them.
Check which HubSpot properties you will fill
Create custom properties for the answers you care about, such as company size or the reason for calling. Mapping to a note is easy and useless when you later want to segment.
Catch the webhook, then connect HubSpot
You need a paid Zapier account. Start the Zap with Webhooks by Zapier and Catch Hook, paste its address into GreetKeeper, and filter on the call.completed event. Then authorize HubSpot.
Create or update the contact, then log the call
Use HubSpot's find-or-create so a returning caller updates the existing record. Then add the engagement, so the timeline carries the summary rather than an empty missed-call entry.
Add a filter before the deal step
Only create a deal when the call qualifies. Put a Zapier filter on the answer that matters to you, then place a test call and watch the whole chain run.
What this connection does not do
Questions about HubSpot and GreetKeeper
Should every call create a deal?
No. Put a filter in the Zap so only qualified calls open one, otherwise your pipeline fills with wrong numbers and suppliers. The contact and the logged call are worth keeping every time.
Does the call recording or transcript reach HubSpot?
The summary goes into the logged engagement, which is what a rep actually reads. The full transcript stays in GreetKeeper, and you can link to it from the note.
Can it route callers to the right rep?
GreetKeeper can transfer by what the caller needs, using rules you set. It does not read HubSpot ownership, so the routing lives in your call rules rather than in the CRM.
Why can't I find GreetKeeper in Zapier's app search?
Because there is no GreetKeeper Zapier app yet. Use Webhooks by Zapier as the first step instead. It is a premium app, so your Zapier account has to be on a paid plan.
