The Problem: Too Many Demos, Not Enough Signal
As a bootstrapped SaaS founder, you can’t afford 50 salespeople. You need users to upgrade on their own — or you need to identify which accounts deserve your attention before scheduling a demo.
Here’s the question: if tomorrow the Head of Sales at a unicorn creates an account on your website, would you know in real time?
With HubSpot enrichment, the answer is yes — and it’s easier to set up than you think.
How HubSpot Enrichment Works with Datagma
When a new contact enters your HubSpot — from a sign-up, a form, or a demo request — Datagma automatically enriches their record with:
- Company data: headcount, industry, funding stage, technologies used, LinkedIn company page
- Contact data: seniority level, full LinkedIn URL, verified direct mobile phone
- Job Change Detection: if any contact leaves their company, Datagma creates a task for the contact owner
All data is written to custom properties that Datagma creates automatically in your HubSpot. Your existing data is never overwritten or deleted.
The Result: 134% Improvement in Free-to-Paid Conversion
Here’s what changed after implementing HubSpot enrichment at Datagma:
Before enrichment:
- Every new sign-up looked the same: just an email address
- Demos were scheduled for everyone, including students and curious users
- Sales energy was spread equally across all leads
After enrichment:
- Every sign-up instantly had company size, industry, funding, and seniority
- High-potential accounts (large companies, funded startups, sales teams) were flagged automatically
- Sales focused exclusively on leads that matched the ICP
- Free-to-paid conversion rate improved by 134% over two months
Step-by-Step: Setting Up HubSpot Enrichment
Step 1: Connect Datagma to HubSpot
In your Datagma account, go to Integrations → HubSpot. Authorize the connection. Datagma will create a set of custom contact and company properties in your HubSpot automatically.
Step 2: Choose Which Contacts to Enrich
Select which HubSpot lists to enrich. You can choose:
- All new contacts as they’re added
- Specific static or dynamic lists
- Historical contacts in bulk
Step 3: Define Your Scoring Rules
Use HubSpot’s lead scoring or workflows to assign scores based on Datagma-enriched properties:
| Condition | Score |
|---|---|
| Company size > 200 employees | +20 |
| Funding stage = Series A or later | +15 |
| Seniority = C-level or VP | +20 |
| Industry = SaaS or fintech | +10 |
| Contact has direct mobile phone | +5 |
Step 4: Set Up Slack Alerts for High-Potential Leads
When a lead’s score exceeds your threshold, trigger a HubSpot workflow to post a Slack message to your sales channel with the enriched contact summary.
This is how you get instant visibility on the accounts that matter — without wading through 200 unqualified sign-ups per day.
What Data Gets Added to HubSpot
Datagma adds 70+ custom properties across contact and company records:
Contact properties:
- Direct mobile phone number
- LinkedIn URL

Conclusion
HubSpot enrichment is one of the highest-ROI changes a PLG or B2B SaaS company can make. It turns your CRM from a passive database into an active sales intelligence layer.
The key is automation: every new contact gets enriched in real time, your scoring fires automatically, and your reps see only the contacts worth their time.
