Introduction

Here’s the thing: if your leads live in HubSpot, you shouldn’t be typing names and emails into PDFs by hand. The HubSpot + BoloSign integration pulls lead data directly into your templates, fills variables for you, and can even automatically update lead stages as your document status changes.

What you’ll need:

  • A BoloSign account with access to Settings → Integrations

  • A HubSpot account with permission to install apps

  • A ready PDF or template in BoloSign

Below are the exact, click-by-click steps you shared. I’ve kept your screenshots and order intact so it’s easy to follow. After that, you’ll find quick FAQs and helpful links.

FAQ

  1. Which HubSpot objects can I use with this template?
    Start with Leads. You can also pull fields from associated Contacts, Companies, and Deals via Manage HubSpot Fields.

  2. Can I send a document from a Deal record too?
    Yes. Create the template with your variables, then from Send to Signers choose the Deal’s associated Lead/Contact. Variables will fill from those objects. Stages can update based on your automation rules.

  3. Can different templates update different pipelines?
    Yes. Pipeline selection is per template. Use one template per pipeline if your stages differ.

  4. Can I add custom HubSpot properties as variables?
    Yes. In Manage HubSpot Fields, select the object, find your custom property, save it, then insert the new variable into the template.

  5. Can I resend the same template to a different Lead?
    Absolutely. On Send to Signers, choose Select Lead, pick a different record, and the variables will refresh from that record.

  6. Is there an audit trail of what changed and when?
    Yes. Track document events in BoloSign (Sent, Viewed, Signed). HubSpot will also show timeline activities when records are linked.

Conclusion and helpful links

You now have a template that fills itself from HubSpot Leads and moves stages as the deal progresses. Less admin, faster follow-ups, cleaner pipeline.
