How to show webinar activity on a contact's timeline in HubSpot

Last updated on Apr 9, 2026 by Luuk De Jonge

Goal

It's easy to miss important webinar view and engagement data in HubSpot, because data is often scattered around different views and CSVs. Displaying this info on the contact's engagement timeline makes it easy to get a quick overview without having to combine different data sets. Let's find out how you can show your webinar data on the activity timeline.

Step-by-step guide

Requirements

• A webinar platform that supports timeline activities (e.g., Contrast webinars).
• The webinar platform must be connected to HubSpot through an integration.

1. Verify Platform Compatibility

   • Check if your webinar platform has timeline activities. This is a requirement for the data to sync to the HubSpot timeline.

2. Connect the Integration

   • Ensure that your webinar platform is connected to HubSpot through its specific integration.

3. Access Contact Activities

   • Navigate to a contact record in HubSpot and locate the Activities tab.

4. Open Activity Filters

   • Click on Filter activity within the contact timeline.

5. Locate Integrations

   • In the filter menu, navigate to the Integrations section.

Enable the Webinar Platform

• Find your webinar platform (e.g., Contrast webinars) in the list and click on it. The webinar data should now appear on the contact's timeline.

Common problems and solutions

• Data does not appear on the timeline even after connecting the integration.

  • Usually, the activity is not filtered in by default. You must manually go to "Filter activity", select "Integrations", and click on your specific webinar platform to make the data visible.

• What can I do with the Contrast x HubSpot integration?

  • The integration syncs registration data and view activity into HubSpot — email, name, timeline events — directly onto contact records. It creates 50+ properties and lists that auto-segment by status: registered, attended live, no-showed. There are also workflow triggers, like notifying a contact owner when a prospect watches a recording.

• Set-up is just a single click to get the data flowing. No custom setups needed.
