How to Connect HubSpot to Looker Studio (Google Data Studio)?

How to connect hubspot to google looker (data) studio

Looker Studio doesn’t have a native HubSpot connector. So getting CRM data into your dashboards typically means CSV downloads and re-uploads every time you need a refresh.

At the same time, Coupler.io 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.

How to connect HubSpot to Looker Studio with the partner connector by Coupler.io?

It only takes three simple steps to load data from HubSpot to Looker Studio and requires no complex setups.

I’ve preselected HubSpot and Looker Studio in the form below, so click Proceed to get started. You’ll be offered to create a free Coupler.io account (no credit card needed).

Step 1. Collect HubSpot data 

Connect your HubSpot account and choose the data entity to export: Deals, Contacts, Companies, Tickets, Products, Line Items, or any of 20+ other options.

You can also add more sources to the same data flow before proceeding. For a customer acquisition dashboard, for example, you’d add Google Ads and GA4 alongside HubSpot, so all the data lands in one Looker Studio report. Coupler.io connects to 400+ sources.

Step 2: Transform and shape data for Looker Studio

Looker Studio works best when data arrives clean and structured. Instead of fixing column names and filtering noise inside Looker Studio’s calculated fields, handle it here:

If you’d rather skip manual setup, Coupler.io offers pre-built data set templates that deliver structured, combined HubSpot data, which is ready for Looker Studio visualization. I’ll show a few examples later.

Step 3: Load data to Looker Studio 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.

Coupler.io supports many destinations for your choice, for example, you can connect HubSpot to Power BI or export data from HubSpot to BigQuery.

Back in Coupler.io, toggle on Automatic data refresh, choose your schedule (every 15 minutes up to weekly), and click Save and Run. Your Looker Studio dashboard will now pull fresh HubSpot data on autopilot.

Blend HubSpot with other data sources in Looker Studio

Looker Studio supports data blending natively, but it’s limited to blending at the chart level and can get unwieldy with more than two sources. Coupler.io handles the join before data reaches Looker Studio. So, your blended dataset behaves like a single, clean data source.

Other ways to load data from HubSpot to Looker Studio

Coupler.io provides the most complete automated path from HubSpot to Looker Studio, but there are alternatives worth knowing about.

Transfer HubSpot data manually

If you need a one-time data pull or are testing a dashboard concept with sample data, manual CSV export works. You download data from HubSpot, upload the file to Looker Studio, and build your report on top of it. The tradeoff: no automation, no multi-source blending, and you’ll repeat the entire process every time you want fresh data.

Custom API integration

Programming a direct connection between HubSpot’s API and Looker Studio is possible but requires strong technical skills, ongoing maintenance, and familiarity with both platforms’ APIs. This path makes sense only if you have very specific data requirements that no connector can handle.

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.

Connect HubSpot to Looker Studio to create custom sales reports and dashboards  

In this article, we looked at how to connect HubSpot data to Google Looker Studio using two methods.  

Manual transfer is a cost-effective solution if you have a smaller dataset and don’t mind spending extra time. However, it does not actually connect HubSpot data to Google Looker Studio. And it can be a time-consuming process in the long run as your data visualization won’t be updated automatically.

On the other hand, you can set up a connection using Coupler.io. It allows you to connect HubSpot to Looker Studio to create a report from scratch or use an instant dashboard template. Both options allow you to streamline your HubSpot data analytics and are effective for businesses scaling quickly.
