Use form shortening (BETA)

Last updated: September 24, 2024

Available with any of the following subscriptions, except where noted:

All products and plans



With form shortening, when a visitor begins filling out a form, HubSpot will check the enrichment dataset for existing data. Then, only fields that can’t be enriched are displayed to the visitor, so the visitor only completes the shortened form.

This minimizes the effort needed to fill out forms, increases form completion rates, and ensures high-quality data collection without redundant fields.

Please note: this feature utilizes the Enrichment product, which may require you to take extra compliance steps. Learn more about contact and company enrichment and consult with your own counsel for additional guidance.
