HubSpot CMS: How we use our HubDB module to power our events page

Here's a Hack which shows you how HubSpot can handle event listings on your website. Find out how our events page automatically updates upcoming episodes and publishes past events to watch on-demand.

As part of the launch of our video content series, 'Behind the Hub', we needed a page where people could view upcoming episodes and watch past episodes on-demand. After deciding exactly what we wanted, our CMS wizard Justyna created our latest module - you can find out how she did it here.

As the Marketer, it's my job to populate the page. In the video below, I run-through how we populate the page through HubDB (which means all formatting is consistent AND the events display in all of our 'related content' modules - like this one, and the ones on our website), and how that displays on the page. 

 

A couple of things I didn't mention in the video:

  • For these dynamic pages, every time you add a row (in this case, for each episode), an individual dynamic page will be created. You can find out how this works in this Hack.
  • Something I didn't mention in the video - editing in the traditional table view can be fiddly. Luckily, in the last couple of months HubSpot added a pop-out editing feature for each row, which gives you a page preview too! See how to find this editor below:

This is great for businesses who host a lot of events and might be looking to build their website on HubSpot but aren't sure how it can handle these types of listings.
