Basics of the Chili Piper integration

The G2 + Chili Piper integration leverages your G2 product profile traffic by enabling buyers to schedule meetings with your team directly from your G2 Lead form.

Scheduling flow

When a buyer submits your G2 Lead form, Chili Piper automatically qualifies the lead, routes the lead to the correct salesperson, and displays a self-scheduler to book a time based on the criteria you set in your meeting queues.

For more information on how Chili Piper integrates with your CRM, refer to Chili Piper’s Data flow documentation.

G2 Lead data and Chili Piper

G2 sends the following Lead data to Chili Piper:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Business email
  • Phone number
  • Company
  • Company size
  • Industry

These fields can be used to create or update prospect data in your CRM.

Additional G2 Lead form fields, including hidden fields, are not sent to Chili Piper.

How company size data populates in Chili Piper

To make creating workflows using company size data easier, G2 converts company size ranges into a single integer by using the upper end of the range. For example, if a buyer selects 11-50 employees on the G2 Lead form, G2 sends 50 to your Chili Piper workspace.

The following table shows the possible selections for the Company Size field and the corresponding number sent to Chili Piper.

Implementation

Before getting started

To set up this integration, you must have admin access to both my.G2 and your organization’s Chili Piper workspace.

For multiproduct vendors: you must repeat all of the implementation steps for each of your G2-listed products.

Customizing your Lead form CTA with Chili Piper

Prospects access your G2 Lead form by selecting your Lead form CTA button.

If you have a Custom CTA or Free Trial CTA active, your default Lead form CTA button text is “Contact {YOUR COMPANY NAME}”.

Custom CTA

Free Trial CTA

Activating the Chili Piper integration enables you to choose custom text for your Lead form CTA button.

If you do not have a Custom CTA or Free Trial CTA enabled, your Lead Form CTA button text defaults to “Request a Demo” and cannot be customized. Your Chili Piper scheduler will still be displayed after your prospect submits the form.

default cta text

To clearly direct buyers to your Chili Piper scheduler, G2 recommends ensuring that your Free Trial CTA or Custom CTA does not link to a meeting scheduler.

For more information on modifying your Free Trial CTA / Custom CTA button, refer to the CTA settings section of the Leads documentation.

1. (Optional) Map your G2 Lead form to Salesforce or HubSpot

If you use Chili Piper to create or update prospect information in Salesforce or HubSpot, you must define how Chili Piper should map G2’s Lead form fields to the corresponding data fields in your CRM.

Salesforce users can map G2 form data to the Lead and Contact objects. HubSpot users can map G2 form data to the Contact property.

1a. Map default fields

Salesforce and HubSpot use the first name, last name, and email to create and update prospect data. Mapping these default fields is the minimum mapping required to read and write data to your CRM.

To map the G2 Lead form fields to your CRM:

  1. Log in to your Chili Piper team workspace.
  2. From the left sidebar, select Forms, then select ADD NEW FORM.
  3. Name your form with a descriptive name, such as “G2 Lead form mapping”. Chili Piper automatically populates your form with the First Name, Last Name, Email, and Phone fields.
  4. Map the default fields by replacing the automatically-generated Form field name with the correct G2 Form field name using the following table.
LabelG2 Form field name
First nameFirstName
Last nameLastName
EmailEmail
PhonePhone

how to map default fields

1b. Map company information

You can also map company information collected on the G2 Lead form to Salesforce and HubSpot. While these are not required by your CRM, you might want to use this data for routing and qualifying your leads.

To map to your CRM, select ADD NEW FIELD. Then, set a Label, select a CRM field from the dropdown, and enter the corresponding G2 Form field name.

map company fields

To prevent your Form field name entry from being overwritten, you must select your CRM field from the dropdown before entering the Form field name.

The Error message field is not required for mapping. G2 recommends leaving it blank.

G2 recommends using the following Salesforce or HubSpot table to map the Industry, Company, and Company Size fields to your CRM.

G2 recommends using the following table for mapping to the Salesforce Lead object.

LabelLead (dropdown)G2 Form field name
CompanyCompanyCompany
Company SizeNo. of EmployeesCompanySize
IndustryIndustryIndustry

Due to Salesforce’s Account object structure, the Industry, Company, and Company Size fields do not have corresponding fields on the standard Contact object. If you are interested in mapping G2 company data to Salesforce Contacts, please create and map to custom Salesforce fields.

G2 recommends using the following table for mapping to the HubSpot Contact property.

LabelContact (dropdown)G2 Form field name
CompanyCompanyCompany
Company SizeCompanySizeCompanySize

2. Create the inbound router

Chili Piper’s inbound router is used to set your form mapping, select meeting queues, and style your scheduler. G2 recommends creating a new inbound router for this integration in order to easily keep track of leads originating from G2.

For more information on tracking meetings booked through this integration, refer to the Tracking bookings from G2 section.

To create your inbound router:

After selecting save, G2 authenticates your Chili Piper credentials based on the domain and router you entered. If authentication fails, verify that your domain and router name are correct.

Routing and qualifying leads with G2 data

Chili Piper routing rules enable you to direct prospects to the correct representative and disqualify leads based on the criteria you set. You can use G2 Lead data to create routing rules for your Chili Piper meeting queues.

If a buyer does not meet the lead qualification criteria set in Chili Piper, the Chili Piper scheduler will not be displayed.

Buyers who submit a G2 Lead form are high-quality leads. To give your buyers the best experience, G2 recommends avoiding strict lead qualification criteria.

For more information, refer to Chili Piper’s Routing Rules for Concierge documentation.

To add routing rules to a meeting queue:

  1. Log in to your Chili Piper team workspace.
  2. From the left sidebar, select Meeting Queues, then select the name of your meeting queue.
  3. Select ADD RULE to access the Routing Rules editor. If you already set up routing rules for your meeting queue, select EDIT to access the Routing Rules editor.
