# HubSpot: Display Text Messages

### How to Set Up and Display Linq Text Messages in HubSpot

You can send, receive, and view text messages directly on HubSpot contact records using the Linq integration. This guide walks you through:

1. Adding the **Linq SMS** card to the contact view
2. Enabling Linq SMS in **Filtered activity**
3. Sending messages from the contact record

---

#### 1. Add the Linq SMS Card to the Contact View

1. Open any **Contact** record in HubSpot.
2. In the right-hand sidebar, click **Customize**.
3. Make sure you’re on the **Default view** tab.
4. Click the **+** button between any of the existing cards where you want Linq SMS to appear.
   
   ![edit default view page](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/edit%20default%20view%20page.png?width=670&height=269&name=edit%20default%20view%20page.png)
5. In the panel that opens:
   
     - Select **Add a card**.
     - Click **Card library**.
     - Search for **“Linq”**.
6. Select **Linq SMS** from the results.
   
   ![add linq sms card](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/add%20linq%20sms%20card.png?width=670&height=273&name=add%20linq%20sms%20card.png)
7. Drag the card up or down to position it where you want in the sidebar.
8. Click **Save and exit**.

The **Linq SMS** card is now visible on all contacts using this default view.

#### 2. Show Linq Messages in Activity Timeline

To make sure texts appear in the contact’s activity feed:

1. On the contact record, click the **Activities** tab.
2. Click **Filtered activity**.
   
   ![filtered activity check](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/filtered%20activity%20check.png?width=670&height=431&name=filtered%20activity%20check.png)
3. Check the boxes for:
   
     - **Calls**
     - **SMS**
     - **Linq**
4. Close the filter panel.

Now, any calls and Linq-powered text messages will display in the activity timeline for that contact.

#### 3. Sending a Text from HubSpot

1. On the contact record, locate the **Linq SMS** card.
2. Click **View conversation**.
   
   ![conversation example](https://help.linqapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/conversation%20example.png?width=622&height=811&name=conversation%20example.png)
3. If prompted, log in to your **Linq** account.
4. Once authenticated, you’ll see the conversation view with that contact’s phone number and any past messages.
5. Type your message in the text field and send.
