Before You Get Started

Ensure your HubSpot account meets the necessary requirements: an assigned Sales Hub Professional or Enterprise or Service Hub Professional or Enterprise seat, a connected personal email address, and Sequences permissions. Be aware of the limit on the number of sequences that can be created and that tasks in a sequence will be assigned to the user who enrolled the contact.

Creating Sequences

To create a sequence, navigate to Automations > Sequences in your HubSpot account and click Create Sequence. You can start from scratch or select a pre-made sequence template. After creating the sequence, name it by clicking the edit pencil icon.

Adding Steps to Your Sequence

Steps in a sequence can include automated emails, manual email tasks, call tasks, general tasks, InMail tasks, and connection request tasks if using LinkedIn Sales Navigator integration. To add a step, click the plus icon and select an action. For automated emails, choose to start a new thread or reply to a previous email, create a new template or use an existing one, and set a delay for sending. For task reminders, enter task details, set a priority, and choose a queue. You can also add personalization tokens to your emails and tasks.

HubSpot Email Sequence Templates

HubSpot offers pre-made sequence templates to streamline the process. These templates are designed based on common sales and marketing scenarios, allowing you to quickly implement effective sequences.

HubSpot Email Automation

Email automation in HubSpot can be enhanced with workflows. Workflows allow for more complex sequences of actions, including automatic enrollment in sequences based on specific triggers. This feature enables a more dynamic and responsive email strategy. Enhance your email automation by integrating HubSpot with Salesforce, or sync HubSpot and Slack for instant alerts to keep your team informed.
