2. Click the name of a record.
3. In the left panel, click the email icon.
4. Compose your email. You can select a different email address to send from if you have multiple connected inboxes.

Ensure your inbox is connected to HubSpot for email functionality. Also, validate your contact's legal basis to communicate if GDPR functionality is turned on.

How to Send Mass Email in HubSpot

For sending mass emails, HubSpot offers marketing email capabilities:

1. In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Email.
2. Click 'Create email' and choose the email type.
3. Select an email template and customize your email content.
4. Configure your recipients in the 'Send or schedule' tab. You can select contact lists or individual contacts.
5. Review and send your email immediately or schedule it for later.

For mass emails, it's important to consider your recipients' subscription preferences and ensure your email content is compliant with email marketing regulations.

HubSpot Send Email API

The HubSpot Send Email API allows for programmatic email sending. Two main APIs are available:

• Single Send API: This API lets you send individual transactional emails. You can use it to send emails created in HubSpot or to pass through data to personalize emails.
• SMTP API: Use this API to send emails through your own system using HubSpot's SMTP server. It's suitable for sending transactional emails with data from external systems.

Both APIs require the transactional email add-on and allow for tracking email performance in HubSpot.

HubSpot Send Email to List

To send an email to a predefined list:

1. Go to Marketing > Email and create a new email.
2. After customizing your email, navigate to the 'Send or schedule' tab.
3. Select 'Send to list' and choose your desired list from the dropdown menu.
4. Review your email and send or schedule it.

This method is ideal for targeted email campaigns to segments of your contacts based on specific criteria.

By leveraging HubSpot's email functionalities, you can streamline your email communication process, ensuring your messages reach the right audience at the right time.
