This article is based on the Appcues Hubspot Integration. If you don't already have this feature on your plan you can contact us for more information on how to add this feature.

 

Take the Appcues <> Hubspot bi-directional integration with the next level by automating out of product messages to our users as they interact with Appcues content.

In this guide we will focus on sending a review request to G2 when a user submits an NPS score greater than 5, however, the same logic can apply to any other Appcues event.  Follow similar steps to automate messages when a user interacts with a Click-to-Track event, completes a flow, completes a checklist item, and so much more!

 

Build Guide

Once you have your Appcues Hubspot integration configured events generated by Appcues will automatically flow to your Hubspot contact activities timeline.

 

Step 1) Create a Hubspot email template

In Hubspot you will want to create an email template that you can reference within your workflows in the later steps of this guide.

Step 2) Create a workflow to stamp contact details

The problem that some users can have with the integration is that the events coming from Appcues write directly to the contact's activities and not to a set field on the Contact record. The first step in this build guild will be to create a workflow that will stamp values from an incoming activity to the contact directly.

For information on how to do this please review the following use case document, Using a Hubspot Workflow to add NPS Responses to a Contact Record.  In this document we specifically look at taking incoming NPS survey responses and writing the score value to the contact record.

You'll want to deploy a Contact enrollment trigger flow that specifically scans for events coming from Appcues that match a certain value.

You'll also want to parse the information in that event and write it to the contact record as described in the previously linked use case document.

Step 3) Create a workflow to send an email template

For simplicity of iteration we decided to split out this automation into two seperate flows, the first to capture the data and the second to act (in this case send an email).  However, if you desired this could be a single flow within Hubspot.

Using another Hubspot Contact enrollment trigger we will grab the values being update on the fields we are writing to in the workflow from step 2.  

Adding a small delay will make your emails feel more organic and to your end users.  Remember, they just completed an action in your application and may need time to wrap up what they are doing.

Finally, and most simply, use the Send email workflow action to take the email template you have created in Step 1 to send to your users.
