In this guide, we’ll walk step-by-step how to send HubSpot deal workflow text messages. In our example, we will automatically trigger a text message whenever a contact is added to a deal.  The contact will receive a personalized text message that includes their first name, as well as a description of their deal.

Let’s get started!
     

HubSpot Deal Text Messages Setup

In order to send text messages using a HubSpot deal-based workflow, you’re going to need to have three things:

  1. A HubSpot account. HubSpot is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tool that allows you to easily manage thousand of customers. To get started for free, go to: https://www.hubspot.com/

  2. Sakari SMS. By default, HubSpot does not have external SMS capabilities. In order to send HubSpot deal text messages, we need to add a third-party SMS service. We will link the two systems using HubSpot integration.

  3. Sakari SMS <> HubSpot integration. Linking HubSpot and Sakari is a simple process that takes just minutes and requires no code. Here’s the guide to setting up HubSpot text messaging integration. 

 

Deal Messaging How-To Steps

     

Step 1: Create a new workflow

Log in to your HubSpot account.
From the top menu, select Automation > Workflows.

Step 3: Set Enrollment Triggers

Now we’ll give our new workflow a name. In our example, we’re going to call it New Deal Created Welcome Message.

Click the orange “Set enrollment triggers” button to add a trigger.

Now we’ll define the HubSpot workflow trigger. The trigger is what will cause the workflow to begin. In our example, we want a text message to be sent to a customer when a new deal is created.
 
To add the trigger, select a filter type of Deal Properties and an attribute of Create Date, where the date is known.
 
Select the Re-Enrollment tab. Re-enrollment will allow us to send another text message to a contact if they are associated with a new deal. Toggle the re-enrollment trigger to on, and select the “Create date is known” checkbox item.
 
Click SAVE.

Step 4: Workflow trigger complete

Our deal-based SMS workflow trigger is complete. Now we need to add a resulting action. In our case, we want to send a text message. Click the “+” icon.

Step 5: Create Text Message Template

We’re going to use a text messaging template when we send our message to customers. Using a template, each message can be personalized using just a single workflow.
 
The message template will be linked to HubSpot using a webhook.  In our example, when a new deal is created, HubSpot will trigger a webhook to the URL we’ve identified.
 
You can create your message template in Sakari and configure the web hook URL. This support article walks through how to create a SMS template with web hook URL.
 

Step 6: Set Up the SMS Action

We’re going to use a webhook to trigger our deal-based SMS message. Select “Trigger webhook” from the workflow action options.
