Use this interactive demo to learn how to build and activate an automated workflow from scratch in HubSpot.

Quick summary

HubSpot Workflows let you automate actions like sending emails based on contact behavior, reducing manual follow-up and keeping your CRM-driven processes consistent. This demo walks through every step of creating a workflow from scratch, setting enrollment triggers, adding actions, and publishing — all inside HubSpot's Automation tool.


Steps

  1. Go to Automation > Workflows in your HubSpot account.
  2. Navigate to Create workflow and select From scratch.
  3. Select the type of records that can be enrolled in the workflow (e.g., contacts, companies, deals).
  4. Give your workflow a name and description.
  5. Hit Save to confirm your workflow details.
  6. Start setting the workflow trigger by clicking the trigger setup area.
  7. Choose whether to enroll records based on events or filter criteria.
  8. Define a specific trigger event — for example, when a contact clicks a link in your email.
  9. Save your Enrollment Trigger to lock in the trigger condition.
  10. Click the + sign to add the desired action to your workflow.
  11. Choose the desired action — for example, send an email when the trigger event fires.
  12. Save your action to add it to the workflow sequence.
  13. Review your workflow and confirm all steps look correct before publishing.
  14. Turn the workflow on to activate it and begin enrolling records automatically.

📌 Why this matters

HubSpot Workflows enable marketing and sales teams to automate repetitive tasks — such as sending triggered emails, updating contact properties, and managing deal stages — without any coding. By connecting enrollment triggers to specific contact behaviors, teams can deliver timely, personalized outreach at scale while keeping their CRM data clean and up to date. Automated workflows reduce manual effort, shorten response times, and ensure no lead or customer action goes unaddressed. For teams scaling their revenue operations, mastering HubSpot Workflows is essential to running efficient, data-driven campaigns.
