In today’s business world, success demands more than good products – it requires engaging customers in ways that truly resonate. This article explores how our HubSpot integration enables you to send proactive messages, enhancing customer connections.

Sending proactive messages in HubSpot: A step-by-step guide

Let’s say you have a landing page on your website for a certain feature and you want to engage with customers who visited the landing page more than once.

Step 1: Set up the trigger

In your HubSpot account, navigate to the Automation tab and create a new workflow. Choose “Contact-based” workflow and select Start from scratch. Name your workflow for easy reference, such as Proactive Chatbot Engagement.

Step 2: Define the trigger

Click on the "+" sign to add a trigger. Choose the Page View trigger and set the condition to monitor a specific landing page related to your chatbot feature. You can further refine the trigger by specifying that the contact should visit the page more than once.

Step 3: Craft the proactive message

Under the Actions section, add a new action. Choose Send a WhatsApp Message from the available options. In the message composition field, enter the proactive message you want to send. For instance:

“Hey {{1}}! Thanks for checking out our {{2}} feature. If you’ve got any questions about how it works, feel free to shoot. We’re super excited to give you all the answers you need!”

Step 4: Schedule and test

You can choose to send the message immediately or after a specified delay. Make sure to test the workflow to ensure the message is delivered as intended. HubSpot’s testing tools allow you to simulate different scenarios and refine the workflow if needed.

Step 5: Monitor and iterate

Once the workflow is active, monitor its performance through HubSpot’s reporting and analytics tools. Evaluate engagement rates and customer responses. Based on the insights gathered, iterate and optimize your proactive messaging strategy for even better results.
