Step 2: Create a HubSpot Workflow
Next, head over to HubSpot to create a workflow that will trigger your auto-replies. HubSpot workflows allow you to set specific triggers, such as form submissions or customer inquiries, to automatically send a message via Message IQ. Check out HubSpot’s guide on creating workflows to get started. HubSpot Professional or above is required to create workflows.
Step 3: Choose a Trigger and Action
Choose the trigger that will activate the auto-reply. For example, select “Form Submission” as a trigger and connect it to an “If/Then” action in your workflow. This step ensures that only specific events prompt an auto-reply. For more details, see HubSpot’s trigger-based workflows guide.
