Steal this HubSpot workflow to automatically create marketing contacts based on specific criteria
Using workflows to send automated email sequences based on account activity is a great way to keep them engaged, share helpful content, and introduce the next step in their journey.

What happens when you try to email a HubSpot contact who isnât a âMarketing Contactâ?
