Trigger Marketing Emails from Salesforce Contact Updates

When a contact's engagement score or job title changes in Salesforce, you should respond with timely messaging. This automation drafts marketing emails in Hubspot so you can send them immediately.

Trigger

Contact Updated

Triggers when an existing Salesforce Contact record is modified. Emits changed fields alongside relevant timestamps.

Action

Create a new marketing email

Creates a new marketing email in hubspot, allowing comprehensive configuration of content, recipients, sender details, a/b testing, scheduling, web version, and other settings; the internal `name` for the email is required.

Why this helps

Contact changes in Salesforce often go unnoticed, so you miss opportunities to re-engage prospects or reach new stakeholders at accounts.

  • Catch contact changes and respond immediately
  • Reduces missed re-engagement opportunities
  • Enables faster pivot to new stakeholders
  • Saves time drafting templated emails

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Salesforce and Hubspot integrations to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation with the instruction: 'When a contact is updated in Salesforce, create a new draft marketing email in Hubspot.'
  • 3Set where Notis notifies you (email, Slack, Telegram).
  • 4Choose 'Contact Updated' as your trigger.
  • 5Test by updating a contact in Salesforce and review the draft email created in Hubspot.

Questions about this workflow

Can the email be personalized with the contact's name?

Yes. Notis includes contact details in the email template automatically. You can customize the prompt to request specific personalization like 'include their company name and new title.'

Will this create the same email every time?

Notis uses a template, but you can vary it by specifying conditions in your automation prompt, e.g., 'if title changed, send X email; if engagement increased, send Y email.'

What if I don't want a draft for every contact update?

Specify conditions in your prompt like 'only create an email if the change is to these specific fields' to reduce noise.
