Generate a customer onboarding PDF from HubSpot and email it via Gmail

Introduction

Turn new or updated HubSpot contact records into a polished onboarding PDF using PDFGate, then deliver it instantly via Gmail. This workflow helps financial institutions (and any regulated onboarding team) send consistent documentation at the exact moment a customer record is ready.

Benefits

  • Eliminates manual document creation by generating PDFs automatically from customer data
  • Speeds up onboarding by emailing documents instantly after a HubSpot contact event
  • Ensures consistency with a standardized onboarding document layout
  • Reduces errors by pulling customer details directly from HubSpot fields

Trigger Event

When a contact is created or updated in HubSpot (based on your selected “New”, “Updated”, or “Both” setting).

Actions

  1. Create a personalized onboarding PDF (PDFGate): The automation builds an onboarding document using the contact’s details (like first name, email, and created date) and renders it into a downloadable PDF.
  2. Email the onboarding document to the customer (Gmail): It sends a welcome/onboarding email to the contact’s email address and includes the generated PDF link/attachment so the customer receives the document immediately.
