Introduction

Keep your CRM up to date automatically by connecting Mailtrap Inbound Email with HubSpot. Whenever a new email arrives, this workflow finds (or creates) the sender’s contact in HubSpot and saves the full email details as a note for perfect visibility and follow-up.

Benefits

  • Eliminate manual copy-pasting of emails into HubSpot notes
  • Ensure every sender is tracked in HubSpot (even if they’re new)
  • Give sales/support teams full context (from/to/subject/body) directly on the contact timeline
  • Reduce missed follow-ups by centralizing inbound conversations in your CRM

Actions

  1. Extract sender and recipient emails from the inbound message to reliably identify the contact.
  2. Search HubSpot for an existing contact using the sender’s email.
  3. If the contact exists, continue with that contact.
  4. If the contact does not exist, create a new HubSpot contact using the sender’s email.
