How it works

  • After the contact in Hubspot is assigned to the Assistant user in Hubspot, Assistant will own it for nurturing. Assistant will use the default Sequence and Context as configured in 7Targets.
  • Assistant will leave a note of confirmation like below image for the assigned contact. Confirmation Note from Assistant
  • All the emails that Assistant sends or receives are logged in Hubspot too. Like in below image. Logged Email by Assistant
  • After Assistant is done with her work, the contact is assigned back to the previous Contact owner. For example, if there is a response from the lead, then Assistant will stop further emails and assign it back to the previous owner.

Can I provide the context from Hubspot while assigning the contact to the assistant?
Yes. 7Targets adds a Context field to the Hubspot Contact and you can provide the value for it from Hubspot. If a value is provided then Assistant uses that instead of the default Context.
Can I see the 7Targets Lead status in Hubspot?
Yes. 7Targets adds a field Lead Connection Status to the Hubspot Contact and Assistant will keep it updated as the lead turn from Cold to Warm to Hot. You can add this field to your view or filter on it as required.
Are there any limits?
Hubspot has the API level limits as mentioned in this URL
Please avoid assigning say more than 50 contacts at a time to the assistant.

Re-assignment of Hubspot Contact

Re-assignment of a contact from HubSpot would NOT be picked by the Assistant for processing. This is to avoid accidental re-assignments, when user does multiple select and assign to the Assistant in Hubspot.
In such a scenario, Assistant would leave a note and assign the contact back to the previous owner.

If user does not want this behaviour then there is a preference to put this check off for accidental re-assignments. This preference is a Org level preference and can be changed from ORg Messages->Org Preference.

If the user still wants to assign the contact to the Assistant, then user can delete the value from the field Lead Connection Status for that contact, and then assign it back to the Assistant.
