HubSpot Automation Patterns

New contact enrichment:

1. HubSpot trigger: New Contact Created
2. HTTP (Clearbit): enrich by email
3. HTTP (Claude): "Generate 2 personalised talking points for this prospect"
4. HubSpot: Update Contact (set company size, industry, AI talking points)

Deal stage automated actions:

1. HubSpot trigger: Deal Stage Changed
2. Router (by new stage):

- Proposal Sent → Create follow-up tasks at day 3, 7, 14 - Closed Won → Create onboarding task, update to "Customer" lifecycle - Closed Lost → Add to re-engagement sequence (90-day delay), log loss reason

Contact list segmentation:

1. HubSpot trigger: Contact updated (score change)
2. Router: based on new score range
3. HubSpot: add to appropriate list (Hot, Warm, Cold)
4. Email sequence: trigger appropriate nurture sequence for new list

Salesforce Automation

Lead to opportunity automation:

1. Salesforce trigger: Lead Status = "Qualified"
2. HTTP (Claude): generate account brief and first meeting agenda
3. Salesforce: Convert Lead to Opportunity
4. Salesforce: Create task: "Send proposal within 3 days"
5. Email: notify account executive

Opportunity health monitoring:

1. Schedule: daily
2. Salesforce: search opportunities with close date in past + still open
3. Iterator: for each stale opportunity
4. Claude HTTP: "What's the best follow-up strategy for this stuck deal?"
5. Salesforce: add note with AI recommendation
6. Slack: alert sales manager

Pipedrive Automation

Deal movement automation:

1. Pipedrive trigger: Deal moved to stage
2. Router: different action per stage
3. Actions vary: email sends, task creation, Slack alerts, AI analysis

Activity log to CRM note: When reps add notes to Pipedrive via mobile:

1. Pipedrive trigger: Note Added
2. Claude: structure the note (extract action items, sentiment, next steps)
3. Pipedrive: update note with structured version
4. If action items: Pipedrive: create follow-up activities

AI-Powered CRM Analysis

Use Claude to analyse your CRM data:

Weekly pipeline review (Make.com Scenario):

1. Schedule: Monday morning
2. HubSpot: get all open deals (value, stage, last activity, days since update)
3. Iterator + Text Aggregator: compile all deals into a list
4. Claude HTTP: "Analyse this sales pipeline. What are the top 3 risks? Which deals should the team prioritise this week? Are there any patterns in stalled deals?"
5. Email: send AI pipeline analysis to sales leadership

Win/Loss analysis automation:

1. HubSpot trigger: Deal closed
2. HubSpot: get all notes, emails, activities from the deal
3. Text Aggregator: compile deal history
4. Claude: analyse what factors drove the outcome
5. Airtable: log analysis to win/loss database
6. Monthly: aggregate patterns for retrospective

Contact Data Hygiene

Keep CRM data clean automatically:

Email bounce cleanup:

1. HubSpot trigger: Email marked as bounced
2. HTTP: verify alternative emails via Hunter.io or Apollo
3. If found: HubSpot Update Contact with new email
4. If not found: HubSpot: set lifecycle stage to "Unqualified"

Stale contact re-verification:

1. Schedule: monthly
2. HubSpot: get contacts with last_modified > 90 days ago
3. Clearbit: re-verify and update company data
4. If company changed or contact left: HubSpot: flag for manual review

Automated Follow-Up Sequences

Never let a lead go cold from inaction:

1. HubSpot trigger: Deal has no activity in 14 days
2. Fetch deal notes and previous email content
3. Claude: generate context-aware follow-up message
4. Gmail: create draft email for rep to personalise
5. HubSpot: create task: "Review and send AI-drafted follow-up"
6. Slack: alert deal owner
