Purpose and benefits

HubSpot Contact Manager Workflow

This workflow is designed to automate and streamline the process of managing contacts in HubSpot CRM. It provides an interactive chat-based assistant that can help users create, update, and search for contacts, ensuring that the contact list remains clean and up to date. The workflow leverages AI capabilities (OpenAI LLM) and integrates directly with HubSpot’s API, making it a powerful tool for scaling customer relationship management without manual intervention.

Workflow Overview

When a user opens the chat, they are greeted with a friendly welcome message outlining the assistant’s capabilities. The interface then offers actionable buttons for common tasks: searching for an existing contact, creating a new contact, or updating an existing contact. Based on the user’s selection or input, the workflow guides them through the required steps, collects necessary information, and interacts directly with HubSpot to execute the desired operation.

Step-by-Step Flow

  1. Greeting and Options
  • When the chat is opened (ChatOpenedTrigger), the user is greeted with a welcome message via the MessageWidget.
  • The user sees clickable buttons for the main actions:
    • Search for contact
    • Create new contact
    • Update contact
  1. User Interaction
  • The user can click one of the buttons or type a message to specify their intent.
  • Depending on the button clicked, a corresponding message is displayed via ChatOutput nodes to confirm the action.
  1. AI-Powered Assistant
  • The workflow maintains recent conversation context using ChatHistory (last 5 messages, up to 800 tokens).
  • It uses an OpenAI-powered LLM (OpenAILLM) as the backend for understanding user requests and generating intelligent, context-aware replies.
  • The AIAgent is configured with a clear goal and backstory: it is always to use HubSpot tools for contact management, gather necessary information, and decide the correct action (create, update, or inform about existing contacts).
  1. HubSpot Integration
  • Three tool nodes interface with HubSpot:
    • CreateContact: Adds a new contact using provided details.
    • UpdateContact: Updates an existing contact based on provided information and contact ID.
    • SearchContact: Looks up contacts by properties (e.g., email, name).
  • The AI agent uses these tools to perform the requested task, either by prompting the user for more details or by executing the operation directly.
  1. Response and Output
  • After processing the request (create, update, or search), the AI agent communicates the results back to the user through the ChatOutput node, ensuring a seamless conversational experience.

Why is this Workflow Useful?

  • Automates Routine CRM Tasks: By facilitating contact management through natural language or button clicks, it removes repetitive manual data entry and lookup tasks.
  • Scalable Support: The AI agent can handle multiple concurrent requests, making it suitable for teams or customer support scenarios.
  • Consistency and Data Quality: The assistant always uses the correct process, ensuring that contacts are created, updated, or searched in a standardized way.
  • Context Awareness: With chat history and AI, the assistant can maintain context across multiple steps, making the conversation more natural and efficient.
  • User-Friendly: The combination of guided buttons and free-form chat input makes the experience accessible for users of all technical levels.

Example Use Cases

  • Sales Teams can quickly add or update contacts on the go, reducing administrative overhead.
  • Customer Support can look up or amend contact records during live conversations with customers.
  • Marketing Teams can ensure their lists are always up-to-date with minimal effort.
