UserGems & HubSpot Sequences Configuration with Gem-E Messaging
While UserGems and HubSpot Sequences don't integrate directly, UserGems does directly integrate with HubSpot. The UserGems <> HubSpot integration enables:
The sync of Contacts and Companies between UserGems and HubSpot
UserGems to automatically add Contacts directly to the right Sequence to reduce the manual work for your reps and ensure timely followup
Steps
1. Create Gem-E fields in HubSpot
Within HubSpot, navigate to Settings > Properties (under Data Management)
Make sure Contact Properties is selected in the Select an Object dropdown
Optionally, create a Group for these fields called Gem-E Fields to keep the fields grouped together and the layout clean
On the Properties tab, click Create property
Use the field types and labels from the table below to create all 14 Gem-E fields
Make sure to create all Subject fields listed below, though you will notice that some are not referenced in the table in Step 3 below
Important note: When creating HubSpot properties, HubSpot automatically generates an Internal name from the label. The Internal name is permanent and cannot be changed after the property is created, and the UserGems <> Hubspot integration relies on this value
Example: Gem-E Subject 1 may generate in Hubspot's Internal name field as geme_subject_ 1, but it's important to manually edit the Internal name to the format gem_ e_subject_ 1
2. Add a Campaign Workflow Action to Update CRM Fields
Add an Update CRM Fields action (after the Activate Gem-E action)
Select the object you’re updating
Add allGem-E properties under the CRM field section (our screenshot shows a few as an example)
For each field row, select New Value = "Dynamic"
Map each CRM property to the dynamic Gem-E value by clicking the Label dropdown
Make sure the toggle in the top right is set to "Action On" and save the Campaign
3. Create Templates for Sequences
Within HubSpot, navigate to CRM > Message Templates > New Template
Name the Template "Gem-E Email 1"
Click Subject > Personalize > Search for "Gem-E Subject 1"
Click into the body of the Template > Personalize > Search for "Gem-E Content 1"
4. Create Sequences
Next, create a new HubSpot Sequence using the custom properties created in Step 1. The properties will dynamically populate with Gem-E messaging when a contact enters the sequence. See this article about creating a Sequence in HubSpot.
Your sequence structure should look like one of the tables below.
In HubSpot, navigate to Sales > Sequences > Create Sequence
Add the Templates that were created in Step 2 to the Sequence. Search for "Gem-E Email 1" first.
Check the Delay (number of business days) between Sequence steps. If the second email will send on day 6, then the Delay will be 5 business days.
Example sequence structures are included below:
