This is required urgently, Hubspot has been rendered pretty useless with these subscriptions. Even those with a legitimate intrest can’t be contacted without a subscription. We use hubspot to send important update notifications to all of our software subscribers and eventhough they have legitimate interest we have had to set up a new subscription for “softwareupdates” which of course they are not subscribed and therefore they don’t get the updates. Subscribing automatically by workflow is an urget requirement to keep Hubspot as a viable option. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.hubspot.com/t/be-able-to-amend-gdpr-subscription-preferences-through-workflows/8921)._
