I had a question around HubSpot’s Documents tool and automation possibilities. Is it possible to build workflows or automations based on document engagement, such as:

- A contact viewing a document
- A document being opened multiple times
- Triggering a follow-up task when someone views a specific document
- Sending an automated email after a document is accessed

Basically, I’m wondering if HubSpot Documents can be used as a workflow trigger.

Hey @karstenkoehler ,  
Quick question, are these same document event filters (like contact viewed a document, finished viewing, etc.) also available when building **dashboards and reports**?

Right now I’m only seeing filters like **avg page views** and **total page views** , so I’m wondering if the more detailed reporting depends on those filters being supported there.  
Thanks in advance!

@Shaunak0110 there isn’t any data source specifically for documents in the custom report builder that I know of, no
