Hello everybody,

How could I do it so that every time I contact someone by email for the first time, a lead is automatically created? Furthermore, I would like to ensure that if this person answers me, the system recognizes it and switches me from Lead to Negotiations

Bye

@Nviale - If you have access to workflows in HubSpot, create a contact-based workflow which enrolls contacts when there is a value in the ‘[Last contacted](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/properties/hubspots-default-contact-properties#:~:text=Last%20contacted%3A,the%20day%20before.)’ contact property. Alternatively, enroll when the contact is associated to an activity which is an outgoing email.  
The workflow action can be to create a Lead record against the contact.  
Then delay until the property ‘Recent sales email replied date’ is known.  
Then update the Lead stage to ‘Negotiation’.

Hi @Nviale,

Your requirement is to create a new contact in HubSpot everytime you email someone from your email and if they reply it marks them in Negotiations. You can do this by following the steps below:

1. Link your email with HubSpot and enable tracking for auto contact creation by following this [Guide.](https://app.hubspot.com/guide-creator/g/ruJqhpW3eH?uuid=c7fdd707-9f8c-4591-85e9-56deeb179192)

2. Create a new Lead Status Called Negotiations

3. Create a workflow with the same trigger and delay as highlighted by @HFisher7 above, but modify the action to “Update Lead Status of that Contact to Negotiations”.
