Manually logged meeting should count as a booked meeting!

We set up sequences that include automated emails and call tasks. Calling is typically when the meeting is scheduled. I hang up the phone, log the meeting into Hubspot, but my sequence still shows 0 meetings booked! Is this a huge ask to have logged meetings count as real meetings? I shouldn’t be forced into putting your meeting link into every email as the only way a meeting can count. Oh, and all of our sequences are cold… so the only way we’d book a meeting there is directly as a result of sequence activity. So the attribution objection is not a concern for us. Just please help me get rid of that goose egg!!!

I have what seems like a similar challenge in sometimes getting direct calls to my cell phone as a response to a cold outreach email sequence. I want to log those as replies and have them show in the sequence stats. Is there a way to do that?

Thanks,
