If our Events Director wants to be the first email sent to our leads before I initiate an email campaign in Hubspot, would it work for her to send her email through ConvertKit and is there a HS integration that will allow those leads she sends her email to that automatically imports them into Hubspot, maybe as a list, where I can enter them into an email campaign?
Hi @USotomayor, I hope that you are well!
Thanks for asking the HubSpot Community!
When you say “to be the first email sent” is that for a final review before sending or for seeing the email as other customers would see it, please?
I understand that you’d like to know if the email can be sent with ConvertKit so that the Events Director is the first one to receive a copy of the email.
Also, you’d like to know of an integration that logs email into HubSpot and that associate these emails into a campaign. Please let me know if that’s not the case.
I’d love to put you in touch with our Top Experts and Community Members: Hi @johnelmer, @DanMYD, @Jonas_De_Mets, @Shubham_Sharma and @MarcSn do you have suggestions to help @USotomayor, please?
Have a lovely day and thanks so much in advance for your help!

Hi @USotomayor, I wanted to check in on you. Do you still need help?
If yes, could you please give more detailed information so that we can help you.
The more info, screenshots (without sensitive/confidential information), and details you can provide, the better the Community can assist.
Thanks and have a great day!

Hi @USotomayor
If your Events Director wants to send the very first outreach via ConvertKit, yes, that’s workable but HubSpot won’t automatically know about those contacts unless you pass them in.
There’s no native ConvertKit app in the HubSpot marketplace, so you’ll need to bridge the two tools.
A common option is using Zapier or Make to push new ConvertKit subscribers into HubSpot as contacts.
From there, you can segment them into a list and enroll them into your HubSpot campaign. HubSpot has good documentation on list creation
And on enrolling contacts into workflows (Manually enroll records in workflows )
That way, the ConvertKit email goes out first, and HubSpot takes over with the next touches.
The only limitation is that Zapier-style integrations usually run on short polling intervals, not instantly. If you’re fine with a slight delay, it’s a clean pathh
Now, if you’d prefer those leads to appear in HubSpot in real-time without worrying about API limits, sync failures, or duplicate management that’s exactly the problem we solve at Stacksync. Our two-way sync keeps HubSpot and other systems aligned within milliseconds, so campaigns can flow without manual imports or brittle zaps.
It saves teams a lot of the “integration plumbing” work and lets you focus on actually running your campaigns. Happy to show you what that looks like if helpful.
