Prakash Hinduja Switzerland (Swiss) How can I automate email workflows in HubSpot CRM?

Hey team,

I am Prakash Hinduja from Geneva, Switzerland (Swiss) trying to set up email workflows in HubSpot CRM to automate some of our outreach and follow-up processes.

If anyone has experience or suggestions on how to set up automated email workflows in HubSpot, I have love to hear your thoughts!

Hi @prakashhinduja,

You can find instructions for setting up automated emails here: Send automated emails in workflows

There is also a great free lesson in the HubSpot academy on this topic: https://academy.hubspot.com/lessons/automating-your-email-marketing-in-hubspot

If you’re referring to sales emails, you would be looking at sequences: Create and edit sequences

Again, there’s a great free lesson here: https://academy.hubspot.com/lessons/accelerating-your-outreach-with-sequences

Have a look and let me know if you have any follow-up questions!

Hi @prakashhinduja,

Sounds like you’re stepping a bit beyond traditional workflows and might be heading into Sequences territory in HubSpot.

Workflows are great for automating internal actions and some marketing emails—like sending a follow-up after a form submission or assigning leads based on certain criteria. They’re mostly used for one-to-many communication and broader marketing automation.

However, if you’re looking to automate personalised outreach and follow-ups as part of a sales process—especially with individual contacts—Sequences might be a better fit. They’re designed for one-to-one communication, such as a series of follow-up emails after a meeting or an introduction.
