Hello! Is it possible to have an automated email sent once new leads complete a form with only Marketing Starter? Mailchimp and similar free mail services have this option so I’m wondering why I can’t find how to do it with a paid version of Hubspot. Thanks! ---

Hi @exploretheshift If you use Pop-up Forms you can automatically send a follow up email. Marketing \> Lead Capture \> Pop-up Forms Once you’ve created your form you can set up the email under the “Follow up” step. Have fun Mike ---
