I am new to hubspot! I have created a standalone ebook form for my lead magnet. I would like to use the 1 free follow up email feature to deliver my ebook in the email after the client fills the form. However, whenever I try to set it up it shows me the option to create a simple workflow and pay for it. Is there a way I can set this up for free?
To set up a follow-up email for your ebook form follow these steps:
From a form’s Automation tab, you can select what happens after a form is submitted. Turn on simple automation features such as sending a follow-up email to a contact.
Under the Choose what happens after a form is submitted section, look for the Send an email after form submission option.
Click Create this workflow follow the prompts to create the follow-up email that will deliver your ebook. Make sure to include the download link for your ebook in the email content.
Activate the workflow once your follow-up email is set up, ensure the workflow is activated by toggling the switch next to the workflow name.
Thanks @Gaurav_Aggarwal . I tried doing this but it is asking me to pay to set up this workflow. See screenshot below. How to get around this as I believe I can send one email for free, right? Also you can see it says I have created 1 of 1 email when I haven’t created any.
Can you share the screenshot of the email also under the enrollment trigger? and yes you can send one email for free just when you create this workflow it will automatically set the action to send an email and your one email is utilized there from there you just have to select the email as seen in the screenshot below
You have to scroll down this is the first action you are sharing I want to see the second action in the screenshot scroll down from the right side bar as you can see in the screenshot i have shared
As you can see the need changes option it is asking to select an email you want to send to for ebook signup this is the one email you can send with simple automation click on this action and in the left sidebar you will get an option to select an email you want to send after someone fills out the form I am sharing a screenshot for your reference:
