Send contact notification details to external email
SOLVE
We have an external partner who deals with all our incoming contacts from a certain set of countries. I know how to create a workflow where whenever a user from one of these countries registers he recieves a notification email, but how can I make sure he receives the contact's details and not just a generic email?
I know I can go over each and every form and create a Country condition that will send him the details, but I've got <150 forms, so this isn't quite feasible.

@beng_dbmaestro and I ran some tests and we got this working.
Here are the steps for anyone else that wants to do something similar.
1. Create a Marketing Email (top menu Marketing > Email).
In the email you can use Personalisation Tokens to add all the Contact details you need (this will pull the Contact information from the Form Submission).
Under the Recipients Tab you want to "Save for automation".
2. Create a Workflow* (top menu Automations > Workflow).
For the Enrollment Trigger you can select Form Submission (any form or specific forms).
For the Action choose "Send Internal Email" this will let you send the email to anyone (internal or external). Select the Email you set up in Step 1.
For testing I would also add my own email so you know everything's running to plan.
3. Run a Test to make sure it's working as expected.
Always, always, always test your Forms and Workflows. Even if you make a change - test it again. It's better to have test data in your form submissions than miss some real data.
4. (optional) create a Campaign (top menu Marketing > Planning & Strategy > Campaigns)
You can add the Email, Form(s), Landing Pages and Workflow to a Campaign so you can see the data in one place.

I've had this problem. Create a workflow to rotate record to owner. Then set a trigger to send a duplicate email with the same information to the record owner's email. This will also help keep track of the records sent to the record owner in the crm.

Having the same issue -- selecting "send internal email" does not allow me to send an email to an external contact. In theory, this makes sense, but does not match the solution posted by @Mike_Eastwood.
This action is only available for contact-based workflow, I'd recommend upvoting this Idea in our Ideas Forum regarding this. You can also subscribe to the idea (Options > Subscribe) to get notified if the status changes.

I'm having a similar issue, and here I'm wondering if there's any way to include Contact personalisation tokens in the email? I seem to only have the option to include Deal tokens, and I need to include information on the contact, not the deal.

Hello @paigeleslie, are you sending an email via deal workflow? If so you will only be able to use deal personalization token, as a workaround I would recommend creating a custom property so you can copy and paste the contact information in a deal property. This way you will be able to send a personalization token using this property.

I'm using Marketing Hub Enterprise. The issue isn't defining the contact, based on country, the issue is that I then want to send the hubspot contact details to an external email, a partner who doesn't have hubspot login credentials.

Great, you've got access to *all* the toys.
If you create a custom email, with all the Contact's details (using Contact Tokens in the email) you can then automate the email in the Workkflow.
In the Workflow you can "Send internal email" in this case internal is actually your external email address. Select the email template (from above) with all your contact information.

Mike,
I appreciate the help, but I feel as if either I'm doing something wrong or explaining something wrong.
Say Jacob Smith from XYZ bank in England signs up one of my forms.
I want Barry Jones from ExternalPartner to receive an automated email with all of Jacob Smith's details (name, company, email, phone, etc).
In essence, whenever a user fills out a form, I receive an automated notification email from the form itself, with the user's data. I want this same email (or something similar) to be sent to Barry Jones, without going into each and every form on my website and adding a manual condition.

Mike, this is amazing, thanks!
My question is, is this specific per form, (do I need to do this for every single form I have), or can I do this in an automated manner, so anyone from a list of countries triggers this external email?

Has something changed since this solution was posted? 'Send internal email' doesn't give the option to send to anyone who isn't a user in our Hubspot account.

hi
I have the exact same problem. But I was trying to send the emil from a deal workflow. I see one more option in the contact workflow (Send internal marketing email); this doesn't solve my problem, but maybe it helps you
Thanks for the detail explanation. For some reason, I do not have the ability to send an email to an external email address when following this plan. Any ideas why?
