Schedule an Activity Series using an Achor Date

SOLVE

Prior to using HubSpot we used to use ACT! where we were able to schedule a series of activities to nurture a cold lead.  Typically this would consist of a series of activiest starting at Day 0 - the achor date.  The activity series would typically have 9 steps which needed to be done at pre-set intervals from the first activity - would include sending a brochure, follow-up calls, follow-up emails, sending another physical piece of collateral.  I can't see anything in HubSpot which would achieve this - instead we seem to schedule each of the activities one by one for each indivicual contact record.  Am I just missing it?  I would have thought that HubSpot was way more advanced than ACT! - but potentially not in this instance?

Hi @RichardM50 yes, there is no delay on the first task, it starts on enrollment, all subsequent tasks can be delayed. I'm glad you were able to get it working! 🙂

Hi @RichardM50 

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

I think Sequences and Workflows could help here.

 

I want to tag some of our experts here - @Jnix284 @SNigam @BukunmiOdetayo do you have any suggestions for @RichardM50 on this?

 

Thank you!

Best

Tiphaine

Hi @RichardM50 definitely agree with @TiphaineCuisset that Sequences are what you're looking for.

 

You can schedule a series of emails, calls or To Dos that run based on how you have it defined and once set up, can be used easily by sales to enroll cold leads.

I can't seem to see a way to space the activities apart by x number of days
(with the exception of emails)

Further to my last update, I have found that when creating the second items the option is there to add x number of days between the steps!

 

Many thanks!
