How to change a custom property easily?

SOLVE

We have created a workflow around sending our intranet book (German page / English page still in beta) to prospects and customers for free. After one book has shipped, we want to send reminder emails about a review and stay in touch with the customers.

 

To stop the process we want to mark in a custom property field ("has given a review") with yes.

 

My question is now, if I can allow the customer to click a link in the email, to set this custom field with a value like this:

I have given a book review. / I do not plan to give a book review

 

Does HubSpot provide such a feature?

Hi @mseibert,

 

You would create a second workflow that enrolls contacts when they click the first of the two links ("I have given a book review"). A workflow could look like this (only that you would specify the link and choose your own custom property.)

This link in your email would have to link to a page, HubSpot can't record this as a click without destination. (I'd recommend a short, simple "Thank you for your review" landing page.) For the negative option, you would create another page. (You wouldn't necessarily have to create a workflow branch for that. An empty field for your custom property would give away that no review has been written yet.)

 

If you want to use the same confirmation page for both links ("I have given a book review." / "I do not plan to give a book review."), then the solution described above wouldn't work, since HubSpot can't tell apart the two choices by link. It's the same link after all. In that case, you'd have to create CTAs in the CTA tool (Marketing > Lead Capture > CTAs) and use these two CTAs in your email. Even with the same link, HubSpot can tell apart multiple CTAs. In your workflow, you'd then enroll contacts not by interaction with a link in your email but by interaction with the CTA, see the last option here:
