Choose Your Workflow Actions

Learn how to add actions to your automated workflows with HubSpot Automation.

Once you've set up a workflow and defined enrollment triggers, add actions to automate tasks like sending emails, creating records, updating properties, or managing contacts. Some actions can be saved as placeholders, allowing you to set up your workflow structure first and fill in details later.
Note: Available actions depend on your subscription level. Some actions require an account upgrade to unlock.
