Hublead syncs key LinkedIn activities to the **HubSpot contact timeline** as **Hublead app events**. You can then **enroll and trigger HubSpot workflows** the moment a LinkedIn action happens—such as an invitation being sent/accepted or a message being sent/replied. Hublead can also store “last activity” timeline properties (e.g., **Last LinkedIn Message Sent Date**, **Last LinkedIn Message Replied Date**, **Last LinkedIn Invitation Sent Date**, **Last LinkedIn Invitation Accepted Date**) to support additional workflow logic. ### What you can trigger on In HubSpot Workflows, search for **Hublead** under “When an event occurs” to find these **four Hublead app events**: 1. **LinkedIn invitation sent** 2. **LinkedIn invitation accepted** 3. **LinkedIn message sent** 4. **LinkedIn message replied** These events appear on the contact record timeline when Hublead syncs activity. ### Prerequisites - **The contact must exist in HubSpot.** Hublead only syncs LinkedIn activity to **existing HubSpot contacts**, so a workflow trigger won’t fire if the person is not yet in HubSpot. - Hublead is connected and running (Chrome extension installed and HubSpot connection working). --- #### Step-by-step: Create a workflow that triggers on a Hublead LinkedIn event ### 1) Create a Contact-based workflow In HubSpot: - Go to **Automation → Workflows** - Click **Create workflow from Scratch** - Choose **Contact-based under trigger Manually** ![CleanShot 2026-01-20 at 13.05.28@2x](https://knowledge.hublead.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.05.28@2x.png?width=670&height=339&name=CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.05.28@2x.png) ![CleanShot 2026-01-20 at 13.06.13@2x](https://knowledge.hublead.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.06.13@2x.png?width=670&height=389&name=CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.06.13@2x.png) ![CleanShot 2026-01-20 at 13.07.23@2x](https://knowledge.hublead.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.07.23@2x.png?width=670&height=493&name=CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.07.23@2x.png) ![CleanShot 2026-01-20 at 13.07.40@2x](https://knowledge.hublead.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.07.40@2x.png?width=670&height=480&name=CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.07.40@2x.png) ### 2) Set the enrollment trigger to a Hublead app event - Under enrollment triggers, select **When an event occurs** - In the event search bar, type **Hublead** - Select the event you want (e.g., **LinkedIn invitation sent**, **LinkedIn message sent**, etc.) ![CleanShot 2026-01-20 at 13.08.05@2x](https://knowledge.hublead.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.08.05@2x.png?width=670&height=426&name=CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.08.05@2x.png) ![CleanShot 2026-01-20 at 13.08.31@2x](https://knowledge.hublead.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.08.31@2x.png?width=670&height=486&name=CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.08.31@2x.png) ![CleanShot 2026-01-20 at 13.09.06@2x](https://knowledge.hublead.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.09.06@2x.png?width=670&height=450&name=CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.09.06@2x.png) ### 3) (Optional) Filter by sales rep using “Inviter” / “Username” If you only want the workflow to fire when a specific LinkedIn account acts: - Add a **criteria/filter** on the event - Choose **Inviter** (for invitation events) or **Username** (for message events) - Select the LinkedIn profile name (example from the tutorial: *Bastien Paul*) Result: the workflow triggers only for contacts that have: - at least one event of the selected type (e.g., *LinkedIn invitation sent*), **and** - The event is associated with the chosen inviter/username. --- ### Advanced: Route actions by sales rep (branching) If multiple reps prospect on LinkedIn and you want different automation per rep: 1. Trigger on a Hublead event (as above) 2. Add a **criteria** 3. Use the event field **Inviter** to split: - If **Inviter = Bastien Paul** → send Slack notification to Bastien’s channel, set a property, create a task, etc. - If **Inviter = Another rep** → different actions This pattern is useful when you want **rep-specific Slack alerts**, **rep-specific lead stages**, or **different sequences/tasks** depending on who initiated the LinkedIn action. ![CleanShot 2026-01-20 at 13.10.59@2x](https://knowledge.hublead.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.10.59@2x.png?width=670&height=500&name=CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.10.59@2x.png) ![CleanShot 2026-01-20 at 13.11.42@2x](https://knowledge.hublead.io/hs-fs/hubfs/CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.11.42@2x.png?width=670&height=464&name=CleanShot%202026-01-20%20at%2013.11.42@2x.png) ### Troubleshooting: Event synced but not visible / workflow not firing ### Confirm the contact is in HubSpot Hublead can only sync and trigger on contacts that already exist in HubSpot. ### Check the timeline filters in HubSpot If you synced messages but don’t see them in the contact’s activity timeline, make sure the correct filter (e.g., **LinkedIn**) is enabled on the contact record timeline. ### Verify Hublead is correctly connected If nothing is syncing at all, re-check: - Hublead Chrome extension installed - HubSpot connection and permissions set correctly --- ### Common use cases - Notify an SDR in Slack when a prospect **accepts an invitation** - Create a follow-up task when a **message is replied to** - Update lifecycle stage when a **message is sent** - Segment reporting/automation by **LinkedIn rep (Inviter/Username)** - [Getting started](https://knowledge.hublead.io/getting-started?hsLang=en) - [The Core Workflows](https://knowledge.hublead.io/the-core-workflows?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Data Enrichment](https://knowledge.hublead.io/the-core-workflows?hsLang=en#data-enrichment) - [Chrome Extension](https://knowledge.hublead.io/the-core-workflows?hsLang=en#chrome-extension) - [HubSpot](https://knowledge.hublead.io/the-core-workflows?hsLang=en#hubspot) - [Dashboard & Settings](https://knowledge.hublead.io/dashboard-settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Reporting](https://knowledge.hublead.io/dashboard-settings?hsLang=en#reporting) - [Billing](https://knowledge.hublead.io/dashboard-settings?hsLang=en#billing) - [Seats / Team / workspace administration](https://knowledge.hublead.io/dashboard-settings?hsLang=en#seats-team-workspace-administration) - [Troubleshooting & known issues](https://knowledge.hublead.io/troubleshooting-known-issues?hsLang=en) - [General](https://knowledge.hublead.io/general?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Billing](https://knowledge.hublead.io/general?hsLang=en#billing) [![hublead logo-1](https://knowledge.hublead.io/hs-fs/hubfs/hublead%20logo-1.png?width=400&height=86&name=hublead%20logo-1.png "hublead logo-1")](https://www.hublead.io/) hublead.io Help Center Copyright © 2025, Hublead
