Example use cases
The following examples are based on common sales, marketing, and CRM database management goals.
- Create a new record: you're on a call with a company interested in buying your product. During the meeting, you can quickly create a new deal with relevant information using the Add deal prompt. Once created, you can then assign yourself to the deal or update additional details with Copilot (e.g., Assign [deal] to me), or edit property values in HubSpot.
- Create and review notes: you're the note taker during a company meeting. Instead of navigating to each contact to add notes about them, you can create notes with the Add note to a contact prompt. After the meeting, you can use the Review notes prompt to retrieve the logged notes.
- List records with specific criteria: you're a sales manager and want to monitor which deals are set to close in the next month. You can send a message Find deals with a close date in August 2024 to retrieve a list of deals with close dates in the next month.
- Summarize a record: your CRM includes a company with many activities, but you'd like to see an overview of logged notes rather than scrolling through all activities on the record. You can enter the prompt Summarize company [Company domain name] to retrieve certain company property values and summaries of the company's activities. Learn more about what's included in a record summary.
- Generate a blog post: you're writing a blog post about how to grow your social media following. You can use the Generate blog post prompt to help you get started with a draft written based on your company and audience. If you've connected your account to HubSpot, you can create a blog draft in HubSpot with the content.
- Generate an image: you're a marketer looking for images to include in blog and social media content for a skate park fundraiser for a dog shelter. You can use the Generate image prompt to generate an image of a child with a dog. After generating an image, click Save image to save your image directly to the files tool.
- Draft a sales email: you're a sales representative who wants email templates for different scenarios. You can use the various sales email prompts to help you generate emails to prospects in different lifecycle stages. Some sales email prompts include personalized initial outreach email, email to reactivate lead, and email to thought leader.
- Create a workflow: you're a sales manager and want to assign new leads to your sales reps. You can generate a workflow, including enrollment triggers and action, to automate this process. You can use the When [this happens], then [do this] structure when entering your prompt.
- Research a company: you're researching a prospect and want to learn more about their technology usage and keep track of news related to them. You can use the Research technology and Research company news prompts to gather the information.
