Send follow-up emails after form submissions

You can automate lead nurturing by adding follow-up emails to your HubSpot forms. With any HubSpot account, you can add a single follow-up email to the form module on each of your pages. If you have a Marketing Hub Starter, Professional or Enterprise account, you can set up a sequence of up to three follow-up emails, which will be sent when visitors submit the form on any page.

Marketing Hub Professional and Enterprise users can also create contacts-based workflows to send follow-up emails and take other actions based on specific criteria, including form submissions.

Add a single form follow-up email to each page

On each page where your form appears, you can add a single follow-up email to the form module.

Schedule up to three follow-up emails for a form on all pages (Marketing Hub Starter, Professional and Enterprise only)

These emails will be sent to visitors who submit the form on any pages.
