What This Workflow Does

This automation solves the common problem of Shopify leads getting lost in email inboxes or requiring manual data entry into HubSpot. It captures customer inquiries from Shopify/Gmail and automatically creates complete contact records and deals in HubSpot.

The workflow eliminates repetitive copy-paste work for sales teams while ensuring no lead falls through the cracks. By connecting these systems, you'll have all customer interactions tracked in HubSpot from the first touchpoint.

How It Works

1. Gmail Trigger

The workflow monitors your Gmail inbox for new Shopify lead emails, checking every 5 minutes for new messages.

2. Email Parsing

A code node extracts key information (name, email, phone, product details) from the email body using regex patterns.

3. HubSpot Integration

The workflow first creates or updates the contact in HubSpot, then creates a new deal associated with that contact including all product details from the inquiry.

Who This Is For

This workflow is ideal for:

  • Ecommerce businesses using Shopify with sales teams
  • Marketing agencies managing multiple Shopify stores
  • Businesses transitioning from manual CRM entry to automation
  • Teams wanting better visibility into Shopify lead conversions
