Outcome. The moment a contact becomes a customer, they automatically get an email with the welcome packet document attached and tracked, without anyone remembering to send it by hand.

When to use it, when not to

  • UseUse it when the welcome packet is a static or lightly templated document (a PDF guide, a getting-started one-pager) that does not need to change per deal.
  • UseUse it when you want open and click tracking on that first document share, the HubSpot Documents tool records views per recipient.
  • SkipDo not use it if the packet needs deal-specific data assembled at send time (a custom quote of features purchased), that needs a merge step outside this workflow or a per-deal document generated manually first.
  • SkipDo not use it for multi-language audiences without a branch, see customer-onboarding-033.
